Nearly a century ago, the American bar learned to whisper. Laws tried to silence the shaker, yet behind unmarked doors the craft survived, guarded by bartenders, sustained by curious drinkers, and preserved in the margins of old bar manuals. Tavern Law and our upstairs speakeasy, Needle & Thread, salute that lineage. The Golden Age is remembered, rehearsed, and performed nightly. We lean into history not as costume but as craft, with clear intentions, measured technique, and hospitality that lets conversation stretch.

Our bar reads like a living library. Classics arrive as their authors intended, cold, balanced, and aromatic, while house signatures riff with modern tools and a little mischief. We clarify, chill, and cut ice to fit the glass. We build bitters and syrups with the same care a kitchen gives its stocks. Choose faithful standards or the Quick Decisions list. Ask for spirit-forward, bright and citrusy, or quietly dangerous. We will tailor the pour.
