The Speakeasy is the only apartment below ground at The Squirrel’s Nest, a 1925 building with four themed apartments. It’s a studio: the queen bed and a leather Chesterfield share one room, with exposed Sioux Quartzite walls, an open black ceiling, and basement windows for daylight. The cedar sauna, full kitchen, and green-tile bath are yours alone.
