Every letter in Norwalk passed through here.

In 1886, the city’s post office moved into the south room of the Stewart Block. For 46 years, this room kept Norwalk's secrets. Every letter the town wrote and received passed through these walls — and only the people who sent them ever knew what they held.

Now the room is keeping secrets again, just a different kind. Gather your favorite people, pour a cocktail or a glass of wine, and spill the tea where Norwalk once sealed its envelopes.

hand crafted cocktails for every occasion

Drink Responsibly. Enjoy Norwalk.
