Cool little dive bar with immaculate, cozy vibes and decent drinks. I got the Singapore sling, a gin forward sweet concoction. It was tasty with a good amount of alcohol. Service was decent and responsive. The decor walked a line of elegant with an edge. My favorite part was when noise of the patrons dimmed and the live bossa nova performance began. I'd love to come back just for the intimate jazzy experience. read more

What a cool and interesting lounge in NYC! This cool and retro bar has a speakeasy-vibe, and is rumored to have an eclectic rotating calendar of cool performers. We made reservations for a Tuesday night and stumbled into amazing vocals of a bygone era. The menu was interesting and creative, though you do pay on the high side of NYC prices. The staff were beautiful and everyone we encountered had personality! We had a great time, though as southern, had a bit of sticker shock when we received our bill. read more

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. read more

Amazing interior but the drinks are extremely disappointing. Went with a group of 5, and every drink was extremely lackluster. Not worth the visit tbh read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!) read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

I was so excited to try this spot, and I loved the execution of the decor and the vibe--as well as the incorporation of a live performer, but the service was consistently abysmal, and the product was fine, but ultimately way too standard and unexceptional to compensate. We were seated at "the bar" which I was pleasantly surprised is just a long high top--no sitting at the actual bar (fine at most spots, but felt like a place you wanted your cozy aside). Ordered two drinks along with a couple of sides (cheese plate, truffle fries). Drinks came reasonably enough. No food. For like a good 30 minutes. Couldn't find waitress, so had to go to the bar an inquire. Food came another 20+ minutes later--waitress admitted she completely forgot, apologized, so while a bit hangry, I figured no harm. Then we ordered a second round of drinks which again took forever to arrive, and came out wrong twice (waitress came by twice with wine, which we didn't order, and seemed alternately insistent or desperate that we just take the wine). I asked for the check as soon as the second round came, but we still had to remind her to bring it a second time as we were finishing. Nothing like being made to feel completely invisible. As noted, drinks were fine, but nothing of the quality I expect from an upscale cocktail bar/speakeasy at this price point. The midnight whiskey sour looked pretty and was good, though not an exceptional improvement on the original. And for all its ingredients, the Contessa felt like a glorified Negroni.  Food was equally fine, but not in any way special. Enjoyed the performer-- Natalie Joy Johnson--had the style and panache of a drag show. Can't help but wonder if our server, Heather, was having a bad night, or just not cut out for this. It's an interesting spot for sure, but that alone does not make for a place worth visiting. read more

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. read more

Had a really good experience here at Coby Club. Love love love the speakeasy vibes here, and even without a reservation you are able to be seated at the bar which is a lot of seating surprisingly. Service could have been a bit better but it was a Saturday night and I understand there were a lot of guests. Music was a bit loud but most of the songs fit the vibe. Drinks were good too. Would come back and bring other guests! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Found myself in the area and was delighted to be able to reserve a table for two for 8:15 last night. My girlfriend and I were severely underdressed; there was only one other person wearing a t-shirt, and he also looked somewhat self-conscious about it. I'd advise dressing to impress and wearing clothes that highlight your best features and assets. Entrance is a small doorway with a sharp young man standing in front. Once cleared to enter, descend a staircase and walk through the door on the right: someone will show you to your table. We received a pair of comfortable couches facing each other on either side of a long, narrow table. The decor is a huge draw. I bet it would blow your mind to be in here while micro-dosing as the fabrics, colors, textures, and designs are already quite a trip. I know nothing of the San Francisco nightclub scene that informs Coby's design, but I approve. The food menu is a brief selection of tapas-style small plates. The croquettes are phenomenal and the pizzetta also quite nice (red onions on pizza tickle my fancy). The cocktails are a huge draw. While we were ambivalent about the Pineapple Paradise and the Forbidden City (both good, quite sweet, not mind-blowing) , the Burnt Orange Old-fashioned and an extra dirty Bombay gin martini were ravishingly enjoyable. Strong, too. A jazz trio began playing standards, and we savored our drinks before heading out. While I would not recommend this place for large groups, it's an excellent second spot for a first date, and will likely win over your snootiest of friends. I'd like to return on a Saturday for burlesque, though there are performances every night of the week (calendar on their website). Next time, I promise to dress appropriately. read more

The drinks were pretty bad here. None of us like the drink. It is def a cozy and romantic place. They had music for 15 mins which felt very less. read more

I thought this would be the best way to end our New York trip. And honestly I think it was worth it. The vibe and the place checked out. We didn't do a reservation for this place but it's something you should definitely do as this place is small and can fill up fast. We got lucky that night since someone had cancelled a reservation. We got a table right by the jazz performer that night. Which honestly was pretty amazing. My friend and I had a great time enjoying the performance as we sipped on our espresso martinis. The service in this lounge was a little slow so we had to wait bit of time to order drinks. But otherwise this place was super cute and definitely a spot to check out when you come to NY. read more

Drink menu is limited, drinks aren't worth raving about, and service took longer than expected. The ambiance and music were great, nonetheless. There is an option for the bartender to build a drink around a spirit of your choice and unfortunately after asking something to be made out of Frangelico, the drink I received back was totally different. In summary, great environment but not so good drinks and service. read more

