Not only does this place make the best handcrafted cocktails in the city but has one of the best happy hours! Secret to getting upstairs is to come on a weekday!
Awesome custom drinks! Great bar staff! We had an amazing time!
The experience was great!! Wonderful food, great staff, wonderful atmosphere, and AMAZING cocktails made to your taste.
The staff were playing music that didn't quite fit the venues vibe, and they unfortunately gave away a bit of the experience we'd made a reservation specifically for... They were just a touch too helpful. Long term I'd definitely bring more friends for special occasions!

The ambiance here can’t be beat. It’s an old-money library theme and it’s very comfortable inside. But as nice as it is the lighting is bad so any photo we took looked awful. The service and drinks were both good but I suspect the waitress was on coke. So mixed feelings about that.
Needle & Thread: We later got a reservation for the speakeasy upstairs which was okay. The ambiance isn’t as nice up there, the aesthetic is kind of all over the place. The bar height chairs are trash as far as quality and comfort, so we asked to be moved. I think whoever gets there first should get to those their seat, personally. It took over half an hour to get our first drink and when you make the reservation that’s clear it’s only for an hour. We were able to get a second round of drinks though, I think because we went right at opening the timing was a bit more flexible. The waiter takes down your preferences for drinks and flavors and they come up with something creative for you. I got a very unusual drink full of flavors I don’t like and honestly they made it work. The second drink was better but my fiancés drinks were better each time. I don’t know if I’d go back, but I’m glad I tried it. I personally preferred downstairs to the speakeasy vibe.
We booked a spot for the hidden speakeasy Needle and Thread in the back. The bartender chatted with us for a little while to get to know us and our flavor profiles before putting together unique cocktails specific to our tastes. And I must say, they did not miss. The first one was slightly better and more accurate than the second but both drinks I got, were something I would like to have again. Great vibes in the room, quiet, good ambience, were able to maintain conversation without having to yell.
this review is for Needle & Thread, the hidden cocktail bar in back. I research and make a new cocktail at home every week and go out to cocktail bars often, including a recent visit to Death & Company in NYC. the two cocktails I had here were hands down the most creative, complex, and satisfying I've ever come across. I suggest to go with the format...they ask your mood for flavor and base spirit, then custom-create awesomeness. the food was excellent with perfect portions. to the clandestine entrance... you walk into Tavern Law, pick up a black rotary phone a few steps into the restaurant to the right, give them your reservation name, and they buzz you into an industrial strength vault door. now we know it's no longer prohibition, but uhhhhh still sets the mood for mischief.
One of our favorite places to grab custom cocktails made to match you pallet. Attention to detail is an understatement and it never disappoint. Whether it's for a special occasion or not, this is and has been a place to go. Always amazing service.
Great cocktail bar with an interesting list of drinks. Walked in one hour before they close (mid night) on a Sat night they were able to seat us at the bar.
The Ube drink with boba tasted funny.
Food at happy hour absolutely amazing! Had an old fashion which has inspired me to start trying to make them.. so damn good.
Speak easy upstairs was fun but ngl.. down stairs was better
Tavern Law has an incredible drink selection, kind staff, and a fun environment, allowing patrons to time travel to the prohibition era. If you're lucky enough to get a reservation to their upstairs speak-easy, you'll even get a handcrafted cocktail that's unique to your drink preferences.
Excellent cocktails and atmosphere. We felt rushed to finish up and pay our bill, which wasn’t great, but other than that a solid spot.
Whether you're just going to Tavern Law or make it up to Needle & Thread, you'll be well taken care of. The service here is standout, but the drinks and food are not far behind.
