Super cute, dim lighting ambiance! Service was quick and attentive and drinks tasted great! DJ was good, played the jams of the 2000s. Easy to book online. Didn't eat so can't rate the food
Many thanks to Brandy who made YKN an inviting place to be. I enjoyed the cocktails. Please try the guava chiffon pancake cocktail ❤. Delicious! I had the poke nachos, but please request that the wontons are warmed first. It really brings the cold poke, warm wontons, and the remainder of flavors beautifully together. I most certainly will visiting YNK upon my return to The Irvine Marriott.
My husband and I had the very best time Friday and Saturday night. Brandy and Sean really make this experience. Incredible mixologists! Will continue to return when we are in town.

YNK Speakeasy is a stylish and cozy hidden bar located inside the Irvine Marriott. Known for its New York style ambiance, it offers a great atmosphere that feels more like an upscale living room than a typical bar. The venue is perfect for date nights or gatherings with friends, featuring nice music with occasional DJs, and a “Dixie” theme that adds to its unique charm. Its intimate setting includes comfy couches and high-tops, creating a warm and welcoming vibe. The bar serves a variety of creative and well-balanced craft cocktails, such as Smoked Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, and Smoke & Mirrors, which are highly praised despite their steeper prices, making it a suitable spot for special occasions. Food options like churro bites and a cookie skillet complement the drinks, and staff members are friendly and attentive, often making guests feel valued—occasionally offering free desserts for celebrations. The menu rotates every few months, encouraging repeat visits. Parking is validated, but reservations are recommended for evening hours. Overall, YNK Speakeasy is a great spot for those seeking a unique, bougie experience with excellent drinks, friendly service, and a fun, themed environment.
