“Stumbled into this place after an event, was surprised with live music, a burlesque show, and incredible drinks! Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a good drink and immaculate vibes 🥂”
“Such a nice place. It's a little tricky to get there. Its actually downstairs next to tanner Smiths. Beautiful ambiance. Amazing drinks 🍸! And appetizers !!!”
“Food was delicious, fresh, not salty. It was chiller and quieter than the restaurant. This speakeasy is a hidden gem. Drinks were great too. The vibe is amazing and love all the attention to detail. The only thing is I woudnt want to sit near the speakers if I’m a party of 3-4 but other than that, it was amazing! I will definitely come here again, love the history of Polly Adler, their menu had her story.”
“Polly’s is definitely on the pricier side, by I think it’s justified since the drinks are really good, the atmosphere is amazing, and it feels like a more upscale jazz bar. I had the banana bread martini and honestly—it’s a must if you come here. She’s sweet, so heads up if that’s not your vibe 🍌🍸 The wine selection is also really solid. The atmosphere is super cute with live jazz, making it perfect for a date or a chill catch-up with a friend. Just note it’s downstairs and the entrance is a little discreet, so don’t walk past it like I almost did 😅 Food-wise, the chicken nachos were sooo good. One quick FYI: wraps come with chips, not fries. Seating is limited unless you’re cool with the bar, so honestly, a reservation is your best bet. Pricey but worth it for the vibe, drinks, and overall experience.”
“Was pleasantly surprised by the large food menu and the food was all quite good. The shrimp sliders were particularly good. Cocktails were solid and the teapot cocktails are a really fun and come with quite a bit of volume so even though it says it's for 2, we shared it among 3 of us.”
