    What a hidden gem! The walk to this speakeasy was half the fun—full of charm and mystery. If you didn’t know it was there, you’d easily walk right past it, which just adds to the magic. The entrance itself is tucked away so cleverly, it truly feels like you’re in on a secret. Once inside, the vibe is intimate and perfect for a good drink and great conversation. The bartenders are top notch—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about their craft. Every cocktail we tried was on point. The only thing I’d love to see is a small menu with a few bites—maybe a charcuterie board or some light food options to pair with the drinks. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience. I’d absolutely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a cool, cozy spot with a touch of adventure.
