About
A Prohibition-era-inspired speakeasy above a poolhall on East Olive Avenue in the Tower District, unmarked and reservation-only, with over 350 reviews on Yelp. Its unmarked, reservation-only format is a deliberate part of the speakeasy concept, so planning ahead is genuinely necessary here rather than optional, unlike most other bars on this list.
