Speakeasy

520 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018

It's got layers

This one has layers.

It's a giant place with a ton of seating. Plenty of TV's so if you're hoping to catch a game, you'll see it here without a doubt.

Towards the back, there's a big staircase. Head down, and you'll see another bar. It's a bit quieter, and there aren't as many screens, so it's a bit less overstimulating.

But that's not even the speakeasy. If you explore a little while you're downstairs, you'll find an entirely different room, with a very different, lovely rustic design and much much more privacy.

That's the speakeasy, and man do I love a little maze to get to the bar.

I'm a big fan, and I also appreciate it when big popular establishments like this put a little effort into the backrooms.

It's a good spot, and I'll be back.
