   We had a fantastic time on all fronts. The ambience, customer vibe, food, service, music were all outstanding. The bad vs. good reviews here seem to directly correlate with weekdays vs. weekends. We came on a Wednesday evening with a reservation. Dark, cozy, open a little later, with good food and music...this is exactly what we've been looking for for months in Annapolis.

   The waiter was extremely rude and nasty. Made a reservation at 9:00 and was not seated till 9:30. The waiter refused to service our table, slammed our drinks, rolled his eyes, wouldn’t serve certain people at our table. Pretty bad experience

   The guy at the host stand upstairs was dismissive and rude, which set a bad tone at the start. But rest of night was nice

   Our first time here. Definitely not our last. Drinks and food were fabulous. We tried the cheese and meat plates. Both were very good. I only wish they’d had crackers of some type for the cheeses. When we asked, though, the waiter quickly brought some great bread. And speaking of the waiter…Ricky was on point. He gave us our space, but also gave us everything we needed when we needed it. We also tried the chef’s special - a mushroom gnocchi - and that was a real highlight!

   Such a unique spot. Only place like it in Annapolis. The style, ambiance, drinks, and staff were absolutely fantastic. Love everything about HB

   It wasn’t quite the same as the original place in DC, but it was still a great time and worth going back.

    Tried for first time had Ketel martini and ketel rocks for cocktails. Drinks were good. Had meatball appetizer which was good and had nice spice but not very warm. The music for us was too loud and overheard bartender tell other customer it was Spotify that plus were were expecting either holiday background or jazz /something from the speakeasy era made for an underwhelming experience. It’s a unique venue for Annapolis but not likely to return

    Our server, Ricky, was great. We did seem to get tossed around, though, when we arrived even though we had a reservation. So that felt awkward. And there was a smell of sewage in the basement bar but the food and drinks were good.

    The venue is pretty and comfortable, service and food were great. But the downstairs bar was too loud and the air was stale. Perhaps consider baffles on the ceiling to make the voices less harsh and maybe some fans or ventilation of air. I will certainly return.

    We loved the ambiance and vibe of the restaurant, but the service was so so, they need more staff. I arrived and ordered a drink within 15 minutes the rest of my party waited almost 45 minutes. I know they were slammed, which is why we didn’t complain. But don’t go with expectations of having speedy drinks. A few staff were quick to refill our waters as we were waiting for drinks. It’s a small menu, but you can find something to eat. It’s a very cool vibe for annapolis. I would definitely go to check it out. I think sitting at the bar you would have quicker service.

    My husband and I came by after dinner, we had a reservation for 9 but came an hour early and we were seated immediately. The ambience was fun, the drinks were good but service was a tad slow. It took forever to get our drinks, but feel like many places are trying to do more with less so it wasn’t a big deal. We ordered the chocolate cake and it was just OK. Fun for a date night or night out with friends.

    I'll start off by saying very disappointing. Alcohol is overpriced especially for the wine pours. Cheeseboard was just okay, but also overpriced. For the Speak easy atmosphere their looking for which is quite nice, it was extremely loud. Service was very slow, not sure if they were shorthanded or not.

    Cute speakeasy but the service was terrible! The waiters were friendly but were slammed and there were only two bartenders to serve far too many customers. We waited forever for our drinks. The music was so loud, it was impossible to have a conversation. I would like to try it on a weeknight to see if it would be less crowded and more enjoyable.

    Annapolis so needed a speakeasy like this, but it's obviously in its infancy. The atmosphere is amazing, reminding us of cocktail dens in NYC and London. The drinks were exceptional, but the drink menu needs to be more extensive and the food more refined given the price point. The meat and cheese boards were good quality, but very uninspiring in presentation. Our server was new and uninformed about the nuances of the menu, but very attentive. We will definitely return and look forward to the staff perfecting the experience.

    The place actually should not be on OpenTable because it’s a bar, not a restaurant!! We booked this with the expectation that we were going to an Italian restaurant, which is how it’s described. That said, the drinks and snacks were very good! The service was decent, but the space was kind of quirky and insanely loud!

    It was a nice place, but pricey. The food menu was small. More of a appetizers place. Wouldn’t recommend if you are hungry! I would recommend for a cool spot with drinks!
