Cocktails are well crafted and balanced. The bartender fixed me a gin/ginger drink. Speakeasy 's fascinate me and I love the secret entrance and dim lights . Great for intimate and quiet conversations.

Super difficult to get in tonight. Ask to be seated in the bar room vs the library . Good cocktails and very good bar food - the cheese toast , the scotch egg and the ricotta is amazing.

Also within the William Hotel is the speakeasy , Raines Law Room at the William, has a book-lined library room with a roaring fire, antique furniture and a hushed atmosphere. Read more

Hands down one of the best speakeasies in manhanttan! Luxury vintage atmosphere, amazing cocktails (especially the spicy one), and good looking mixologists . Take your out of town frans here to impress

Oh it's dark, noir-ish. My favorite. Try the Old-fashioned (feel like John Hamm) if you are into it. No secret entrance . Ask, they point. Heavy velvet curtain, I fumbled a lot. Great food menu too.

Jackie Napalan

Very romantic . Make sure to make a reservation . On the main floor they have seating with opaque curtains to make it feel more intimate . Cocktails are always well-crafted.

Andrew D.

Classy , cozy and convivial quarters for well crafted cocktails . Fabulous original artwork on the walls, enhances the sophisticated atmosphere. Enjoy drinks at The Shakespeare below first, if waiting.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Great intimate spot with superb cocktails , great service and fun vibe. The spicy section really is, so unless you really want that burn stick with normal or strong

Brad T

Menu changes often but started w/a Hat in Hand - a well-balanced rum cocktail - before moving onto a make-your-own Old Fashioned (50/50 bourbon/Rye for me).

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

I'm not sure if I prefer this location or the one on 17th Street. This one has more of a secretive and fancy vibe, like some Illuminati library . The cocktails are excellent of course.

Meg Farmer

Love this cozy cocktail spot. Superb service, great atmosphere and delicious cocktails . Jimmy knows his stuff. This location is smaller than flat iron spot.

L. Q.

Good environment, but I was definitely unhappy the the service. In one hour I was able to get one drink. I couldn’t get the chance to eat, as it was impossible to be served by the distracted waiters .

Nadia IssaBella

A gorgeous speakeasy above an English Pub that serves $20 cocktails to remind you that you're still in NYC.

Lucy H.

Unlike at the Flatiron location, here you can make reservations for any day of the week!

Olivia Slutsky

Ring the bell and enter someone's saloon in the 1920s. Delicious cocktails , $15 across the board. Great gem in Murray hill .

Mayank Mahajan

Great relaxed vibe in this dimly lit and hidden speakeasy . Cocktails are $16, on the higher end but delicious.

Todd Kuna

Good cocktail bar with dark, cozy atmosphere and solid drink list

Wesley Bliss

Exceptional cocktails , great warm decor, friendly staff . Definitely less pretentious than the original location.

Nancerella

So close to home with a cute ambiance... It's definitely a great place for a date

Marc Schneeberger

Great cocktails !!! Try the garden paloma. Spicy spicy !!!!

Andrew Furman

Awesome space. Can be crowded at times, but we lucked out with no wait on a Friday night.

John Burke

A great hidden gem for after work. Reservations are always a good idea.

Wonderful place !!! Service is Nice, cocktails are good but on top of it they can prepare New ones on demand

Nina N

Even cooler than the original Raines Law Room. Well hidden (inside another bar ) with thoughtful cocktails .

Chad Horner

Oskar Magnusson

Amazing cocktails and great staff !

Jayant Pichamuthu

Unassuming yet quaint with a delicious cocktail menu .

Mikita Kot

The bar was full so I was offered place at the aisle which was fine. However the lady was too concerned I approached the bar to place the order and forbid to come to the bar

Rachel S

It seems they don't do same day reservations , or at least not reservations only a couple of hours in advance. Once you do get in, try a Pear of Aces.

Zach Travis
