Eleven Twenty-Two Speakeasy & Cocktail Lounge - Paso Robles, California

Dan Mark

Wauw. This is a real speakeasy - or as good as they come.
You wait in line until they have room for your party size. You then enter a small room where the rules are laid out - and you have to check in you phone. Yes, no photographs in there…..
Then you enter the bar. You sit in a booth by a table or at the bar. We had a choice, so we selected the bar. Always nice to watch the bartenders at work.
We had a total of three really nice tasting and well balanced cocktails.
No pictures for obvious reasons ….
Definitely a place to visit.

Here is a nice atmosphere.
I ordered a Thyme cocktail for $15, and it was delicious.
Nachos was ok. We ordered plain nachos but got with meat.

Staff was polite.

Thanks!

I was really looking forward to the experience (was recommended a place by a couple of people) but unfortunately was not allowed inside after waiting for 15 minutes.
The reason for it: you have to have the passport to be allowed in (i’m 34 and I have an international driving license with me but it wasn’t good enough).
We went to Alchemists garden after that and had a great experience (and no issues with ID checks). Lovely place and would 100% recommend

My wife and I had a WONDERFUL time here on our anniversary!
It was our first time at this speakeasy but will definitely not be our last.
The environment/vibe was very cool, fun, and intimate... the cocktails were AMAZING across the board... and our bartender/host (Matt Kelly) was not only a superb mixologist but an all around charming and kind conversationalist!
We can't wait to return... with friends!

Fabulous & fun experience! The entry, the lack of cell phone access, the characters that were drinking there, the staff & especially the mixologists - all a worthwhile reason to make the effort to find the place & stop in for one of the best drinks you can get! I loved the NTS & my husband (who knows his way around a drink recipe) said the Corpse Reviver 2 was a winner!! Highly recommend!

The "No Cellphone" policy at 1122 Speakeasy in Paso Robles might have limited my usual share of vibrant cocktail photos for my review, but it certainly didn't hamper the overall experience. We got the feel they were after and managed to take a few exterior pictures.

We kick-started our visit with a Butter Pecan Old Fashioned, a DeadBolt, and an NTS. The expertise and precision involved in crafting these cocktails were apparent in every flavor-packed sip. We are already looking forward to our next visit, hoping to nab a prime spot at the bar.

Securing a bar seat is like grabbing a front-row ticket to a mesmerizing show – the bartenders here are incredibly skilled performers!

Our group had the worst Experience. The front door guy was a fast talker explaining how we had to act and order drinks. It took a long time to get our drinks, a member of our group didn’t hear the exact instructions and ordered a drink at the bar. The staff was upset the Manager Matt once we got our overpriced cocktails told us we had only 10 seconds while he counted down to drink them and kicked us out. Coincidentally overheard someone at another table complaining about something. We will never go back. The place is going to have a lot of problems having an unexperienced manager running a bar.
