The original NYC speakeasy-revival bar since 2004 — white jackets, serious technique, and late-night food, with a psychic at the door who sets the tone. Order classic cocktails — Manhattan, Negroni, any stirred drink — and use the excellent late-night kitchen; trust the white jackets, perfecting these since 2004. Come late for the full experience; the kitchen serves until close, reservations accepted. It is essential West Village — the bar that launched the speakeasy revival, where the white-jacketed precision, the late kitchen, and the door psychic combine into a complete experience. For classic cocktails and proper food deep into the night, at the place that started the modern speakeasy era two decades ago, it remains a defining New York bar.
