Built in 1920, this two story was originally Henry L. Beck’s dry good store. On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment of January 16, 1919, ending the increasingly unpopular nationwide prohibition of alcohol. In 1934, it became Old Dutch Tavern and the 2nd floor was rented as an apartment. In the 1950’s it was Joe’s Tavern until 1956 when Otto Froelich took over and it became Froelich’s Tavern. In the 1960’s it changed hands again and became Weisenbach’s Tavern until sometime in the late 1970’s when it changed to G & G Tavern. In the 1980’s, it was renamed the Shelby Street Saloon. The upstairs remained empty until May 2021 when it was converted to a Speakeasy.

I have to give Buzz and Mel 5 stars. The chicken dinner was so freaking delicious, the servings are for us big eaters. The fried chicken livers are also fire. I like their establishment, it’s friendly and inviting. Only thing I’d like to see is, they get Jim Beam Redstag in. They have every other flavor but, Redstag. So glad I stopped in to try your food, certainly impressed and not at all disappointed. I look forward to the next time, you have won my business.

We hosted our work group’s holiday party at the Speakeasy tonight. I can’t say enough good things. This place is a hidden gem. So unique and fun. Beautiful decor, excellent food and drinks, amazing service and ample room for everyone yet feels quaint and cozy. Dawn made the booking and food order process easy and once I was there I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They took care of everything. Book your party here, you won’t regret it.

Food isn’t the best here, but the atmosphere and service makes it 5 stars. We booked the upstairs for a party of around 20 people and it got a little cramped when everyone was together, but was still a good time. My pregnant wife went to get a drink for me and the bartender made it virgin without saying a word. That’s called taking care of your guests. We missed some live music downstairs that sounded really good. I’d say the biggest downfall of this place is the space, it’s definitely hard to get around with a full house.

The people are rude everyone knows everyone’s business they have roaches they were rude to my parents. They’ve called the cops on me and they are all disrespectful. It is not a place for family and friends to go and hang out worst bar I’ve ever been to in my life

The speak easy is very nice and although it is upstairs they have thought of everything to make sure you only go up the stairs once and then down when you leave with hand rails on both sides for those who really enjoy themselves. They have an balcony for smokers that is really nice and great for all. The Outlaw burger is the best I have had in a restaurant. The staff was great . I loved the atmosphere they have created.
