    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

    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!

    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!

    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

    Old fashioned

    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.

    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.

    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 had researched speakeasies in Midtown West of Manhattan before we traveled there to celebrate our…read morefifth wedding anniversary. From our initial trip last year, I had marked a place called Bar 369 Miroku located in Hell's Kitchen. Being that we didn't make our way to the spot on our trip last year, and were staying in Hell's Kitchen this time around, I wanted us to check out. The only challenge was actually finding it. If you're seeking out this gorgeous speakeasy. You aren't going to find it through some darkened alleyway or non-marked door of a building outside. No. You need to check the website and read between the lines of it being located within a sushi bar on West 46th Street. I could tell you the name, but what fun would that be? Figure that part out. But once you figure out how to access, the staff at said-sushi bar will direct you to the back of the restaurant to wheee you will see a sign for the bar and a stairwell to take you up to the second floor. Once you reach and look around, it looks at first you have reached a dead end between the emergency exit you see and a door that looks locked. There is a black curtain in the darkened hallway you need to notice and peer through. And alas, you will discover the bar that is Bar 369 Miroku. Once you have been checked for ID, and your party number, you are escorted into the small, darkly-lit enclave with plush decor, a bit of a Rolling Stones theme with its large poster hung in the back and artwork perched next to the bar shelving. It's an intimate and relaxed energy that makes it perfect to enjoy one of the Japanese-inspired cocktails on an evening after dinner. The hideaway offers a creative mix of craft cocktail options such as the Ichitaki Spritz (a variation of the Aperol spritz with sake in it), which was quite delightful that I enjoyed immensely within the dark lounge surroundings. If we were here more often, I would have taken advantage of their Japanese whisky selection that looked on point. There is a delectable charm to their curation and craftsmanship of their cocktails, combined with the luscious ambience that makes for a great hangout spot to get away and relax for the night. Bar 369 Miroku hits the mark regarding the speakeasy experience you would think to have when describing one, outside of not needing a password. The bar combines dark, stylish elegance with modern Japanese mixology magic to create an environment nestled deep away from the busy Manhattan streets outside.

It IS a small bar, but there were only about 4-5 folks here already, engrossed in a conversation at the bar that anyone could join. I quietly took a seat at one of the 3 tables on the plush high-top bench and the lone, friendly bartendress was immediately attentive (I was greeted the moment I stepped through the door!). Now, there's no ACTUAL liquor here, ONLY the beer and wine on the small menu, so don't try asking her to whip you up something not on the menu. Luckily for me, there was a fruity sangria special, so I opted for that, served with a decorative shark adornment and a metal straw, and was immediately given a little bucket of popcorn to accompany it. Now, this is part of the reason why I wanted to check this place out. Fresh popcorn is my weakness. Bars that give free snacks with drinks are top tier in my book. You could probably lure me into the back of a white van with a signature red and white filled popcorn bucket. So I sat, and I sipped, and I munched, and I listened to the conversation from the others, and the bartendress, god bless her, would check on my bucket and refill it any time it got low. Now I'm really a mixed drink girly, but the vibes were SO cool here that I would most definitely come back. :D Also note, there's cool little padded seating by the window that I noticed that would be great for people-watching outside.
