Although Bramhall touts itself as a speakeasy, there's a level of exclusivity implied in that description that doesn't register at this redbrick underground bar. You'll find good music, candlelight, a ton of bourbon, Scotch and rum, and a casual crowd of regulars. With its wings, burgers and frito pies (chips smothered in chili), the pub menu isn't bad either.
