Would give this 3.5 stars. The atmosphere and vibe of the space was very cool. Paneled walls with intimate booth seating areas separated by hanging beads and low light lighting made for a classic speakeasy feel. Drinks we had- Pagoda Royale w/gin; Queen of the Night, Dragon Tail, bartenders choice, and a village mule mocktail. The drinks were just fine but not overly exciting Food - sliders, truffle fries, and croquettes. The croquettes and truffle fries had great flavor. The fries were a little annoying to eat though because they were mostly all small pieces. The sliders would have been better balanced with a sharper cheese or tomato jam. The disappointing thing was that we had selected Coby Club for the live music but the performer only did two songs. We initially thought that she was just opening but no additional performer came on. Not really sure if that is normal or not.

Tl;dr - Vibes are immaculate but everything else is incredibly underwhelming. Coby Club is meant to be reminiscent of 1950s San Francisco Chinatown. The decor emulates just that, and the music is sultry and alluring. They take reservations via Resy, and every table fills up quickly. We had a group of 3 and got a whole couch area to ourselves, so it felt comfortable and roomy. They have different performers throughout the week, and I went on a night where it was a burlesque show. The performance was great but shorter than I thought. When I go to a bar like this I expect cocktails to be expertly crafted. In theory, all cocktails on the menu sound creative and all infused with Asian-inspired flavors. The execution however, was lacking. The Beijing sling tasted like bitter bath water. The monkey temple incorporated eggwhites which is usually an indicator of a good craft cocktail, but the way it was blended weighed the drink down too much and was difficult to stomach. The bar for my expectations was already on the floor but somehow the food plunged the bar to new depths. For bar food I don't expect anything particularly amazing but.. yikes. The fries were unevenly salted; some pieces were as salty as the sea, some were as bland as paper. Bang bang shrimp straight up tasted microwaved. The firecracker shrimp from your local Trader Joe's is less likely to disappoint you.

Had reservations for this swanky place on a Friday night at 6:30 pm. The entrance was a bit difficult to find but it's basically a small alley entrance next to the Elmo restaurant. I believe it's part of the Elmo restaurant so you can probably also enter through there. Upon arriving we got our ID's checked the. We got to pick any of the comfy lunge seating available to sit at. My friend and I ordered two cocktails and shared sliders and truffle fries. The food was delicious and loved the ambience. It was beautifully decorated and great place for a date or girls night out. Overall, cute and fun place but felt a bit rushed by our waiter which was annoying especially on a weekend.

Walmart-quality, soggy charcuterie board served on plastic.

Went for NYE as they had a ticketed event that seemed great on paper.. we paid $130 each with taxes and fees, and left quite disappointed. This NYE ticket was a TOTAL SCAM. There was one off-key singer on the mic for maybe a total of 15 minutes over the course of the 2 hours we were there. Zero instruments in sight (a crime for a jazz club). The service was awful as we asked for water 3 times and it took my boyfriend going to the bar himself to get it. The "small bites" were a Walmart quality charcuterie board and beyond soggy. Also served on a disposable plastic tray. Barf. The champagne served at midnight for a midnight toast was undrinkable. Truly criminal given how much we paid for these tickets. The drinks on the menu were fine, but subpar for NYC standards. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

This place was so beautiful, definitely worth the wait. Been dying to go back to New York to go here. We just went for drinks and small bites before dinner. Definitely a favorite now.. Our service was fast , food and drinks were great. A great place for date night or fun with friends.

I loved this spot! The vibe is dark, swanky, sexy, and cool. The decor had a throwback vibe. I read that there were pop up performances and definitely didn't expect a burlesque strip tease! She rocked it and it was so fun. Make sure to get the last drink on the menu (if only I could remember what it was!)

This place was so cute! My friend told me about this place because of TikTok (loll) took my friends from out of town here- so it seemed like I was a coool New Yorker! The drinks were delicious, the live music was tasteful, and the ambience was amazing. Cute spot for a date night or a night to impress your friends. It is a tad dark in there butttt it's part of the vibe. Also, the service was great. Very attentive and nice, didn't feel ignored at all

Amazing martini so well made.

