How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Fun & frugal speakeasy located near Union Station, everything is $5. Cash only but ATM is available for those in need. Tough to find unless you know where to go but that adds to the charm & overall experience. IDs are checked & scanned at the door.

Hidden gem. Literally hidden underneath rodizio grill. A vault door greets you and you enter if you dare. Beyond the eery stairs and the left door, you are greeted with an unassuming basement speakeasy style. Everything is 5$. Eclectic furniture and rustic decor lending to the feel of nostalgia. No charge for soda was a nice touch. They also have a few food options if your tummy ever rumbles. Easy to tall and easy to order drinks. Cash only but there is an atm. Bathrooms are through the emergency door.

Such a cute speakeasy. I am a huge fan of speakeasies and try to go to them whenever I can. This place has a cool vibe and everything is $5 - get it? Lincolns. The cocktails were good as well. Definitely a fun place to visit. Get cash before you go - especially 5s.

Had a private event here and it was fantastic. Super cool speakeasy vibe. Had some finger food but nothing spectacular there. We also had a private bar / drink menu so I can't speak much to how the cocktails are. The essence is the atmosphere and vibe. Parking can be a bit challenging, there is a semi-public parking garage around the corner. Good luck finding street parking.
