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 🥃
Allie GoodchildFebruary 17, 2018Incredible 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 CoffeeUpvoted Mar 10
Lauren FordMarch 17, 2018Had 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.
Cole KennedyMarch 6, 2018Slowly 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!- Amanda RellaOctober 29, 2018One 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!
Elyse EstradaDecember 21, 2018Make 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
Val SklarovMarch 16, 2018Perfect place for first time dates. Their menu is excellent and has quite the variety when it comes to cocktails and food.
Avneesh KohliAugust 29, 2018One 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.
SolJanuary 4, 2019Don’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.
- My favourite cocktail is easily the Light Me Up. They coat the glass with a Szechuan peppercorn sugar lick!
- Ros O'FlynnJanuary 7, 2022Nice 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.
aanwarApril 29, 2018Located behind Patent Coffee. Great Speakeasy. Love the dim lit atmosphere and attentive staff.- Alexandria McGrathJune 26, 2018It’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.
Tyler BennettJuly 14, 2018When you're trying to get in, go to the door to Patent Coffee and wait. When they see you, they'll buzz you in.
Marina TunesSeptember 9, 2018very original idea, this secret bar offers great drinks and friendly service. during the sun light, go for the coffee.
Matt MitgangNovember 23, 2019Tiny bar hidden inside a basement coffee shop. Well rounded cocktail list, with a few playing off of the coffee shop outside.
KatNovember 27, 2019Great hidden spot for cocktails. If there’s a wait (it’s tiny), they will text you when a spot is ready.
Plamena ГеоргиеваFebruary 3, 2019Such a cute spot and the drinks are SO good! The bartenders are super nice and friendly.
Chrissy ConnorsJune 10, 2019Really cute - not too loud that you can’t have a conversation. Expensive but very good cocktails- L. S.August 23, 2018Not your everyday bar bar but if You’re in the mood for elevated cocktails then bingo! Small and “hidden” but worth finding.
Kelsey LFebruary 18, 2019All the cocktails we tried were great. And the bartenders are really fun and friendly. We'll be back.
Alex BosworthNovember 4, 2018Good place to take out-of-town guests but go early in order to get a seat otherwise you’ll have to wait
Lee WalkerOctober 9, 2019Get 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- Nick LoweryFebruary 8, 2019Cool 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.
- DoubleDeuceJanuary 31, 2022Fun place that's a hidden speakeasy and everything is themed about patents. So be sure to take your favorite patent-seeking person!
- Kasiana MclenaghanJanuary 12, 2019It’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.
Michael G.November 10, 2018Coffee bar in front, hidden cocktail bar in back. Light Me Up cocktail was just okay
LaDawn Penigar-MitchellMarch 10, 2022Not 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.
