An excellent place for a few high end drinks. Excellent liquor selection with a few beers, so something for everyone. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and are will to be creative should you see a spirit you like on the shelf that isn’t on the menu.

This place has awesome cocktails. It’s a “hole in the wall” but not in a dive bar sense, as it has a high quality bar and furnishings. My only complaint is that they don’t clear the tables of previous guests very well, but it’s not a big enough deal to take away from the place. It’s a fun place to hang out and the drinks are special.

Edit (2026) – PLEASE BRING BACK GOODBYE EARL WITH THE EARL GREY AND FROTHY GOODNESS OR PUBLISH IT IN A BOOK I CAN BUY THANK U XOXO
Wonderful experience. The speak easy is really cool and the door is unsuspecting. The drinks were great. I will go back.

New favorite drink is the “Goodbye Earl”. It’s seasonal, but I kind of hope they keep it around. It’s the drink in the front of my picture.

Really wanted this place to awesome and we were so excited to go here on date night. To preface we did go during spring break, so maybe their normal staff were out on vacation. The location is super cool with a very discrete access through a false cooler door. The actual speak easy is very nice and had good seating options. Unfortunately, that’s when things went down… the lighting in there was surprisingly bright. There was no waiter/waitress, but the bartender didn’t tell us that while we walked in. Eventually we walked up to the bar and ordered our drinks from the bartender. The drink prices were very fairly priced with a good selection. It took a VERY long time for the bartender to make our drinks despite the speak easy not being very busy. Once we got the drinks they were mediocre at best on not overly complicated cocktails. Hoping that this experience was a fluke due to Spring Break as really excited to see cool establishments popping up in Ames.

This is such a fun, hidden gem in Ames. The drinks were great and the staff were very kind. Even on a busy night, you don’t have to wait that long for your drinks to be made since the bartender are exceptionally skilled and quick. Make sure to get there a bit early though on the weekend if you want a place to sit for a while.

Great assortment of tasty bourbon.
Atmosphere is of a speakeasy’s as entrance is though back room cooler doors. Who would have known of the secret place behind the door.

I had never even heard of this place. How cool is it to have a speakeasy behind a liquor store?
The decor and whole ambiance about the place was so awesome!!
I went here with a group of people celebrating a 10 week challenge.
It would be awesome to go back again!

Great drinks and a great atmosphere! I bring all my friends here. One of the best bars in Ames. If you have the money go for one of the ‘smoked’ options. It’s quite the experience and is very tasty.

Balance. The right amount of exclusive without pretentious. The right amount of quality without being too expensive. The right amount of craft without being gimmicky. Great drinks off the menu and perfect bartenders choice. Made my evening and I left with new ideas to try at home. Perfect balance. Thank you.
