That's what I was going to say, they have had the stairs roped off every time I've been here in the morning. The bartender tonight said the speakeasy opens around 11-12, though she didn't seem very sure, maybe being the evening person. The breakfast drinks are the same as every CL: beer, wine, and mimosas/bloody mary's (and things that can be made from vodka and juice)

Finally here in the evening for the first time. The espresso martini is legit. The food looked fine, but I haven't eaten anything since I'm flying D1 and will eat onboard. They had shredded beef which looked more less the same as what they have at the IAH lounge frequently.
