Honestly overrated and didn’t live up to the hype. Seemed to be understaffed. Would have ordered a second or third round but no one really came around. Also it was hot, very warm. Would not return or recommend

Wonderful if pricey drinks ...service (( save for Jorge who is the only reason we got our first drinks AT ALL)) is sort of atrocious. Egregious slowness/bad vibe/general WTF from the bartenders especially horrible Sean who allegedly had 4 tables to tend to but only even SPOKE to ..much less took or gave an order ..ONE table. No apology or anything either. Horrible service. But let's end positive ...Jorge was magnificent as were the people who led us to the doorway and hall of the entrance!

Such a cool speakeasy in the W Hotel. The staff is so nice and very attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

It was absolutely terrible. Our reservation was for 7:45 PM and as soon as we walked in, we were delayed at being greeted, and when we finally were acknowledged, our table was not even ready. Looks like the table that they were going to give us already had drinks on it for someone else. When they finally did seat us, nobody came by to greet us or offer us anything to drink, and we were sitting there for almost 30 minutes. There were servers coming around to the people to the left and right of us, but we weren’t ever acknowledged. When we decided to get up and leave, no one even noticed we left. This place is not a true speakeasy. It’s inside the W hotel and the only thing that they did tell us was that we only had an hour and a half to be there. Not a very pleasurable first time experience and would never recommend going there. It’s such a shame because they could’ve really capitalized more on this concept. It wasn’t even that busy inside so we would be able to empathize somewhat if it was too busy, but not if you have people sitting there for 30 minutes and expecting them with a reservation. This was planned weeks in advance and considering that it was Valentine’s Day, you would think they would’ve been more prepared if that was the case.
