"[[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a bar in the subway and it's amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we were trying to find a cool spot to go after our Broadway play, I looked towards the Infatuation app and we were close to this Bar. When we put the directions in, we could not find this location, which is funny because I looked and it said it was in the subway, literally. Such a fun spot, excellent cocktails and extremely nice bartenders! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great spot to go after a show.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can order pizza nearby and bring it into the bar if you get hungry! Cheers. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of a "Speakeasy" was there, but the hidden door aspect was not there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did my research for all the "Speakeasy"-like bars in NYC and this one was mentioned numerous times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some people even stated they had difficulty finding the front entrance, but when we got there, the front door was wide open, which disappointed me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once inside, the hostess/server was extremely helpful and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting was great and the bar was amazing, but unfortunately, the pictures online looks better than the bar in person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar looks huge online, but it's actually quite "cozy".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were great and quite strong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was a great bar, but not really a "Speakeasy" IMHO.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of my favorite bars in all of NYC. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's such a cool hidden spot in the subway[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the bartenders were AMAZING. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice dark, chill, relaxing place, that is open late[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and also serves pizza with the place next door. My best friend and I were there in August and I knew I had to take her here. Mia was our server and she was the BEST! I'll be back soon :) Highly recommend!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This speakeasy was definitely a mission to find since it's literally inside a train station.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you're in, it's a cool little spot and surprisingly not busy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only had one drink and it was just okay, nothing crazy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was probably my favorite part.

While on a work trip in NYC and waiting for our dinner reservation to come around at a nearby restaurant, we decided to pop into Nothing Really Matters. We expected this to be somewhat of a speakeasy but really this was just a bar in the subway area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The room was dark and the music was really loud so I didn't have high hopes (especially as I'm there with colleagues) but gave it a try anyways.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After reviewing the menu, I decided on the "I'm Not a Player" as I like the banana infusion and was pleased when it arrived because of the presentation (nicely done). I took a sip and was surprised at how strong it tasted but I would never complain about that! After just one drink, we had to go and I was surprised that I was tipsy after just one drink and my colleagues all noted the same. While the prices aren't cheap by any means, I was pleasantly surprised by the strength and taste of the drinks! [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, the place isn't my usual vibe but I'm glad we stopped in to give it a try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Received our drinks and wasn't checked on for 2 hours and 15 min. We needed a place to stay until our flight left so it wasn't the worse thing but I didn't like lh drink and she delivered it spilled so I needed a napkin. She walked past us several times and the other bartenders saw us and yet no one checked on us The server hung around these two men the entire time We had to ask for the bill before leaving. The bartender knew exactly what drinks we had and he wasn't even the one who took our order. Highly disappointed with the service [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only plus about this place was the music was great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm so glad my friend brought me here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an absolute gem! It feels like a very chic hole in the wall and the overall vibe is cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the espresso martini and the picture should speak for itself... beautiful presentation and so tasty. It has a touch of cinnamon that is to die for. Joseph & Faith took care of us and they were wonderful! So quick and attentive. You can also order pizza off the menu from the place next door and they deliver it to you. We of course indulged and it was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

You can only expect wonderful things when you're walking into a speakeasy in a subway station in NYC. And wonderful drinks and people is exactly what we were met with (both nights). Faith is officially one of our favorite bartenders in the city. Her smile brightens up your day immediately, AND she can make killer cocktails. I am so glad we only live a few blocks from here. While we can only enjoy this while our kids are away with the grandparents this week, we do plan to figure out how to sneak here for a drink once they are back home! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is very chill. Granted, we went on a Sunday/Monday night, but even when it's busy I don't see it being overly wild :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such an interesting divey cocktail club-esque nook that can be found in the way to the subway![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated quickly with a group of 8, and each enjoyed a different classic or signature cocktail! Friendly service overall and definitely an interesting spot! They have a food menu for the pizza place next door! read more

I've been here a couple of times and it was a good experience. The place is located going down to the 1 train on 50th next to See No Evil pizza also good. The bar/speakeasy is dark and moody atmosphere with an awesome music playlist. It's on the smaller side so it can gets crowded quick. The service was excellent each time. The bartenders that stood out was a young lady with brown hair I forgot her name but she made an very good drink. Also the two fellas Sky and Salon(sorry if that's not the spelling) both can make a good azz drink. I order an old fashioned & a smoked old fashioned both were very delicious no complaints. I also tried one their signature drink the cloak and dagger. Its similar to an old fashion but they add Twany port. It wasn't bad but I think the port gave it an after taste that wasn't great for me. You can also order pizza from the spot next door and it was good. If your in the area this is a great place to check out. A+ I do recommend. read more

Came here after attempting to escape the rain. A hidden bar in the subway. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience wise, it's a small space with some high top tables and bar seating, nor real decor other than the bottles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No happy hour so drinks range from $19-$ 40s, so expensive. The bartender was talented, nice, and made a well crafted drink. I got a run based drink that had a nice balance and packed a punch. read more

A great place to take a date that you don't wanna hear yapping! The music is so loud, don't expect to be able to have any conversations with any of your friends. Came here on a Monday night and was able to get a reservation easily. Got the espresso martini which was super enjoyable with the perfect balance of espresso to vodka. I loved the set up of all the bottles and of course a speakeasy in the subway is cool af. Just would not come here with the intentions of having good conversations as we even asked if the music would be turned down just a tad bc it was at a good level until a group of ladies got real routy and had asked them to turn up the music. They said no lol which I'm all about having fun but I think it's important to consider everyone. read more

