The Vault

Hidden inside The Marmorosch Blank Bank building, The Vault is a bar that turns history into ambience. The former bank vault—complete with real safes, steel doors, and deposit boxes—is now a cocktail lounge where preservation meets creativity. It’s a place where craftsmanship in drink isn’t just fanciful, it complements the space’s dramatic energy. Expect plush seating, moody lighting, mirrored surfaces and glimpses of stone and steel accents—authentic bank architecture repurposed for comfort and elegance. The menu blends classic cocktails with signature creations; whether you lean toward an Old Fashioned, a modern twist, or something adventurous, the bartenders here seem keen to match drink and mood. While The Vault is polished and upscale, it avoids feeling stiff. Guests often describe the atmosphere as “speakeasy elegant”—you dress smart casual, the crowd is discerning, but there’s warmth, personality, and a sense that you’ve discovered something rather than being shown off something. On Fri/Sat nights the bar stays later; earlier in the week it’s better for quieter sipping. It’s also a place that pays attention to pairing—cocktails are served alongside artisanal bites, popcorn, maybe something lighter, all to enhance the drinking experience without overwhelming it. And there’s an element of theatre: being in a former vault room, the decor, the doors, the safes all remind you of the building’s past.
