“ This place was recommended to us by friends, and we're so glad we went to check it out. Ayla served us, and based on my cravings, she recommended a seasonal cocktail, the Water Bird cocktail. It was delicious and exactly what I envisioned. My friends ordered different types of Mules, and everybody loved their choices. Kat prepared our cocktails. Thanks to both Ayla and Kat for making our experience wonderful! We'll be back next time we're in Duluth. ”
“ Fun place with live music when we were there. Wish they had a seltzer option but I tried the classic dacquri and it was fine. ”
“ We had a wonderful time celebrating my friends bachelorette party here! The vibes are amazing and the drinks are good aswell! My personal favorite was the “not a bees knee” which was N/A but you can add liquor if desired! The drinks are definitely on the high side but you are paying for the experience too! We went on a Friday night and there was live music, which he did a fantastic job and even sang my friend a love song in honor of her upcoming wedding! Things were fairly slow until about 8-8:30 when more people showed up. I will definitely come back here in the future! ”
“ Loved the vibe. A local jazz band The Hot Club of Duluth was playing along with a live painter Kat Ford when I visited. Some customers were dressed up which added to the vibe but that’s not required. All of them were coming together to create this classy yet not so formal, vibrant yet chill atmosphere which I enjoyed so much. ”
“ This was my favorite bar in duluth, hands down. Bartender was amazing and made a phenomenal old fashioned. Atmosphere was just perfectly balanced with dim lights and low music, with a 1920s vibe. Amazing drinks, amazing atmosphere. If you're in the area, stop by and check out this speakeasy. ”
“ Cool place. I'm usually a Coors Light kind of guy but this place offered delicious drinks and a unique experience. As other reviews mentioned it looks like a Speakeasy but is very clean. ”
“ Great vibes, history and live 1930’s jazz music with no cover. A true speakeasy atmosphere. The drinks and service are top notch. No food available but you can bring your own food in. Bar service only the night we were there but signs said, “Have a seat and someone will be with you” so that was confusing. ”
“ That is really the great bar! If you love cocktails, this is where you should be! Classics are perfect, but if you want some experiments, ask bartender for that, just explain him direction. All team who work here is really nice! Wish to.come back once. ”
