The secret is out about a Connecticut speakeasy & restaurant, I KNOW YOU KNOW - the 2025 CRAZIES Awards Bar & Beverage Team of the Year!🥂

Guests open the door to a surprise: brick walls with metal ceilings and other details, cozy seating nooks reminiscent of the 1920s era prohibition when alcohol was illegal.

The rotating speakeasy tapas menu includes calamari, wings, muscles, empanadas, Cuban sliders, and loaded plantains.

There’s no hiding because the restaurant and bar recently received statewide acclaim for a major award in the hospitality business.

“If you love what you do, the people you do it with and who you do it for, it’s the magic in the sauce,” one owner said.
