Zack Sheppard: Yes, the cocktails are superb, but they're only half the story. This place has some of the best speakeasy dinner food in the West Village.
Siovonne: Best Speakeasy Bar around. I love the ambience and the art of cocktails meticulously produced each night from these experts. The place has an infectious vibe to it.
Drew Jennings: Amazing cocktails in a cool speakeasy style bar. Hold on to your wallet, though...

Ina Li: The legendary speakeasy is back with some cozy food options. Recommend: hamachi crudo, foie gras, and crab pot pie! The designer/historian is always around to tell the story of this place! Ask him
John E: Behind an unmarked green door lies one of the West Village's best hidden gems. Prohibition-style speakeasy with delicious cocktails and a killer burger. Oysters are also tasty & excellently spiced.
jiresell: Come for the cocktails, oysters or the burger! Lots of history here with book covers honoring authors who drank here years ago. Classic speakeasy. There isn’t even a sign outside!

Gary Toriello: Cool new speakeasy Slowly Shirly"Quilty" - smoky Islay Scotch, Mescal, Bourbon, Galliano Ristretto, Amontillado Sherry
Lauren Mac: Snag a candle lit table in this intimate 50s Hollywood themed speakeasy and order the "If Wishes Were Horses." Smoky sweet combination goes great with their potato chips, on the house.
AmateurConcierge: Come into Happiest Hour and head downstairs for a quieter but still buzzy speakeasy environment. Really dug the second spicy cocktail.

emily chen: great little speakeasy restaurant. feels like a bit of brooklyn in west village/tribeca. when it's nice out, sit out in the backyard which makes you feel like you're no longer in nyc.
Shirin Salerno: Great place for brunch! The avocado toast is awesome. Must also get the Johnny Cakes and the Kale and Quinoa salad. So yummy.
kate spade new york: try the hc pimm's. the watermelon is perfectly refreshing! cheers

Cocktail Bar · West Village · 126 tips and reviews
Ben K.: Great new bar from the Acme team that harks back to 50's LA. Must try the In-N-Out inspired burger and cocktails. Don't miss Slowly Shirleys, the swankier (and pricier) speakeasy downstairs.
Lauren Mac: Really fun (but loud) spot with a cool speakeasy beneath. Come for the people watching and the tasty cocktail selection.
emily chen: happiest hour always turns into happiest hours here. great playlist and vibe. my go-to is the sazerac. get the burger -reminiscent of in-n-out, fries, and the broccoli. you won't regret.
