⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

RD Speakeasy offers an ambiance like no other! The cocktails are tasty and stout, while the mocktails are refreshingly flavorful. The bartenders truly stand out—they're personable, communicative, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. I can't say enough good things about them. Love this place! Highly recommend for a memorable night out.

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 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!

The kitchen closes relatively early, so I'd recommend dinner beforehand if youre going late. Typical speakeasy decor, nothing too unique.

But my oh my would I take the service here over any other bar I've ever been to. The welcome cocktail to kick off the night and the menu of delicious drinks are great. But what really makes this place shine is the bartender making something new off the top of his head based on what you like or whatever vibes you're feeling. He works with you to craft something you've never had before and every single one will be a hit.

Loved it! Loved the gorgeous chandelier, all the seating nooks, great service & the bevvys were delish! And who doesn’t love a good ‘leg lamp’! Unfortunately I overlooked the ‘password’ in my email confirmation, but they let us in anyway! ?

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 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!!
