Super cute speakeasy. Reservations are necessary. The bartender was a joy and catered cocktails to your liking. The lamb chops were phenomenal. I would never have guessed adding Thai red curry to lamb chops would be “the way.” Can’t wait to return for jazz night.

Quaint atmosphere with chill music. The bartender was warm and welcoming ans whe whole vive gives you a personal feel.

Amazing Bartender amazing Server. The Band was awesome. Blue dot band check them out. We got there early and had the whole place to ourselves so it's a plus for a date night I wouldn't expect that every night. We will be back on Thursdays for BlueDot.

Extremely disorganized place. Have a line of 10 people on Sunday night and takes 1+ hr to go inside, seriously?! I haven’t waited this long for the most famous bars in the world and it’s that for this little place? Overrated, not worth it

We had a blast! Our server made our evening such a joy! He recommended cocktails and also tweaked some of the classics for us.

Fantastic coktails, bartenders are very knowledgeable about the art of cocktail making. I had the Sazerac and the Pigs and Peat, both of which had the right amount of smokiness and and were extremely balanced. The ambience was also great, definitely felt like I was teleported back into the 1920s. Also feels cooler when you memorize the passcode rather than having the receptionist let you in.

Stopped in after eating dinner and had some really good drinks. Had a nice whiskey smoke drink. Going to try the food next time. Lamb chops look delicious. The atmosphere was really neat and relaxing.

Closest I've found to an authentic NYC speakeasy experience in the area. Amazing cocktails and super friendly bartender! ?❤

Amazing cozy, chill, secluded spot for a romantic upscale date! We had a few of the shareable plates - elotes, tuna lettuce boats, and the latin beef tenderloin. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented well.And then the drinks? The presentation of everything was what got me!! We tried a couple of different ones each, and everything was good! My favorite was the Pigs and Peat! Nice smoky finish/flavor. Close runner up was the Roosevelt Island - nice play on a LIIT, but this was way better and delicious too! Try it!!

Great spot for drinks or romantic date
