Top 10 nominee for Best American Cocktail Bar at the 2014 Spirited Awards.
A hidden door disguised as a wall of beer kegs inside the Neighborhood restaurant leads to thirty-five seats, a gothic chandelier, and a program built exclusively on pre-Prohibition spirits, no vodka, no shortcuts. Walk-ins are seated first come, first served, and the bartenders' preference for the Bartender's Choice format encourages surrender to their expertise. Noble Experiment channels the historical accuracy of the speakeasy era without the cosplay that lesser imitators default to. The drinks land with a seriousness that the Gaslamp Quarter's party-bar reputation rarely suggests is possible.
