The Hidden Tiger

Old memories, new memories, whiskey everywhere.This speakeasy is hidden behind a cafe, and is worth a visit. The vibe is top notch, the music slaps, and there's plenty of alcohol behind the bar to keep your liver busy."Live fat" is their motto and I can get behind that.

Went here early on a Saturday night, so it wasn't too packed, but started to fill up in some time. I tried the Fat Buddha that I liked a lot. It was smooth and fruity and the foam was really something else. I also tried the soy buns and liked those too. I was very interested in trying their ask-the-mixologist for a specific drink and tried requesting one with some flavors I wanted, but I didn't have a great experience with our server. First he didn't understand what I wanted, when I tried again and specified exactly what I wanted, he forgot to tell the bartender and just didn't place my order for like 15-20 minutes. I had to follow up to remind him but ultimately ended up cancelling the drink to leave. The host was really sweet, but I didn't like our server. He was not super friendly and the fact that he forgot to order my drink wasn't appreciated. I'll still rate this well because I really liked the vibe of the place and the one drink I had.

Came here on a Saturday night and was overall disappointed. The menu says "let us know if you hear mainstream pop music". The listed vibes is hip hop. The entire time we were there we heard ONLY mainstream pop music. The DJ played Justin Timberlake and that one song that goes tonight we are young. Very odd considering the various hip hop references in their cocktails. Also, I tried the premo, infamous and the fat Buddha and the fat Buddha was the only good drink. Infamous was.... Really not good. Premo was kinda bland, no real flavor that made you feel anything. Honestly I don't usually bother with reviews but the music was unforgivable. Service was okay? Bartender were nice but I didn't get to see an itemized bill before paying, and I almost double paid for 2 drinks except my friend remembered and reminded them that those 2 were supposed to be on his tab and not both of ours. Wasn't even that busy/crowded

My friend and I came here on a whim the other night as the original place we wanted to go to was closed. You enter the speakeasy through Cafe Joah and it's super cute with a disco ball cat, great music and nice comfortable plus seating alongside a decently sized bar. They had a great drink menu and a smaller but excellent food menu (along with several vegan/vegetarian dishes) which was lovely. For drinks we ordered the fat Buddha and the macho libre and both were excellent. For food, we ordered the soy bao buns, which we really enjoyed and had great flavor. We also ordered the kimchi rice ball, which was large enough to share and the shishito peppers. The service was very good as it wasn't too crowded. I would definitely come back here again if in the area!

Came here for work holiday gathering so my review is based on that. This place is hidden but once you passed the initial door, its a new world. The front entrance looks like a bland cafe of some sort, but there was no there to direct me through. It was a nice bar area with several tables. For our event, the place was packed. Very dark, Asian-related decorations. Had the Macho Libre drink and it was really good. Had wings, vegetables, rice for the event and everything was good.

I think this place has yet to be fully discovered as we went in on a Saturday night at 6pm and it was rather empty. I think they've done a great job curating and ambiance and many of the drinks on the menu are enticing. They have a solid espresso martini, a little on the creamy/ sweeter side. The lychee drink was both fun and scrumptious. They have couch space, small tables and bar seating. Will be back for a cocktail!

Fun cocktails and yummy appetizers it's a fun place to catch up with friends OR for a date the chicken wings were delicious

Actually one of the coolest speakeasy spots in the city. From the moment I stepped inside, the music was a vibe. The service was accommodating and friendly, which is always appreciated.The drinks were flowing just right, got an espresso martini and can't wait to go back and try more.

I was with a large group and we were looking for a place to have drinks before our dinner reservation. We looked for speakeasies on Yelp and it turns out The Hidden Tiger is sort of one. The front entrance is a coffee shop, which has a back door that leads to the Hidden Tiger. The back door was wide open, so it took away from the secretive speakeasy effect. But I understand because it's actually a regular restaurant too. The vibe in here is cool and unique. It has a dark, mysterious, tiger and lucky cat theme throughout. It's the perfect ambiance for date night. It appeared they also allow groups to reserve the space for parties, because there was an engagement party setting up. Since my group was only here for drinks, we sat at the bar area. There's a couch in the back corner that we occupied too. Many of us ordered The Fat Buddha, which is their lychee martini. Look no further and just order this one!! The drink was topped with a cloud like foam. It kept spilling down the sides and my hands were getting sticky, but it was all worth it and they have a bathroom where you can wash your hands. That martini went down so smoothly and I was inspired to try making it at home. There were some fizzy drinks on one of the pages which had a gochujang flavored drink. They weren't serving the fizzy drinks at the time but I would have loved to try that one. This place has some history to it. Don't quote me but I think it used to be a club. Anyways, I would come back here to have more drinks and to try the food!

Obsessed with the hip-hop vibes of this speakeasy! We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. Lucky for me it was happy hour and I got an $8 lychee martini. Our bartender was adorable and gave us suggestions on what to order.We listened to music and vibed. Unfortunately we had another engagement after that but we would have def. Stayed longer and hung out! A very cool speakeasy I would come back for sure.
