I can't wait for someone to break the no phones / photography rule, because this sounds fancy and I'd like to see inside - but I have absolutely no reason to go (or ability to go? Is it invite only?)

Paul, pretty sure anyone can go in. "Priority" to people with the membership keys. It's worth a visit.

Interior is great, elegant and understated at the same time. The drinks menu states "open to any but not FOR everyone".

I went here for a birthday drink and loved it! A great way to explain prohibition to my husband.

I can't wait to go.

I'm going this weekend. Looking forward to it.

I like the atmosphere at the Speak Easy in Albany. Drinks are good and the staff --- excellent.

However, the bar should require a dress code and stick to it. People should dress up or the whole idea will soon get diluted.
