Great vibe, excellent food, and top-notch drinks. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and delivered fantastic service.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the awkward table design on one side of the room. The cylindrical bases don’t allow you to comfortably slide your legs underneath, which makes for some clumsy seating, entertaining to watch, but not ideal for settling in.
That said, it’s still a great spot for a cocktail and bite. Definitely worth a visit!

Eric led a truly outstanding cocktail class for my partner and me! The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment we joined. It struck the perfect balance between instruction and interaction, making the experience both informative and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

For anyone who has not attended a cocktail class at JBespoke I say don't walk, run! This is my 3rd class and it doesn't disappoint, leaving you excited for the next time. Eric not only teaches how to make the cocktail, he also shares fun facts about the ingredients, the do's and don'ts. The event space is so cool and cozy making it a perfect spot for team bonding or a group of friends celebrating any occasion. I am already planning my company's next class.Thank you Eric for an all around wonderful evening!

We had an amazing cocktail class here with Eric! He was fun, knowledgable and responsive throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a team event this was a great option. The drinks were delicious and all the staff was very helpful and engaged! The speakeasy portion is great to enjoy a drink after too!

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent visit to this place last week. While celebrating my friends’ engagement party. My experience was disappointing. Excessively long wait times for our drinks at the bar, the owner ignored us for 20 minutes. Please stay away.

I took the craft cocktail class and it completely exceeded my expectations. We learned how to make two drinks from scratch – the Eastside and the French Martini – and both turned out incredible. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience feel approachable, even for beginners.
It wasn’t just about following a recipe; we really got into the why behind each ingredient, from muddling fresh mint and cucumber for the Eastside to mastering the perfect shake for that silky French Martini. The atmosphere was relaxed and interactive, and it felt like a perfect mix of learning and having a great time.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fun night out – whether you’re a cocktail newbie or already know your way around a bar.

Took a cocktail making class with Eric and it was a BLAST! This was my first visit to NY and I came out for a work trip with a few friends. I've never taken a cocktail making class before, so this was my chance to actually learn how NOT to just toss things in a glass and hope for the best. We made two really good cocktails, and the classes did an excellent job of balancing knowledge with hands-on activities. Between drinks, we spent some time in the speakeasy. The atmosphere was great, things weren't too loud. In fact, there were a few couples who were doing date night alongside our group, and I think the atmosphere likely amplified that! Overall I would absolutely do this again. Can't wait for the next one!
J Bespoke hosted a cocktail making party for my friends and me in my apartment. It was absolutely fantastic. Eric, the owner, is super knowledgeable, friendly, humble and unassuming, but great at what he does. Cocktails were SO GOOD. Eric believes in natural, fresh ingredients, and you can tell — everything was very high quality. We loved it!!

Hosted a private event at J. Bespoke - outstanding venue and service. The venue is a small, upscale speakeasy with sophisticated decor, plenty of seating and perfect audio / visual capabilities. Food and drink were both great, but the service is what made it such a great experience. The staff were incredibly easy to work with, able to accommodate every request, and paid attention to small details which made the event seamless. 10/10 would recommend!

In a 10 day period, we visited many of the highly rated speakeasy's in NYC. While I have been here many other times, this remains my favorite one in NYC. There are a lot of really good ones in the city. But for me, the atmosphere and quality of drinks appeals to me. The service is always top notch. I've always visited later in the evening so I have not had food here. So I can not comment on the quality or selection of food.

A quaint and intimate bar lounge hidden inside a unique storefront that has good drinks and amazing food. The presentation and craftsmanship of the drinks was phenomenal, and the pizza with vodka sauce is a must try! I would definitely recommend making a reservation since space is so limited, but I will definitely be back!
