O.M.C. absolutely captures the look and feel of a an old school speakeasy, even while with an open doorway facing the street. The vibe is relaxed and chill, the food is top notch, the craft cocktails are out of this world, and our Bartender / Mixologist James was the perfect host for an evening we'll never forget. What started out to be a quick drink, ended up being an entire evening lost in the best way! read more

A speakeasy in White Plains? I want to LOVE this place, with its inventive cocktails, velvet seating, beautiful bar. It's such a rarity here and it holds such promise. I feel like I should be wearing a black slinky dress and a fascinator, holding the arm of a gent wearing an ascot. It's fancy, but also fun here. But the MUSIC that they pipe in (I think it's Spotify, but not sure) is just wrong. During a recent visit we went from Taylor Swift to Cyndi Lauper to some other lame pop and it was just so out of place. A little jazz, or even smooth jazz, mellow pop, some R&B would make this place quite a gem. Maybe the owners will try to mix it up a bit? read more

Came here on a Friday night, super cool speakeasy. Dimly lit atmosphere, the decor was very stylish, innovative cocktails, and food was good. Service was a little slow since it was not as busy. My friend and I were seated at a corner booth, which was nice and private to catch up. This place is definitely a hidden gem and I would come back. read more

My first review was a 5-star but since my initial visit, the menu has changed and the drinks are even MORE incredible. The presentation of each drink is really special. My drink this time had coffee boba in it! BANG! BANG! -Stick em up buster- Bourbon, Cognac, Coffee, Apricot My friend ordered: Mojito-Colada -It tastes like coconut- Rum, Pandan, Mint, Citrus It was served in a box with sand and the umbrella was an edible fruit roll! A third time, friends and I ordered: -Starbees (a pumpkin spice espresso martini) -Electric-Penicillin (it glowed!) -Granny Mary's Tea (in a teacup!) SO CUTE. SO FUN. read more

Nice bartenders, lovely upscale speakeasy classy lounge vibe! Cute for pics. We had their drinks and they were a little watered down for the price, but the atmosphere balanced it out. They have a cool smoked drink that's neon green and lights up!! I'd go there again. read more

Operation Midnight Climax - The bathroom w a mermaid!! - Speakeasies Near Me - White Plains, New York

Some friends and I came on a weekend night. We didn't need reservations at 8pm, but by the time we left, it was definitely more crowded. The vibe is definitely very sexy. They have some nice attention to detail and decor. It's not very intimate (e.g., tall ceilings and bright lights in the smaller booths), but the sexy vibe is there. Their cocktail menu seems to change a lot, so you're more likely to need to check the menu while you're there. It seems to lean more toward gin and clear alcohol - at least this summer. It took forever to get a Guiness 0. Our waiter was very apologetic, but it was very odd since cocktails would be, in theory, harder to create. I'm glad we checked it out. read more

Operation Midnight Climax was first brought to my attention when one of my friends mentioned a new speakeasy had opened up downtown. Since I make it my intention to try out new spots in White Plains, my interest was instantly piqued. Cut to it sweeping across my feed on Yelp a few days later; pics looked great, so when one of my colleagues and I were looking to get together for drinks, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to check this place out. OMC sits on Martine Ave right off the main commercial strip of downtown White Plains. In true speakeasy style, the space is hidden in the back of another business - in this case, Sweet Temptations Bakery. Walking in it looks like a typical bakery, but the back wall contains a hidden door which opens up to the speakeasy. The aesthetics are striking - purple lighting, velvet chairs/banquettes, an impressive bar, and a lot of different finishes that make for conversation pieces. They really did a great job with the space. I heard that the people behind OMC are the same as The Blind Pig across the street; this makes sense as the aesthetics are similar, albeit Blind Pig is more of a traditional bar. Anyway, onto the food and drinks. The menu isn't large but they have a selection of apps and pizzas as well as a selection of specialty and classic cocktails; for a spot that just opened I thought they had a pretty full menu. I decided to browse their specialty cocktails and went with the Fat Man which was a (I think) gin-based drink with notes of grape. It was really good - smooth and not too strong. They also carved their name into the large ice cube in the glass which I thought was a nice touch. For food we decided to get a few shareables: the charcuterie plate, cheese place, lamb kebabs, and truffle popcorn. I'm not a big lamb fan but did partake in one kebab and it was pretty good - it came with a tzatziki-like sauce on the side which was a nice complement. The charcuterie plate was more just assorted meats - it was pretty good but I thought it could have been leveled up a little with more charcuterie accents. I felt the same about the cheese plate - they can probably combine these two together or just add more to each to make them a more complete dish. The popcorn was great - it had a lot of flavor and in addition to the truffle it was also seasoned with parmesan - I honestly didn't think it would be seasoned so well but they exceeded by expectations. Service was excellent - our server did a great job making sure we were taken care of and made awesome suggestions from the menu. On a higher level, the entire team was super friendly - I could tell a lot of effort and love went into this place. Overall, OMC is a total yes; I'm really glad a spot like this opened in White Plains, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

