The atmosphere was so nostalgic, I was back in the 80's and 90's. The food was amazing and filling. The shake was the best I have ever had.

Unfortunately the projector wasn’t working the day we came in. Not their fault but a bummer as that was one of the reasons I brought my art student daughter in. Food and drinks were tasty and quick. We’ll try again for the cartoons.

What a unique place! I set this up with ma family as a “Mystery Brunch”. The whole speakeasy entry was fun. We were promptly seated and served. The tough part was deciding on what o get. But don’t expect the stadard pub food selections. The drinks were special mixes of sweet cocktails. Some served in crock pots or bathtubs. Service was attentive and never rushed. I would make this a must-do whenever we have visitors from out of town, or even just on our own for a fun time.

My son and I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner today at this unique restaurant. We were both very pleased with the food and the service. The shakes were delicious. We both thought the secret exit was fun, and we can’t wait to come back again.
