I think def worth eating there and visiting the bar on the same trip! The drinks were great - some unique Asian themed or tea infused cocktails. They had nice mixes of pandan, lychee, and some bai jiu (Asian liquor) drinks too

The cocktails were excellent and really well balanced. A nice touch was that they serve you hot tea after your drinks, which I thought was a thoughtful way to end the experience. It was pretty warm inside during our visit, but they had paper fans at each table that helped a bit. I'd also recommend making a reservation because this place is popular and fills up quickly. Overall, a great cocktail bar with a unique atmosphere that I'd happily visit again.

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.

The space is very small and intimate. They have a bar located upstairs with stool seating and a few small tables downstairs.

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.

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.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

This is no amateur game when it comes to service and cocktails however. I took a seat at the bar which may have space for about 6 people in a tight fit. It had the worn wooden feel that I have an affinity for (as opposed to the clinical glass and steel sterility of the hideous corporate tower and modern construction). There are hooks under the bar (hooray!). The bar tender was a biochemist by day trade, and had a perfectionist's touch when mixing up my gin drink called "Purple Haze" using lavender-infused gin mixed with another spirit - something almond perhaps. She smoked a stick of thyme and added that aroma to it as well. Very nice touch. The drink was balanced and delicious, not liquor forward which I had specified when the bartender inquired how I like my drinks. Didn't I feel sophisticated sipping this lovely adult beverage in this dingy bar, removed from the hard pavement and roaring I-5 highway outside? Of course the sexy soundtrack of global house music helped and pretty soon I was chatting away with the lovely hostess (she opens the door to let you in once you ring the doorbell at the door outside). The bathrooms were perfectly clean and well-kept. I would take visitors there in a heartbeat to have a well crafted cocktail.

This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot.
