Speakeasy

105 W 55th St, New York, NY 10019

Not that hidden

It’s a little advertised on the street - there’s a sign on the ground with a big arrow pointing inward.

They try to make it feel more speakeasy-esque by adding a big red curtain before you enter, but honestly I’m not incredibly sold on the hidden aspect of it.

It’s extremely well done inside, don’t get me wrong. It’s gorgeous, and it fits the dark, dramatic, moody ambiance you’re looking for in a speakeasy.

But I wouldn’t call it a ‘true’ speakeasy because of it’s promotional sign out front.

I love the spot, I highly recommend it, but if you’re looking for a genuinely hard to find place this isn’t it.

I’ll begrudgingly add it to the speakeasies list though. It’s a very nice place.
