    Cute and fun little speakeasy inside Hotel 32 32. Their drinks are Asian inspired (think jasmine tea, szechuan, bitter melon, etc.) so their cocktails are unique and tasty. They also have some fun claw machines and gacha machines so you can win some cute toys!

    This is a cool speakeasy after Sushi by Bou and I need more sake apparently. It's cute and minimalist and fun if you like specialty cocktails and video games. Our waitress seems to be happy and she likes her job. My drink was definitely weird so I'm trading it in for the Jasmine

    Drinks were not great....of 7 people who got drinks only 2 people actually enjoyed them. I don't know if it's the recipe for the drinks or the bartender. The vibe of the place is cool with the games.

    Such a cool spot! Tucked away behind sushi boo, it is Japan meets cyberpunk meets classy cocktails and when it comes together it's a partea! The drink menu is excellent ... the way they take tradition Asian ingredients and curate them into a well balanced cocktail is amazing. I got the guava soju drink and it reminded me of those floral candy's wrapped in the pastel wrapping. My friend got the cocktail with the gochujang and while I was skeptical- the flavors were mind blowing! The service was amazing too! Denny and Tina were so amazing! While we had a party of 12 so we took up the whole space they didn't miss a beat whether it was making drinks, serving drinks or tending to our friends with the claw machines. They also have the machines along the side wall and it is definitely fun but it is costly to play fyi.

    Cool concept, as a hidden cyberpunk speakeasy in a hotel, but the drinks were way too sweet/not what we expected and the service was pretty mid.. My coat was left on one of our empty chairs but one of the girls working kept bumping into it and dropping my coat multiple times.. The gatchas/claw machine concept is cool, except a drunk customer kept talking to us while he was doing it, which kind of ruined our vibe.. The other big group of customers to came after us were also very loud and they also kept bumping into us, assuming that they were a bit drunk as well.. But very fun concept and would come back, hopefully on a night it isn't too crowded!

    TLDR: Hidden speakeasy bar tucked behind Sushi by Bou with amazing drinks, fun arcade-style games, and a vibrant cyberpunk Tokyo vibe. Perfect spot for predinner fun with a group! We visited Partea Lab with a large group of 12 on the 4th of July for predinner drinks and had an absolute blast. This place is literally a hidden gem .ie there's no signage out front, so you have to know it's located behind Sushi by Bou. Once inside, it's like stepping into a neon-lit alley of a futuristic Tokyo. The space is cozy, probably maxing out around 25-30 people, with high-back bar stools and repurposed steel drum tables. Seating is limited, but the vibe more than makes up for it. Think cyberpunk, arcade meets anime bar. Tons of neon, bright colors, and an entire wall lined with gachapon machines and mini crane games. The prizes are everything from anime keychains to cute nightlights and plushies. It's a bit pricey at $2-$6 a play, but honestly it's a fun activity while having a few drinks. Speaking of drinks, every single cocktail we tried was superlative. From the infamous boba tea shots to the exciting "roll the dice" cocktail, everything was well-crafted and playful. The bartenders really made the experience. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and even helped us snag a win from a stubborn crane machine. S tier hospitality. If you're looking for a unique and interactive bar to visit with friends, Partea Lab should be high on your list.

    Came here on July 4th to pregame for another event. This spot is a cool take on East Asian night market food-- every drink is based on some sort of popular dish. My personal favorite was the mango sago drink. Interior is clean and located conveniently inside the hotel 3232. Staff were nice and attentive. Drinks are a bit pricey, with each cocktail about $20. Fun experience though

    Came here because I was looking for a random bar near a conference I was attending. Literally any hotel bar would have done fine, but we got exceptionally lucky that this incredible little gem popped up when I searched on Yelp! First of all, when we entered, we couldn't even find the place hidden inside. After asking security, he told me to go through the door in the back hallway. Rather than a door all we saw was what looked like an elevator. However, this was a fake elevator that was in fact a sliding door! Big modern speakeasy vibes . The space inside is incredible- dimly lit with neon arcade lights, a few tables, and a small bar. The drinks all involve some form of tea, hence the name Partea. Our bartender was super chill and made us incredible cocktails- I loved the old fashioned drink. It had a great subtle tea flavor that complimented the whiskey. The arcade claw machines were also a fun vibe and made it feel like I was in a small Akihabara bar. Genuinely felt like I was in a different continent for a small time. Overall, super fun new Japanese speakeasy that you should definitely check out if you're in the area!

    Overview: My husband and I came here after dinner. We made a reservation, which I recommend because it's a small space. The waitress was very nice and welcoming. Overall, we had fun! Especially planning the mini crane games. I won 3 different prizes on the first try! And my husband got the hardest one on his second try. The drinks were good, I liked my first one way better than my second one, which I wasn't a fan of. I did love the bubble tea shot though! The boba was delicious! What was ordered: DRINKS: Take Me HoMe, Bitter Melon Highball, 2 Boba Tea Shots, Szechuan Mala Stand outs: Boba Tea Shots & the crane games Would I come back/recommend: Yes - I would come back Yes - I would recommend

    An AMAZING speakeasy attached to Sushi by Bou. The inside of the bar is casual, with lots of bright lights to give it a pretty cool cyberpunk vibe. There are also claw machines to play, which is a nice activity to do! Service here is stellar and the bartender was an absolute pleasure to talk to. They have super innovative and fun Asian-inspired drinks. I got the Taiwanese breakfast, which came with small bites of Chinese doughnuts. It was amazing! Would definitely love to come back here to try their other drinks!

    We're a big fan of the OG Partea locations in Flushing (RIP) and Manhattan, so we decided to give their speakeasy concept a chance, and we're glad we did! We decided not to make a reservation since we were already on the way there and noticed they still had slots opened on a Saturday night. Tucked away in the back of a hotel lobby, Partea Lab is an Asian themed, futuristic speakeasy with some claw machines. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived and ordered some drinks and appetizers. We ordered the Ganbei Boba Shots, which were delicious and fun but very strong. We also ordered the Gua Bao (Old Fashioned) and The Jasmine. The Gua Bao was overall forgettable but the jerky garnish was a nice touch. The Jasmine was refreshing and bubbly. We also ordered the Tiramisu (with Espresso Martini) which was delicious but the glass it was served in made it difficult to drink the foam. For appetizers, we had the Popcorn Chicken and Honey Butter Fries, which were both delicious. The service was slow but our waitress was extremely friendly. She even gave us a few tokens to play the claw machines, which was nice of her. We enjoyed the concept and ambiance. I can imagine the place being stuffy and loud when it gets crowded.

    5/5 experience at Partea Lab! It is a cute small bar tucked away at the 32 32 Hotel. Service was great! We got seated immediately and were served water. Their menu books are so cute and fun! All the drinks are asian themed and very flavorful. The presentation and taste of their boba shots were phenomenal! I would absolutely go again!! They also have a great ambiance. Server was very attentive and polite.

    This is a new speakeasy hidden behind elevator doors at Hotel 32-32. It's a cyberpunk East Asian night market themed intimate bar serving up cocktails and a small bites menu. They have very innovative cocktails like boba shots and classic bites like popcorn chicken. It's a neon lit hideaway that also has claw machines filled with rare plushies. Very cute date spot. Make sure you make a reservation as space is tight!

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.

    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!

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.
