It's hard to call this a "speakeasy" since its front door is anything but hidden. Still, the cocktails and cuisine here are some of the best prohibition-revival offerings in NYC.
Live jazz every night, a full kitchen, and some of the friendliest waiters I've met. This place is a gem that serves nothing but quality drinks, without pretension.
Amazing selection of bottled beer. Dark and dank speakeasy with a great music playlist.
Bentons Old Fashioned: bacon infused bourbon, maple syrup, bitters. Fantastic.
Romantic, underground. I saw a tip saying "blink and walk by the entrance" and it's true. Delicious drinks-got Keylime martini, Desert rose
Like a frat party on a boat. But still very fun and thier white sangria and garlic fries are TRUTH
Holy Jesus, D.B.A. has awesome beers. They had Double Dead Guy Ale, which I didn't even know existed... (Awesome)
This place is truly a hidden gem - a cozy Belgian beer bar with a vast array of beers on tap and an even more extensive bottled selection. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy the terrace on a sunny day.
This subterranean spot's only marked by a small plaque & doorbell you must ring to be admitted. Inside you'll find perfectly prepared, fresh-juiced, hand-stirred or shaken classic cocktails & punches. Leia mais.
Underground sake bar and Japanese tapas (izakaya). Dark and intimate. Love this place. Claire and my first date. -Francine, The Real L Word
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.
Expensive cocktails served in a hidden speak-easy by men with Civil War beards. The only thing Slightly Off about this place is how Eerily On these guys are. Even the ice cubes are well read. - IFC St

This subterranean lounge has live jazz, excellent Asian-influenced small plates and cocktails named after jazz classics like "Giant Steps."
Two floors. Three bars. See a killer band in an intimate setting or dance the night away to fantastic DJs.
Just steps from the Boom Boom Room, a 4-ft.-deep rooftop pool welcomes the scantily-clad, while AstroTurf pads well-heeled feet. Tip: Forgot your suit? Buy a bikini at the vending machines.
A hidden door, selective bartender, and limited seating makes this one of the more authentic speakeasies out there. Come with a good attitude, small group, and get ready to enjoy.
Madam Geneva is known for its fruity preserves—all of which can be served over ice with Beefeater gin or 42 Below vodka. Think: pineapple vanilla bean, pear ginger and cranberry orange.
go downstairs. there's no cell service = the best thing in the world. hide from everyone. get lost. get your friend to DJ. dance. take lots of great pictures. lose track of time. stumble out. 3:52 AM.
A total hidden gem of a wine bar, great to just chill out and enjoy a glass of wine or beer, whether alone or with company. You can't go wrong if you're in the area.
Old-fashioned barbershop meets vintage cocktail lounge at The Blind Barber, an East Village outpost promising hot shaves and a whole lot of hip people. Hint: try the "Sweeney Todd."
"Last night I had exactly one jargarita at sweet&vicious and went home, just as I planned!" -no one, ever
If you want to grab a beer with friends and have a nosh, go here. -Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
