  This place is a must see if you love authentic and historical places to visit. A true speakeasy feel. The cocktails were very yummy. Very small place, dimly lit and is truly an exciting experience. We got to see two acts. The first one was a juggler and the second a burlesque dancer. Highly recommend.
