An exceptional bar experience for sure. It's easy to see why Allegory is considered to be one of the best bars in the country. If you haven't been yet, definitely make sure to pay them a visit.

We came here on a Saturday around 6, the hostess wasn't great. She was not courteous or professional. We were willing to order drinks while we waited which you can do. We let the hostess know and she told us that "Princess would get our order." She never let Princess know and we sat here without drinks. Others were sat before us and it kind of smelled like throw up. I just think that if we are willing to wait, at least let us have a drink while we do it instead of having us wait without one. It's not courteous and there was no rhyme or reason to her seating given I was a hostess. She ruined the experience for us, she needs some professional training, why give us a time limit if you're not going to try to seat people as soon as possible.

Says they open at 5pm but we (us and a line of other customers) have been waiting and it’s now 5:05 and the host is nowhere to be found.

A really great speakeasy with craft cocktails and good bites. There is always a wait because it’s so popular, but there are two other bars in the hotel you can wait at which is nice- both have very different vibes. It was so dark and moody and the vibes were on point! Will definitely be back.

Hands down the best cocktail bar in the city! One of the bartenders was even on Drink Master from Netflix.

Unfortunately when we got here, the restaurant part was closed but the atmosphere and drinks were on point. I enjoyed the art on the walls but didn't understand how it correlated with the menu (you gotta go to find out). Cute speakeasy. Decent music. Exceptional service. I will definitely be back because I really want to try the food. Check it out at the Eaton Hotel and try to make reservations.

Alice in wonderful with a fabulous, actively anti-racist twist. An ode to Ruby Bridges. You can find this speakeasy in the back of the Eaton hotel with complex drinks that are sure to delight, with or without alcohol. It's a vibe and a good one, at that.

Hostess was incredibly rude. I’ve been here many times and always loved the drinks, but after our experience with her, I won’t be returning.
It is one of the best speak easy in the city. The atmosphere is incredible. Every detail of the art and even the drink menu is spectacular. The food is good.

Nice ambiance, good service, but the high prices and over-complicated menu made for a less than ideal experience.

I wasn't impressed. The hostess at the door had an attitude. Actually, the lady who took our name was very nice. But the lady that was at the door when we were alerted that our table was ready, was not pleasant. The waiter was friendly, but he got our drinks orders incorrect and then they added an automatic 22% gratuity on 2 drinks. I appreciate the waiter alerting us that the tip was included. But we didn't receive service worth a 5% tip. And the drinks weren't that great I won't visit again. Lastly, after you go through the process to get into the spot you have to go back out to the hotel lobby for the restrooms. They were doing too much to make it exclusive, but it was kind of tacky. Oh and It's not a speakeasy.
