This is a speakeasy connected to the State in Rancho Cucamonga. Been here several times. And before you would go into a closet to go thru an armoire and into the speakeasy. Now though you just walking into the closet and they open the door for you to go in. But it is cool though that they allow you to use your phones and take non- flash photos. Before they would kick you out if they saw you taking pictures and they were super strict!! Saw several people kicked out. I do love how they change the drink menu seasonally. And their bartenders are so good you could tell them what you want and they'll make it to your liking. Like what kind of liquor, sweet, fruity, tart, refreshing etc. Their knowledge of what goes together is amazing. My wife and I ordered the same drink but asked for totally different liquors and it was amazing. They do have a food menu, which is the same as the main restaurant, but no samdwhichs or burgers. They are really quick with the drinks. And they taste amazing. Prices are like $15, which you cant find anymore. Especially with their quality!! The drinks look so pretty. The food is good too Tacos are amazing, brussel sprouts are good. Everything here is good. And yhe food comes out quickly too!! The decor is dark. Very dim lights. Odd art on the walls. Evidently women who have killed men. Which i thought was a weird theme to go with. Seating inside is tight. We were on the couch and the high tops must've been like 5 inches away from our heads. So you can hear everyone's conversations. Fortunately for us this time around there was only 1 other person at the bar. So it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Bartender was super cool. Gave us a complimentary drink. Overall it was a very good night. Great drinks. Great prices. Felt very exclusive. read more

Really awesome speakeasy! Excellent service. Great ambiance. There are a few house rules. You are limited to a 90 minute visit. You must stay in your assigned section. No flash photography but you are allowed to take pictures and videos. Just no tagging them. I wish they had more food options but I totally get it. This place is more for the vibes and to grab drinks and some small bites. The cocktails were delicious. Their mixologists know what they are doing. read more

Party of 9 and everyone loved it! We had reservations for Saturday 8/2 @ 8pm for a birthday. So there are rules, no flash photography, don't tag them I believe. But we had such a good time and enjoyed all the food that we actually forgot to take any really. Pictured are the delicious whiskey sours. For food we had a few appetizers like the bacon dates (my favorite) shrimp Mac and cheese, poutine and friend tried some lettuce wraps. Overall it made us want to come back and try their full menu outside. Service from the hostess to our server was exceptional and fun. We had a little joke about being tóxicas and our server said that he expected more that we weren't that tóxicas and we all got such a kick out of it. Very attentive and kept the drinks following. Oh and insider was small but very cute. Highly recommend to try it out. read more

Love the place. Its great! Ambiance has the 60s vibes and the bartender are amazing. read more

It's a really cool speakeasy! The mixologist were great so helpful! They did a great job at all the fun twist and turns I threw at them making fun cocktails. The food was good. You only get to order appetizers, which is a bummer. They were out of things which again was a bummer. So you had literally five things to choose from for appetizers that was a shame. But once you walk inside, it's really pretty decorated. Overall was a good experience. I just wish they fixed their food situation. And had a better selection and weren't out of things. read more

Love the moody atmosphere & the specialty drinks are yummy! This is a great place to have nibbles & sips.

Love the vibe of this speakeasy. It's very moody and feels very intimate. Perfect date night spot. The drinks were so-so. I would suggest this spot for the vibe not the drinks. read more

Had a great time the bar had everything I enjoyed drinking very high-quality bourbon and great natural tequilas. The bartenders were very knowledgeable. The venue was outstanding. read more

Booked online for 9:15, we were seated at 9:30 by the host and servers never came to us even at 9:50pm. No water nothing, not even came to us saying sorry or can you hold on a min we are really busy. Nothing nothing nothing. We just got up and left. read more

My Favorite Hidden Gem . It's such a beautiful environment, I love the aesthetics, the drinks and the customer service is impeccable. Definitely, one of my favorite places in the area. read more

Such a fun girls night! Our server was so friendly and accommodating - especially with all our mocktail requests (Virgin Hos...Virgin Girl Next Door) for those who were not imbibing. We were able to order some of the food from The State menu. We enjoyed most of it. The ambience was a whole vibe. Loved the art that matched the energy of the name. Will definitely go back and hope to check out the Black Antler Book Club soon! read more