This speakeasy just opened in White Plains. I walked by last week, but I thought it was just a bakery. It's not! Walk through the bakery and through the pink floral doors to get to this speakeasy: Operation Midnight Climax! (OMC) I'm so glad I stopped by. I headed back a few days after I first walked by; I realized I completely missed this speakeasy. I saw the same entrance online and realized there was more to see! I stopped by after OMC had been open for about a week. I sat at the bar, but there was plenty of seating: in the dessert portion of OMC, at tables in the speakeasy, and there were a few spots at the bar. The drink and food menu is pretty vast. They have an array of speciality cocktails and the standards. I'll definitely have to come back again or a lot to try more of their options. If you've tried the only other speakeasy in White Plains, Blind Pig, that's across the street, this is the owners' second spot in the area. The vibes here are completely different than BP. Here, there was more lighting, it was quieter and there were a lot of larger groups here, more table seating, etc. I recommend checking out both places (BP + OMC) though! I can't wait to come back here again. I'm glad this place opened in WP! The ambiance and vibes here are unlike any other spot in Westchester! read more

Operation Midnight Climax - Tito's mule and some delicious cinnabun something cocktail - Speakeasies Near Me - White Plains, New York

This place is great, velvet seating, dark purple lighting, full bar with extensive list of options. Beautiful decor everywhere with two private tables. Arrived at 8pm on a Sat night, had to wait 15 minutes before getting in. At the moment, this place is CASH ONLY and there's no ATM inside. Drinks were great, around $15-$20 each, small glasses but packed a punch. Place was packed, seats about 50 people. At one point, it was standing room only. Line was around the block by the time we left at 10pm. Many people there were dressed to impress, but not all, so come as you are. You have to walk inside the sweet shop to get to the speakeasy. Great new place! read more

Very welcoming staff. We did not even dine or drink here, we just poked our head in to check the place out and an employee quickly came over to introduce us to the place. We made it clear that we were just walking by, but he made sure we felt welcome. read more

Fun speakeasy vibe bar in downtown White Plains. It's the same owners of The Blind Pig, which I love as they are bringing new dining and nightlife experience to the city. The drinks were well made and delicious and the light apps were yummy. I came here with friends and we had a booth in the back. The vibe was good and fun, service was decent, and the f&b was tasty. It is a bit pricey for WP, more in line with NYC but I'd still recommend it for an occasional weekend out! I'll definitely be back :). read more

The drinks and service were so super good!! The ambiance is awesome, and I always recommend this place to my friends and family!

Exactly what Westchester needed. Good speakeasies are hard to find and to have one this good in Westchester is a blessing. Amazing cocktails and it's also a really good bakery. read more

So to start out i think the location is relatively good. Close to the heart of white plains but off the beaten path in a lesser populated area. There is a long wait to get in. I think this is because they want to be exclusive as well as the place is relatively small. When we got in the staff was very nice unfortunately not very attentive. My table often was waiting a long time for their cocktails and to order. The cocktails are very expensive for the location/ambiance of the bar as well as the size of the drinks. I do think they're crafted well but there are other bars with great ambiance for a cheaper price. I liked the scene was a bit more mature than other bar scenes in white plains - late 20s 30s my ppl. But overall I think it's a one and done for me. read more

Absolutely love the decor and vibe. Super pretty and inviting. However overpriced drinks. I don't mind paying for drinks however I do not want to pay $21 for juice. As most people who like crafted drinks want to taste the alcohol. Unfortunately I did not taste the alcohol. Don't get me wrong I don't want straight up alcohol but it's there specialty. read more

Great ambiance, tasty cocktails and delicious truffle popcorn. Fast and sarcastic service which I love.

The atmosphere was fun and a great concept. The drinks were just "ok". The staff needs work on engaging the customers and being more personable. read more

great vibe, great music. that place was immaculate and upbeat. but they clearly nickel and dime you, unfortunately. i ordered a vodka club they measured exactly one shot and put all club soda in there it equated to 1 part vodka 11 parts club (12 oz) and charged $19.00. i had to ask the bar guy to give me a smaller cup i couldnt taste the liquor it was all club. i know rents expensive i was just really dissapointed thats all. if your going to water my drink down from the begnning atleast try to hide it, be a profeesional and eye it out and pour both at the same time. read more

We're big fans of the Blind Pig and since this is the same owners, we figured we'd give it a try. We came in around 6:45 pm today (Saturday) and got sat right away. They offered us any table we wanted and we chose a booth in the back. We ordered two rounds of drinks, each trying a different one each round. All were delicious! We tried the Black Manhattan, the Pornstar (lol), the Bramble, and the Paper Plane and all were great. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip that came with toasted bread, the smashed potatoes with truffle which were SO good, the Buffalo wings and the burrata. The spinach and artichoke dip and the smashed potatoes were our favorite. Not only were the food and drinks great but our server, Louis, was so personable and made the experience such a great one. He answered our questions, had recommendations, and just had great energy and conversations with us. Can't wait to come back and try some more things on the menu in the future! read more
