    If you're looking for a hidden gem in Royal Oak, Johnny’s Speakeasy is it! From the moment you walk in (after finding the entrance, which adds to the fun), you’re transported back in time. The vibe is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting, vintage decor, and a cool, laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret. The cocktails? Phenomenal. The bartenders really know their craft, and every drink is made with precision and top-quality ingredients. I had an old fashioned that was probably the best I’ve ever had—smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor. If you’re not sure what to order, just tell them what you like, and they’ll whip up something amazing. The food was just as impressive. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu—everything was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Service was spot on—friendly, attentive, but never overbearing. They really make you feel welcome, and you can tell they love what they do. Overall, Johnny’s Speakeasy is a must-visit. Whether you’re looking for a unique date night spot or just want to grab some next-level drinks with friends, this place delivers. Just make sure to book a reservation ahead of time because it fills up fast. I’ll definitely be back!

    Garrett was our server and he was very nice, he broke the menu down really well and easily and let us know what the specials were. The drinks we had were really flavorful and strong (in a good way). The Paella I had was really good, and so was the spicy lobster roll. My girlfriend had a spicy lobster pasta and her opinion it needed a little more heat and cream to the sauce. Overall, we had a really nice time and would definitely come back
