"Kinda hard to find which is how it should be. I’m not telling you, it’s part of the fun. The vibe in here is rad. Super dark, nice light fixtures, live plant wall. Chill. Check. Food: Came for the shrimp. Yes they were huge but they were just OK. I find the cocktail sauce to be strangely sweet, and they also skimped out on the amount. They were also a tad rubbery as if they were frozen and thawed. Which they may be I mean, we are in AZ. The oysters may have been my least favorite that I’ve ever had. They were just, well, bleh. The mignonette needs a revamp. Wayyyyyy too many onions and way too tart. Also, give me all the goodies to slap on there. I like giving myself a zing from horseradish. Drinks: Strike #1. Heck, and #2 no hazy beers. I mean, they are literally all the rage everywhere you go and for good reason. At least carry the local legends Church Music or Spellbinder. But hey, we are at a speakeasy, so let’s get a drink. They have a drink that they unveil through smoke on a cake platter. Got my interest. It was an old fashioned which is my drink. The bartender rattled off the ingredients which sounded, well….. way overdone. I asked if it was sweet. Bartender said No, not really at all. I wasn’t buying it, so I asked if there was another old fashioned that was less sweet, more liquor forward. He said not really any less than that one. So I went for it. $25 later, it was the worst excuse of an old fashioned I’ve ever had. It just tasted like fake syrups mixed together. Yes insanely sweet. After I threw it back just to be done the bartender asked how it was. I said man, it was super sweet. He said sorry, that’s on me and walked away. Not as in he took care of it. Just admitted that he mislead me, but it didn’t feel very genuine. Also, know your drinks. We asked another bartender what was in the house white blend. She just said “I don’t know.” Fair, that’s not something you may know of the top of your head. But try being a good bartender and grabbing the bottle to see. It’s called service the industry you’re in. She preferred to flirt with the host from the corner of the bar and never checked back on us."
