What Makes it Unique
Repeal isn’t just a bar, it’s an entire experience. Inspired by the excitement following the repeal of Prohibition, the space evokes 1920s flair with:
-
Velvet seating, moody lighting, and vintage-inspired design that evokes a classic speakeasy vibe behind closed doors.
-
Live jazz and music performances on select nights that bring the era to life in sound.
-
Attentive, themed service from servers in period-inspired attire to crafted details that add whimsy to your visit.
The cocktail menu itself is a love letter to the era, blending classic styles with modern creativity. Sip playful house concoctions like the Bathtub Gin Fizz, a whimsical mix of gin, lemon, pineapple, sparkling water, and lavender foam served in a miniature porcelain tub, or explore signature drinks like Pear-Per Plane, Strawberry Heaven, and Pomegranate Royal. Timeless favorites like martinis and old fashioneds are also available, featuring premium spirits and thoughtful twists.
And for those who want a bite with their beverage, Repeal pairs craft cocktails with a selection of small plates and shareables that elevate the experience into dinner territory. Think burrata bruschetta on homemade focaccia, ahi tuna crudo with passionfruit accents, heartier choices like filet mignon, and indulgent lobster rolls all ideal for pairing with your drink of choice. Trust us. It's as good as it sounds.
