We visited Cold Room Speakeasy on Friday after having an amazing experience with Sarah at el Pequeno. We came to Cold Room just to be served by her again, even tho she was a hostess she did not disappoint. Despite the long line & impatient guests, Sarah was warm, welcoming, & made sure we were well taken care of.
The drinks were fantastic expertly crafted & definitely worth the visit.
The only downside was our server, Lilie, who came off as rude & arrogant, which was a bit of a letdown.
Cold Room is definitely worth checking out, especially for the drinks & Sarah's hospitality!

Highly recommended. If you go Mon-Thu, it will be less busy. Drinks from menu are great! The bar tenders are highly attentive to detail & service. The only reason for they are not getting 5 starts from me (someone extremely picky when it comes to the hospitality industry), I ordered a gin & tonic after ordering some of their amazing drinks from the menu, & the g&t wasn't what I had hopped for.

FYI, best g&t I have ever had are served in the Basque Country.
