Bad Harriet at Hotel Jerome

The front door stays locked — you knock, a woman at a solitary desk looks you over, and then you're directed down into a basement speakeasy named for Harriet Wheeler, wife of the Hotel Jerome's founder, whose well-behaved reputation this place cheerfully torches. The Art Deco room runs dark: banquettes, black-and-white portraits, a row of antique manual typewriters near the entrance, and cocktails organized into tiers called Class, Power, and Sins. Bite-sized plates — foie gras macarons, crab tots — arrive in small waves. The glassware is sourced from auctions and antique houses, some pieces dating to 1881.

The move: Book a reservation on Tock, drive up from the valley, knock on the locked basement door at 330 E Main, and work through the Power cocktail list while antique typewriters watch from the shadows.

📍 Before you go Reservations through Tock carry a $50-per-person deposit applied to your tab; the deposit is non-refundable and non-cancellable. Street parking on Main St is metered; the Hotel Jerome valet is nearby. Basement-level, no step-free entry noted.