A speakeasy in a subway station?! Sign me up! Stopped through on a recent visit to Midtown. The vibe was cool. The music was good and the drinks were great! Our bartenders showcased an extensive knowledge on several different liquors. From rum to gin, they can make anything! Price point was good for it to be NYC as well. Attached is a pizzeria if you require something to nosh on! Will patronize again! read more

Ordered: Cherish (~$19): pineapple gin, strawberry infused fiero, strawberry, and lemon She Drives Me Crazy (~$19): vodka, combier watermelon, amaro, basil, watermelon, and lime Aya's take: Tucked away by the subway station entrance, we decided to grab a quick drink around 8pm on a Friday. It was busy! We were able to snag a spot at the bar. This place feels like a speakeasy; dark, dim, with red lights, yet has a trendy and contemporary feel to it. Honestly, I spent way too long looking at the menu and nothing stood out to me. We decided to go with Cherish and She Drives Me Crazy. Both were a bit too sweet for my liking and I felt that some of the flavors were overpowering others. I wish I had gotten a recommendation from the bartender instead because they seem pretty knowledgeable on crafting drinks. It's also super loud in here; so if you're looking for a spot to wind down or have a conversation, this isn't it. Glad I checked this out and don't forget, Nothing Really Matters! read more

I LOVE THIS BAR! I've lived in NYC for 10 years now and I still think it's one of the coolest places in the city. A lot of people downtown don't know about it or come here, so for me, it's a nice escape from that downtown crowd and it's fun to experience something different. The cocktail program is top-notch and so well thought out, there are multiple areas for seating, and even a space you can rent out for bdays. And the djs are always playing fun and upbeat music. Whenever someone asks me where to go out for drinks in Midtown, I always suggest this place. read more

Really cool vibes! Loved the people and drinks. There was a line to get in Saturday night but it wasn't too long and it moved pretty quickly. They played great music. It was pretty loud though. I had the espresso martini and the winter wonderland. The espresso martini was very good. Loved the flavor but wish it was more foamy since it said foam in the description. The winter wonderland was fun. Maybe a bit too sweet. Overall a fun bar to hang out at but not that great for conversation. read more

My coworker and I wanted to check out a nearby bar before calling the night. We walked to Nothing Really Matters and had difficulty finding it. Had to read some reviews before realizing it's literally down in the subway station lol. Since it's weekday at 10pm, there wasn't much of a crowd. We had no issues sitting at the bar and ordering our drinks. I asked the bartender if I can get a bubbly, fruity, and refreshing drink. He said yes and even used real champagne! Great music and vibes! read more

Lively AF! Shoutout to JC - what a brilliantly attentive bartender! Location - enter the subway and you'll hear the Dj. Amazing music. It's very chill so if there are spots at the bar (if you haven't reserved) go for it. Be nice and swap with other people too Tbh I didn't like anything on the menu and asked JC to make me something fruity but less sweet. He made something I asked for something stronger he added a shot of mezcal again and it became a very tasty but potent drink. Btw JC kept us hydrated the entire time. We loved it. Drinks are 19-25$! You will have a good time I promise you :) read more

Despite being kind of hidden, it wasn't too hard to find this speakeasy. I got a mocktail--blackberry shrub and my sister got something boozy that was super tasty. For $6 you can get a big bowl of popcorn to share. The bar gets busy quickly. We went right after a 2 o'clock off broadway show, just after 4 o'clock and it started to fill up by the time we left about 45 minutes later. There's dark moody, disco vibes. The drinks were good, but not absolutely great. The service was really great. read more

I ran into this bar around 12:30a on a whim and I'm glad I tried it out! It's tucked into a subway station entrance near Times Square. There was no cover charge which was great after a long evening of dishing out cash. The drinks are around $20-22 each but they were very delicious. I enjoy a perfectly crafted cocktail so I got two lemon drops and the total was $44. There were reserved signs on all the tables but they assured us that we could go ahead and sit down. The bar is full stocked with whatever you might like and a million other options too. The music ranged from R&B, latin and rap while and the manager said the music changes depending on the DJ. They don't take song request btw. read more

This speak easy is super cool and the fact that it's in the subway makes it that much more interesting. Just take the downtown train to 50th and it's right outside the turnstiles. You don't even have to go to the street level. It's mainly a bar but you can order some Pizza and a few other items off the menu from the Spot next door. They'll bring it right in. The pizza is good too! Definitely did the job for me and the crew. They also have some great DJs that mix it up with great music. That's a plus. The service is also great! They're a super accommodating, fun and welcoming. So if you're looking for a cool speak easy this is definitely one to check out! Have a great day everyone! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here for drinks and a snack after a show. We absolutely loved it here. For food, we got a margherita pizza with prosciutto and it was absolutely delicious. Our first round of drinks were an espresso martini and a bee's knees. I loved the cinnamon and nutmeg in the espresso martini. The second round we got the milk & cookies and the chai tai. We got the chai tai iced and even though it was cold, you could still taste the spices in it. The milk and cookies was my favourite drink of the night. It was fun and delicious, and I love horchata anything. The staff was very nice and the bar itself is really cute. We definitely plan on coming back to try more drinks! read more

The bar is hidden downstairs in the subway station. (it was almost immediately once you went downstairs. The location was walkable for us right after seeing the play Chicago. no signage because it is a speakeasy.)The drinks were amazing. They had hot craft cocktail options, which was great for us on a cold day. The biggest surprise was the pizza! We had a pepperoni pizza that consisted of six amazing slices and was perfect for us three girls. Our server was a breath of fresh air, but I can't remember her name. She was brunette with long hair and so fun we would've invited her to come sit with us! read more
