Bartenders here take their craft SERIOUSLY. As a fellow craft bartender, I can tell they read "Liquid Intelligence," and applied it to their drinks and menu. They were literally juicing from freshly smoked fruit, weighing the sugar going into their "homemade" syrups. This is the one place we will keep coming back to. Their service is top notch, professional, engaging. The ambience is moody but beautiful. Have been here when they had a live performer, when they had a dj and when they just had great music playing. The steak with chimichurri sauce was delicious!

Amazing Experience! So glad this place is here in Upland ! You have to call and make reservations, but it was worth it. We were a party of 7 and Sebastian was great! Very attentive, explained the menu and gave us the option to sit in the cigar lounge area or the booths... the decor gave a very chill relaxed vibe. We sat in the cigar lounge area and had a few cigars. We ordered the truffle fries and they were hot and crispy. Not too overpowering with the truffle, just right. Tommy was an awesome and hilarious bartender. I ordered 2 bartender's choice drinks with tequila and he did not disappoint! His drinks were creative and very tasty !!! Will be our new local spot and will definitely be coming back soon !

New date night fave! This speakeasy is a hidden, intimate space with dim lighting, beautiful decor fitting for the Confessional theme, and high-end craft cocktails / cigar lounge. Food options are so good and pair perfectly with their drink menu. Service is top notch, just super attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Good and bad. The good : cool factor, excellent food, excellent cocktails. The bad: prices are high. I understand the LARP and the need to be exclusive but at some time when my money is green and I want to keep spending it, there should be no limit on my time. Unfortunately, as a tapas model, I wanted to continue eating and drinking but was surprised with a time limit. We wanted to have a cigar after (more money) but there was a party in the cigar room (they weren't smoking) and we couldn't go in. I wasn't told about a time limit and I wasn't told that I needed to add a reservation to have a cigar. With these prices, you need to adapt to your clientele.

Such a fun experience, especially when something like this in the IE where you would have to drive far for something of this caliber. The food was very well game planned, the cocktails were very good, and the ambiance was very cool. The folks working definitely were very attentive and had some great suggestions. Bring a cigar too!

Man this is the best bar/speakeasy I've been to. Vibes are fantastic. Cigar lounge is the place to be. 100/10

Cigar lounge with Oaxacan Old Fashioned

Tried this spot out with a friend one evening and immediately realized this became a go to spot. The service was amazing, better than any bar or speakeasy I've been too. They offer a great selection of drinks and small menu for appetizer like foods. This might be one of the few places in Upland that you can smoke cigars since they have a small lounge that comfortably fits about 6-7 people. Can't wait to go back.

I'm blown away by this hidden haven in Haven City Market! Just entering the hallway to this…read morespeakeasy place transported us away from the loud noise of the main building. Oh and it's the BEST A/C in the entire market! We got served by Jasmine and Casey who made sure our glasses were never empty. The Bizcochito and Thank You For Smoking were unique and truly divine. I truly felt bougie here. My whole group can't get enough of the complementary popcorn. My ONLY gripe is the reservation system that looks like it's always booked - but even if the reservation looks full, there will always be a place for you here. This is a must for any fan of drinks or speakeasies.

We stopped by on a Sunday evening to check out this speakeasy and were surprised to find they had a…read morelive DJ that night for their CREAM Sundays event. They even offer a special cocktail menu just for these evenings. None of the featured drinks seemed appealing to us, so I ordered a Lemon Drop while my husband went with an Old Fashioned. The space is intimate, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a New Mexico inspired vibe that gives it a unique touch. The bartender was super nice, and the music was great all night. It was definitely more of a lively atmosphere, so conversation was a bit difficult at times due to the volume, but we still had a wonderful time enjoying the drinks and music. Overall, it was a fun experience, and we're glad we stopped by. We'd love to come back on a non Sunday evening to experience the speakeasy in a different setting.
