The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

The food was good, well seasoned. Sizable portions. The sides were good ( Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes & gravy), collards, broccolini, corn bread. The fried chicken & braised short ribs reminded me of my mother’s home cooking. Thanksgiving meal did not disappoint. Asia M our server and everyone made you feel welcome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal! Turkey was absolutely delicious-loved that you served both dark and white meat. We were impressed with the sweet potato bisque, and whipped potatoes and gravy were also awesome. We had carrot cake and cheese cake for dessert, also delicious. Next year, add a side of cranberry sauce and the meal will be perfect! Servers were extremely courteous and could not have been more obliging to our requests. An overall wonderful dining experience on a day we didn’t care to cook or wash dishes. Also glad we were able to beat the lunch rush! Thanks so much!