The era of Prohibition allures guests into this secret haven. A true speakeasy. Hidden in plain sight the ordinary person wouldn't know it exists. Finally able to visit this wonderful literally hidden gem not too far from home. Great front of house host. The mixologists inside this charming speakeasy were so friendly creating a pleasant visit. There are no phones allowed and I love that. It makes the encounter genuine and special for the next person. Leaving room for one's anticipation to grow. Just an idea maybe once a month feature a piano player or some type of live mellow music or even some 1920s instrumentals to set the tone to enrapturing and elevate the experience. That being said I didn't mind the vibe. The service and surroundings were wonderful. We did have an exquisite time soaking in the ambiance, food and good drinks. Overall it was beyond what I imagined and really hit the target of speakeasy. read more

Amazing place! The menu was small and special theme which changes. The drinks were delicious and the ambiance was dark, intimate and beautifully decorated. Loved it for a special night out! Service was top notch!!! read more

It was a really fun experience and the drinks were delicious! The service was impeccable and the ambience was very swanky!

Absolutely AMAZING! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a different era--dim lighting, cozy seating, and a great vintage vibe. The drinks are expertly crafted, with a menu full of creative cocktails that are both unique and delicious. I loved the attention to detail. The bartenders were knowledgeable and happy to recommend something based on your taste. They offer appetizers and drinks. They have a 90-minute limit for reservations, savor each moment! It's the perfect spot. Definitely a hidden gem worth seeking out! read more

For a first experience it was definitely worth it Five stars indeed well deserved Great appetizers Good ambiance Excellent service Tasty drinks read more

I simply love it here. Great to go with anyone. The service and menu is great. Each holiday has a theme secret menu of drinks. Enjoy the music and privacy read more

Strong drinks, lovely mocktails, and good variation in seating. I enjoyed the entrance in.

What a fun night out! Drinks at the State are always delicious and the speakeasy was no exception. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Such a fun experience! Will be returning! read more

Love speakeasies and love not having to drive out of the city to visit one. Drinks are good but similar to their regular menu. Food seems to be the same as the State's menu as well. I would definitely recommend making reservations before visiting and visiting on a weekday as they are less busy. Had to subtract 1 star as they do not seem to be as strict as I was hoping on their no flash photography rule. Overall, it was a fun experience. read more

This is a nice little hidden gem! I have never been to a speakeasy, so was a little nervous what it would be like. The atmosphere was great, drinks were amazing, and the appetizers were delicious. read more

An amazing speak easy. Most def check it out. However, you should know photos are not allowed.

Cool spot with limited food options. The drinks, however, were very good. The music and the vibe were chill and laid back. The place only seats 40 people, and there is a 90 min limit. So reservations are required. ;) Hope this review helps you out. read more

Ryan is the best needs a more money for what he does best drink mixer !!! Fr the best speakeasy in town !

given that you have a 90 minute time frame to be here, was extremely disappointed that it took 30 minutes for waitress to take our drink order- who then went on her lunch right after. The ambiance is incredible, really great vibe and beautiful lounge looking environment with floral wallpaper and modern furnishing. Took 47 minutes to get our first drink, thus leaving no time for a second drink within the time frame. Manager was kind enough to give us a free appetizer to make up for inconvenience. Although, at the end of the night waitress incorrectly charged us for the appetizer, total was $29 which we split but we were both charged $25. Torn as holiday drinks were really great and decently priced at $13-14 dollars each, and manager was incredibly kind. To add to the whirlwind of events, super star manager then comped our drinks and it was on the house!! She truly deserves a gold star and has excellent customer service. Would try again and re-review with the hopes that this was a one time bad night in terms of wait staff. read more

Cant show up with alleged reservations. Saw plenty of people walking back. Its a sham. Major fail.

