Not Really an Experience

Jennifer_C, Oct 2025

We were excited to try Sips of the Past – A Speakeasy Experience, but overall it didn’t quite live up to expectations. When we arrived, we were asked if we had a reservation, which we did, but there was no mention or acknowledgment of the special “experience.” We each ordered a drink and a small plate, assuming they were included as part of the package. The drinks were excellent and the food was delicious — definitely a highlight. The bartender was friendly and welcoming, though we had to ask questions ourselves to learn that the space was originally a speakeasy. When the bill came, it became clear that staff weren’t aware we had booked the experience. Once we explained, they corrected it and made the necessary adjustments, which we appreciated. However, the overall presentation didn’t feel like a true “experience.” With better communication and a clearer explanation of what’s included and what makes it unique, this could be a really fun and memorable outing.
