We had heard about this hidden gem from a few friends and found the number to text for reservations. We decided to arrive on a Friday at 6pm for cocktails. We provided the password at the door and were granted entry into a cool and cozy little lounge, lit dimly with a fun mix of music from various decades. Our group of four sat together and enjoyed a few rounds of craft cocktails, all of which were delicious. Frankie, the bartender, made incredible drinks and was very welcoming to us in this speakeasy in the heart of Alamo Heights. We also sampled the corn dog shrimp, skewered shrimp coated in corn dog batter, fried, and served with a honey mustard. These were very tasty, especially if you are a corn dog fan, and that I am. We’ll be definitely making a return here on another evening to enjoy more of the hospitality and hand-crafted cocktails.

Call before to make a reservation and have a password to get in. We went as a recommendation from my sister in law. We went on a spur the moment thing. When we arrived, I asked her what the password was. I'd never been, but it's advertised as a speakeasy, so I figured there was a password. It is located behind the Barn Door, and there was no sign. She replied, "We don't need a password." I quickly responded with, "I bet there's a password, that's iconic speakeasy!" She brushed ke off as we continued to walk to the door. Someone else in front of us was approaching the door before us and knocked. "What's the password?" someone on the other side of the door said. "I told you there was a password!" It was a funny experience. The guy in front of us had the password, my sister in law tried to copy his password and got denied. The staff then let us in for a 2 hour limit as no one had a reservation till 2 hours later. They were very cool. The waiter bought us a complimentary drink of the night and it was tasty. They catered to us and their drinks are strong. We also had the quail pops and pretzel right before we left. Everything was good and there's something for everyone.

- Must make a reservation before . Welcoming atmosphere . This felt more like a speakeasy than other locations I have been to in SA - Given a small complimentary cocktail. - - They do have more bitter than sweet cocktails which I <3 because the minimal headache after - Would recommend

You're only allowed to visit if you reserve and get a confirmed password. Hidden behind Barn Door, opened only certain days out of the week, and only allowed 2 hours to enjoy. As you walk inside, you are greeted with a huge smile and a sampled glass of their featured cocktail. The bartenders are highly knowledgeable, and for the most part, their syrup mixers are made from scratch. That's impressive! The ambiance is quiet and intimate. Perfect for a date night. I highly recommend to experience it for yourself at least once.

Such a lovely little place. We loved our time here. The waiter/bartender was just fabulous. He was so kind and provided a complimentary cocktail upon arrival. We had the German pretzel and a couple of the drinks from their cocktail menu. My boyfriend even pointed out how great of timing the waiter had when taking orders, greeting guests, and such. This was a wonderful experience!!

This place is a nice take on the concept of a speakeasy. It has a very low profile entrance through the back that's unmarked. To get in you have to have an invitation between password that they request at the door. Once inside it's a cozy friendly environment with spectacular cocktails and knowledgeable bartender. They have a small selection of appetizers you can order. Hopefully down the line they will expand on the offerings since this is attached to a popular full-service restaurant. What's fun is that the bar is completely associated with the restaurant, so customers of the restaurant don't know there's even a bar, and cannot access the bar from the restaurant. Another interesting point is there's two big glass windows in the bar on the common wall with the restaurant. If you're in the bar, you can look into the restaurant, but if you're in the restaurant all you see are mirrors. You can't look into the bar or even know that it exists. It's a lot of fun, and even has a secret entrance into the restroom!

The dopest spot for a good cocktail and a first date. Chill vibes. Craft cocktails. 10/10 would recommend. Make a reservation and enjoy fantastic cocktails. Parker is the guy! “Hole in a cup” is what you should order. 🔥❤️❤️

Perfect place to bring a date or friends….clean, comfortable, and not too loud or crowded. Drinks are amazing, order off the menu or ask the bartenders to make you something based on your favorite spirit. Open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, reservation only. Just visit their website and click on the Reservations button, available dates and time slots will pop up. Located on the side of The Barn Door Steakhouse, look for the green light.

Such a wonderful speakeasy! Drinks were so well made. The ones we had were super well balanced and easy to drink, but the bartenders were the best part. They listened to our preferences and recommended things off the menu. I can't even say which drinks were good - just let them know what drinks you do/don't like and they'll work up some magic! They only had 3 appetizers when we went and 2/3 were amazing. Our favorite was by far the German pretzel - it was so warm and fluffy. It was sooooo soft and perfectly delicious on its own. It came with mustard but we aren't big mustard fans so we skipped that. The shrimp corn dogs were so unexpected as well - the shrimp on the inside was huge and juicy and the corn dog breading was so thick. The quail knots were ok - they were a little dry for us but still fun bite sized food The service was great and honestly, we had a great time here. There was only space for ~7 parties and it was a relatively small, but not cramped space. It wasn't loud, very relaxed and I didn't feel rushed at all. The kitchen does close at 9, so make sure you order your snacks before then!

Fantastic speakeasy with the best New York Sour I’ve ever had! 😋👌🏽 truly hidden and has an enjoyable sexy ambiance for a date night or more intimate gathering with close friends. ✨

This speakeasy has some of the best cocktails in the entire United States. The drinks we got here were super well balanced, smooth, and had incredible flavor. The given menu is nice and succinct - serves as a good guideline for ordering off menu items that the bartenders can recommend and tailor to your liking! The ambiance is very nicely quiet here, with lots of cool, subtle decorations. I would very highly recommend this establishment!

I hesitated, selfishly, to leave a review, because I do not want the reservations to get booked up. But, I can’t keep this precious gem all to myself. Drinks: creative, methodically clever with ingredients, fun and wondrous to the tastebuds. Service: attentive, sense of humor, very formative, and polite…when you go over your reservation time and move you to the bar to enjoy imbibe a little longer. Atmosphere: from the first knock to the last sip they have set you up to take you back in time with booze were a no-no. You will be seated in your own little area which gives a sense of speakeasy ambience and privacy. The vibe pairs likes grandma’s 60’s/70’s eclectic decor with alluring textures. All you’ll want to do is shimmy up closer to your company. You will leave and put this place on repeat. The guilt has be lifted off my shoulders. Cheers, friends.

10/10, such a cool place, awesome vibes and the bartenders are helpful and polite! You’ll definitely want to go back. If you’re thinking of going this is your sign to book!

This place is such a hidden gem! Incredible cocktails and a genuine speakeasy feel. Parker really put the experience over the top with his knowledge and passion for his job. Highly recommend giving this place a try, you won’t regret it!

Great hidden gem. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Delicious food and cocktails. Even better service.

They were very accommodating by allowing us to make a last-minute reservation and order appetizers despite the kitchen closing at 9 p.m. Which was 5 minutes after we arrived. The ambiance, specialty drinks, and appetizers were all amazing! Whether you are on a first date or just want a chill place to hang out with a few friends this speakeasy is the perfect setting. We will return and take the family.

This speakeasy was so great, not to small, perfect really gives you a very comfortable vibe, there drinks were amazing and there small food menu was very good to, we will be coming back.

Super awesome atmosphere and being a speakeasy with a password makes it even more fun. They gave us a small complimentary cocktail which was really nice. If you want to have a quiet and relaxed atmosphere this is your place!
