This place is amazing. We love the concept, and the staff is very attentive and nice. The beers were cold, and they had a nice selection for you to choose. The games are pretty cool to keep the people active and having fun while drinking and having a great time.
I really think they need to add food, and it would be one of the best places to go and have a great night. In our visit there wasn't a kitchen but they offered a very good popcorn so we gave them kudos for that !!

Such a pleasant surprise! We decided to drop in just as they opened (at 5 pm). The transition from bright/hot/bustling street above to dark/cool/peaceful basement below was amazing! Very modern/sleek/clean space. Not your grandmother's basement. Beer pong tables, kettle corn, and superb/creative/upscale craft cocktails!
Really fun and not too busy speakeasy in Chinatown! Really fun door to get it which impressed our out of town friends! Cocktail choices were great and they give you free popcorn! Can also play beer pong for free and for a few dollars a fun darts game! Lots of fun with a small or big group!
This bar is hidden down the stairs behind a coke vending machine but behind it, you’ll find a large area to relax, hang out, play some beer pong or darts. The drinks are relatively inexpensive for NYC standards and the bartenders are quick and efficient. Everyone there is very friendly and I met a few new people playing dice and beer pong! Definitely come check it out
Hidden away in Chinatown is a vibing “speakeasy”. Been there a couple times by now and the Bartenders are always interactive and on point. Good drink selection and play some games while you’re hanging out.
This place is fun and cute. Love the fact that you enter through an old Coca Cola refrigerator door. The cocktails were delicious, all about $16 each. I got the Smoke and Mirror, which is their mezcal and pineapple cocktail. The waitress brings you some free popcorn for the table. The popcorn was pretty stale and not good at all. The service was kind of spotty. We were always looking for our waitress. But, to her defense, she seemed to be the only waitress working the entire bar so we tried to be understanding of the delays in service. We ended up ordering directly at the bar because we got tired of waiting for her. They have beer pong tables and darts in the back also. Overall, a cute place for a date or a hangout with friends.
This is a very cool bar in Chinatown NYC. I enjoyed my time there and liked all the drinks I had. Great customer service and enjoyed the complimentary popcorn. The bar has a nice setup and had a good music selection.
The Shanghai mule was a fabulous drink, tasting like fresh spiked ginger tea with that dash of herbal ness from the goji berry, highly recommend this drink! The other drinks like Chinatown old fashioned and monkey king i thought we’re ok, would give those 3 stars. The sweet popcorn was a cute surprise. Bar was not too crowded with space readily available for two on a Friday evening
