    Best kept secret of the property. Good service, live music, small intimate setting with a full menu. Definitely a must-try!

    Drink menu

    Happened in by chance after checking out the building post construction. The inside is very beautiful and this spot is well furnished/designed to be cozy. We ordered a burger, bread plate, dozen oysters, and brussel sprouts. My husband tried a whiskey highball and we ordered a couple Shirley temples for the kids. Overall drinks were good. Food was also good but a bit heavy handed with the sauces and on the salty side. Otherwise, had exceptional service and a wonderful experience with the kids. It is a bit pricey but we knew that going in.

    Artisan American Cheese plate

    Excellent decor (there's a unicorn head behind the bar!) and service. My husband had the pitch-black Manhattan and said it was one of the best he's ever had! We had the Artisan American cheese plate and it was ok - while most of the cheeses were excellent there was a side of old raspberries and the juice ran underneath most of the cheeses. Raisins were weird/ unappealing being on the stem but tasted ok. Really wish it had honey and a few pieces of bread instead of just the crackers. We enjoyed it though!

    a plate of food and a glass of wine

    Nettle pesto and proccutio flat bread with blue cheese and back truffle sauce. Awesome! Also had the smoked Rosemary old fashioned. Great spot!

    Our favorites of the afternoon: Brown Derby & Sage and the Garden Tipple (so refreshing!)

    Needle and Thread was a wonderful (and unique) experience! Needle & Thread is a reservation-only…read morespeakeasy with NO menus! Ahhh! You enter through a vault door in the back of Tavern Law by picking up an antique telephone. Cool right?! Yep. Once they let you in, off you go up the stairs. We were greeted and directed to our table. Because they don't have menus, your bartender will get to know you a bit. Think moods, taste buds, flavors you love - any insights you can offer will benefit you and your beverage. It's quite engaging and interactive. They jot down your order on a coaster which then becomes a keepsake that you can take with you. I thought it was a really nice touch. Very ideal for a scrapbook/journaling person (read: me). I went with my usual everyday state of being - READING! Make me a drink with dark academia, literature, the library, bookstores, coffee, cafes, etc etc. in mind. My drinks were very me! Both beverages were refreshing, tasty, and coffee-forward. The service was phenomenal and attentive. The energy of Needle and Thread is quirky with a variety of seating arrangements, antique furniture, and warmth. Vibey, if you will. They serve food as well, but we didn't eat. Make a reservation and indulge in this experience! Enjoy your bespoke cocktail! Also, highly recommend checking out their website to learn more about the speakeasy and FAQ's. Oh! They also check in to see if you have any allergies. 10/10!

    My recent visit end of August 2026 still maintains that this bespoke cocktail bar has amazing…read moredrinks. However I unfortunately need to voice some concerns about the new ownership. Past visit 2+ years ago the reservation is through Tock. Recently the reservation is through OpenTable so I thought the points credits will be honored here as they are in the OpenTable network, so I redeemed points to discount $8, only to not be applied to the bill since the reservation $15 per person is a deposit and refunded on seating, instead of most places where the deposit deducts the cost of the final bill. None of the bartenders could do anything, and didn't bother raising this to management (probably downstairs at Tavern Law could've remedied the situation but the short turnaround time implied they didn't try). Additionally, when I got my drink, the bartender did not bother taking a second look to see there's a bug. It was deep inside the drink, not at the top, so the bug did not just fly and land on the drink after being served. So it was a bit negligent, especially given they jacked up the price from $21 to $25 in just 2 years. The price increase did not justify the quality, if anything, price went up significantly and quality dropped... The bartender addressed the issue by remaking the drink but the drink was noticeably smaller than the original one. It would only have made sense if I drank a lot of it, but I only had small sip stopped when I saw the bug. The experience was very frustrating overall that I didn't wish to tip, only to find out they added a 20%+ service charge without my consent when I looked at the credit card statement. That is fraud. Fraudulently adding a tip to yourself earned you a 1 star. Otherwise this would've been more a 3 star experience due to the miss from the bug, and the OpenTable issue.

    Within an expected back alley, you will find a wooden door with a small plate with the name"bathtub…read moreGin" on it. If you are lucky to find the doorway, you should knock to enter this speakeasy. This speakeasy is the gateway to a relaxing environment that has an occupancy of 39 guest. Upstairs you will find a small bar with a single table for two. In the basement you will find more tables and a back room which holds more guest. For refreshments, if you are a gin fan then this is the place to stop for a drink or two has they have a long list of gins. If you are not a gin fan, there are plenty of other drinks to wet your whistle! We had great service on a Sunday, but during holidays, especially Halloween the place gets packed. You may want to secure a reservation during peak times. Lastly be careful in the area.

    This speakeasy was a bit of a struggle to find but that's what makes it exciting. Located in an…read moreunassuming alleyway, the bar is located behind a plain wooden door. The space is very small and intimate. They have a bar located upstairs with stool seating and a few small tables downstairs. We had a party of six but luckily they were able to seat us downstairs without much of a wait. For drinks, I ordered their I'm mad, you're mad cocktail which was light and delicious. It also had cranberry bitters sprinkled on top which added a nice touch. My friend asked the bartender to surprise her with a light and fruity drink and her cocktail also tasted delicious. Overall, a great spot but would be better for small parties.
