(Example: Wine $12, beer $7, water $2) We enjoyed the requisite emcee's spiel and he fulfilled his duty well. There were 4 comics performing the evening we attended and I'd only make an effort see Tommy Brennan again. He also happens to be a current cast member on SNL now. The other 3 comics were OK, but not memorable. Was shocked that one mentioned credentials of being a former SNL writer. Venue was fine, but a bit crowded with people bumping into chairs whenever waitstaff passed by. Somewhat annoying.

Overall: C // 3 stars…read more A review of mostly the food given that this is a food page -- the vibes are great, with interesting comedy acts that do bring in laughs. However, I greatly struggled to meet the two item per person requirement as their drinks are all alcohol-forward with little coverage of other palettes; the food is more interesting, but also significantly limited compared to the menu online. That said, the staff exceeded expectations in quality of service and I commend that aspect. (Beef Sliders: D) - Love the wasabi ketchup, but the rest of the dish reminds me of the unpleasantness of school cafeteria burgers. (Passion and Heat: D) - I was expecting a sweet and slightly spicy palette for this drink, but found this to be acidic-forward, but not from notes of citrus, which was not pleasant. (Pineapple Vodka: D) - This drink tastes like if you mixed a small amount of pineapple juice without added sugar into a lot of vodka. It's mildly pineapple, and mostly vodka-forward, and would've benefitted from sugar. Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: +1 Service: +1 Menu: -1 Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

Raines Law Room Chelsea is one of those places where the experience starts before you even sit…read moredown. The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

Service is fast and friendly, and the food is pretty good too. My one complaint is that it is extremely loud! My ears actually hurt after watching one of the Knicks games. I wish they would turn the volume down for the music and the broadcast. My friends who were there had to wear earplugs, which I would have used if I had them. For that reason, I'm hesitant to come back, but if that excites you, I think you would love this place.

I was killing time before a show, otherwise you'd never catch me dead in this part of town. It was busy, but service was prompt. They have basics, cosmo, martinis, margarita, aviation, jack and soda, mules, and cheap wine. Food includes salads, Rubens, chicken sandwiches, pizzas (but do you really wanna get your New York style pizza from here?). Lots of shareable apps like quesadillas, wings, shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries, sliders, nachos. They also have burgers. Again, not fancy, not mind-blowing. But an easy place to step into a chill for a while when you have some time to kill on broadway.

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary so we got a reservation, and we had a great time. Service here was absolutely wonderful. We first got their Golden Cobra and their Shinebox. The Golden Cobra was so good. A hint of coffee, passionfruit, and bitters made the cocktail so enjoyable. Their Shinebox ended up being a lot stronger than I expected and so I kindly asked our amazing server if I could get a different one. He ended up surprising me with their Rosalie. Absolutely amazing. The bar also celebrated our anniversary with us by writing us a lovely card and giving celebratory champagne. Loved the ambiance here, stellar service, and absolutely phenomenal drinks.

Perfectly cooked shrimp with a rich, creamy texture that did not feel too heavy. The Bonfire cocktail was well balanced, and memorable, and the Gardenia flavored hookah was smooth, and long lasting, adding to the overall vibe. Ambiance is where this place really shines. Dim lighting, good music, and an energy that builds as the night goes on. It is the kind of spot where you come for dinner, and end up staying awhile. Solid service throughout. This is quickly becoming one of my go to spots, and I am already planning to visit again on my next trip to New York.

We walked down these creepy stairs, and through a creepy alley, where I saw a giant rat running around. He said it used to be way darker, and there's now lights, and previous dates have been totally sketched out and thought he was going to murder them lol. Came here on a Wednesday night around 9:15pm. Plenty of seats available, and we settled on a nice red velvet couch in front of a coffee table. Got a Corpse Reviver in a teacup. No glasses, as the tea cups were a way to "disguise" the drinks. Absolutely gorgeous room, complete with chandeliers and crimson couches. The phone booth by the men's bathroom is apparently a famous makeout spot--people would close themselves in there for makeout sessions. Definitely a great spot to come to check off a list of New York speakeasies to visit!

We were seated on the upper level which looks really nice by the middle tables sharing the space with other people. I noticed they had a booth available and asked our server if it was possible to switch which she was nice enough to agree and helped us moved. Food and drinks were great. Hookah was good and I loved that it's kept being refill without being asked! Since they weren't super busy and had mostly large groups coming in, we were enjoying ourselves relaxing. This changed when I believe our server left or changed shift. There was this black girl who kept going around and kept looking at our booth clearly wanting us to leave. She ruined it for us. I understand if they need the booth but didn't seem like it so found it very annoying her behavior, forcing us to leave. The first girls were super friendly and amazing but not her.
