Alisha OutridgeOctober 2, 2014My fave speakeasy date spot because the cocktails are delish, the space is intimate & it's truly feels like Manhattan. Luxury & quality is accessible to those who really want it badly enough #NYNY
One of the best if not the best speakeasy in NYC. You can go no wrong here as the mixologists here are the best in their field. Great place to have conversations whether it be with friends or dates.
Wilson ZhouSeptember 19, 2014The lovely part of this bar is both the chilling environment and fresh ingredient they used in the cocktails, as the follows, "summer stays"
Many of the tips here are out of date and refer to the old LES venue (eg. the call ahead/ exclusive door policy). The new location is beautiful, roomy and the drinks are still stellar.
SparkieJanuary 15, 2013Milk & Honey simply focuses on the classics (pre Prohibition) and provide a quiet atmosphere. 6 person group maximum. Now located in the Flatiron, don't be fooled by the Home Depot facade. Cash only.
MNZ .August 11, 2014A speakeasy place! Good cocktails.. They don't have a menu, the waitress ask what type of mood you are in and bring you the cocktail! We never had a bad one.. Trust them!- Wilson ZhouSeptember 19, 2014A real speakeasy with a "live" menu, the girl is so welcoming and I just told her I want a little bit gin and champaign and she got me this lovely French 75
Dee PhunkJuly 19, 2012First visit, I spotted a woman being poured a cocktail that looked similar to cafe con leche (but cold, obviously). So I ordered the "cafe con leche thing." Delicious. I wish I knew the actual name.
Irene MayansMay 4, 2013New location in Flatiron for the LES classic and best speakeasy in NYC. To get in you have to be a member or go with a member. Fish House Punch still my fave!! Ask the barman for the specials.
Jc QSeptember 16, 2014In its new space (& hood), Milk & Honey stays true to it's roots. Order your favorite Cocktail or a Bartenders' choice...you can rest assured it will be perfectly executed.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 17, 2011Enter this speakeasy through the most non-descript of entrances and be transported to the prohibition era and enjoy what the bartender makes you. Make reservations.
Wil WongNovember 20, 2012The old location was my favorite bar in the city for both its atmosphere, service, and quality of drinks. I'll need to try the new one near Madison Square Park out.
Affinia Hotel CollectionJune 13, 2014This game-changing cocktail den, speakeasy and Art Deco sports bar serves a lineup of meticulously crafted cocktails and a light appetizer menu.
RamyaFebruary 27, 2014Great atmosphere! It would be a good place to get drinks on a first or second date.. intimate and secluded seats. But a little pricy!
Josephine SonApril 18, 2013Absolutely gorgeous space! Romantic little cubbyholes to hide with someone special. All the drinks are amazing, just go with what they recommend!- Wil WongFebruary 11, 2013Decor was still unfinished when I visited this place. The new location still has some kinks that need to be worked out, but the bartending service is still top notch just like the old place!
Liz DellFebruary 22, 2013Possibly the best cocktail I've ever had?!? Wintery, gingery alcoholic deliciousness. You really are in good hands and the bartenders will do you right.
Wilmer SOctober 5, 2011Pricey, STRONG, creative drinks. Vodka lovers beware; you will not find V here! The hostess is nice with a bitchy undertone. More of a couples/date ambiance. Everything's lit by candles & 20's tunes
Patricia LeeMay 11, 2014Haitian Divorce is good. If you're thinking about getting the pretzel rolls though walk across the street to Duane Reade, buy a piece of dry bread, and grab packets of mustard instead. Same thing.
Liz MAugust 16, 2013Make sure you don't get here hungry. There is no food menu here, just nuts, olives and pretzel bread offering. They do have a menu for beer wine and aperitifs.
Selva AydınerMay 11, 2013Pick your choice of spirit and the bartender makes tasty cocktails... Quiet place with low music and people chatting in cubicles. Wouldn't go for a club scene.
New York HabitatNovember 7, 2011Don't try to pop in unannounced at this hidden speakeasy. Appointments are required, but once inside the knowledgable bartender will create original, masterful cocktails at your request.
