Scotch Lodge
A speakeasy where the cocktails and food actually warrant the speakeasy treatment. The mixologists know their work; the spirit selection is extensive and thoughtfully chosen; the small plates are playful without being gimmicky. It's hidden in a basement behind a nondescript entrance, requires a reservation, and costs money, but the people who find it tend to get why it exists.
Pro tip: The speakeasy location is actually hard to find—arrive 10 minutes early and look for the unmarked basement door rather than wandering.
The food is well-regarded for its excellent taste, creative preparation, and high-quality ingredients, with many dishes highlighted as standouts.
“How amazing everything tasted here”
Service is frequently described as knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and outstanding, with staff often going above and beyond to assist guests.
“Great service, knowledgeable server”
The atmosphere is consistently lauded as sophisticated, intimate, moody, and elegant, creating a speakeasy-like ambiance.
“Beautiful moody place”
While some find the prices high, many diners feel the quality of food, drinks, and overall experience justifies the cost.
“Fair and expensive and ridiculously overpriced”
