The Raines Law Room

Ring the bell, get seated in plush couches . Pull chain on wall to order, classy ladies come get your order then bring the drinks from an unseen back bar . Great music/atmosphere. Fantastic date spot .

Sexy wallpaper , awesome booths , delicious drinks. My tip is to leave your name early, get dinner and drinks around the area, and then be ready for Raines at a minute's notice when they call!

Check in with the hostess & try not to be a dick if there's a waitlist. Worth the wait, the cocktails are yummy and the back patio is perfect for a hot summer night. You have to order at the bar .

Has a speakeasy aesthetic from its windowless, living room-style interior down to a functioning doorbell guests have to ring. A charming courtyard with outdoor seating adds a little breathing room. Read more

The mixologists are one of the best in the city . Communicative, great personalities and better drinks. Get a lounge space or drink at the bar .. never a bad time at the RLR !

Love the vibes here. There can be a long wait , but if you arrive before 9pm, it’s quite easy to get a spot. Crimson fix and Magic hour if you like gin-based. Sherry colada is an amazing tiki drink .

Nice speakeasy in cozy atmosphere . Make a reservation for groups greater than 3.

The best cocktail speakeasy now doing Tiki drinks . The blackstrap rum mixed with pineapple , Campari , bitters , and other treats served over a big ice rock tasted like refreshing molasses goodness.

Best day to come is midweek after early dinner . The Raines Law Room is a beautiful, sexy and perfect place to unwind, catch up and sip on finely made shaken or stirred cocktails .

Speakeasy-style bar that feels like having drinks at your rich friend's house. Excellent cocktails and a beautiful patio . Reservations recommended for peak hours.

Lives up to the hype. This speakeasy is very cozy . Only a single small dish of cheese , olives , and soppressata . Try the old fashioned , or anything bourbon based. Peep the wallpaper .

Ring bell to be let inside(if full will take your# & call) and step into a cozy subterranean bar "living room" lounge . Bartenders/waitresses friendly . Great creative cocktails .

One of the nicest cocktails bars in NYC. Four separate rooms with totally a different feel and decor. Very good drinks too, obviously.

Great for dates. Come 1h earlier than you want to drink. Expect to stand in the back for 1 drink and then sit. Look at the bartender favorites list in the menu for the most interesting cocktails .

The speakeasy vibe is a little tired (secret stairs, ring a bell, get seated by a bouncer), but this place has a great cozy vibe and really good cocktails .

There is no better scotch cocktail than the Philadelphia Story , which is mixed with amaro averna, st. germain, grapefruit , and bitters . It's smoky, spicy , with a strong hint of citrus .

Awesome speakeasy but often crowded ...best to go at off times. All the drinks are good, and they have outdoor space/garden in the back for when it's nice. General decor is really dark.

Gorgeous little speakeasy - ring the bell & you're granted access. Excellent selection of cocktails & the decor is stunning. The Kama sutra styled paisley print on the walls is really something!

By far, my favorite cocktail bar ! The comfy couches , naughty wallpaper and speakeasy vibe make it my standard to go place when my friends are visiting from out of town . This is New York.

Come here for quality drinks in a comfortable & luxurious space. The service is impeccable and the hostess makes sure the bar doesn't get crowded . You are guaranteed a seat soon after ordering.

The bartender is completely amazing - if you don't know what you want, he'll whip something delicious up to please your palate preferences. Atmosphere is great. Best place in nyc I've been to yet.

This place has great ambiance. From the music , to the lighting, to the scented candles they burn. It's a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan . Try the Green Point.

Perfect hidden hole in the wall speakeasy ! Looks like an apartment from the outside, you really have to know what you're looking for to find it. Great cocktails , excellent service.

Tucked away behind a staircase, locked door & a host straight out of the 20s, this vintage speakeasy is the perfect setting for a rendezvous. My vodka gimlet was beyond my normally high standards.

Nice chill speakeasy vibe with velvet curtains and a bell for service. Extensive cocktail list . Good for a cozy quiet evening drink.

Intimate setting for hanging out with a date or a couple friends. Couches and chairs in the front, cocktail bar in the back. Try the Pioneer Spirit if you like whiskey .

Romantic spot for sure. I've never had a date at this place that went bad. The music is good and the cocktails even better. It's quiet enough for conversation.

Always a favorite for cocktails . I love this place. Great on a Sunday evening as the place is not as packed or hard to get into perfect for dates, romantic .

A first rate speakeasy . ring the bell. Worth the wait for a couch , but they let you watch cocktails being made before you get seated. Get a spicy one.

Great cocktails , superb service and awesome ambiance (we went mid-week). Loved the retro design and the booths with the comfy sofas and the bell to request service

While the set up isn't ideal for parties of two, the smart light switch for service and the superb cocktails (the Sicilian Cobbler and Aries Era, for example) are well worth the trip.

Pioneer Spirit (rye , apple brandy , orgeat and angostura bitters ), the Andean Dusk (Pisco , grapes , lemon and rose champagne ), 10 Gallon Hat (mezcal , ancho chile, lime and pineapple ).

You can drink in this standing room only or if available the host will show you to your own secluded, curtained area to enjoy your drink amongst the other hushed speakeasy goers.

One of the best cocktail bars in America. Luxurious decor, very well executed drinks. They make everything they mix into the drinks save for the booze.

Freaking delicious drinks. Order anything on or off the menu and it'll be great. Just let the waitress know if you're looking for particular liquors and flavors and they'll make a drink just for you!

Ross Collin is a top spot earner! Make sure you have a reservation to try some delicious concoctions . They stir up some beautiful symphonies of spirits !

I asked for the American Trilogy although it was not on the menu anymore and I am glad I did. It's an awesome drink. Also the ice is crystal clear, can't tell it's there from the side of your glass.

Lovers don’t have to worry about interruptions; each table has its own doorbell that you ring when you’re ready for a drink, like the suggestively named Hanky Panky ($13). Read more
