    We got there a bit early so they told us we could wait at the restaurant in front, El Barrio. At the restaurant, we just got some chips and guac, and the restaurant coordinated with the bar to let them know we were there. When our reservation time came up, someone from the speakeasy came to get us at the restaurant, so we appreciate the coordination. While we did not order any food at the speakeasy, the 2 drinks we got were pretty good. We thought the music playing did not match the vibes of the speakeasy--they were playing RnB and rap music, but it didn't feel like it matched the interior vibes. The music was also a little too loud for us, where we had to raise our voices quite a bit. Overall though, we don't regret visiting.

    Authentically Tokyo given its small space off an alley in an old building. They do serve some small food portions, but they are mainly a whiskey bar. Not cheap, but worth the experience.

    Great place. Took too long for the bartenders to serve us. Food nothing special. Small portion for the cost. Drinks were amazing Not happy that there is only a 90 min stay, especially when you have only just received your second drink 10 mins before time is up, so could not really enjoy it.. probably won’t come back.. spent a lot of money there

    You’re coming here for the drinks and the experience of watching the craft. Each drink is so well balanced and the presentation is outstanding.

    Such a tiny yet really fun venue. Fantastic drinks and food. A real speak-easy where you push a button to get in and wait for them to open the door. So cool!!
