Another not so secret speakeasy? Yah, it's definitely not so secret when even Esquire's married with kids drinks columnist knows about it. But we love him (and no one knows a good drink like him) so we were happy to see him there alongside us. It does come with all the rules: no standing, make a reservation and what not. They say it's casual and if there's space no problem but that's not true. A respect for a time when men wore hats (porkpies and fedoras of course), drank orange bitters and listened to Old Blue Eyes is what they're going for. Smacked up with a whole lot of new age attitude courtesy of fake vintage t shirts and tunes from the New Romantics (aka wannabe New Wave.) So a tad wannabe all around but still one of the best of the New Age speakeasy and a breath of fresh air (or no air considering the room) from the mega clubs of the past. p.s. it's through the phone booth inside the hot dogs place.
