My friend and I ordered Clouded summer & The Fire Inside at the bar. When we went upstairs to the penthouse, we ordered Little Victories and Strangers in Town. We enjoyed the cocktails, sweet and strong. The ambiance and the seating arrangements are cozy and bougie. Service was great!

Reallly cute rooftop! All of their drinks are exotic and they are known for adding fresh produce etc so they're super fun. I had a watermelon drink that included feta and basil! Kind of tasted like a fresh salad but was delicious!

We had a reservation for the Speakeasy for 6 people. The vibe and energy is great. This place is beautiful. They also keep it smelling nice, I think they were burning sage? Service was attentive and friendly. Our server explained the drinks to us and gave us some great recommendations. I had the Best Intentions - light and frothy, as well as the Scarlet Dance - nice raspberry flavor with champagne. All the drinks went down easy. We also had a few small bites - fries, veggies, sliders, etc. Everything was good. I love that they have free coat check here - just make sure to tip the person working - it's the right thing to do! I'd love to try their other location in Chinatown.

We were on our way to a different bar when we stumbled upon this gem. The entire vibe of this place is awesome. I love that the drinks are made with organic botanicals and herbs. The server offered me 4 drink options to be made into a mocktail! I had the little victories drink and it tasted like a tangy sweet carrot. I absolutely enjoyed it. The views are incredible and I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem.

Interesting cocktails and great rooftop space. Came with a few friends on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet. Strange experience near the end since the elevator wasn't working so we needed to take stairs down and access a different set of elevators

Cocktails we tried were all pretty good. Menu was interesting. Didn't know they have a rooftop and visited this time, great views and atmosphere, definitely the spot!

So the first time I came here, I was on the rooftop for drinks. There's a great view and it was a cute vibe. We had an option to be seated downstairs, but it was such a nice day to not be outside! I also found out that there's a different menu on the rooftop and downstairs. They serve food downstairs. The second time I came here was actually for a private event. We took a private cocktail making class. The class was in the upstairs area. They served us light bites that were set up outside in the rooftop seating area. It was such a hot day in NYC that they closed the roof (controlled with a remote), but it was still so hot in the rooftop area. We were served: - meatballs - grilled cheese - sliders -chips/guac - mini cupcakes As for the actual class, Max was our teacher. He shared that he was the general manager of the bar and was and from Ukraine. He said he uses these classes as a way to experiment and make new drinks. We made 4 drinks total. He also said we could substitute gin/vodka for tequila/mezcal and vice versa. They make their puree and syrups all in house. 1) raspberry drink: my favorite! I used gin as my base. 2) Peach (?) drink with foam: we used chickpea water instead of egg white to get the foam 3) a spicy drink: they already rimmed the cup with salt for us. This also had ginger in it. 4) drink with whiskey or bourbon (I gave this to someone because I don't like whiskey or bourbon) Honestly, it was such a great experience and the 2 hours went by fast. After we made each drink, they cleaned our shakers, equipment and we went outside to the roof area to snack and sip on the drinks we just made. There are non-alcoholic options too as we had 3 people in the class who didn't drink. Max said he would email us the recipes but he never got to that yet.

The vibes here are great, and the drinks are also not bad! We came on a Monday night so there weren't many people inside, but it was still nice and good vibes. We got seated at a large round table for our group of 6, and it was a little cramped but did the job. I got the After Day which is a gin based cocktail. This was pretty good, didn't seem too strong, and was nice to sip on. My friends and I all ordered an assortment of drinks and I tried some of theirs as well which were also good. They had live music playing, dim warm lighting, and an open large space. I would probably recommend this place for a relaxing night!

If you are doing dry January - avoid this bar because the creative drinks and intimate atmosphere will make you more inclined to cheat on that goal. This is going on my list of top 5 bars in nyc Ambience: so this is a speakeasy with a rooftop and bottom floor. The rooftop would be amazing to go to in the summer. There is a cool inside portion, that gives me library bar feels - which I am all about. We decided to stay on the bottom floor because it was foggy that night and they had a really cool jazz band playing downstairs, that heightened the whole experience. This is a really great date spot Food/ drinks: the drink menu is very cool. They break out the drinks into sections - pain killers, energy boosters, aphrodisiacs! I got the scarlet dancer which was not only a pretty drink but also a pretty good tasting drink! Service: Great service - super attentive and never made us feel rushed! It can be kind of confusing on where to go if you are trying to go upstairs but I guess that is what makes it a speakeasy Price: it was a bit over $50 for two drinks, which is pricy but normal for cocktail bars in the city! Given that it also comes with a show and feels like an experience - I think it is worth it!
