Beautiful, dimly lit space hidden behind the wall of Patent Coffee, with tributes to Nikola Tesla at every turn⚡️Don’t let the theme fool you; this is a serious cocktail bar with a fantastic menu 🥃

Incredible speakeasy below the location of the hotel where Tesla lived. Everything is perfect, especially the Odd Love cocktail, which has a splash of their front-of-house Patent Coffee

Punch in door code 4927 (address is 49 W. 27th)

Slowly but surely, NoMad is getting its share of places to go after work. This tiny speakeasy is small, so don't try bringing a group of more than four. Apart from that, enjoy!

Had the radio waves and another tequila beverage I don’t remember. Sit at the bar if you can so you can watch the magic and connect with the bartenders. Everyone is lovely here.

One of the coolest speakers in NYC. Located behind a coffee shop. Very cool concept - Nikolas Tesla. The bar follows this theme with light bulbs. As does the menu with sketches of the drinks!

Make a reservation or go early. It’s a coffee shop in front that looks closed but push the door. Love this place. Cocktails are excellent! Ambiance is as good.

I love this speakeasy bar behind the coffee shop. The door code is on the large banner above your head... 4927

Perfect place for first time dates. Their menu is excellent and has quite the variety when it comes to cocktails and food.

One of my favorite places to grab a drink in NYC. Come early in the week to avoid a long wait. Don’t miss the “Light Me Up” cocktail.

Nice little bar with some very interesting cocktails you won't find anywhere else. I had the "Odd Love" which was excellent. Some drinks packed with crushed ice, so check before ordering. Expensive.
Andrew MacDonaldMay 29, 2018
Awesome cocktails and a friendly staff with an attention to detail 👌
SolJanuary 4, 2019
Don’t be alarmed by the empty coffee shop, there’s a bar in the back with high priced cocktails. Try currents and coils with coffee and banana. Delicious.
A ZakheimMarch 31, 2018
Great vibe. Excellent cocktails.
Alana CadizMarch 3, 2018
The Currents and Coils cocktail was delicious
Nick ContiSeptember 29, 2018
One of the best cocktail places around!! Don’t miss this place!!
Tyler BennettJuly 14, 2018
When you're trying to get in, go to the door to Patent Coffee and wait. When they see you, they'll buzz you in.
Alexandria McGrathJune 26, 2018
It’s a little coffee shop in Nomad, and at night, they stop serving coffee and open a hidden bar in back where you can drink a very good cocktail.

Located behind Patent Coffee. Great Speakeasy. Love the dim lit atmosphere and attentive staff.

My favourite cocktail is easily the Light Me Up. They coat the glass with a Szechuan peppercorn sugar lick!

Hidden cocktail bar with amazing drinks 🥃
Matt MitgangNovember 23, 2019
Tiny bar hidden inside a basement coffee shop. Well rounded cocktail list, with a few playing off of the coffee shop outside.
Marina TunesSeptember 9, 2018
very original idea, this secret bar offers great drinks and friendly service. during the sun light, go for the coffee.

Good cocktail selection. Worth the stop.
Chrissy ConnorsJune 10, 2019
Really cute - not too loud that you can’t have a conversation. Expensive but very good cocktails
Plamena ГеоргиеваFebruary 3, 2019
Such a cute spot and the drinks are SO good! The bartenders are super nice and friendly.
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 31, 2018
Great vibe, really enjoyed the biz as usual and green martini
Kelsey LFebruary 18, 2019
All the cocktails we tried were great. And the bartenders are really fun and friendly. We'll be back.
L. S.August 23, 2018
Not your everyday bar bar but if You’re in the mood for elevated cocktails then bingo! Small and “hidden” but worth finding.
KatNovember 27, 2019
Great hidden spot for cocktails. If there’s a wait (it’s tiny), they will text you when a spot is ready.
Roberto SanchezJune 2, 2018
A modern speakeasy. Maybe too hipster, but great bartender
Jessica de MartineMay 18, 2018
Great cocktails, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere.
Lee WalkerOctober 9, 2019
Get there ahead of opening time. There’s still a queue...make sure you’re at Patent Coffee...there’s another coffee shop that looks similar to the pics
DoubleDeuceJanuary 31, 2022
Fun place that's a hidden speakeasy and everything is themed about patents. So be sure to take your favorite patent-seeking person!
Alex BosworthNovember 4, 2018
Good place to take out-of-town guests but go early in order to get a seat otherwise you’ll have to wait
Karthik KasaraneniMarch 12, 2018
Get the Mr. Muir!
Natalie LeMossDecember 17, 2022
Such a fun place for drinks, try the strange magic cocktail!
Nick LoweryFebruary 8, 2019
Cool bar, but not a speakeasy. Crowd is super casual - t-shirts and jeans. Not a high-end crowd like Flat Iron or Raines Law Room.
Tyson GachMay 12, 2019
👌🏼 Currents and Coils cocktail

got a seat in the basement… less pretentious vibe and friendly staff

Amazing cocktails and great atmosphere!
Jeremy LevineOctober 26, 2018
Best cocktails I’ve had in the city.
Kasiana MclenaghanJanuary 12, 2019
It’s a nice spot, but the vast majority of the appeal is that it’s hidden behind a fake door. If that doesn’t totally get you off, look elsewhere. It was also more loud than intimate.
Ethan IllfelderSeptember 7, 2018
Cocktails and atmosphere were awesome
Zoe CareyAugust 5, 2018
Great cocktails. Love a good speakeasy
Candice RiveraAugust 14, 2022
Great cocktails, cool space with a fun vibe
Michael G.November 10, 2018
Coffee bar in front, hidden cocktail bar in back. Light Me Up cocktail was just okay
Joe KileyOctober 16, 2018
Killer cocktails, enough said
ShayJanuary 4, 2019
Great ambiance & design
LaDawn Penigar-MitchellMarch 10, 2022
Not overly impressed. Service was mediocre, drinks were tasty but not excellent and the prices were way overpriced. Great option for speakeasy cocktails in the area but not a standout.
