About Bodega Underground

The underground speakeasy bar & kitchen

Bodega Underground brings the energy and aesthetic of a hidden basement speakeasy to the modern bar and kitchen format. The below-street-level setting — exposed brick, intimate low lighting, and a cocktail-forward bar — creates an atmosphere that feels genuinely apart from the street above.

The menu balances American comfort food classics (smash burgers, mac and cheese, fish and chips) with elevated options (steak frites, grilled salmon, short rib tacos) and a well-developed cocktail program. The result is a venue that works for a casual bite and a drink or a proper night out.

Bodega Underground operates across various U.S. locations. Check bodegaunderground.com for locations, hours and reservations.

What is Bodega Underground?

Bodega Underground is an underground bar and kitchen concept set in a basement-level space with exposed brick, low lighting and a moody speakeasy atmosphere. The menu features American comfort food with a modern twist — smash burgers, short rib tacos, grilled salmon — alongside shareable small plates and creative craft cocktails. It blends late-night bar energy with a quality food program that stands on its own.

Is Bodega Underground a speakeasy?

Bodega Underground draws heavy speakeasy inspiration — the below-street location, intimate lighting, exposed brick and a cocktail-forward bar program all echo the Prohibition-era speakeasy aesthetic. While it operates as a fully licensed bar and restaurant (not a hidden or invite-only venue), the vibe is deliberately moody, underground and exclusive-feeling. It's a theme and atmosphere, not a legal speakeasy.

What are the best cocktails at Bodega Underground?

The standout cocktails at Bodega Underground include the Smoky Old Fashioned (mezcal and rye with smoked sugar), the Speakeasy Sour (bourbon, lemon and honey with egg white) and the signature Bodega Mule (vodka, ginger beer and cucumber). The Espresso Martini is also a high-reorder item. Cocktail prices run approximately $13–$16 each.

What food does Bodega Underground serve?

Highlights include Truffle Parmesan Fries (~$12), Loaded Nachos (~$15), the Underground Smash Burger (~$18), Short Rib Tacos (~$19), Grilled Salmon (~$24) and Steak Frites (~$26). Vegetarian and vegan-friendly options are woven throughout the menu, including the Crispy Cauliflower Wings, Burrata Toast and Mushroom Flatbread.

Is Bodega Underground good for groups?

Yes. Bodega Underground is well-suited to group visits — the shareable small plates format (Crispy Cauliflower Wings, Street Corn Dip, Loaded Nachos, Truffle Parmesan Fries) is ideal for a table sharing across multiple rounds. The basement setting creates a private, intimate atmosphere that works well for birthday celebrations, date nights and casual group outings. Check with your local Bodega Underground about private dining or group reservations.

Do I need a reservation at Bodega Underground?

Reservation policies vary by location and demand. Booking ahead is recommended for weekend evenings, especially for groups of four or more — the intimate underground space fills quickly.
