What a find!!!

Was in the immediate area and saw this as being close by on my trip advisor app. The signage is so minimal and the street is so residential that I thought my GPS gave me a bum steer. Basement of an older house with which...More

cool bar hidden in a house

It's fun going to a bar that is in someone's house. In a nice neighborhood. There was music but the sound system was not great. Good bartender, drinks are pricey, probably because the place is small.

Speakeasy is the best way to explain

Ok, this is the basement of a house in a residential section. Very interesting, clean bathrooms and a different atmosphere!

UNIQUE!!

Smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood is an operating speakeasy. Go down the walkway, walk into a side door and you're in a time warp. Nice place with a GREAT shuffleboard table.

Best Kept Secret in Rumson

If you haven't been, go! & make sure you order something off the new drink menu. A great time in a tiny, tucked away spot in Rumson! If you find it, you'll definitely have a great time!