Had a reservation here on a Friday night and had the best seat in the house. This speakeasy is one of the best I've been to in the city. The vibes are early 1900s SF Chinatown. There was live music featuring era-appropriate songs so it literally felt like I was transported back in time. Every drink I ordered was fantastic and the service was so accommodating and attentive. Please date a friend or date here if you want to impress! read more

Cute spot. Will probable never go back. Very nice atmosphere and drinks were decent, but if you come for one of the burlesque shows you'll probably leave disappointed. Not sure if this is normal, but when we came last Saturday the performance only consisted of one dance. There was only one performer, who was absolutely fabulous, but she did one song and that was it. Was expecting maybe a costume change and another dance after a short break since she was solo, but that was not the case. Maybe there was another one later in the evening, but overall was much shorter of a set than I was expecting. Additionally, the service was abysmal. Horrendously slow and we kept having to re-ask for our order, waters, the check, etc. We were also seated at the "bar", which is not by the actual bar where they make drinks but rather a long skinny rail barely deep enough for a single plate with wobbly stools. Not very comfortable if you plan, as we had, to stay a while. read more

This new spot opened up recently and did not disappoint! I was able to book when a last minute resy popped up for 6pm. The staff was very friendly and not so snooty like other NYC cocktail bar venues, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The space is very intimate and cozy with jazz music in the background, perfect date vibes or a small gathering of friends. We ordered a round of the Miss Yee, Forbidden City, and Shanghai Nights. Shanghai Nights was my favorite, light and refreshing with açaí purée (a unique cocktail ingredient!). I would definitely try to come back when there are live performances. read more

05.20.2022 - No reservations available. Website states, "Walk-ins Welcome". I plan my night around going here with my wife and sister (who is visiting from N.C.). Woman at the door tells me they are packed and we cannot come in. I plead my case, respectfully, that the website states that walk-ins are welcome, and that several people have left. No dice. I ask if there is a manager available that I can plead my case with. The manager, "Kat" approaches, completely disinterested, and asks what is going on. I explain things to her. "I don't see why she would be lying", Kat says (woman at the door). "Nobody said she was", I reply. Again, I explain to Kat what the website says, people have left, etc. Complete disinterest. Kat tells us that we can't come in. I tell Kat she can expect, "three shit reviews", and on cue, she hastily walks off. Kat has been here before. Kat has zero patience, even when you are respectful. Kat is bad for business. Luckily for Coby Club and Kat, NYC is packed with so many people that poor reviews aren't impactful, so neither their business, nor Kat's job are at risk. Hopefully they realize how well off they'd be without her. On a side note, the woman at the door was completely professional and helpful.

We were kicked out. Read below. Made a reservation for 6 people.They sat me and two others and took our drink order. Two of us were wearing shorts. They then denied my friend upstairs because he was wearing shorts. When he pointed out that two of his friends downstairs were wearing shorts, they then came downstairs and kicked us out. We had no idea there was a dress code. It is 2022. What is this nonsense about a no shorts dress code? A woman with a skirt showing as much would have been welcomed. And to kick people out after you let them in and take their order?! That's classless. May NYC summer be brutally hot and they continue to have to deny themselves business. Happy pride! ‍ read more

Very cool subterranean lounge inspired by 1960s San Francisco Chinatown night life that serves great drinks and speakeasy vibes. The drinks we had were all unique and very well balanced and there's also a menu of small bites if you're feeling peckish. Coby Club it's located underneath a restaurant so if you want I think you could probably order from the menu upstairs because we were there for a little while and actually ordered a couple desserts from the restaurant that were really good! Overall it's a really really beautiful space the decor is very gorgeous and ornate, there's live music and mood lighting which make it a really wonderful spot for a date! read more

First of all. The hostess is a miserable b*tch. I will never come back here unless she is fired. We had a RESERVATION and were sat in the corner at a dirty high top table near the drafty door. I asked nicely if we could be moved to a booth, and the hostess said she "can't deal with me right now." An older gentleman came to ask her the same question directly after me, and she accommodated him. I have no idea why such a miserable human is working in the service industry. Be prepared to get discriminated against for no reason. Go somewhere else where you get treated better. Also drinks were mid and the food looked stale. read more

Please do yourself a favor and call ahead of time to make sure your "lounge seating" is not by the bathroom where the guests and wait staff are constantly walking in and out. Why would they even create a seating for two by the bathroom? Do they seriously think the customers will enjoy this? We booked this in advance and they should have let us know that we are getting the shit end of the stick. We asked the server if it's possible we can move to a better seat for two but he said the bar is fully booked and he might not be able to move us. Guess what, there were seatings for two but he didn't bother to check and move us there. This ruins the overall experience. I've never been so happy asking for the check, if we know where our server is... read more

A new lounge that opened up the past month or so that is already so popular. Arrived around 8pm and it was pretty low key but as the night went on, the place started to fill up. Great for small groups to grab drinks/tapas or a date night. It's underground with an intimate atmosphere. There's also live entertainment planned in the future once restrictions are more relaxed. read more
