51st Street Speakeasy

Great bar! Speakeasy however might be a stretch. I was there on Halloween week so maybe it's more Speakeasy-ish at other times. But it was full of younger crowd in costumes and the had a DJ playing techno.... Not exactly speakeasy staples.... But drinks were good and the staff was friendly enough. I'd go back again!

Oof. I didn't like this place. "Speakeasy" is a tad misleading, imo. This isn't a speakeasy. I did enjoy the outside patio. It has nice tables and lights but ... i mean I came here for a speakeasy not a patio.

Met my bestie here for drinks. The parking lot and entrance are in the back but we were there super early so we had good parking. The vibe inside was nice. It's a converted house it seems and there's multiple levels and nooks and crannies. There's also a multi level patio. We were greeted promptly and the bartender recommended a vodka based drink. We ordered and I ordered food and we went outside to eat. The food came promptly. The zucchini fries were great but I asked for the wings to be dry and they had no seasoning. They were cooked good but the flavor must have been in the sauce. We stayed on the patio all night and people watched and it was nice. The place was packed when we left. The only bad thing is there's no entrance sign/directions on the front of the building so we spent the entire night telling people the entrance was in the back when they tried to open the front door.

One of the best local spots for music and entertainment! It's fun to wander around and find little details too!

This place is always a great time. Plenty of patio space, a bookshelf door to another bar and dance floor upstairs, plenty of bathrooms, and they host live, local music. Every band I've seen play here has been phenomenal. They have every drink you can imagine- from domestic to local craft beers, mixed drinks, all the way up to special bourbons, like Blantons. There are pool tables upstairs, and very nice furniture and tables upstairs as well. Very heavy, secluded lounge type vibes upstairs. You will not be disappointed by visiting the 51st Street Speakeasy at all. They also have food here, but I have not had the pleasure of trying any of it yet! That's the only reason I gave 4 s

Highly recommend for the special theme nights. They have burlesque, jazz, and more.We came for a super fun hot date and to see some friends perform.We got lucky and hit $5 burger night and they were delish! Also loved the homemade chips!!!We don't drink alcohol and were still able to have an amazing time!

This is always Top 10 for an office party or gathering after work. The Buffalo Wings are the real thing and they serve with bleu cheese. The tap beer list is very rich considering this is not a huge venue.

Good place for some live music, very dark inside but matches the vibe, has a cool, hidden club upstairs & bartenders were nice

Everything about 51st is pretty cool. The bands, bartenders, ambiance, all great. However, the owner ruined my experience and I won't go back. The third floor is apparently smoke friendly, with ashtrays all over and folks smoking cigarettes. When I saw this, I asked all the patrons in the area if they minded me lighting a joint. Ubiquitously, they didn't mind. About 10 minutes late the owner comes up to say we can't smoke that. We apologize and immediately put it out. He proceeds to come back and berate us about why we would come into "his house" and do this, calling us uncool, etc. being incredibly rude, standing over us and reprimanded nonstop. We explained that we simply didn't know it wasn't allowed since the other patrons were smoking cigarettes and there were ashtrays everywhere. I told him I ran it by others but we were sorry and didn't realize. I suggested that maybe a sign distinguishing this would be a good idea but he told me I shouldn't need a sign, I should just know to be a cooler person. He would not leave our area or stop lecturing us. I don't mind the rule AT ALL but I do mind being treating like a child and talked down to over and over regardless of being sincerely apologetic and immediately compliant. He's a total jerk and I'll never go back.

Cool Bar but incredibly rude owner. He seemed to be sloppy drunk and tell people to get out without any explanation. Sad to see an owner cripple his own business. I will definitely not be going back.
