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.

    Drinks were fantastic - we sampled multiple of the craft cocktails and they were all excellent. The food was great. My wife had the filet and I had the market grouper with scallops. The truffle Mac and cheese is the thing of legends. Awesome experience all around.

    Food was good. Waiter could have checked on us a little more. It was hard to get his attention at times when I need something I had to stop other staff. I was told I was given a $10.00 discount and free desert for my birthday but that was not true. I was given a cheese cake (not my choice) charged $10.00 and then the 10.00 was deducted. So in reality thete was no discount on my dinner just the pretend birthday desert. If you are going to offer birthday dessert charge me for it and then deduct it, let me choose my desert or take the discount off my dinner. I don't like cheese cake so I didnt eat it.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal! Turkey was absolutely delicious-loved that you served both dark and white meat. We were impressed with the sweet potato bisque, and whipped potatoes and gravy were also awesome. We had carrot cake and cheese cake for dessert, also delicious. Next year, add a side of cranberry sauce and the meal will be perfect! Servers were extremely courteous and could not have been more obliging to our requests. An overall wonderful dining experience on a day we didn’t care to cook or wash dishes. Also glad we were able to beat the lunch rush! Thanks so much!
