    I came here a few weeks ago with my friends and it didn't disappoint. I had made a reservation beforehand and it was easy enough to get a time slot we wanted. The space itself is inside of the Hugh (an upscale food court) and it's on the lower level and hidden away. The ambiance is really nice with a 1950's feel to it with lots of dim lighting and a beautiful long bar alongside lots of booth seating. The service was excellent, our bartender was super knowledge and the cocktails we all got were very good and perfectly balanced (imagine it done, charlottes dilemma and an espresso martini). I would absolutely come back here again the next time I'm in midtown.

    Hidden beyond a food court, The Boardroom transports you to a speakeasy with moody green walls, dark wood, and vintage decor. The skilled bartenders craft well-balanced cocktails that favor tequila over whisky a tad in my opinion. While technically proficient, the drinks lack the memorable uniqueness that would make them standouts. Drinks are easily $25 each but I think it includes tip. The space offers comfortable seating with tables, booths, and a bar area perfect for watching cocktail preparation. Though a solid speakeasy experience, it doesn't quite measure up to the more innovative and impressive establishments you'll find in the East Village. Worth a visit for the atmosphere, but seasoned speakeasy enthusiasts might find it just alright.

    One of the best cocktail bars I have ever been to! We were staying in midtown for a couple of nights and I happened to see this place on Yelp near our hotel. It did not disappoint. Every drink we had was amazing and the staff were even more amazing. The ambiance is wonderful- dimly lit with candles serving as the main source of light and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the interior. I am a bourbon lover and it was pretty cool to find Stagg out in the wild. The black manhattan is not to be missed! We will be back every time we come to the city. Thanks to all the staff who made our night such an amazing one!

    What a beautiful speakeasy tucked inside the food court. We opted to sit by the bar to chat with the bartenders. They were very helpful in recommending drinks. The cocktail menu was extensive, offering many options. The cocktails we ordered were beautifully presented, tasty, and spirit-forward. Though the price tag was high, it reflected the drink's complexity.

    $30 for a mediocre overly sweet cocktail! Yes, the cocktail was $25 with $4 mandatory tip. For that price, the drinks should be high quality. The inside has a speakeasy vibe, located inside the Hugh food court. Difficult to find because the address gives a nondescript office building that had the door locked. When you descend into the food court, the entrance is a door with no sign. We had to ask security where the place was. Eh..not impressed.

    Amazing find! Beautiful cocktails and superb service from the host to the barback! Had amazing recommendations from the best bartenders and can't wait to come back to try the rest of the drink menu.

    Bespoke Old Fashioned & Espresso Martini... 10/10! Great drinks and even better service.

    See all
