Quintana's Speakeasy

This is a true speakeasy--small, intimate, and cleverly hidden behind a different business downstairs, adding to the charm. The drinks are fantastic, and they put real effort into making them unique, which sets them apart from a typical cocktail bar.The ambiance is spot on--quiet enough for a conversation but still lively with great music. Service is decent, though with the limited space, you might have to wait if you come on a busy weekend. That said, it's absolutely worth it for the experience. A hidden gem!

Quintana's definitely has speakeasy vibes because you have to be buzzed in from the back door (then go upstairs from the barber shop) and then find the right book to lift -- there will be a button to unlock the door (same thing to get out). Very cool design and nice speakeasy style decor, though a tad dark inside but that's probably the vibes. The bartender was very friendly and came to help us very quickly, and offered to make recommendations as well.They have a ton of lovely cocktails on the menu, and I wanted to try many of them, but I ended up getting the pink moon, which was refreshing and tasty (like the description says :D). We also got a charcuterie board to share, which was pretty big with two wedge slices of cheese, some bread, two rows of cured meats (interestingly cut as round slices instead of thin slices), some apricots and nuts over a tiny bit of salad. For two people, it was enough to fill us up as a medium meal. We didn't come on an event night, so it was fairly empty inside, only a few parties, but I saw a sign for events or music nights which I imagine would definitely draw a crowd. Their weekday HH is a 15% off deal so aim for that if you get the chance. Worth a visit, I enjoyed this speakeasy experience!

I've been here twice and both times were great experiences. The path to get inside is quirky and fun and the speakeasy itself is great. Excellent service, strong, delicious drinks, and the food was delicious as well!The ambiance is cozy and intimate, easy to stay for a couple hours and converse with your companions. I definitely plan on coming back again soon.

A very cool vibe for cocktails with a few friends. The drinks are well made and delicious with a good range of options. They have classic cocktails that are easily recognizable, but also some lovely original creations. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service is good. I sent my brother and sis in law who live in Los Angeles here over the Thanksgiving break and they said the same. I know they offer snacks and charcuterie, but I've only experienced the drinks on my visits so far.

Really liked this place! Small, quaint typical speakeasy vibe. Thank goodness for yelp reviews which gave some indication how to get inside this place. The entrance door is in the back. You'll first see a Barbershop. Go upstairs & you'll see several doors but look for the book case. The secret to getting in lies in opening the correct book. They also have a 3rd level where some folks can gather but I didn't go up there. The mixologist was very knowledgeable & able to make the menu drinks or whatever you describe. As a mezcal drinker, I enjoyed one that was on the menu (don't recall name) & also the old fashion. It was close to closing when we were there on a Wed night so it was pretty empty. Enjoyed the quiet, laid back vibe.Would definitely return again.

Such a cute little speakeasy, something hard to come by in Cleveland, and located conveniently in Cleveland Heights! I've come twice in the evening for drinks and it has super cozy, living room vibes. The drinks are on the pricier side but they are unique, cute, and delicious. The bartender was so friendly and helpful. Definitely an awesome spot for a date or to hang with friends. I won't spoil how to enter the bar as it's part of the fun, check it out for yourself!

If you're looking for a classy, unique, cozy and intimate vibe - this is your place. It's the perfect spot to bring a date and has a fun twist since you have to figure out how to get inside the bar (I won't ruin it for you!). The cocktails are phenomenal. Some light bites are served like bruschetta that are so good! The only downside is that it is such a small space that it can fill up quickly on busy nights like the weekend or event nights. So you'll either be stuck waiting or have a time limit or limited party size.

The drinks were great! I got the dancing dead, it was delicious & not overly sweet or boozy. Margarita esque but definitely tasted expensive. The howling for nothing had that nutty flavor; couldn't exactly taste the pistachio, but for someone who typically does not go for boozy drinks, I would definitely order again. The ambiance was super cozy & conversation inducing... I wish the kitchen/bar closed at the same time as listed online--I really wanted to try the shmear & the Chilean bruschetta! Great taking to the bartenders & they were very courteous... thank you for the bread & butter to snack on!

I felt a little awkward as a guy getting a pedicure, but needed work done on my feet. The ladies on the salon side were quite lovely and made it very comfortable for me. Anything you want done though you do want to make an appointment as this place is hopping! They do a good job and a lot of people know it.I really fell in love with the speakeasy barber side. Although I have been there to early for a drink! Lol. I sometimes like a shave on top of my head right down to the dome. This is a fun place to do it with great comfy chairs and a wonderful on point staff. Unless you are lucky right at 8, you probably want to make an appointment. But it will be worth it as they take care of more than just the hair on the head if need be like a barber shop of old and have a great assortment of products to have a gentleman looking his best. And come on now gents, we can do better to up our game to stand out with our ladies! Here is a good first step!

The barbershop receptionist led us up after my haircut (avoid the barbershop too!), and told us that there was a private event but "she won't kick you out". We sat at the bar, and within 20 seconds an employee came over hurriedly and snapped at us and the receptionist and said "I CAN'T TAKE THEM RIGHT NOW", so we were escorted out. The tone and attitude were the real problem, aside from being told we would be allowed in in the first place. There's a right way to handle the situation and say "I'm so sorry but we're at capacity".
