Nice vibe. So many people, maybe need to wait for a while. Will visit again if I have chance.

A true jewel hidden in the heart of Midtown, the Wildcard Bar surprises with its intimate and elegant atmosphere. The environment, with attention to detail and inspired by Japan, creates an oasis of calm away from the city chaos. The cocktails are creative and refined, prepared with special ingredients and presented with great care. The service is attentive and welcoming, making the experience even more pleasant. A perfect address for a special appointment or for those looking for an unforgettable drink in an exclusive context

Exotic drinks. Cozy spot.. but super dark and super small speakeasy bar.

They were so nice! We were a walk in group of 10 people because we forgot about reservations and they still accommodated us so quickly by giving us a room. The drinks were delicious and the snacks were great too. We were probably a very big hassle to deal with so I’m very grateful!

One of the best speakeasy bars I’ve ever been to in the US. The ambiance was amazing it also gave a luxurious vibe. They also have a wide selection of drinks. Each of us got 3 different cocktails and everything was delicious. I would recommend this place to my friends that going to visit New York.

Appetizer foods were good albeit very pricey. Drinks were extremely disappointing. The “Mrs Purple Poet” had some really interesting flavor descriptors, but ended up tasting like nothing more than a mojito. The sakura confetti also, tasted like NyQuil and a fake plastic cherry blossom flower was pinned to my drink- do they wash this? How many other peoples lips have been near this flower and then it was smacked on to the rim of my nyquil shot… very disconcerting, tasteless and tacky especially for a $23 cocktail. The extra umami martini was passable but basically just tasted like a cup full of sake and nothing else. Great ideas but poor execution- ultimately a disappointment.

Would absolutely recommend swinging by the bar as a unique spot in the haunts of midtown or utilizing Wildcard for your next small event!
Hudson, Yuki, and team helped us curate an incredible event in their space. We made a curated menu of their incredible Japanese cocktails and mocktails as well as their bar bites. The team was so attentive and their drinks are so creative and the craftsmanship that goes into the cocktails make them masterpieces. We had 40 women who couldn't stop talking about the drinks and food.
We absolutely LOVED this place!!!
Very interesting drinks with unique ingredients like pickled plum! Very beautiful inside, friendly service and nice music.
It’s a good place to bring friends from out of town too or have business meeting because they have private rooms for that purpose.
Cocktails exceptional! Vibe exceptional m! Service beyond exceptional what a find! Also the two snacks we ordered were delicious, coming back soon!

Wonderful experience in this Japanese Whiskey themed speakeasy. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who is looking for cocktails with excellent craftsmanship and beautiful attention to detail. The 6 drinks we tried between the two of us were all unique and amazing.

This is one of my all-time favorite places to get cocktails!!
It’s a hidden speakeasy and a townhouse which makes it super cool. Once you walk inside you least expect the glamour. The vibes are super fun with an array of masterfully crafted cocktails some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I definitely recommend this place.