Someone told me about this place so I booked a reservation to see how it was and when I tell you we had a really good time. The vibe was good. The bartenders were amazing. I would definitely come back to this place. This is actually my first time going to a speakeasy venue and I really enjoyed myself, the drinks were amazing and strong. The appetizers were delicious. They deserve 10 stars. read more

Ok so, I'm from LA and let me tell you we got the spots when it comes to speak easy's! When I moved out here I was bummed because I thought I would have to drive all the way to DTLA or the Westside to get that experience again. WRONG! The cocktails are delicious! The food was bomb and my husband and I LOVED the atmosphere! We have been here 3 times already and can't wait till we are able to go back again! read more

Veuve Noire is a hidden gem! We love speakeasy bars and we came here with another couple that shares that same love. No phones or cameras are allowed, so make sure you put them away. I really liked that rule, as it really makes you talk and enjoy those you are with, the surroundings, food and drinks. Other groups were talking and enjoying each other's time as well, so it really is a way to get away from it all. Call and make a reservation, if you just walk up and ask, you may not get seated. How busy they are may depend on the day and time of day. We stopped in on a Friday night and had a reservation. Because some were a no show, we were seated early. There is usually a 2 hour time limit, but they will allow you to stay a little longer if no one is coming in (this is common with places like this as to meet the reservations throughout the night). The drinks we had were amazing and on par. They do have their own food menu, however we were able to order some of the appetizers from the restaurants main menu. Our overall experience was great and we will be back again! We hope to visit the location in Redlands soon! read more

First off f**k the state and if your down with the state f**k you too. I made reservations online. I show up and they tell me I'm sorry were booked i don't know how our site booked you. I'm like WTF that is not my fault that's sounds like a company's issue. So me and my date had to leave. Total BS I had copy of the email reservation! So disappointed. I think it was because I Mexican if I was white would probably got in. This place has to be racist! read more

Really cool place! This is the speakeasy in the back of the state restaurant at Victoria Gardens. Such a cool atmosphere and great staff. We especially enjoyed our bartender. He made us some awesome drinks both from the menu and off! The drinks were very impressive--pretty, distinct flavors, interesting combinations, and delicious! The only thing I thought needed improvement was the food menu. They pretty much only had a few cheese/meat board type options which were yummy but I need to eat more than that sometimes so one or two more substantial options would have helped! Not a huge deal though since the state restaurant is right outside. Just saying, don't come hungry! read more

Great ambiance and romantic vibe. Only had drinks. Service from bar tender was great.

I have been there twice now and it keeps getting better. The first time I went and didn't had much expectations. I just wanted to know what it is. Even the State restaurant has amazing drinks and I always had fun there. As soon as we entered, we were transformed to a completely different world. For a second, I couldn't even imagine I was in Rancho/IE. It looks like I was sitting somewhere in downtown LA/Hollywood. Awesome job with the interior. And not to mention, the very knowledgeable bartenders/mixologists. Reservations are a Must and you won't be disappointed. My Third time tonight treating a good friend of mine. read more

Food was great, drinks were great, the server was incredibly nice & welcoming & informative, and the vibe was incredible in that room. Could be good with a big group, but very intimate and highly recommend for a romantic date! read more

This review is for the speakeasy hidden in the back of The State restaurant. How to get in: must make a reservation online. Click "the state" on top center. It will take you to another page where you can make a reservation. Check in with the host and they will direct you in. I came in on a Saturday night at 11:30pm. It is a dim lit small room with seating at the bar and couches with coffee tables. They have a wide variety of liquor, a few menu cocktails, and 3 small food plates. I ordered the poutine. It wasn't that great, so I don't recommend it. However, the drinks were good. This place doesn't allow use of phones, so this place is great for small groups or a dates. read more

probably my favorite bar in the IE at the moment. the ambience, drinks themselves, and the bartenders all made the experience. Chris was super attentive and was able to make me an amazing drink off the top of his head after I asked for a drink similar to something else they had on the menu. definitely a must try place! read more

Love this place! The speakeasy ambience is on point and the drinks are so good. If you come here make sure you come on Thursday's because Hannibal has a table and he preforms his magic routine for those who sit with him. He is awesome! If you see him sitting alone pull up a chair and sit with him and he begins his performance. My friends and I sat down and caught him about 20 minutes before he was done and we had a blast! It was great and we're definitely going back to see him again! read more
