For years, I’ve wished a place like this existed. I don’t know how they stay in business with only two tables, but I’m not going to question. I could see myself coming here every week or two for years. Get reservations!!

Had an amazing time here for a spirit-free night. The location serves as both an intimate speakeasy and storefront for spirit-free cocktails and a variety of bitters and recipe books. Reservations are required but for groups of 4 or more, the entire place is your party's to enjoy for the hour.

Wow! Just wow! This hidden Speakeasy is NOT to miss!! The drinks are nonalcoholic, but delish! And the atmosphere! There is so much to delight your eyes here! And there's a little movie room with an old fashion photo booth with props that will take you back to the 1920's!! I loved it here!

Literally such a cool place! My friends and I wanted a non-alcoholic option and decided to drop in here on a Friday night. We got a reservation a few days ahead of time and once we got there we could see why - there's basically room for two parties, three max if one sits in the photo booth or stands. It's super cozy. There were three of us so we sat on the couch by the windows. We ordered a bunch of things, the wine flight, blueberry cocktail, baby it's cold outside, and I got the trouble in paradise which is a passion fruit margarita. It was sweet with a little spicy because of the sriracha rim, so that definitely hit the back of the throat with every drink. It was delicious! The photobooth is an amazing touch and it's so great that it's included with the cost of entry. We loved taking pictures and using the cute props they had available!

I really enjoyed Bandbox. Since I'm participating in dry January I figured this was the perfect place to visit. Reservations are required since the place does not hold that many ppl. I arrived a little early because you want to give yourself time to find parking . The door is locked until your reservation time to give time for the previous reservations to enjoy themselves. Since I was the first to arrive for my time slot which was 10pm i was able to choose whether I wanted the high table or the couch. I chose the couch. Since I'm short I'm not a huge fan of high tables because they leave my legs dangling. The reservation time is an hour. The bartender and host explains the menu and set up. Everything is zero proof , so you'll see names like tequila or rum on the menu because these drinks will achieve the same flavor as those liquors but without alcohol. They also sell bottles etc . They also have a cute free Photo Booth you can take advantage of . I ordered Baby it's cold outside, high hat & the Trouble in paradise. All the drinks were phenomenal. The high hat, which is like an old fashion is currently the winter version so it has a heavy cinnamon taste. They also offer an egg nog baby it's cold outside too. The trouble in paradise as my fav it was like a passion fruit margarita . The customer service was great everything was explained so throughly. The music fit the speakeasy theme & I took plenty of photos. They also have other games to play throughout They even have some dress up items like hats etc to make your photos more fun. I definitely recommend checking them out . I will definitely be back. The only thing I would recommend is adjusting the lighting. I love the mood but it was so dark in most cases I couldn't read the menu without a flashlight and to pay you can go to the counter or scan a QR CODE but it was too dark that my phone unfortunately couldn't read the code.

Hubby and I are currently doing 75 hard (which means no alcohol) , and we're looking for something new and different to do for date night. We made a reservation which was $5/each and I was so glad we did not realizing how quaint the venue is with very minimal seating. There's a strict one hour time frame because of this. It's important to follow this guideline. Outside of this, our hostess was wonderful, educated us on the offerings, and made suggestions. I had the coffee mocktail and he had the old fashioned one. We really enjoyed the experience of feeling like we were having a drink without the side effects the day after. The inside has a ton of 20's inspired decorations, music playing and a fun movie area that's the Photo Booth. You get to take one strip of 4 photos and the booth gives you two of the same so you and your friend or love can have the memory's maid. If you don't drink or are doing a dry month and looking for a place to hang out, I definitely recommend the BandBooth! See

I was SO pleased with my experience at The Bandbox! This is a non-alcoholic cocktail bar with speakeasy vibes. I loved the fact we could have a sophisticated night with a wide range of drinks as opposed to the measly 2 or 3 mocktail options at other bars. You do have to make a reservation ($5 deposit per person) since the place is so small (10 person max occupancy). Reservations last one hour but if there are no reservations after you, you are welcome to stay longer. I personally liked the small size because it allows for an intimate experience. Classic jazz music played as we sipped our crafted drinks. I first ordered Sheba's Stinger which was essentially an espresso martini. My only critique is I wish the drink was a little more bitter as I thought it was leaning more on sweet side. The two drinks I loved the most were the High-Hat (old fashioned) and the Petting Pantry (Pomegranate margarita). The High-Hat had a delicious Smokey flavor. The Petting Pantry has a sour kick that was so much fun to drink. Drinks were $8 to $10 dollars. I would advise getting there a few minutes early to find parking as you're relying on street parking. Also, don't miss out on the photo booth that is complimentary with your experience! I'm so glad I finally made it to The Bandbox and I can't wait to bring my friends here!

This spot is a true gem. It's cozy, quiet, affordable, and has a great drink menu. Be sure to make your reservation ahead of time and show up on time.
