Very classy and traditional speakeasy vibe. As you'd expect, a very deep alcohol selection. Service was excellent, lots of fun after dinner!

What a hidden gem in Davis square for your next date night! Loved the dim lights inside with leather couches and a bar. The vibes are on point!I was here for a birthday dinner. We started with a bunch of apps: truffle fries, meatballs, and oysters. We then finished off with mussels. We got a couple cocktails as well. Since it was a birthday dinner, we got dessert and they even added a candle to it. Everything we ate was top notch! Overall it's an elevated experience, definitely adding it to my special occasion list.

Ambiance 5/5Came here with my girlfriend on a Friday night and made a reservation the evening beforehand. It gives off a speakeasy vibe and is quite easy to miss if you're walking down elm. It's nestled between The Goods and The Burren. The inside is warm, dim, and cozy. Great tunes playing in the background. The space is quite large for what it is. We were pleasantly surprised how much space there was between tables and other patrons that were there. Service 5/5The bouncer, hostess, and servers were all very friendly. Food and drinks came out quite fast!Food & Drinks 5/5My girlfriend ordered the fluffy ted, which was delicious. If espresso martinis are your thing and you like peanut butter flavor, definitely give it a try. It's a nice twist on a classic. I ordered the two time, which was quite refreshing and well balanced. Food was delicious and would get everything we ordered again.Overall 5/5 and will definitely be back!

I love Saloon! Speakeasy feel, great food, and cocktails. Service was super attentive and helpful! My partner and I enjoyed the truffled mushroom toast, roasted octopus, and a burger. Everything was delectable. Parking can be tough in the area. I would definitely make reservations in advance.

Perfect little happy hour spot - no signage at the entrance though (similar to a prohibition style saloon) so keep that in mind if you're visiting for the first time ;) The bites were delicious - we shared 4 items between 3 of us! Everything was fresh and flavorful. On Saturdays there's a $2 oyster special from 5-6 and we most certainly took part in that. Service was good at the bar! Highly recommended if you're a foodie looking for a unique hip spot in Davis square.

Nice ambiance, it's fun to be in an underground bar. Honestly most things were a little overpriced, but the desserts were nice.

I loved the speakeasy vibes here and our waiter was wonderful. The drinks were good, but the one that I would get over and over again is the Harvey Baker (if you're into fruity and easy to drink drinks), the Lone Ranger is good if you like mezcal! I thought the food was decent- the mussels and charcuterie board are notable mentions, but I would not recommend the beef tartare. It tasted funky and was probably the worst beef tartare I've ever had. The mussels were in a red curry coconut broth and it was probably the best thing we got.Bottom line is, I wouldn't come here just for the food, but this is a good spot for drinks.
