One of the authentic feel speakeasies.. the door used to be harder to find which is the only downside but the service and experience was so good! No cocktail menu.. they just make what you like and make it for you! Everyone in our group liked different things and all the cocktails were insane! Slightly on the expensive side but 100% worth it as a treat! We went on a Sunday and got a table for 4 straight away.. would probably book ahead if you can as its small!

THERE IS NO MENU. Writing in all caps for folks who ask first, read second. No menu. Chat with the bartenders (who have all been bartending for a stupidly long time) and tell them what you like. They then present you with a surprise concoction that is exactly what you like, and more. Each one will set you back $24, which is a lot, even for New York. Absolutely worth it for a special occasion or infrequent visit just because. Sit at the bar if you can, and get a lesson in masterful mixology. I ordered something with pisco, berries, and and egg white. He turned around with a Rose Pisco, with strawberries, lemon, and some other fancy stuff I don't remember. My friend asked for "the best margarita I've ever had, because all the ones I've had have been terrible." A high bar, but achieved nonetheless. The margarita was savory, refreshing, and a tiny bit spicy. Delicious top to bottom. Would love to come again.

Real speakeasy, custom drinks, unique experience. The staff (bartenders and hostess) were welcoming and seemed cool. The average for 2 rounds of cocktails was 22 (w/out tips and tax). We went 10 minutes before opening on a Monday and it had already a line.

Very cool experience - the concept is no menu, bespoke cocktails. Figure out what mood you’re in, what spirits you like, how you want it served (on the rocks, up, etc.) and they’ll create a cocktail for you and tell you what it is. Small place though, maybe 3 booths and then bar seating. Probably 25-30 people total. Recommend getting here early, right when they open, especially if you’re a group of more than 2. Speak easy vibes. You just kinda stand and wait outside until someone comes out to get you haha. No need to knock. This was a cool spot. Only downside - no menu means no prices. Cocktails came out to be $28 each after tax and tip which is…steep to say the least. Worth it for a one night experience though.

A wonderful cocktail experience. The lack of a printed menu and the tailoring of each round to your tastes is one of the best innovations in cocktails. The bartenders all have a deep mental library of recipes and can not only find a great drink for you but explain its history and influences. A wonderful time.
