Intimate queer speakeasy with a craft cocktail menu since 2014
The Jewel Box is an intimate speakeasy on Congress Street that has operated as an intentionally inclusive queer space since 2014. The bar features a candlelit, neo-Victorian interior and operates without exterior signage, relying on its reputation as a community 'jewel.' Known for its high-concept cocktail program—a 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist—the menu rotates through creative themes like Tarot or Sailor Scouts. Weekly events include Wednesday karaoke and 'Mocktail Mondays.' With only 20 seats, the venue prioritizes a quiet, speakeasy environment for queer patrons and people of color.
