The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

We came here for an intimate work dinner for 8 (with a reservation), and it was absolutely perfect. They had a perfect table for us separated from most other tables. Danny was our server and was so attentive! He made great suggestions for the group, kept our water and other glasses full, and gave us the exact amount of time to enjoy dining and just causally talking! Food was phenomenal. Location is great. Will definitely do this again for a group dinner! Thanks to the whole team, but specially Danny who was THE BEST!

We typically go to dinner at Rooster’s prior to a Bluementhal show. The experience is mostly always good, with the exception of a couple of hiccups. Hiccups are usually addressed by management, so we continue to support. I would recommend Rooster’s for the good food, convenience and ambience.

The food was amazing! We had an assortment of items from the menu and our expectations were exceeded for every single choice. From the Jerk Chicken Noodle Soup to the Southern Fried Chicken, Mac n Cheese, Jerk Lamb Chops, Cinnamon Roll Waffles... we're still trying to decide what our favorite part of the meal was - all of it was my favorite!

The atmosphere here is very luxurious. My wife and I went here for a date night. It feels like an old school speak easy and the cocktails are top notch. I ordered their old fashion and it was made perfectly with the largest clearest ice brick I’ve ever seen!!! My wife and I shared the wagyu sliders and the truffle fries, absolutely amazing and I’m a huge burger and fries guy in my house!! It’s a must go.
