Pianos. Plates. Pour Decisions.
$2 million into a building everyone else gave up on.
Two grand pianos, Beethoven to Biggie, and the crowd picks the setlist. Grown men have wept during "Piano Man" while a bachelorette party started a conga line in the same set.
USDA Prime filets. Family-recipe Cubans on La Segunda bread. Nashville Hot chicken that holds its own against actual Broadway. People come for the pianos and cancel their dinner reservations somewhere else.
Somewhere in this building is a hidden door. Behind it: Ash & Alchemy — a members-only cocktail den. You'll need the password. We don't just give those out.
Two million dollars on a street everyone else abandoned. The sound system alone could wake up downtown Clearwater — which, frankly, could use it. Walk in and you'll feel it.
“This is one of those bucket list things to do if you get to Tampa.” — Google Review
Independently owned. One of the last on Cleveland Street that hasn't been bought out or scared off.
Two pianists wage war on twin grands while a room full of unhinged Floridians screams song requests. Every night is different. Every night sells out.
Rock, hip-hop, country, Broadway, that one song from your wedding. Shout it. Tip it. They'll play it like their career depends on it.
You will stand. You will sing. You will probably end up on our Instagram. Quiet people don't stay quiet long.
Rotating performers, crowd-driven setlist. Thursday is nothing like Saturday which is nothing like last Saturday. You literally can't get the same night twice.
Contact us to reserve the balcony for your next event or celebration.
Availability varies — we recommend booking in advance for weekends.
Private second-floor balcony overlooking the madness. Your own bar. Your own restroom. Room for 30 of your favorite people on earth.
Find the Hidden Door
If you know, you know.
The Captain's Underground. A Speakeasy for the People.
Hidden behind a door you'll never find without the password. Prohibition-era cocktails. A middle finger wrapped in velvet, served neat.
Contact your city officials and ask them why they're holding up our grand opening. Rhymes with “why-entology.”
Preview the cocktails now in our VIP Balcony. Full speakeasy coming soon.
