Do I have to be a member to enter?

No, anyone may come to the speakeasy unless it is during a special ticketed event, a buyout event, or an exclusive member’s only event. We expect to be VERY busy as soon as we open, so it may be difficult to get in without the front-of-the-line privileges that accompany all levels of membership. Please plan accordingly!

 

As a member do I have to know the current password to enter?

No, a customized numbered keychain and photo ID are all our members need to enter the speakeasy. However, we encourage you to keep up with our social media pages and engage with other members and visitors by sharing your experiences via pictures, videos, and posts. Following our social media will also give you an early heads-up on any special events or buyouts.

 

Are there different membership levels?

No, we offer one very exclusive membership level. A limited number of memberships are offered each year.

 

How long is my membership valid?

Memberships are valid for one year and will be reviewed by management for annual renewal.

 

Can someone else use my keychain to access the speakeasy?

No, only the registered member or their spouse/partner, as listed on the Master Membership Roster, may  present their numbered keychain. Photo ID is also required upon arrival, and must be presented at every visit.

 

Is my membership transferable? 

No, memberships are not transferable.

 

What if I move or cannot use the membership can I get my money back?

Because we only offer a limited number of exclusive memberships we are not able to refund unused member benefits.

 

Can my membership be revoked?

We hope not! However, memberships may be revoked for reasons including but not limited to: 

• Mistreatment or abusive behavior towards staff, guest presenters, or other patrons

• Damage to speakeasy property

• Disparaging remarks about the speakeasy, restaurant, or other members on social media or any other form of media

• Failure to renew your yearly membership within 30 days of expiration.

If membership is revoked for any reason it is non refundable and non transferable. 

 

Can I stay as long as I want?
