The Speakeasy

Super cool place with high quality craft cocktails and friendly professional staff. Great experience.

Such an awesome experience and what a great drink! So unique! Can't wait to go back! The library is fascinating!

In late January my wife and I went to a company dinner at Speakeasy. We both ordered Makers on the rocks. The Barkeep says "no", that shots where not served. I explained no shot just 2 Markers and ice. She said, "no" that was not permitted by the owners! So, I quickly thought to test this by ordering an Extra Dry Martini on the rocks hold the Vermouth. She proceeded to reach for the Grey Goose, all was well with my Martini and a glass, some ice and just Grey Goose, oh my I had Vodka on the rocks. So to future dinners that like a glass of Bourbon with their dinner may I suggest simply order " Bourbon Martini on the rocks hold the Vermouth". The problem is cookie cutter management and owners that maybe do not recognize that this is the heart of Bourbon Country. I'm very proud of Kentucky's success with Bourbon and I wish the owners where too. To inform readers I'm 64 years old my wife is a very young 62. We were not out shooting Tequila nor dancing on the bar with a bottle of Goldschlager! It's about training employees. Teaching the difference between Tequila shooting crowd and a couple in their 60's simply wanting a Bourbon, a glass and some ice with their meal. May I suggest looking past the food ( if the food is not good than who cares about the other things) and having the ability to put yourself in the customers shoes. Details and training. My first review ever, sorry it was negative. Thought about my experience for weeks and came to the conclusion that I had to share.
