In a building shared with Theater 80, an amazing Crepe Counter (which used to serve as a dressing room for the theater) and the Museum of the American Gangster, visiting this Prohibition-era speakeasy feels like stepping back in time. Inside you’ll find the original bar, pictures of the Prohibition years, and safes (in the basement) where a previous (mobster connected) tenement kept millions of dollars as well as dynamite if he needed to get rid of evidence quick.
On top of all of it’s incredible history, our NY Cocktail Tour visits for the Absinth- they serve over a dozen varieties, and the well-versed bartenders can recommend one based on what you’re into. It’s even served in the traditional method; icy water dripped over a touched sugar cube. Still family owned since the 1960s, this is your classic neighborhood bar, with some very colorful history.
