Enter Le Boudoir, a uniquely atmospheric speakeasy tucked beneath Brooklyn Heights' Chez Moi. Accessed through a hidden bookshelf door, this underground gem occupies an abandoned 19th-century subway tunnel, transformed into an intimate vault of Rococo allure with red velvet banquettes, gilded mirrors, antique sconces, parquet ceilings, and even a doorknob salvaged from Marie Antoinette’s bedroom. Created by Tarek Debira and Patricia Ageheim, Le Boudoir aims to evoke the secrecy and elegance of the queen's private boudoir—wrought with opulence yet cozy, where etiquette slips away in favor of decadent indulgence. The space seats around 75 guests and hosts burlesque shows on weekend nights at about 9:30 pm and 11:30 pm. The cocktail menu is as theatrical as the décor. Standouts include the Dauphin, a creamy, absinthe-forward concoction with chocolate-chili bitters, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, Demerara syrup, coconut-almond milk—served lavishly with star anise and cacao nibs. Other inventive creations like the Guillotine (scotch, mezcal, banana liqueur, honey) and Axel von Fersen (applejack, bourbon, sesame, curry, black caraway) complete the lineup. The bar also offers elegant bites—pâtés, frites, and macarons—to accompany your drink. Further, Atlas Obscura highlights how the tunnel’s stonework, coal-latch ceiling, and preserved storage rooms add fascinating historical texture to the hideaway experience. Whether you're seeking a clandestine night out, a taste of burlesque, or a surreal dose of history, Le Boudoir delivers theatrical escapism in the most glamorous and hidden-of-hidden way.
