Speakeasy

Green Point & Eagle Rock

A modern-day speakeasy is a hidden establishment that legally sells alcoholic beverages. Usually people will find out about the place by word of mouth. I guess the setting is suppose to be quiet and dim lights to create intimacy between you and your guest(s). There are rules that come across most hidden bars and speakeasies such as no talking loud, no gum chewing, silent phones, Do Not ask for specific drinks, know your palate so you can ask for what cocktail you desire, etc. Usually you are told these rules before walking inside. 

This fine establishment here, have highly skilled bartenders that are ready to serve you. They will question what you like and will strive to create the perfect mix for you. I recommend giving an accurate description of what you want just so it makes things much smoother. There are fresh ingredients right on the bar for mixing purposes such as fruit, hot sauces, liquids, etc. The staff is completely professional and will make your experience worth while. Questions will be answered. This isn't a typical bar, club, pub.. no no this establishment is more of an organized meeting type place with fine drinks that are only specific. It's also a laid back feel rather than an upright 6-star bar. I recommend trying the Green-point old fashioned. It has bitters and a hint of some sweetness honey to the taste. A slice of freshly peeled lemon is dashed inside too! Great choice here. 

So here is my word. Go visit the place below this...
