Avis sur Employees Only Albee Square
Such a cozy location with super friendly staff. We arrived with a reservation, and our host, Kristina was very accommodating and kind to us. We have food allergies, and Kristina made sure we were taken care of. We ordered the steak and a side of truffle fries and it was all delectable!! The steak is perfect for two, or even three people and priced very fairly for such a large portion. YUM! The cocktails are fairly priced... Did I mentioned the place is so COZY =) Will return!
Great atmosphere & super cozy vibes, great music and good reasonably priced drinks. The team was caring and attentive, didn’t get the chance to eat but the menu looked amazing, will be back & recommend you to go 👏 sick design and a real wood fire as a plus
Employees Only is a solid West Village cocktail bar. The speakeasy-style entrance is more of a nod to tradition than anything dramatic, and once you’re inside it’s just a busy, comfortable space with good lighting and a steady flow of people.The cocktails are well executed. The Elderflower Gimlet is bright and straightforward, and the Manhattan is exactly what it should be — cold, strong, and balanced. Nothing groundbreaking, but no misses either. The Steak Tartare is a great move if you want food — fresh, properly seasoned, and an easy match for most drinks. The rest of the small plates are decent and do what they’re supposed to. Service is efficient and unfussy. Even when the bar fills up, the staff keeps things moving. It can get loud, but not to the point where you regret walking in. In short: good drinks, good atmosphere, no nonsense. A dependable spot when you want a proper cocktail without the attitude or theatrics.
We had a great experience! We came for dinner on a Thursday night. When we first arrived, we were greeted by amazing staff and made sure we were set up at the bar (we had a drink before our dinner reservation). The staff made us comfortable, took our bags and coats so we didn’t have to worry about them, and offered wonderful drink suggestions. The bartenders were super knowledgeable and very friendly and made delicious cocktails. When we sat for dinner, our waitress was attentive and friendly, creating a very personalized experience. All the food we had was delicious. Between the wonderful staff and the amazing and lovely atmosphere, it’s definitely a place I’ll keep coming to when I can and I definitely recommend it to people for a classic NYC night out!
The vibe in the place is great and cocktails were delicious if you are on the lookout for more classic taste with refined ingredients. The food was also of high quality and probably overcame bar food expectations!
We were lucky enough to have this little gem recommended to us whilst visiting NYC. It was very crowded on a Sunday night and the music was amazing playing tunes from every decade. The cocktails and service were outstanding and we were lucky enough to have Francis as our bartender. She went above and beyond, made the dreamiest cocktails and made our experience the best! We cannot wait to return next year!
I cannot rate this play highly enough. Absolutely the best cocktails my friends and I have had in a night. - Yellowjacket - Ash on My Tomatoes - Ready Fire Aim - The Last Leaf Each drink was more impressive than the last. Huge shoutout to Tye (sp?) and Ana for creating both an exceptional experience and cocktails. Also Simon the bouncer is a great prankster.
An unforgettable experience at Employees Only thanks to Kevin 🙌. The cocktails were simply out of this world: each drink was crafted with such creativity and balance of flavors that felt unimaginable. No exaggeration—it was truly some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had in my life 🍸✨. The service was impeccable, the attention top-notch, and the atmosphere spectacular. Kevin has an incredible talent behind the bar, turning every drink into a true masterpiece. I 100% recommend this place. If you want to experience world-class cocktails and a truly unique vibe, Employees Only with Kevin is the perfect spot.
A super busy bar but had some of the best cocktails we had all trip. As I understand, it's a spot that many in the industry go to and I can see why!
Such a cool cocktail bar🍸 The cocktails were amazing and you can sit at the table or stand at the bar. Around 10 there was a long queue bc the venue is not that big but super cozy with 60’s vibes
Been going here for nearly 10 years… before I used to go late night and now I just love it at 6pm! Early to avoid the line & crowd, to catch the skylight and have a nice dinner with great cocktails. EO is one of the few bars in NY where people (even strangers) talk to each other and are not on their phones the entire time. Every drink is solid and there is a cocktail for every palate. The EO vibe is super special - you’ll have to experience it to know its magic.
We didn’t have a reservation on a Saturday night. So had to wait in line for about 10 mins before they could accommodate us near the bar area. The bar was amazing and extremely crowded, but because we were at the bar, the service was quick. The drinks are extremely innovative and tasty! I would definitely be back for more.
Amazing atmosphere with a vintage twist! Employees Only truly lives up to its reputation. The interior design feels like you’re stepping into a 1920s speakeasy — warm lighting, wood panels, and cozy booths give it an elegant but relaxed vibe. The service was attentive, and the cocktails were outstanding — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. Perfect spot for a night out or date night. Highly recommended!
Definitely one of my favorite spots in NYC, the people behind this place are amazing, phenomenal cocktail programs and the food it’s really outstanding, if you are the area its kinda mandatory to stop by and check this place out. The Ñoqui and caramel cheesecake are my favorite items.
Complete and delicious experience from start to finish. Delicate and gorgeous cocktails, we had the Amelia and Isabella. Oysters came with homemade sauces. Table-side steak tartar is one of the best Ive had. Portions are massive on the schnitzel. We enjoyed everything and service was impeccable.
One of my favorite bar programs in the city (its LA outpost is equally good). I forget its name but had one of the most memorable cocktails I've tried in years, featuring raspberry and cream cheese. …

