Speakeasy NYC | Employees Only

Imagine a time when drinking alcohol was illegal but everyone still wanted to have fun. This is when speakeasy bars were in their prime since they were the only place to snag a Martini.

Back in the day, these speakeasies were difficult to find, as they were often hidden behind unmarked doors or secret passages. Today, the concept of a speakeasy provides bars with the opportunity to entice you to go looking for them and make them feel more exclusive.

Employees Only has been a staple of New York’s renowned and vibrant bar scene for decades, and their menu offers creative cocktails and exquisite cuisine. At first glance, you can see that this place guarantees a unique experience, with its 1920s aesthetic and flawless drinks, this bar has earned several accolades, including being named one of the World's 50 Best Bars, according to The New York Times.

If you're planning to visit here, a reservation in advance is a must, since this place is always busy. I highly recommend trying their food, the flavors are delicious and the portions are the perfect size (if you don't like super big portions!). When visiting, make sure to ask for the table seating area, and if you want to enjoy a not-so-busy ambiance, come early in the evening, but if you prefer a dancing and loud vibe, they even offer Burlesque every Sunday at midnight!
