It ain’t on the map, but locals know—behind a dusty video shop in downtown Wallingford, a velvet curtain hides a true speakeasy. The Gilded Curtain is all candlelight, craft cocktails, and jazz that drips like honey through the air. Classic films line the walls, secrets cling to the booths, and live jazz sets the rhythm of long, smoky nights. It’s not just a bar—it’s a scene straight outta the silver screen.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. 2 of us did the cocktail option where the bartender makes up a drink for you and both were delicious, the 3rd drink which was lemony and vanilla flavors was incredible too.

We had such a nice and relaxing evening there. The drinks were amazing I had the vanilla vixen and my husband has the winter warmth both were so delicious we ordered them a couple more times. Tommy and Andrew gave excellent service we will definitely be going back

The Gilded Curtain is such a fun and unique experience. The entrance alone—hidden behind a retro video store—instantly brought back childhood nostalgia and set the tone for the night. Once inside, the bar has a cozy 1920s speakeasy vibe with low lighting and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We were greeted right away by the staff and seated at the bar, which made the experience feel intimate and personal. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and helped us choose drinks we absolutely loved. Tommy was especially engaging—his knowledge of history made for great conversation—while Andrew really impressed us with his deep understanding of cocktails and drink pairings.
My friends and I had an amazing time from start to finish and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend The Gilded Curtain for a memorable night out!

The staff and bartenders are very nice and it is a beautiful place to go for some drinks with friends. I was told the same person owns Bones & Botanicals. Both are fun places to try!

Last night was the first time I’ve been to the Gilded Curtain and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was great and to our pleasant surprise they even had live jazz musicians playing. Our server/bartender, Andrew, was fantastic. Huge shout out to him! He was attentive, knowledgable, and made outstanding drinks! He was thorough and took the time to make recommendations. He even told us about some upcoming events that will be happening, which we will definitely be back for. The Gilded Curtain is a unique and quaint space and we enjoyed our visit very much!
