The Shelby was a perfect spot for a date night. The atmosphere is phenomenal and love the speakeasy vibe. We were waited on as soon as we sat down and got our drinks right away. Great, intimate setting.

Amazing cocktails and beautiful ambience. Their are a few snack options on the menu, however the cocktails are the main attraction. The playlist was well mix, and the bartender were entertaining. This speakeasy is also located inside a bank vault.
