Cool speakeasy in the utc mall. Beautifully decorated and they make good drinks. Only had a couple, but they had a large selection. Plus I presume they make any cocktail you'd like. Worth visiting if you are in the area. You have to make reservations online, but it's easy and can be done same day of not the busy bar hours. We made our reservation on Sunday at 4 one hour before we arrived.

This place is always perfect for an after dinner cocktail. Very swanky and upscale speakeasy vibes. The drinks are artisan, high quality beverages. A complete 10 for me. The style and design of the place almost takes you back in time.

It’s a very cool opening to get into the actual bar. Best to have a reservation. 2 hour limit only. No food. Probably great for someone who knows their drinks because some were more then 40$ or so.

I had an out of town visitor, so we went to Raised by Wolves on a Tuesday evening for the experience and to sip on their cocktails. We did not have any food! The vibe, the cocktails, and the service were outstanding! My visitor was highly impressed! You feel like you are in a different world, with a great vibe, once you enter through their "secret door!" Definitely worth checking out and vibing there! They are packed on weekends. Reservations are recommended!

Really good drink selection and very tasty. The atmosphere is really nice and the decorations are very unique. Also the speakeasy entrance was very cool. Definitely recommend getting reservations early.

Went with a friend and my hubby. It was the first time our friend had been to a speakeasy and he was really excited to be there. It did not disappoint at all. The secret entrance is always fun and he loved it. Once we were all inside we were promptly seated and while at first it was a bit awkward sitting two people on a couch and one in a stool we figured it out and made room so we could all sit together. All of our drinks were good and we never felt rushed. Between the three of us we got The Tiki Room, Cosmic Dancer, Rain Check, When Things Go South, and Time of the Season. It was busy but that's no surprise we could all still hear each other. Overall a great night with great drinks and cool ambiance.

I’ve heard so much about this place and I’ve seen so many videos of this speakeasy. I finally got a chance to check it out. We had a reservation for 5:30pm. We arrived early so we got to take some pictures, videos, etc. The liquor store has impressive collections of spirits. I love the revolving door set up. The inside was grand, dark and mysterious. I got a drink that was 80% ice and 20% alcohol mixture. It definitely wasn’t worth $20 for a drink. I guess you’re paying for the ambience and experience. I would say check it out at least once to see it yourself.
