"We had the best night at Employees Only! 🍸 A complete and delicious experience from start to finish. All the food we had was amazing, but the table-side steak tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed everything — our waitress and all the staff were absolutely fantastic, and the midnight burlesque was unforgettable, especially for me 😄. Thank you for an incredible experience! ❤️"

"Employee Only is a classic NYC spot with great vibes and excellent cocktails. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, and the drinks are always on point. Perfect place to start or end the night."

"Great atmosphere & super cozy vibes, great music and good reasonably priced drinks. The team was caring and attentive, didn’t get the chance to eat but the menu looked amazing, will be back & recommend you to go 👏 sick design and a real wood fire as a plus"

"Once considered a standout among New York’s speakeasies, this bar still delivers well-executed cocktails that meet expectations in terms of balance and technique. However, in the context of an increasingly competitive cocktail scene, it now feels somewhat overshadowed — particularly when it comes to creativity in presentation and the use of innovative ingredients. That said, the quality remains solid, and for those seeking a classic speakeasy experience with reliably crafted drinks, it still holds its place."

"An unforgettable experience at Employees Only thanks to Kevin 🙌. The cocktails were simply out of this world: each drink was crafted with such creativity and balance of flavors that felt unimaginable. No exaggeration—it was truly some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had in my life 🍸✨. The service was impeccable, the attention top-notch, and the atmosphere spectacular. Kevin has an incredible talent behind the bar, turning every drink into a true masterpiece. I 100% recommend this place. If you want to experience world-class cocktails and a truly unique vibe, Employees Only with Kevin is the perfect spot."
