Wonderful speakeasy style bar (go through to the back) experience level varies depending on what bartender you get but everything I've had there has been creative and well constructed.

No food, but there's a pizza spot next door. Drinks are fantastic, Try the Dolly Parton or the Bourbon w/ red wine reduction. Usually a DJ or a music band playing. Pool table and patio seating in the back. Always a great time! Won't be disappointed

A+, 10 stars, 100%…this bar is top notch! I threw my bachelorette party here and Tim, the owner, was beyond attentive, generous, and thoughtful. He planned specialty cocktails based on flavors I liked—-each drink was gorgeous and everyone kept saying so all evening. His bar crew was also incredibly kind and the service was great the entire time. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue for how beautiful it was; we loved having the second floor and the patio too—such a great spot in Akron if you ever need to host an event!!! Highly recommend!!

Baxter and his team have created the coolest Speakeasy in Akron!! Reminds me of the cool spaces I frequented while living in the Chicagoland area. I've shared a few pics before opening hours. Everyone is so personable and engaging. I love the vibe and energy here, and the drinks (thanks Shevy) are amazing!

Amazing atmosphere. Love the separate sitting areas for privacy. Nice outdoor deck and dance floor. Darts and pool table. Nice and eccentric bartenders but Drinks terrible and very weak each time we have gone. No food but pizza place next door.

This funky little bar is excellent! The bar tender is friendly and he pays attention to detail, crafting each cocktail as a work of art! Everyone is welcomed and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Nice mix of tunes including 70s funk, just the right level so you can enjoy a conversation and appreciate the music. Will be back! The Manhattan, and the cocktail called the Raven (a mix of smoke and wood flavors), were superb, made with Uncle Nearest 1884.

Wow! You gotta check out this speakeasy. Super fun! The bartenders were a delight, Chevy was sweet. I love the aesthetic. Friday night dancing and DJ started around 9:30pm. The vibes were upbeat, good crowd. Lots of people were dancing. Highly recommend. I will be back!
