Hidden bars in NYC can be difficult to find when you don’t know where to look. Most NYC secret clubs are hidden behind unmarked doors or hidden underground. Joining a few friends to hang out in one of these exclusive hidden bars will make you feel like you’ve found a hidden treasure.

The speakeasy was the original hidden bar. The original speakeasy bars were relatively small with little or no entertainment involved. Through gradual growth, the speakeasy became popular and expanded to many different areas with new additions of entertainment. Today, hidden bars with very little or no outside identification are considered to be quite exclusive.

Plan an exclusive night out with friends to share an insider’s experience in the hidden bars in NYC.

Hilo Bar

HILO Bar is a secret hideaway next to its sibling, 675 Bar. Here you will find handmade stiff drinks and great DJ’s all under an impressive disco ball. The scene is perfect both for dancing with your party or kicking back on one of the tucked away leather booths. The spacious interior of this hidden bar provides ample seating.

Snuggly housed below 9th Avenue, HILO is hot and cold all at one time. Enjoy a cool, refreshing cocktail while dancing up a real sweat in this hidden underground venue.

Apothéke

Apothéke is marked by a chemist sign outside its door. Inspired by the history and rise of the apothecary in Europe as well as the artistic influence of absinthe dens in 19th century Paris, Apothéke is the first of its kind. The entire experience, from wandering down a hidden street to find the entrance, to tasting the first sip of a specialty cocktail made with exotic herbs and fruits – is a privilege.

This hidden bar takes their menu seriously. Mixologists wear white lab coats and will concoct just the right medicine for whatever ails you. The hand-carved back bar is filled with hundreds of antique medicine bottles that were collected from around the world. This is much more than a hidden cocktail bar – this is a hidden cocktail apothecary.

The Back Room

The Back Room is an original speakeasy bar that operated during prohibition. The original 1920’s speakeasy, known simply as “The Back of Ratner’s,” played host to many theater and movie actors of the “Roaring Twenties,” as well as famous gangsters of the era.

Keep your eyes out for a sign that reads “Lower East Side Toy Company.” Then enter through the gate and go down a flight of steps to get to this Lower East Side speakeasy.

Visit The Back Room and use the same hidden entrance that was used 85 years ago. Enjoy a cocktail from a teacup—the way people used to secretly drink during prohibition! The vintage 1920’s décor, period pieces and secret room behind the bookcase, provide the perfect setting for a date, birthday party, or a casual night with friends.

The Tippler

The Tippler is a hidden bar in the basement level of trendy Chelsea Market. To find The Tippler, look for the large “Open” sign on the south side of the market. Thursday through Saturday you will encounter a doorman and can expect a line to get in. This secret watering hole features music on the weekends and gets filled up quickly. Classic architectural elements adorn the interior giving this bar a true NYC speakeasy feel.

This large, cavernous subterranean bar offers a ton of specialty drinks and an impressive array of lite fare to fill your tummy.

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.

I wanted to find a place to throw a birthday party for a girlfriend. I picked the venue on the website and received an email right away from Cristina. The reservation process was quick. I received confirmation in a timely manner. It was the easiest party planning that I have gone through. Thanks again birthday bottle service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
