Mata Hari's Speakeasy - Savannah, Georgia

Maureen Berry

This speakeasy is a hidden gem! Once you get the password and get in through the front door, you will be greeted by Kenny the best doorman ever! And then you can get the best cocktail from Ivan the bartender, who was so knowledgeable in every subjects. The cabaret show featured top notch talent. Bob Fosse,l would be very proud of these girls and their male partner. Five stars all around. I would highly recommend going to see the show.

Lovely, hidden speakeasy. The atmosphere is what makes it! Ordered a Dark & Stormy, which was fantastic. We stayed for the Cabaret show of the Downtown Delilahs. The show was a little late starting and rather expensive for what it is. The dancers were mostly fabulous and the MC was witty, although we didn’t pay to play music trivia between sets… we paid to watch burlesque dancers…so. Anyway, definitely check the speakeasy out and catch the dancers when it isn’t an “off” night.

A joke for a speakeasy. unclear rules in terms of dress code. I have never been to establishment where a woman could not have her hair covered but I was harassed by the bouncer twice for wearing a beret. I asked the bartender about dress code and she said the hat rule only applies to men. We got our drinks and sat down and the bouncer consistently harassed us. We got up and left. Don’t waste your money here when there are several other good bars to go to.

We came in on a 37 degree night in January checked in at the door, ordered drinks and then were told by the bouncer (we just checked in at the door with) that we had to take off our beanie caps. My wife who is dealing with hair loss from medical treatments refused. When we asked there was no reason other,than the owner doesn’t allow it. We were pretty stunned so we double checked with the bartenders and they replied the dress code only applies to men. We got our drinks sat down and were approached again and they made us feel terrible. We left right away, didn’t even take a sip of our drinks. Couldn’t get a refund after paying 80 dollars a piece for entry for the burlesque show. Mind you we double checked the dress code and it stated that baseball caps weren’t allowed not beanies or berets. Don’t waste your money

This place is an absolute joke. I ordered a martini – a two-ingredient drink, which should be foolproof – and somehow, they managed to mess it up. Easily the worst martini I’ve ever had.

We were lured in by the promise of a cabaret, so we paid $120 for tickets for me and my fiancé. What we got was a stinky, dark, cramped room with five “dancers” who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. Honestly, calling them dancers is an insult to actual dancers. And calling that mess a “cabaret” is just insane.

There were no singers, no real performances, just terrible music blasting through a speaker. It was awkward, uncomfortable, and a complete scam. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs.

I regret to say that my experience at this establishment was quite disappointing. The drinks, notably the Mojito and Dark 'n' Stormy, left a lot to be desired. It appeared as if they were watered down which significantly impacted the overall taste and quality. Given the price point of $15 per drink, I expected a much better quality cocktail.

While the show itself was decent, the seating arrangement left us feeling unsatisfied. It came to our attention that individuals who arrived early and queued were seated at the VIP tables at no extra cost. I recommend future guests to arrive early to avail of this, however, considering my overall experience, I would urge the management to pay closer attention to the quality of their drinks and possibly reevaluate their pricing and seating policies to improve the customer experience

Such a great time. We were so excited to get in and then double the bonus we we're able to go into a secret burlesque show through a closet door. There are no photos of that show we were asked not to take any. But the host was awesome and me and another person they're celebrating her wedding we're able to go to the stage and play Name That Tune. I am no longer allowed to drink absinthe LOL but it was a great time.

Over all the place had a great atmosphere and the drinks were pretty good. That being said they were kind of expensive but I feel like that’s most of Savannah. The burlesque show was a great time and the performers were amazing, definitely worth a stop in to see the show. The guy at the door harassed us for money on the way out though and made some of my group feel uncomfortable. Other than that it was a good time.
