Bar Burgers

Review Summary

Le Petit Secret is described as a mystical speakeasy with a sophisticated vibe, underground music, and a warm, engaging staff, where beautiful decor complements well made cocktails and the atmosphere feels suitable for any kind of group or occasion. The new management is seen as promising, with praise for the music and sound system that help time feel suspended. The staff are repeatedly noted as friendly and professional, and the bar is commended for its quality decor even as ownership changes are underway. On the negative side, some reviews warn about renting the venue, mentioning post payment clause changes, limited hours, and a mandatory cloakroom that feels overpriced. Prices are described as exorbitant, with cocktails listed before tax and tips and default tip percentages applied despite counter service and a lack of smiles. The service can come across as transactional, including a cold response and an impression that profit is prioritized over hospitality, such as being asked to leave early when there was still space reserved. Still, the venue earns stars for its setting and decor, and there is consensus that Le Petit Secret has notable potential for memorable nights, even if some anecdotes and cautions are shared.View restaurant profile
