It's the "Grape & Grain Exchange" in San Marco.

The owner I spoke with shared that the speakeasy gets quite full on weekend nights (I understand that it is "intimate," not cavernous) so call ahead to reserve a table during prime times. They have live music many nights, sometimes a DJ. I was hoping for, but did not hear anything about, exotica, lounge, or chill genres. They have to cater to what's musically appealing to the majority of folks. This includes, according to the owner, occasionally some hip-hop which I thought finally died a while back. He told me that Wed/Thu nights are quietest - which I like best for sipping good cocktails, relaxing, and actually having a conversation with whomever you're with. Most of the time I like to go easier on my ears than on my liver, heh, but there are exceptions.

This probably isn't the Tiki Central forum topic under which to post this sort of a review, but since I mentioned it and there was follow-up interest here, I decided what the heck.