Josh AndersonSeptember 22, 2011Make sure to make a reservation! They don't allow walk-ins... an keep an open mind. They don't HHS menus, but they will make you something amazing that you've never heard of!
ConnecTheWorldJuly 28, 2014Fantastic space and food, you almost won’t notice it walking between the Subway station and a McDonalds. So keep your eyes open. Between the Top5 Hidden Bars in NYC, read more on the link! Read more
Best bar in NYC. Get Sam or Mikey to mix you something classic and enjoy. The bar that brought back the cocktail craze. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Tanay JaipuriaSeptember 8, 2014Probably my favorite speakeasy in the city. No menu - they make you bespoke drinks. Get creative with preferences.
Sumita SanyalMay 18, 2013Amazing drinks although a bit pricey, good music, but essentially a lounge oh and there's no menu just whatever your heart desires
HeatherJuly 10, 2013New location is larger but drinks just as good. Free drink special after 130AM on Monday and Tuesday according to the bartenders tip. He said spread the word. Cheers!
Dina FierroApril 4, 2013There's no cocktail menu here - just give them guidance on what you're in the mood for and they'll concoct a bespoke creation!
Will CrockerDecember 13, 2013Delicious cocktails. Mixology reminiscent of John Gertsen's Drink in Boston with a more intimate vibe.
In my opinion, Mikey and Sammy are the best bartenders in NYC. I've never had a bad cocktail and I don't think I ever will!
Amanda GreeneSeptember 28, 2013The so-called "30 minute" wait actually took 2 hours. Cocktails were delicious and custom made, however! Thirty two bucks for two bartender's-choice drinks.
Ben SamraJune 23, 2013Service with attitude, drinks are great but if your paying the premium cocktail price, might as well go somewhere with more ambiance and maybe a cocktail menu of some sort
Lydia AmmosovaApril 1, 2011Mixology boot camp begins here! This is the perfect place for a secret rendezvous! The Ash Wednesday cocktail was perfection~blackberries, gin, honey & cream. I want another~now!
@JaumePrimeroOctober 18, 2010Just let the mixologists work their magic. No menu here, and that's what's great about it. Just tell them the flavors you like. The housemade ginger beer kicks some butt.
Open Air PublishingApril 16, 2012Try the "Archangel." Gin, Aperol, cucumber, lemon twist-- delicious. You can find bartender Michael McIlroy's recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads.

Advertising WeekJanuary 13, 2011Getting inside this spot is somewhat of a mystery, but if you're lucky, you'll love their cozy atmosphere & no menu needed drinks. Also check out the rules posted in the bathroom.
Viktoriya SvyazevaApril 2, 2013There is no sign on the door; you have to knock hard and someone will open it for you. Make sure you have a reservation. They just created online booking system.- Guest of a GuestOctober 11, 2011Milk and Honey is one of the more exclusive speakeasy located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. To get in to this bar you need to make prior reservations via email only. Read more
EatMeDrinkMeNYCMarch 30, 2013The Dirty Dobbs; The Flatiron ; The McKittrick Old Fashioned - I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order.
Stephanie ZhongOctober 29, 2014This spot is for serious cocktail lovers! No fancy decoration, no pretentious doorman, this tiny space offers personalized cocktail masterpieces. Name your poison and get ready to be impressed.
Adam PriceFebruary 22, 2011The bartender always drinks the same drink: The Fitzgerald. He made one for us and I recommend it. Also, the White Horse is gingericiously good.
Nidhi ChaudharyFebruary 23, 2014The cocktails are amazing. The bar is so chill. You have to go here.
Ask for the bartenders choice, and just let them know the alcohol types you don't like.
Mike CostabileAugust 25, 2012One of the more impressive speakeasys in NYC. Somehow talked our way in. One Blue Collar and an Improved Whiskey later, things were all good...
Food & WineApril 20, 2011An unlisted phone number and an entrance policy that requires a referral and an appointment make this flagship Sasha Petraske spot one of Manhattan's most exclusive lounges.
