Thyme Bar
Tucked beneath Chanson New York, under 23rd Street in Flatiron, Thyme Bar is a speakeasy-styled cocktail experience that blends theatrical presentation, botanical focus, and a sense of discovery. The bar occupies a historic pre-war cellar, giving the space natural reverberation and a moody ambience. Low ceilings, exposed brick, dim lighting, and meticulous décor create an intimate underground hideaway. The drink menu is crafted by mixologist Samy Berdai, leaning heavily on creative techniques: smoke, aroma, unusual garnishes, botanical infusions, unexpected vessels. Cocktails are designed not just to be drunk, but experienced. A la carte drinks are available for walk-ins; there’s also a prix-fixe tasting menu that pairs food + drinks, such that the bar becomes part theatrical dining. Thyme Bar also emphasizes sustainability in its mixology, sourcing quality ingredients and keeping a botanical thread through much of what they do. The service style is polished, attentive, warm—but not overly formal; they want you to feel both special and comfortable. Music, lighting, and pace seem designed to slow things down: good for dates, special evenings, or nights where you want immersive flavour and atmosphere over noise. Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, evenings into the night. Happy “Martini Mondays” offer cocktails at a value plus complimentary passed bites in early evening hours.
