Live sing-along
Foodie E.

A secret door, an underground 80s-themed speakeasy, and a brunch where you can actually sing along?! This spot is definitely not your typical brunch experience. Behind the secret entrance is a hidden dining room with live music, sing-along moments, cocktails, and brunch favorites. And the best part? $30 bottomless cocktails with an entrée! Saturdays & Sundays | 1-5 PM Sing-along brunch | 1:30-3:30 PM Would you know the passcode? Follow me @foodie.elite on IG, Tiktok, and RedNote for more great finds!

If you love great cocktails, this hidden speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! From entering with a secret passcode to the very last sip, the entire experience is incredible. It has easily earned a spot as one of my favorite bars of all time. The underground space flawlessly captures a raw, seedy, 1980s rock 'n' roll vibe, with eclectic decor that extends beautifully to the themed menus and custom glassware. Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC!

Just the Tip specialty cocktail $19

Themed speakeasy bar with an 80s sex shop vibe. Great location if you're around Times Square. The cocktail list was great, and I recommend getting the Just the Tip cocktail ($19) because it comes with the flame theatrics. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't busy at all. The bartender was fantastic--funny, casual, and personable. It's a cool, kitschy spot to check out for a drink or bite if you like themed speakeasies. The password is on their website.

French Fry Nachos

Hell Yes, I recommend this speakeasy. By far the best one in NYC for fun, excitement, great cocktails and 80's entertainment. The inside truly resembles a club from back in the day. As soon as you walk in you are catapulted back in time to NYC when it was raw, seedy and ALIVE! For NYC cocktail prices, you get a bang (well not literally) for your buck! The cocktails are well curated and strong. Food is typical comfort type food that compliments the strong cocktails. I can't wait to introduce The Woo Woo to other victims : )

I finally went to The Woo Woo speakeasy with two friends who had been here before. A passcode is required for entry and it is located below Mean Fiddler. Per their website "The Woo Woo is serving up 1980's vibes, craft cocktails and risque seduction in this underground speakeasy sex shop." Conveniently located in Hell's Kitchen/Theater District near trains. Party of 3 on a Friday night. We reserved in advance. Note that there is a 90 minute seating limit. We had a 6:30 reservation and there were large groups still being seated when we left. We all love the vibe, the music, and the 80s movies being shown on the TV screens (Flash Dance!) The staff was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. For cocktails we had: Sex cures anxiety Purple rain Dirty dancing The Dominatrix Morning wood Pretty in Pink We shared food: Buffalo chicken spring rolls French fry nachos Carne asada tacos (They were out of the fish tacos and the shrimp dish. We originally wanted the fish tacos.) One person in our party already has plans to come back this month. I would definitely come back.

Excellent little speakeasy located about a block away from Times Square. It's essentially an unsuspecting little sex shop turned drinking spot... the drinks are actually really good here and super creative. Totally a spot worthy of checking out if you're in the area. It's a total conversation piece!. Password required but available on their website.

Pretty in Pink
Srinanda G.

Such a fun experience for a girls night out. We absolutely loved the vibes, and all the drinks were amazing aka they tasted great and def got us lit too. The staff was also super friendly and accommodating. They also have a photobooth that we def made the most of. I will recommend getting a reservation, especially if you have a large group. Otherwise, you get put by the bar and there isn't a lot of space near that area.

The staff here is friendly and the service was great. To get in, you need to say the secret password. The theming inside is really retro and makes you feel like you went back in the past. The place was lively and it was a fun spot. There was a decent amount of seating inside and they sell food too. I got the little mermaid and this other drink with toasted marshmallow at the top. The drinks were both really tasty and good quality. Just like the many drinks I've tried in New York, the drinks are expensive. I recommend making a reservation here.

I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and it was a blast. I came here looking for 80s vibes and that's what I got with a side of sex toy store. The neon lights and retro ceilings take you back to the seedy streets of 80s New York. They honor this side of New York with drinks called Pornstar and Blowjob. The music is also from the 80s and even though it may not seem like a big enough spot but there was room to dance and the dj would add to the party vibe by spotlighting the birthday girls. The food was good as well. I enjoyed the sliders and the wings. I would definitely come back here another night for drinks and dancing.

This place was amazing! We love Liv so much Liv laugh love! There was such a cute entrance obviously (as it was a Speakeasy). Our waiter was amazing, beautiful and so funny! She made our last night in NYC end on the best note! There is a Photo Booth as well, the space is a bit small but $7 for two copies is unheard of!! My friends spent quite a lot of time in there. The service was, of course, spectacular. I love Liv. She was the best. We had such a good night here as our one stop speakeasy of New York City. Would recommend 100%! - edited because I was drunk writing it but SOBER NOW and still standing by the sentiment!!!

Cynthia M.

It's such a fun speakeasy. 80's music playing with old movies on the screen. The staff is pretty attentive. We've been there for drinks but not really for food. Lots of fun games to play with a group of friends. The R-Rated sex shop theme is fun as well.

Blake H.

The Woo Woo is located very close to Times Square and you have to supply the entry word that can be found on the website! The reservations were hard to make online but it seemed that some error had occurred but I called and put in a reservation. The space is fun and very spacious! Most speakeasy's are much smaller. The drinks? Stellar! The food? Stellar and the service was stellar. This is a Greta place to check out as a couple or small group. I'd return and would encourage others to as well!

A speakeasy bar in the basement
Monique M.

Side note: it was my first trip to New York and I fell in love with this city! (Yes I'm making my way back to the city) Of course, it was my first time trying a sexy speakeasy in NY. I've seen folks raved about this hidden gem so an add to my itinerary. I've enjoyed the ambience here. It gave an intimate, moody fun feel to it. I love where an energetic crowd is located and here you will find. This spot hides in the basement area and nope not hard to miss. However, before striding down to the spook sexy level, you must ring the bell on the street level. The host will ask you for the password before letting you in, which I thought was fun! I'm like okayyy this feels exclusive haha Come here during your next trip to NY...a time here will be a memory to keep. Thank you, Woo Woo!

I'm unable to book a reservation for 1. Do thy allow reservation for 1?

No you have to have someone with you

How many guest can they accommodate on 1 reservation?

Unsure, but the place is surprisingly big and they do have several long tables. Additionally, you can rent out the whole place if you wanted!

What on the food menu is vegan friendly?

Going on a Monday evening turned out to be a brilliant decision as it was not crowded so we could comfortably sit, chill, and chat --the mood was fully set with neon lights and a cool underground disco setup. While the menu mostly keeps it simple with snacks like gourmet chips and nuts , yo can order from near by pizza shop or order from any other place. We ordered a Caipirinha and a Mule; the Caipirinha had that superb balance of sour lime and smooth cachaça, while the Mule was chilled, super punchy, and packed a fantastic ginger hit. It's definitely a great spot to unwind with good drinks in a properly unique NYC setting!

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.

SUCH a cute little bar! Came out to "investigate" yesterday around "Happy Hour" time (note: there…read morewas no actual happy hour here) around 5-6pm on a Friday. 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.
