It's in a hotel. My friend and I walked in on a quiet Thursday night and were seated right away. It's not a large space, so each table normally has a 90 minute time limit. All the cocktails were interesting. We tried the Szechuan cocktail, Ganbei shot, the Jasmine, and the Night Stall No.9. There's also an option to roll dice and have the bartender make a custom drink. We ordered the Honey Butter Fries, which were delicious and tasted like the Calbee chips. read more

My credit card has some pretty worn treads from all the cocktail-ing I've done in Southeast Asia--but you know what? No regrets. The best mixology comes from places that grow fruit you can't spell. I said what I said. Partea Lab reminds me of those hazy nights where jackfruit met stone fruit, where peppercorns mingled with purple corns, and where baijiu danced with soju, in one delicious glass after another straight to my liver. From the cyberpunk frescoes, to the neon arcade machines, to the Asian-themed menu items, I could've been in Thailand or Taiwan if it weren't for all the American English accents around me. And for ~$18 a pop, you could do way, way worse when it comes to drinking in Manhattan. Get the Taiwanese Breakfast for soy milk creativity that genuinely evokes the essence of Formosa. Or try the cold brew Jasmine for fragrant herbal beauty. Or make your taste buds tingle with the Szechuan Mala, which actually comes with plenty of nodes (it's me, I ate the nodes I got the tingles.) We were a huge party of 11, and with the forethought of a Resy, we were seated comfortably over our barrel tables on one side of the small space. If you're a smaller party, still make a resy just to be safe. read more

All the hype on social media is cool! This place reminds menos Tokyo with their capsule machines. We thought we had to have a reservation (they hold a deposit) and when we got there on a Thursday evening in Spring, there were very few people. We felt like the bartenders were there just for us, and they make great drinks!! Exotic drinks, friendly service, fun and playful atmosphere, with good music. A bit pricey but the hype (and delicious flavors) are worth it. Some drinks can be made non-alcoholic. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Partea Lab - Speakeasies Near Me - New York, New York

Such a cute little speakeasy in the back of Sushi by Bou. It has creative Asian-inspired cocktails and a full arcade wall (claw machines & gacha machines). We ordered 2 boba shots [5/5], the Szechuan Mala cocktail [5/5], and the Gua Bao [4.5/5]. The boba shots were pretty strong, worth the price IMO. The Szechuan Mala cocktail was perfectly delicious; it had just the right amount of numbing spice and still tasted refreshing and sweet. The Gua Bao tasted mostly like a normal old fashioned; I wish the peanut butter taste was a bit stronger here. I would not recommend trying the claw machines as I've spent at least $100 on this type of machine and never gotten anything (skill issue? :P). Service was super friendly and attentive. There was only two other parties in the speakeasy at the time but they seemed like they were having a blast! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The entrance to the speakeasy can be found in the lobby of Sushi by bou. You enter by sliding open a door that looks like an elevator door. Inside, the decor is super futuristic looking. The space is small but they have a few claw machines along the wall. I tried the boba shots which i highly recommend, you basically take the shot and then chase it with boba on the side. The "taiwanese breakfast" drink was also very unique, it's served with fried dough. Lastly, we tried their fries which was delicious, loved the seasoning on the fries. Service was okay, the servers were chatting at the bar a lot but that didnt bother me much at all. read more
