The drinks are fantastic here. Very well balanced. There is no convenient parking for this place due to its proximity to luigi’s. But if you can find street parking, it is worth stopping. It is very small inside space is limited and it becomes quite loud. But the drinks make up for it there is a good variety everyone will find something. I highly recommend the whisky sour.

Stopped in after a tattoo appointment for some quick bevs. Got the Painkilla, an Old Fashioned, a Carrot Cake Martini, and a Jallisco Dole Whip. I thought we were going to have to order up at the bar, but a server came to the couch we were sitting. The drinks were very good, hand crafted, and we couldn’t taste the booze in them. The decor was very classy and pulling the Cracker Jack box to get in through the news stand was great. It was also great getting to watch people struggle to get in through the CCTV feed. haha

I absolutely love Northside Speakeasy! The drinks are top-notch, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out. My favorite day to visit is Martini Monday. They offer amazing martinis at a great discount! Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a cozy, hidden gem, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend

This place is truly a gem! Wide variety of cocktails to suit anyone, all expertly crafted. Travis B, was our main bartender and he was so attentive and professional, even as the evening got busy. Definitely my new favorite bar! Thanks again for a great evening

This place checks all the boxes of a speakeasy. Loved the vibe and their drinks. I liked how this place is so cozy and gives you the perfect atmosphere to get drunk…haha. Music is not too loud so it is easy to have a conversation too. I liked how they have table seating as well and they come up to you to take your order and serve your drinks. Another good thing is you can get any drink made non alcoholic and they are happy to do that. Would definitely go back here again and try their flatbreads.

If you are in the area you don’t want to miss this bar! Enter streetside and see if you can find your way in! The bartenders are great with suggestions and make a great cocktail. We enjoyed an Aviation cocktail, 4 roses bourbon, French 75 and Boulevardier. We would order all again!

Love the entrance door from the Marriott hotel. The old fashion was one of the best drinks I have had and the priciest too.
The atmosphere was great. It’s not a very large place, so seating is hard to find. We ended up getting several drinks and took them to our room.

A fantastic little place, intimate and nicely decorated. Visited for the first time last night, and thankfully had a guide, as you need to be a little clever and inquisitive to get in! After entering the exterior door, one is faced with a small lobby and this closed newsstand front. Inside is swanky and private, with exposed brick and gorgeous tin ceilings, which really goes a long way to whisking one back in time to a covert prohibition-era night out among friends. Bartenders were fast, friendly and knowledgeable; drink list is vast and varied, pictured below. Definitely going back again soon!
