Go to P.S. 1931 Speakeasy and ask for Berkley, you won’t be disappointed! The venue is amazing and so is Matt the mixologist!

This place has a great vibe. My daughter got married in the downtown area, and many of the wedding party and guests were staying at Hotel Phillips. They were able to accommodate a fairly large group, which was the perfect ending to the perfect night. And so convenient. The staff was friendly, and mixed great cocktails. I highly recommend this spot!

The area itself was nice, and lowkey. It gave lowkey vibes and was nice and had intimate seating. The drinks were strong, yet a little over priced. The down fall for us was the service. We were seated quickly but waited nearly 10-15 minutes before our waitress actually came to our table. Our order was taken and about 10 minutes later our drinks arrived to our table. Our waitress was not really present all that much. We had finished our drinks and were waiting for our waitress to return so we could close out our tab but was gone for some time. The speakeasy has potential. Maybe we just had bad luck this time.

This speakeasy definitely nails the atmosphere—beautiful design, dim lighting, and an overall relaxing vibe that sets the right tone for a night out. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive first impression.
That said, the drinks were a letdown. For a place that positions itself as a speakeasy, you expect cocktails to be a standout, but unfortunately, they were far from it. Unbalanced, flat, and just lacking the finesse you’d hope for from a cocktail-focused spot.
It’s a nice place to sit and enjoy the ambiance, but if you’re going for the drinks, especially with speakeasy-level expectations, you might walk away disappointed.

Small space but perfect for groups of 1-5! My husband and I came for just a couple of drinks and it was great. You sit and wait in a small room to get brought in (depending on space they have inside). We were lucky to not have to wait long. Their menu is small but can make any cocktail you prefer to your tastes. Music was a little on the loud side for a Thursday but nothing to make you leave.

I’m so confused about this place. It’s almost as if they don’t want business. We went into the hotel and there was no sign or info on HOW to get to the bar. We went through several hallways and doors and could not find it. We finally went to the hotel check-in desk and the receptionist asked if we had a reset and we said no. She said they don’t walk-ins before 9pm. We asked how to get there and she said you take the elevator and press LL. We never thought that as above each elevator it has arrows only going up AND it reads above each door ‘this car up’. When we got down to the lower level it was very hot and humid. Down a few stairs and there was the entry BUT off to the side it had a sign in a small table that said something about ‘sorry for the inconvenience but we only take reservations…’ But someone in our party of 6 went in to ask if there was a space/table available, just in case. Well, there was, and more! Only half the establishment was full. Imagine turning away any possible business! And as the night progressed there were even less people. I feel so bad for the bartender and servers. They could have made so much more money, and so could the business! The place was super cool and the menu was great. I’m just so confused about this business plan.

Not to be a hater…your drink menu is for suckers and their corporate card.
I was researching places and was immediately turned away with your misleading drunk names and ingredients. Nice digs though….i am sure the tile was expensive

This is not a true speakeasy. It was very confusing to get to, in the downstairs of a hotel but it’s all reservations. So you would have to know about it to even go to it. They won’t serve you unless you have a reservation. There is no bar space or random spaces for walk in.
Looks cool, if you knew you needed reservations. I have been to many speakeasy’s and have never heard of reservations.. how are you to make a reservation at a place your not to know about??

We stayed here for a weekend and the hotel portion was fantastic! One of the main reasons why we opted for the Hotel Philips was because of the P.S. Speakeasy! The promotional materials was exciting and impressive. Unfortunately, the venue and staff were subpar for the theme that the hotel presents. It was busy, but the staff appeared overwhelmed and were most comfortable behind the bar. We waited over 30 minutes for a server and when no one came by , we walked up to the bar to place an order and were instructed by the manager to go back to our table and that they would come to the table to take our order. Another 10 minutes passed and we were finally able to make that order. The entertainment was fantastic and this jazz ensemble was exactly what we wanted to listen to. Nice music, great energy from the crowd and entertainers, refined art deco theme of the hotel….and your drinks are slugged out to you by hand because the servers don’t use trays. Memories of a college dive bar with sticky floors! The server spilled half of my beer on the floor and the chair and didn’t even have a napkin. We had to flag down the server several more times to replenish our drinks. When it came time to settle our tab, the waitress wasn’t quite sure of the number of drinks we ordered and we suggested that she just count the number of glasses on our table because no one came by to bus our table the entire evening! Lol! We certainly didn’t mind that we were paying $15 a drink, but we were extremely disappointed that it took so long to get any service, there was little to no follow up to see if we needed any more drinks or at least bus the tables. Train the staff to serve drinks with a beverage tray and not grip the glasses from the rim. We highly recommend the hotel and don’t recommend this bar unless you want to be disappointed. Don’t come here thirsty!
