Met this head waiter Dhruva at Junoon. Happened to run into him again at Room 207. He made the experience, highly recommend if you can find him!

Great service! Just celebrated a birthday here and it was exactly what I was looking for: chic speakeasy with live jazz, small bites, good cocktails.

I don’t usually rate cocktail bars, but this place is in a different league. First, it’s always great when the ice is shipped in from Japan. Second, their menu cocktails are premade and stored in a -16 degree Celsius freezer. The cocktails are very strong and beyond ice cold. The staff refreshes your glass to keep your drink the proper temperature. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable on their menu and on other cocktails as well. You can tell them what you like and they’ll make it (on the spot, so not as cold as the menu drinks). Live jazz on Friday nights. Definitely a bar like no other that I have been to in the city. Cocktails $22

It is a hidden bar….Nonspecific entrance… but once you are in , it’s completely a surprise. Limited food menu. The potatoes and cauliflower dishes were excellent. Amazing flavours. The drinks were just right. The cake was delicious.

Alec the hostess was super nice and was able to take my party as a walk-in! The drinks are alcohol heavy in a good way and unique. There was a wonderful singer who had a beautiful voice. Overall, the environment is super warm and cute. Def top speakeasy in NY to check out!

Brooklyn 🥃🌆 Dry, lightly bitter, and subtly cherry-nutty — Michter’s Rye, vermouth blend, maraschino liqueur, and Bigallet China-China. Classic structure. Downtown attitude. #Room207
