You’ve got to visit this speakeasy bar hidden in a Cincy video store

You read that right: there’s a speakeasy hidden inside a Cincinnati video store.

The Video Archive is a video store "inspired by Quentin Tarantino, making independent films accessible to everyone, through the universal language of movies," according to its Facebook page.

Located at 965 E. McMillan St. in Cincy's Walnut Hills neighborhood, it specializes in grindhouse, indie and cult classic videos, according to Cincinnati.com.

But the real intrigue lies beyond the rows of movies. There’s a speakeasy bar located behind the shelves, with a gritty-yet-glam dive bar vibe and what looks to be some fantastic drinks.
