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.

    The places was noisy. Patrons should be adviced on their noise level. Otherwise the atmosphere of the place is negativelly affected. It is a restaurant not a bar. Smell of the place was akwards as well.

    Food was amazing! Definitely the star of the show!!! Ambiance was terrible. The tables are packed on top of each other and it’s very difficult to have a conversation without speaking very loudly and having other people next to you be a part of your conversation. Service was mediocre but it wasn’t the servers fault. He had a table of ladies next to us that were needy and most likely single because no man would put up with their entitlement. Overall, great place to maybe get some takeout, but not dine-in for a special occasion or date night.

    We had a great time celebrating our anniversary at The Cellar at Duckworths! Edwin was a fantastic server and walked us through their menu as it was our first time there. He made stellar recommendations and the food was amazing! Will certainly be going back!

    **THOSE WITH NUT ALLERGIES PLEASE AVOID** I want to preface by saying this place could be really great, but we just had one negative experience after another from the moment we sat down. From the moment we walked in, it kind of had a weird smell but it didn’t bother us too much— just a note. The speakeasy was LOVELY and the atmosphere was nice. However, as soon as our server came over things went downhill fast. He rushed us into ordering our drinks and seemed like he was in a bit of a bad mood. I get it, everyone has bad days but he could have came back after a minute or two to let us decide. What really made me not like this place was the server’s training/awareness of allergies. I recently went to the hospital due to a life threatening allergic reaction caused by a restaurant’s negligence, so i take allergy policy very seriously. I informed the server FIRST THING that I had a nut allergy when I sat down and he was like okay cool, i’ll let the bar know. When he came back, I let him know of my allergy again when we were ordering food. He said “oh all the food is fried in peanut oil, are you allergic to peanuts?” I paused for a moment, dumbfounded on how to respond. For someone working in the restaurant industry, it is essential to understand allergies and how to communicate them properly. I ended up eating nothing at the restaurant and my friends ended up being disappointed with the drinks they were pressured into getting. If you don’t have allergies and know what you like, this could be a very nice place. For my friends and I who were celebrating a birthday (that was never addressed by the server) it was not great. I will not be coming back.

    Wow! From the moment we walked down the Cellar steps we were greeted with impeccable staff and smells of delectable food. The wait staff was top notch and suggested hand crafted cocktails that were beyond yummy! The Burrata salad and Truffle fries were also favorites. We enjoyed the large portion size of the Sea Bass and finished the night with the Nutella cheesecake. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return.
