    The place is simply decorated. It gives off big but it's a decent space. The tables are pretty close to each other. Appetizers: beef quesadillas were not good. They weren't terrible or anything just a heavy salty mess with no other flavor to them. The corn tempura was delicious. I highly recommend. How they got those kernels of corn in a ball and fried it like that is genius. They had great flavor. The crispy rice with tuna was enjoyable. Light flavor and satisfying. The bao buns were dry and so was the meat in them. Avoid. The Peppers were nice. Our steak was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed it. I don't recommend the fries, they're very skinny and you don't get the satisfaction of a meaty fry. We also ordered mashed potatoes and they were very creamy. We were happy with them. Dessert: carrot cake and a chocolate individual cake. Neither was good honestly. It's avoid Dessert here. The mococktails are good.

    Very cute and classy restaurant. Aesthetically pleasing but food is a lot more on the pricey side and would only recommend you go for special occasions. If you want a fine dining experience it was spot on. Staff was great from the moment you walk into the restaurant, to when you leave. Food was good but not great lack of flavor for some of the entrees. The appetizers were better.

    Beef Wellington, Wagyu bolognese, blistered shishito peppers and black truffle mashed potatoes.

    Excellent! Great vibe. Very popular. Was here for a small get together with a good friend who has been here before. This place is popular and the service is as is expected for a restaurant of this type. Wait at the bar and fight for an opportunity to have a drink. I feel bad for those who eat at the bar as people are constantly coming up behind them and getting drinks through them. Food was delicious. See pics. Standouts were: Beef Wellington Wagyu bolongese Quesadillas Seabass crudo Great place and cool vibe. Will be back!

    Beefbar has a large space in the heart of Tribeca, with bouncers standing outside. It's a bit of a scene, but has the flexibility to cater to different types of patrons. There is bar seating, lounge seating, as well as a main dining room. Our group last minute requested to add 2 people to our reservation, and they were able to accommodate that. Food wise, the menu has a lot of options at various price points. They offer complimentary spiced crackers to begin. My party did not order anything from the pricier steak offerings. We stuck to the street food page and ordered many for the table to share. We got the croque sando, bao bun, Japanese milk bread, rock corn, crispy rice, and seasonal heirloom tomatoes dish. Also tried the truffle fries and jalapeño mash. Standouts for me were the croque sando, rock corn, truffle fries, and Japanese milk bread. The rock corn is prepared similarly to shrimp tempura, which was a fun take. Overall, it was a nice evening with good dishes.

    My friends have been to Beefbar a few times and took me while I'm visiting. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - great vibes, music, and interior decor. Our waitress was super pleasant and checked in on us often. Food, on the other hand, was just average at best. There wasn't a specific dish or cocktail (color of money) that blew my mind for the price. Believe it or not, I thought the best tasting ones were the strawberry cheesecake, truffle fries with pieces of truffles, and the spinach salad. My least favorite were the croque sando and the bao buns. The croque sando sauce was a bit overpowering and the beef inside tasted like tender beef jerky. It was interesting. As for bao buns, the presentation was cool with the smoke but the filling tasted like shredded beef drenched in sweet hoisin sauce for lack of better description. Wagyu burger and Wagyu bolognese were just okay.

    Outstanding ambiance and service! The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and clean. I stopped in the bar area and ,while it was quite busy, I immediately got service. The staff were polite and attentive.

    The food and drinks were good. They hand stuff the olives for dirty martinis. So good! Opted for a number of appetizers and then splitting the bolognese and cheesecake - next time I would definitely opt for steak. I was a little confused by how nutty they were about the dress code leading up considering some of the people we saw there. Most people were dressed to the nines but a girl at the table next to us was in an adidas track suit and we saw a whole group of guys in denim and T shirts.

    We celebrated a birthday at BeefBar, and overall it turned into a wonderful night with incredible food and great service. We started with two appetizers, the Croque Sando made with dry-aged beef ribeye ham, mozzarella, and La Sauce, and the Wagyu Quesadillas filled with braised Wagyu beef, Oaxaca cheese, and black truffle. Both dishes were rich, unique, and absolutely delicious. A perfect start. For dinner, we ordered the 10oz American Wagyu filet with sides of bacon and shishito peppers, and the Wagyu Bolognese, homemade pappardelle with a Wagyu beef ragu and Parmesan. Every bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, the textures were perfect, and both dishes were cooked beautifully. Dessert was an unexpected highlight. They were out of the one dessert we wanted since my boyfriend has a nut allergy and couldn't have most of the desserts, but our waiter surprised us with two complimentary desserts in honor of the birthday celebration, such a thoughtful gesture. The only downside was our arrival. The hostess was noticeably snooty, which definitely put a damper on the excitement we had walking in, hard to imagine that still happening in 2025. Thankfully, our waiter, the ambiance, and the food turned the night around completely. In the end, it was a great birthday dinner and a well spent $500 for two.

    Went here for my girlfriend birthday. First things first the location is gorgeous it's the old Nobu. I think the lounge is best to dine in on weekends for the live DJ & vibes if you're young. Now let's get to the food. They are best for small bites order from the street food section and you won't be disappointed. I think because they are a Monaco themed restaurant it's tricky to nail Italian and French at the same time but I think their Japanese and Mexican selection work well lol. I love the milk bread and wagyu quesadillas. I should have ordered double quesadillas instead of the wagyu pasta. I heard to stay away from the steak ironically so I guess it was slow stakes getting the pasta lol. Annie was a great help she was very knowledgeable and treated my girl to champagne and crème brûlée at the end of the night. I'd definitely come back to catch a vibe

    Excellent Service. Beautiful space - would recommend dining in the Lounge bc of the live dj. Would recommend ordering a bunch of items of the "street food menu" - everything is so good.

    Ribeye and sides
    Alex R.

    The space is really nice , has that Vegas vibe with a bit of member club feel. We got seated promptly. The menu is eclectic to say the least. The cocktails read better than the food with prices to match. Speaking of, everything is $25+ going upwards of $500 for wagyu ribeye . We opted for wagyu sando (skip) and quesadillas (repeat) which were more like mini tacos . We also split a ribeye and 2 sides. The beef was excellent and well medium rare prepared as ordered. The truffle mash and Brussels were good. The sprouts were more memorable than truffle mash. They were well charred with a nice citrus finish. I could have eaten a whole side by myself but of course shared :) . Total damage was $280 for 2, tip included . Hardly bargain but not ultimately not memorable for me to come back on repeat

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it.

I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show.

There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

    It's an enjoyable bar. It's slightly hidden away inside of an office building two flights down via…read morethe escalator next to the Alamo Drafthouse. Nice selection of alcohol, friendly bartenders and attentive service. Since it was tucked away it wasn't as crowded and I was able to spend an hour catching up with my friend and it wasn't overly crowded or loud.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
