My friends and I were beyond excited to finally visit this much-hyped speakeasy with great reviews, but our experience quickly turned sour, leaving a bitter taste in our mouths. What should have been a fun and enjoyable evening was instead marred by racism and blatant discrimination.As we approached the secret entrance, our group of mixed Asian Americans couldn't help but notice the strange glares from the staff. Once inside, the atmosphere was noticeably frigid, unlike the warm and inviting ambiance we had read about in reviews. It felt like walking into an unwelcome ice bucket challenge.We were a decent-sized group, but we were under no illusion that we'd all be seated together. After all, it's a speakeasy, not an amusement park. That said, we were taken aback by being openly mocked by both guests and employees, who were hysterically laughing and degrading us. It was absolutely humiliating, as if we weren't human beings deserving of respect and common courtesy.I cannot recommend this place nor is it a safe space.
