What People Say
Reviews from our guests
Dave Tanyus
3 years agoFun place for a relaxed evening with friends. They have a simple menu of appetizers. Items are good and reasonably priced, they do run out of items so be flexible. The atmosphere is 1920s so the music reflects the music prior to 1960. They do have outdoor seating. It is worth spending a few hours.
truth teller
year agoI absolutely love this place. I visited on Saturday night 8/24/24 with 2 friends. The food was really good. We had the brussel sprouts, meatballs, and a chicken spinach flatbread. Then we had 6 drinks. Everything is reasonably priced. The bartender Reagan is awesome.They also have a nice outdoor patio set up for live music.
Kenny
year agoYou walk in, and get greeted like you're a regular, you hear Kai the bartender, singing a soft played song, and sounds great. The atmosphere is dim, calm, and almost like it's out of a movie. The decor is sleek, drinks are great... please go if you haven't.
Jonathan Cheatham
10 months agoIt feels ironic posting a review on Google for a speakeasy, but it has to be said - this is such a a fun and creative spin on the classic 1920's aesthetic, that I couldn't help myself. Great staff and great drinks.

Jeff Vetter
5 months agoMy only complaint is😙 that I drive a long way and your not open. It's definitely a time you would and should be open. I check the website and it says the hours. This has happened multiple times! Aggravating.
Kristen Rippee
year agoAbsolutely love The Speakeasy. My friends and I enjoy going there for a couple drinks some nights. Such a laid back and amazing atmosphere and the staff is always amazing. The specialty cocktails never disappoint and Reagan and Jeremy are always willing to change it up for a restriction I have. We recently had a 20’s theme birthday party there and the whole night was more than we could have imagined. Love this place.

3 weeks agoThis is such a fun stop on Route 66! The atmosphere is so relaxed. The drinks are great and the workers are so friendly.
Robert Elmore
month agoThe Speakeasy is an absolute gem! Fabulous prohibition era theme & classy decorations. My Old Fashion was perfect.
Kellsie Roth
week agoMy husband and I stopped here a few weeks ago for my birthday, and it was a neat little spot. The ambience is laid-back and private. Great place to sit and have conversations—not great for a large group. We stuck with bourbon cocktails and they were well-crafted. Cocktails only! Not sure if you can bring your own snacks. I would recommend this place for a quiet night out. The ambiance was like a traditional speakeasy, including the entrance that I missed in the dark and in the rain! So I guess it did its job LOL. Low-lit, sofas and chairs give it a super laidback lounge bar. I was only missing a good cigar!
