An excellent Speakeasy with a great menu and lots of mystery. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and a true speakeasy is always a must do!

My boyfriend has always been interested in learning to make drinks and I found a mixology class to surprise him with for his birthday at this speakeasy. I’m so happy that we came. Eric the teacher of this class as well as the owner was nothing short of amazing. It was a small pubic class for about 9 but it felt very personable and it was easy for everyone to follow. Eric did a great job of walking us through how to make two very delicious drinks, step by step. All materials needed were provided to us (we even got to keep our kits to take home). Eric was knowledgeable, warm and very friendly. After we made each drink we got the opportunity sit down and enjoy our creations and just vibe. My boyfriend and I were very happy with the experience and I would definitely book again. Thank you Eric for such a wonderful time! I highly recommend his mixology class for anyone looking to try something new and fun.

Fantastic find! The staff were so kind and the drinks were perfect. Highly recommended! It was nice to be able sit and talk at a normal volume with background music, but I could also keep an eye on the Saturday games on several tvs.

Discovered this spot through a friend. It's a cool experience to walk through the custom tailored suit shop that acts as the front entrance and enter into the speakeasy. Has a cool vibe with dark interior design and a good amount of seating. Great service and good drinks. Will definitely be back

Incredibly cool cocktail bar!! The bar is hidden behind a suit store so it gives a definite speakeasy vibe. My boyfriend and I did a cocktail class with Eric and it was such a great experience! Not only were the cocktails incredible, but we also got to take home the supplies and recipes! The class was so much fun and we will definitely come back to the bar again with friends

I booked a cocktail class for a group of six and was incredibly impressed with the manager Eric who was attentive, kind and quick to respond during the booking process. The atmosphere and cocktails were AMAZING and they give each person their own cocktail tools. I ordered the food in advance and they had everything timed perfectly for us. We were not able to take our tools with us so Eric shipped them to all six of us individually. Whether for the class or just a beautiful bar and delicious cocktail, I highly recommend this speakeasy. 👍😊

Went here for a mixology class as a part of a work event and it was so much fun! The recipe was delicious and the space was really beautiful. We got to keep the tools we used to make the cocktails which were super nice. Will definitely be back to try their cocktails—especially the espresso martini which Jesse the host and instructor was so gracious enough to make for us to try!!

We found this speakeasy by chance on our way to dinner, which reminded me of a similar concept in Montreal. Once past the secret door, you will see a cozy “living room” with a few TV screens and a big screen behind the bar. I had the peat & tiki, and my partner got the mcAvoy as recommended by the waitress. I was surprised by how complex peat & tiki was - I tasted so many different flavors within one drink. The service was prompt and friendly. The decors were posh and sleek. It is hard to imagine how rowdy it could get during a major sport’s event.

Great drinks and great atmosphere! It’s (not so) hidden behind a tailor shop, which was quite fun. They charged me for a drink I didn’t ask for, but I didn’t mind because the drink tasted decent.

Swanky speakeasy with great vibes. I came here with friends on a Thursday night and we got seated pretty quickly without reservation. Service was great and drinks were really good. We loved the intimate space and overall ambience.

Took a cocktail making class with Eric and it was a BLAST! This was my first visit to NY and I came out for a work trip with a few friends. I've never taken a cocktail making class before, so this was my chance to actually learn how NOT to just toss things in a glass and hope for the best. We made two really good cocktails, and the classes did an excellent job of balancing knowledge with hands-on activities. Between drinks, we spent some time in the speakeasy. The atmosphere was great, things weren't too loud. In fact, there were a few couples who were doing date night alongside our group, and I think the atmosphere likely amplified that! Overall I would absolutely do this again. Can't wait for the next one!

An excellent Speakeasy with a great menu and lots of mystery. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and a true speakeasy is always a must do!

I took the craft cocktail class and it completely exceeded my expectations. We learned how to make two drinks from scratch – the Eastside and the French Martini – and both turned out incredible. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience feel approachable, even for beginners. It wasn’t just about following a recipe; we really got into the why behind each ingredient, from muddling fresh mint and cucumber for the Eastside to mastering the perfect shake for that silky French Martini. The atmosphere was relaxed and interactive, and it felt like a perfect mix of learning and having a great time. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fun night out – whether you’re a cocktail newbie or already know your way around a bar.

this speakeasy is absolutely charming with such an intimate vibe! eric also made the cocktail making class a true blast. highly recommend checking this place out!

We had an amazing cocktail class here with Eric! He was fun, knowledgable and responsive throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a team event this was a great option. The drinks were delicious and all the staff was very helpful and engaged! The speakeasy portion is great to enjoy a drink after too!

Eric led a truly outstanding cocktail class for my partner and me! The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment we joined. It struck the perfect balance between instruction and interaction, making the experience both informative and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Hosted a private event at J. Bespoke - outstanding venue and service. The venue is a small, upscale speakeasy with sophisticated decor, plenty of seating and perfect audio / visual capabilities. Food and drink were both great, but the service is what made it such a great experience. The staff were incredibly easy to work with, able to accommodate every request, and paid attention to small details which made the event seamless. 10/10 would recommend!

A quaint and intimate bar lounge hidden inside a unique storefront that has good drinks and amazing food. The presentation and craftsmanship of the drinks was phenomenal, and the pizza with vodka sauce is a must try! I would definitely recommend making a reservation since space is so limited, but I will definitely be back!

J Bespoke hosted a cocktail making party for my friends and me in my apartment. It was absolutely fantastic. Eric, the owner, is super knowledgeable, friendly, humble and unassuming, but great at what he does. Cocktails were SO GOOD. Eric believes in natural, fresh ingredients, and you can tell — everything was very high quality. We loved it!!

Such a cool speakeasy! Took us a second to find the entrance as you can't see the bar from the outside. A hostess will greet you and check your coat before leading you into the bar. The atmosphere is great. It's a perfect location for drinks with friends, dates, etc. Very laid back vibe. While the drinks were good, they were a little on the pricey side and service was very slow. Didn't try any food so can't weigh in there. If you're looking for a cool place to talk, relax, and have a few drinks I'd recommend.

Great vibe, excellent food, and top-notch drinks. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and delivered fantastic service. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the awkward table design on one side of the room. The cylindrical bases don’t allow you to comfortably slide your legs underneath, which makes for some clumsy seating, entertaining to watch, but not ideal for settling in. That said, it’s still a great spot for a cocktail and bite. Definitely worth a visit!

Do not, under any circumstances, go here. I had a reservation to this place, and had to work late so I knew I couldn’t make it. I tried to call to move it (4 times to be exact) only to be completely ghosted and then charged $50. I have been here before as well. The drinks are way overpriced, atmosphere feels fake and there’s nothing cool or mysterious about this speak easy. Worst bar in New York, again, do not go here and definitely don’t make a reservation because you won’t be able to move or cancel it.
