Speakeasy

601 N State St

Fun, friendly, and television-themed.

I really liked it here. It felt super comfortable, not like a high-pressure bar at all. I felt like I didn't need to know anything, or pretend to be anybody - if that makes sense.

It was very well decorated - gorgeous, relaxed. It looks like a living room (but the living room of someone really cool) - it reminds me a little of the Bodega Bar at the Berkshire Room.

They've got fabulous drinks and they switch up their cocktails every month to reflect a different popular television series - the first month I went after they opened, it was community, and they said next month would be Sex and the City!

The bartenders were exceptionally cool and friendly - I had a conversation with them about what their theme was going to be next month, and they started talking excitedly about their plans for the drinks. They were genuinely excited about their jobs and what they got to create, and that really made me feel at home.

They give you your check in an old style CD case for home movies (you don’t get to keep it) but it’s a great addition to the vibe as a whole. :)

I absolutely recommend it, and since their menu changes every month or so, there's always going to be more to come back to! I'm excited for the next time I go.

P.S. I went back for their Sex and the City theme and the drinks were so fun. I believe their next theme is going to be The Good Place. I'm super excited for that one.
