TikTok made us do it, and we just had to get a reservation! I have never been to a speakeasy…read morebefore, so needing a password and everything just to get inside was such a fun experience. Plus, a 1:30 pm brunch reservation is definitely my kind of brunch. The atmosphere inside is awesome, with old school TVs with built in VCRs lining the walls. Our server was very attentive and super helpful in showing us the new menu. He even promised satisfaction with our Hawaiian roll cinnamon bun or he would get us something different, which was so nice of him! We came specifically to try the Dad's 2 cents Weekend Brunch. That is right, 2 cents! What a deal for a can of Spotted Cow. Just a heads up for anyone going, don't forget that you have to buy an entree to qualify for the beer special! As for the rest of our order, my wife got the Salted Caramel shake. She said it was a little too sweet with loads of whip cream, but she really liked the Hawaiian roll cinnamon buns. We split the Fried Chicken & Old Fashioned Gravy Buns. It was good, not amazing, but the vibes and the drink specials totally make up for it. Someone else in our family got the brunch burger and it looked amazing! Bottom line: come for the atmosphere and drink specials, not necessarily the food, but we still enjoyed it lots. Next time I am definitely going to try a smasher, maybe on a 99 cents Wednesday smashburger special!

After wanting to try Don's for ages, I finally went for brunch with my spouse and some friends…read more People think of this place as a pure burger joint, but they do have a few notable vegetarian offerings, both sweet and savory. We knew the password since I read a lot, plus we made a reservation and they tell you if you do. We were the second table seated in the main dining area. We sat in the Gremlin section - the whole place is a nod to 80s pop culture, with memorabilia and big screen projections of stuff like Scooby Doo and the Power Rangers. Star Wars fans will also like it here. Our service was friendly, Isabel took good care of our group. I had a mimosa to start and it was good, but not huge. They have a 2 cent beer special at brunch where you can get up to 3 Spotted Cows with each entree purchased - a bargain for sure! They also have a martini special - go to the website for details. We started with the churro doughnut holes - decadent and so, so, soooo sweet, served with whipped cream with jimmies. They were good, but not for the sweet intolerant. I had the house vegetarian breakfast burrito with bespoke veggie sausage, It was huge and good, a comfort food for sure, but no one flavor stood out in it. It was sort of generic comfort, like a hug from an acquaintance. Spouse had a new dish to the menu - chilequilies with pulled pork. He really enjoyed the dish, finishing the whole generous portion pretty quickly. Our friends had variations on breakfast sandwiches - chicken with gravy and the big breakfast sandwich, which they seemed to enjoy quite a bit. They definitely wanted to return. I hear that the tots were good. I enjoyed the place and would certainly come back if there wasn't so much competition in the market. Everything was solid, just not as special as the locale promises. You won't be sad you ate here. And the theme is fun.

Speakeasies are my favorite type of bar and love that this one is tucked away down Black Cat Alley,…read morewhere you need to press a button to gain access through the gate. We had made reservations so I'm not sure if one can just simply walk up and hit the button to get in for a table. The speakeasy itself is intimate, with dimmed lighting and limited seating. The table we were at was quite small so wouldn't accommodate much more than our drinks, the candle and perhaps if you wanted to reach over for your date's hand. The drink menu isn't your basic drink menu so be prepared for creative concoctions, with ingredients and spirits blended to perfection and served up in a beautiful glass. Our server was friendly and our drinks came quickly. Prices are a little above average but you're paying for the experience as well as the quality of the drink you're not getting everywhere else. The experience was memorable and a place I'd be happy to return to again for a lovely evening.

What a fun experience!…read more This is a really cool speakeasy. Know the password or complete a task (we had to vogue). It's all 90's spy thriller themed and had the dark, mysterious vibes. The food was amazing (highly recommend the cheese curds) and the drinks were delicious. Our server was so nice, she's the one who recommended the cheese curds. We had a great time and I wish I lived closer so I could go back.

You know that feeling of walking in to a dark moody vibe from yesteryear, knowledgeable staff who make you feel at home and cocktails that are top tier? This is also The Estate, but with the bonus component of live music (the best kind of music!). Some of my favorite acts to see here include the soulful Cameron Webb, the organ trio Righteous Rooster, the Commercialists (especially for their annual Charlie Brown Christmas) and more. Such a great variety of sound and styles. Bonus is that online ticketing is very easy and the lowest fees I have ever seen. It is not your typical ticket master / live nation extortion pricing.

We loved the minty creamy grasshopper. The Brandy Alexander was smooth and strong. And the best line of the evening, when one of our group asked for a non-alcohol version, the server cracked us up saying, So honey, you do know that's just a chocolate milkshake? Bryants Cocktail Lounge is very cute and unique. It looks like a house. It's full of cool décor, like a vending machine that sells cute pins. There's a nice garden, with a warm igloo for cool weather. And they make great cocktails!

Had a couple drinks that were mixed well, old fashioned and a Malibu & Diet Coke. Then decided to just eat at the bar. We ordered chicken littles, fries, Chicago & western hot dogs. Roasted beets , potato truffle soup. All of this was so good. The soup was amazing. The Hot dogs were surprising, off the daily special menu. Topped it off with a red velvet cheesecake. So good. The place had a great vibe and lots of character. Would do it again when back in town

The space is cozy and while I do love the overall decor--the lights killed the vibe for me (too, too bright in a space that begs for amber). The drink menu is delightful.
