If this concept was in a big city it would be a hit but this is Old Town. We got there around midnight on a Friday and called the # and was told it would be 15-20 min and we should wait at the bottom of the stairs. I don't mind waiting but the bottom of the stairs is right next to the smelly dumpster that has been sitting in the 110 degree sun all day.
My friend got tired of the smell and moved up to the top landing only to be chased back down by the hostess when she went to let out another group of people.
After 20 min we finally get called and head upstairs. The cocktail list is AMAZING but be prepared to wait, our first round of 3 drinks took 15 min to get. The place wasn't busy at all. It seats 30 but there were maybe 12 people there. They also have a separate late night menu than the one listed on the drink menu so we had to wait for the new menu before we could rethink our order.
I know it was their late night menu but it left a lot to be desired and if you don't like pork there is like 1 option for you in the hummus plate. I got the porkbelly bahn Mi which was mediocre. No flavor from the pork at all and the pickled vegetables overwhelmed the entire sandwich.
The speak easy concept is interesting but I don't know how it would ever work at this location Guys aren't allowed to approach girls but are encouraged to send drinks to a lady they may be interested in. With only 30 people in the room, that doesn't leave a lot of room for interaction with strangers. Also would have been nice to be informed of the 20% service charge automatically added to all drinks. Auto Grat makes for lazy servers.
