Mediterranean restaurant with downstairs speakeasy moving into Spike & Charlie’s space

A Mediterranean restaurant with a downstairs speakeasy is preparing to open in the Mid-Town Belvedere space that formerly housed Spike & Charlie’s. The new concept aims to blend a dine-in experience with an intimate speakeasy atmosphere, expanding options for guests in the area.

The project will repurpose the former Spike & Charlie’s layout to accommodate both dining and a hidden bar area.
Management describes the menu as Mediterranean-inspired, emphasizing fresh and shareable plates.
The downstairs speakeasy is planned to offer a curated list of cocktails and small-batch spirits.

“We want to create a vibrant gathering spot that honors Mediterranean flavors while delivering a unique, secretive bar experience,” a spokesperson said.

Construction and permitting processes are moving forward, with a target opening date to be announced. The venue intends to maintain a welcoming, upscale vibe suitable for both casual dinners and evening cocktails.
