If you're looking for a night out with character, mystery, and a touch of old-school glamour, this speakeasy is an absolute must. It invites you into a world that feels like a scene from a classic film.
The atmosphere is simply enchanting. Dim lighting, vintage decor, velvet curtains, and soft swing or jazz music set the tone perfectly. You truly feel transported back to the 1920s, as if you've stumbled into a secret party.
The cocktails are a work of art. Crafted with precision, using high-end spirits and creative ingredients, each drink is both delicious and beautifully presented. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to customize something based on your preferences.
It’s the perfect spot for a romantic date, to impress out-of-town guests, or just to escape the chaos of the city for a couple of hours — without leaving Manhattan.
That little thrill of stepping into something secret and special makes the experience unforgettable.

Get the Orange cosmo. Get it.

The drinks were great, and the vibe was romantic and cool. However, the waiter was not friendly, and then we realized that the lady at the table next to me said how rude he was to her. The restroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a month or renovated in a century.

Loved the vibe, stylish and laid-back. But the cocktails were just okay and felt pretty light on alcohol.

Transplant paradise. It’s an establishment telling born and bred REAL New Yorkers they can’t wear hats inside AFTER they take our drink orders and charge us. Tell us BEFORE you take our drink order, not AFTER, and there won’t be a problem. You think you’re slick. If you’re a real New Yorker born and raised, then make sure you let these people know it.

If you're looking for a sophisticated, cozy, dark library vibe, auction house is for you. Perfect for a girls night out or a date. The drinks are good and strong. Its unmarked entrance makes for a discreet yet edgy cocktail bar experience.

We've hosted our annual holiday staff party here the last two years and its always fantastic. Megan is a pleasure to work with and Adam is the best behind the bar. Highly recommend for any group events or a casual night out.
