    Place was great! Entrance is in the back of the building which took us a bit of time to find. Fun drinks, only 16 seats and wasn't overly loud so my friend could talk normally to each other. Make sure to have a reservation!

    Carlos and Ryan were excellent and the drinks were beautifully crafted. The negroni and espresso martini were two standouts for me. The atmosphere was really comfortable and fun and we will definitely be coming back!

    This charming “speak easy” bar does not serve food but focusses on superb cocktails. There is a friendly environment for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend the experience.

    Staff Only is a gem. If you enjoy quality hand crafted cocktails and a great chat with bartenders who are passionate about this industry, I highly recommend you check out Staff Only. It's a great idea to make a reservation. Try the Singapore Sling and Boulevardiere! Probably the coolest ice cubes I've seen in a cocktail. Wishing the owner continued success.
