This is an absolutely beautiful prohibition themed bar with live jazz and a fantastic atmosphere. We went upstairs after a concert in the main theater and was stunned at the amount of artifacts and wonderful decor. Our group had a couple of drinks in the speakeasy and everything exceeded our expectations. From the fantastic live performers, to everything in the bar, trust me when I say this is a must visit. The owner Ron did an amazing job with the theater & speakeasy and couldn’t have been more welcoming, he’s a great guy. We’re already planning to come back soon and are bringing more friends. We’ll definitely be back over and over again.

The venue needs an update, big time. The musicians were great! Unfortunately they would not serve drinks in glassware in what is supposed to be a “speak easy” atmosphere. There were no servers working the floor. Everyone had an empty plastic cup in front of them. Yikes! Get me out of here! Zero food program unless you consider stale popcorn and candy. I had money to spend and nothing to spend it on. Oh well.

$10 cover for 1 hour and half show with a break .
$50 for 2 old fashions . At the performance one song performed was put to a halt because the drummer said the beat was off. Upon going to bar to order , staff had to get bartender from dancing with patrons to order drinks. Bartender delivered to wrong table where other patrons began to drink our drinks. My date had to get up and inform the bartender she gave our drinks to someone else. Waited for bartender to re pour our drinks and deliver our drinks. Addressed my date with wrong name to confirm the “credit card” and waited for assurance of the “best old fashion”. It was not best old fashion with regular cubes and too sweet. The bartender asked about last call at 10:10 . She was incorrect with the closing time of the establishment.
I do not recommend this establishment for a traditional speak easy vibe. Decor comes off cheap and just simple bad customer service.
At 70+ for 2 drinks and a live performance.
I would return and very much enjoyed the location in St. Charles.

The concept is there but it misses the marks for the following reasons:
A true speak easy has a sit down bar, intimate seating with dim lighting and great drinks.
I’ve never been to a speak easy where drinks were served in a plastic cup and there was no cocktail menu. I dont go to speakeasies for a malibu pineapple but a hand crafted cocktail that the recipe was given thought and consideration to.
And truth be told, when someone tells me they can make a GREAT old-fashion and proceed to put a bunch of ice in a plastic cup followed by a ton of cherry syrup… I’m out.
Having a bookshelf hidden door as an entry doesn’t automatically make a place a speakeasy. This place is simply a bar with neat decorations and a stage- a live music bar really.

This place is nice for a quiet date night. We were here for a magic-comedy show and if it wasn’t so far from my house I would totally make this a more regular thing in my life. The food for this event is not much to choose from but what’s offered is good. Look at the website they have lots to offer so your more than bound to find something you’ll like.

Live Blues and Jazz music every Tuesday and Saturday. Nice venue. A little room for dancing in the rear of the venue.

Stopped by tonight. It specifically says on the website that you do not need a ticket to go to their establishment. Security turned us away because we didn’t have tickets. Someone should communicate no ticket necessary to the security workers. Very disappointing.

Saw a recent show at the theatre. They couldn’t make all old-fashioned, but the bartender was really nice and still poured a nice gin & tonic.
