  1. These kind of places sound like fun and are a welcome addition to the food and beverage scene. One possible storm cloud is the Equal Access body of law. Could all these places end up being forced to allow in, anyone that appears at their door? A single discrimination lawsuit might do it.

    1. Clint, I have been to a few of these places and have never seen anyone turned away. I don’t believe there’s anything like what your eluding to going on. It’s just a word of mouth, no signs out front and some form of speak easy era decorative theme. As the article states, it’s not really secret but feels like it is so that’s an attraction as well as the cozier environment. Try it out!

  2. Fantastic article Dave! The Exchange Whiskey Bar did a great job with a custom appetizer tray.

    The Commodore in Fountain Square had a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff. My daughter Jen discovered this place several years ago!

    The Wiseguy Lounge seemed to appeal to “regulars” versus new patrons.

    Posting the map on my social media!
