I went here with a friend for the first time, and both of us absolutely fell in love with it.

You walk into what looks like a simple little record shop, and walk in the back towards the "Listening Booth", to see a beautifully lit, eccentrically decorated record-themed speakeasy.

The bartender was wonderful, the drinks (I had the Lonesome Cowboy) were delicious, and the ambiance was exactly what I'm looking for in a hidden bar.

We went on a Sunday night, shortly after Dorian's opened, and it was just the right amount of busy. A few chairs were full, people were conversing, but you could tell it the spot was much more popular during Friday and Saturday nights.

I'll be back here often - and there are even a few other speakeasies right in the same block radius. The Revel Room (which made into our honorable mentions list) and The Violet Hour.

My friend and I stopped into all three that Sunday, and we both agreed that Dorian's was our favorite. (Although the Violet Hour is also fabulous.)

According to their site, they have live performances and record DJs regularly, so if you're into music, this is a great spot.
