This is a proper speakeasy but you can avoid the uncertainty of whether you can get in or not by making a reservation in advance.

While the concept of an online reservation takes a bit away from the experience - isn't the whole speakeasy allure all about the approach to the unmarked door, quiet negotiations with the bouncer, and then the mandatory look up and down by the maitre d' after all? - when you step beyond the metal doors and into the long corridor that opens up to a warm, glam, bygone era, you will find yourself relaxed, not tense.

It's a civilised place where you can go with a friend, a loved one, or a group of friends and lounge and enjoy the excellent cocktails and each others' conversations.

And if you are into girl power like me, you will love that the maitre d', bartender, and servers are all women.
