Speakeasy
Cocktails

Employees Only, nestled in New York City's West Village, has been a cornerstone of the city's cocktail scene since its inception in 2004. Disguised behind a façade resembling a psychic's storefront, this speakeasy-style bar offers an ambiance that blends Art Deco elegance with a lively, unpretentious atmosphere. ​ Renowned for its expertly crafted cocktails, Employees Only serves both classic and innovative drinks. Signature creations like the Mata Hari—a blend of brandy, chai-infused vermouth, and pomegranate juice—showcase the bar's commitment to mixology excellence. Complementing the beverage program is a menu of elevated bar fare, featuring dishes such as oysters, bone marrow poppers, and an exceptional ribeye steak. ​ The bar's dedication to quality and hospitality has earned it numerous accolades, including a consistent presence on The World's 50 Best Bars list, where it ranked No. 47 in 2022. Beyond the awards, Employees Only is cherished for its warm, inclusive environment, where both regulars and newcomers feel equally welcomed
