This speakeasy hidden inside a historic house on Plaza Río de Janeiro channels the prohibition era with live jazz (the band Jazz Wann Perro plays regularly), burlesque-style performances, and a DJ spinning 70s, 80s, and 90s tracks. The cocktail menu runs creative — try the Secret Knock or White Death, both carefully balanced — alongside a strong selection of whiskies and classic serves.

Expect a cover charge, and drinks land on the higher end, so plan for a splurge. The space is small, so reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends when the live music draws a crowd.
