The Harrison (Nicky Harrison Speakeasy)

Step through the sushi restaurant Nicky NY and ask to “visit the cellar”—and you just might be invited into The Harrison Speakeasy, a clandestine cocktail bar that leans fully into the charm and mystique of 1920s Prohibition-era lore. Once behind its concealed entrance, you're transported into a dimly lit realm of plush vintage intimacy, complete with exposed brick, jazz murmurings, and an air of exclusivity that feels delightfully forbidden. Inside, the bartenders treat each cocktail as a story: the menu is presented on a vintage‑styled clipping of a New York Times article about the fictional Nicky Harrison’s jail sentence. Sip on signature creations like the Union Pacific—a playful blend of vodka, Earl Grey tea, ginger, and lemon delivered via a toy train—or the smoky, moody Scottish Fog, featuring Chivas 12, Ardbeg, Drambuie, Earl Grey syrup, and bitters. No phones. No photos. Just hushed conversations, satin-lined ambiance, and the glow of classic cocktail craftsmanship. Live jazz or a DJ may set the soft soundtrack for a night that feels like stepping into another era—elegant, secretive, and undeniably cinematic. Whether you're on a date or sneaking out for a nightcap, The Harrison delivers a sensory-rich escape that might just linger in your memory long after the last sip.
