Our Story
A Cherished Legacy
The Brass Lantern, a cherished gem in the heart of Phelps, located in the basement of the historic Phelps Hotel, first opened its doors many years ago. It quickly became a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors, known for its unique atmosphere and welcoming vibe.
It was the perfect place to unwind, share stories, and make memories. Though it eventually closed, its legacy lived on in the hearts of the community.
A Historic Return
Now, the Brass Lantern is being revived with a fresh vision—transforming it into a speakeasy that honors its storied past while embracing new energy and ideas.
Located once again in the basement of the Phelps Hotel, this reimagined space will blend historic charm with modern vibrance, inviting both new and returning guests to experience its magic.
The New Vision
As part of this revival, The Brass Lantern will introduce a unique drink menu featuring specialty cocktails named after local businesses—each one telling a story of Phelps' entrepreneurial spirit.
Though details are still being finalized, the goal is clear: to create a menu that celebrates the town’s past, present, and future. The Brass Lantern is once again poised to become a beloved gathering place—where history meets hospitality and every drink celebrates the community.
