This place is nice. I don't really find it's a speakeasy though. I mean yes it's behind what looks like a food takeout place but the door to the bar is wide open and it's not very hidden.
I showed up early at 6:20 pm and by 8 pm I think it was pretty packed. I had the Gjelina pizza. It's on flatbread and has prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella and balsamic vinegar. It was good ! It really tasted like balsamic vinegar though so if you don't like the taste don't order it. My friend had the salmon poke bowl but replaced the salmon with tofu. It was a big portion. I didn't get the poke bowl because I had already tried it at Venice next door and it's the same.
The first cocktail I had was the Miami vice. It's not like the on the Ies you drink in Mexico at a resort. It had rum, guava juice, like juice, coconut pieces and a slice of pineapple. There was also a coconut popsicle inside. Next time I would eat the popsicle first because i waited till the end of my drink and the popsicle was melting fast! It tasted good though.
Next I had the clandestino cocktail. It had mezcal with passion fruit nectar, simple syrup and sparkling lemonade.
Then I had the basil smash cocktail. At first I didn't like it because it was very bitter but once I mixed it it grew on me. The more I drank it the more I liked it. The cocktail contained vodka, gin, lime juice, ginger and cucumber.
The service was good. My friend asked the waiter what sweet drink he recommended and he recommended the peach pisco sour but it wasn't sweet at all. So she returned it and the guy gave her the same drink for free and it turned out that the bartender was missing the key ingredient to make it sweet and it was actually good.
I think this would be a cute date to bring a date.