I discovered Colby Club and we waited less than 5 minutes on line. We got a table and ordered 2 cocktails. Ambience was great and service was good. Until they were closing and the server he forgot my friends 2nd drink order and was so rude about it. He had a terrible smirk on his face. He only brought out mine and not hers. I mean who turns down business? lol

Tucked away from the streets of New York, Coby Club is located underground with a small entrance on 6th. The speakeasy was intimate, with a menu and venue inspired by Chinese tastes. We made a reservation for a table and there was a large selection of food and drink items to pick from. The service was very quick. Overall, a good time at the Coby Club.

The drinks are good at the show is amazing and the decor or so nice. however, the hostess is the most miserable person I've ever seen in my life. Almost seems like an angry robot or maybe having a mental health crisis. I would like to find out when she's not here and come back.

Had a great time at Coby Club. Music is pretty loud. Make a reservation if you want a couch/lounge chair otherwise there is bar seating available. Good ambiance and vibe. Drink menu doesn't have prices. I got the pineapple mexcal drink which was very good. I'll be back!

I'm giving this a three stars for the ambiance. We made a reservation and we're seated right away. Unfortunately our seat was right by the bathroom which isn't too much a of a problem, it was still a nice set up but, it was really awkward having people walk in and out in front of us. The only thing I have a problem with was the service. Our server whom I forgot to catch her name took 30 minutes to get us our waters and then we had to ask twice for someone to get the drinks we ordered. By this time we were still waiting on the small appetizer we ordered and when she finally came to our table she informed us they actually weren't serving it anymore and the kitchen was closing soon. I really wanted to love this place and would still recommend it if you're looking for somewhere to sit and not get your drinks and food right away. Xx

No b.s., just vibes. Cheese board was worth every penny. The music soothed the ears. Damn I was born in the wrong era... Simply bliss.

Thyme used to be a fun, charming spot that I genuinely enjoyed visiting and bringing out-of-town…read morefriends to. I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

My expectations were high for my first NYC speakeasy. TLDR version - disappointing and not planning…read moreto return. Easy to find if you know what you're looking for, if you arrive right at 5pm on a cold weeknight in the winter, you'll easily find a table or seat at the bar. Very cute space, cozy like everyone says, but nothing mind blowing. Music is moderately loud. The menu in early February still included their winter holiday cocktails. I was more interested in the apple sage house-made fermented soda, and it was pretty good-large glass, flavorful and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her pomegranate version. The space started to fill up at around 5:30. Service was polite when you could get it, but generally very inattentive, even before it got busy. It honestly didn't feel too different from anu other very nice NYC bar, in terms of menu selection, prices, ambiance and service. Maybe that's standard for NYC speakeasies, but the places I frequented in other cities were more fun and felt more worth the price. I'll still give another NYC spot a try, but not coming back to Thyme.

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

The Strange Magic (vodka, prosecco, strawberry, citrus) was my favorite drink I tried there Vibes: Intimate, low lighting, but enough space at the booths and bar to go with a small group of friends. Clean bathroom too. The bar/speakeasy was much bigger than the coffee shop it was located behind HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

Come to Little Ned for fantastic cocktails in an intimate setting, you won't be disappointed…read more The space is gorgeous, with bar and table seating on the main floor, as well as some standing tables next to the bar if you can't find a seat right away. There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

Tusk Bar inside The Evelyn Hotel feels like stepping into a well-kept secret from another century…read more The space leans fully into that Prohibition-era Art Deco elegance, low lighting, polished brass, velvet everything. It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

It was a fun play with the green curry and saffron. This place is a little loud, so it is not easy to have a convo with your party. I am old so this probably wouldn't have been something I clocked in my younger years. They do have food which looks intriguing. Especially anything with truffles on it.