Once considered a standout among New York’s speakeasies, this bar still delivers well-executed cocktails that meet expectations in terms of balance and technique. However, in the context of an increasingly competitive cocktail scene, it now feels somewhat overshadowed — particularly when it comes to creativity in presentation and the use of innovative ingredients. That said, the quality remains solid, and for those seeking a classic speakeasy experience with reliably crafted drinks, it still holds its place.
Thought this bar vibe was amazing, but they need more gin and vodka drinks for those who don’t drink whiskey. It’s overpowered by whisky in my opinion, so not the most balanced offerings on the menu. Lovely staff and bar though. Worth the wait just for that.
From what we heard, this spot used to be a go-to, but is now a bit overcrowded and rowdy for the vibe intended. The bar is super classy, servers have great recommendations, and the drinks are top tier, but we could barely find a place to stand and enjoy our drinks. If I had a redo, I would've tried to go early on a weekday or skip this spot in favor of places where you can enjoy your drink and some conversation with friends!
The place looks very cool. \nDrinks were very tasty, I had the Amelia and the Isabella. Both were fresh/sweet. \nThe food definitely left more to be desired specially given how hyped this restauran…

Bartenders were friendly and quick even when crowded. Drinks were balanced and presentation was clean. Best for a lively night rather than a calm chat.

The bone marrow was delicious! The drinks were mid. It’s way to loud and crowded there so not a good place if you’re trying to celebrate or have a date
A mixed experience. The food was good, but not spectacular - the burger was kind of a classic pub burger, lettuce, tomato, cheese. I wasn’t disappointed with it, but it wasn’t something I’d go out of my way to eat again. The schnitzel was a little below average - oddly bone-in, and the seasoning was very low. We also thought the bone marrow poppers were a pretty poor appetizer for the cost, and were very disappointed there. The cocktails were good and we were happy with all of them - the Isabella in particular was delicious and beautiful. The service from our waitress was amazing - she was incredibly kind and helpful, but the security and host started our reservation off wrong. We adhered to the dress code in the email, which they are strict about and I suggest you follow to the letter. No mention of shorts, however, and initially security denied us entry for the fact I was wearing shorts. As we were pulling up the reservation, they admitted other patrons in torn jean shorts, and it wasn’t until I protested that the dress code was inconsistently followed that they admitted us for our reservation. The dinner was to celebrate a promotion, and I really felt this out a damper on the evening - it’s a real shame, since our actual waitress was great!
waited a while in line and warmly received by doorman. Great late night vibe, too bad about the server. Spent 5 night in Manhattan and tall girl with the long dark hair is the rudest person that we…
The bartenders insisted on doing shots with us and ended up charging us $100 extra for their drinks. Worst place ever.

Very rude staff, definitely not worth the hype! Coctails & music ok, but the waiters re extremely rude to the limits of aggression. There are far better options in NY
