the refuge

I read the great review in Stuart News and TCPalm so I had to head up to Stuart. The elegant speakeasy atmosphere made me feel like I was back in New York or Chicago. Or maybe on the set of Boardwalk Empire. I can understand why they got the award for best cocktail at the Taste of Martin County. The first time I was there the speakeasy room had a very lively private party but I was able to go in and see the hundreds of period black and white photos on the wall. And the fig, pig and goat flatbread is delicious! I've been back many times, especially for jazz night.

Amazing drink specials, super friendly staff and live music make this an awesome place. New owners really seem to care about everyone. Full bar where you can sit and talk, Craft Biergarten in the other room with live music, outdoor Biergarten tables on the side and a cozy side room that would be great for small parties. TV's, good bar style food and inviting people. I will be back!
