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.

    Everything was 5 stars! The waiter John was phenomenal. The GM made his way over to talk to us which was nice. He was very friendly & cool! The food was great which was expected for the price you pay. They had a DJ playing r&b which was also cool.

    Love love love the vibes! So relaxed, removed, intimate and approachable. Don’t let the casual vibes fool you—the service here is exceptional. Wonderfully welcoming, friendly, with an attention to detail that is worthy of a Michelin star but without any of the fuss. The menu variety is impressive, both on the food and the cocktail side of things. We will be back!

    Angelines was a great Christmas dinner for my family of four. The entire staff from the valet to the server made us all feel welcome. We started with whipped ricotta. It was delicious! Don’t sleep on the chopped salad, very tasty. It was hard to choose an entrée because each one looked amazing.
