It's named for the 1920s and it looks the part - vintage-inspired decor that leans into the speakeasy angle without being a museum of it. But everything they actually pour and plate is modern: the cocktails are built by a beverage director who's constantly changing the list, and the kitchen runs a sophisticated take on Southern classics rather than bar food. It's one of the more serious cocktail rooms on the strip, and the bartenders put on a show shaking them. They've been voted Best Downtown Bar and Best Cocktails by the City Paper, which is a lot of credit for a place that also runs a full restaurant.
The room has three bars and a big outdoor patio, and there's live music on the calendar most nights - a soul singer-songwriter on Saturday brunch, a bluegrass band on Sunday, a DJ taking over the floor on Fridays after dark. It gets crowded, the way any good King Street spot does, but it's the kind of crowded where the drinks are still good. It's the expensive end of the block, and on a weekend night the energy is a full-on party.
