    Gin Mill Gimlet and S'mores Old Fashioned
    Lianna T.

    Hidden behind a coffee shop, Bathtub Gin is a elevated, sophisticated, dimly lit, cozy surprise when you enter. We were seated at a booth and it was the perfect spot to talk, catch-up and enjoy. Our waiter was kind and attentive, helping us with our order. We ordered the Gin Mill Gimlet and S'mores Old Fashioned, which were both delicious. The S'mores Old Fashioned was especially tasty and I would definitely order again. A perfect spot to go for a date or with friends that feels somewhat hidden and makes for a special night.

    I reeeaally loved this cocktail bar! Their drinks are truly an art and absolutely fantastic. Our server had such great knowledge about various liquors and cocktails and flavor palettes. The atmosphere is sooo intimate and moody. Great for a date or a small party. Will absolutely be coming back!!

    Small speakeasy with a moody, dimly-lit ambiance! Perfect for a date! I stopped by Bathtub Gin with a group of 6 friends for post-dinner drinks and their Make Your Own S'mores experience. The table they sat us at was very small for our large party, but I loved the decor and dark vibe of the bar. The s'mores were fun to make, but nothing that I couldn't get from the grocery store and put together on my own! Would skip next time!

    This 1920's speakeasy is hidden behind Stone Street coffee shop. Once you enter, there is a required coat check (at least during the winter days). Since there was a live band playing (it was a Wednesday night), they did charge $10pp for table seats and $5pp for the standing bar. We opted for the bar area where we were eventually able to snag some bar stools. We had a few rounds here as I was able to try Drop A Dime Collin's ($19), S'mores Old Fashioned ($20), Ducky Highball ($19), and Live Wire ($19). I did enjoy the old fashioned which was strong, but found the live wire to be way too sweet. The band that was playing had great vibes playing lots of old school R&B, which I loved. Good vibes overall with some decent drinks. The music can get quite loud, but the live music is fun.

    Waited a bit in line to get in for a drink. No tables, just standing room available. I got the s'mores old fashioned and it was delicious! Love the marshmallow it came with too. Would come back to try other options as well.

    Great ambiance and aesthetic with delicious drinks. Surprisingly, it wasn't insanely loud inside and the tables are spaced such that it isn't as crowded as some other speakeasies or bars. I really liked their vintage magazine/menu style which was a nice tough in addition to the usual QR code menu that was available. Drinks were reasonable for NYC (~$20 each) and leaned heavily towards coffee and s'mores themed variations. Service is friendly and efficient, although I was turned off by the fact that they have a bathroom attendant. Not sure why a speakeasy needs one, but did not like the fact that they kept gesturing towards their Venmo and tip jar for turning on the water faucet and handing me paper towels. Gives off a club vibe but other than that it was enjoyable. Was relatively easy to secure a reservation and they give you two hours which is more generous than most!

    I've had this spot on my list forever. However, when you're the gin lover of your crew you get vetoed often. But not this night. A friend and I met here on Thursday after-work and just about fell in deep like with this place. We got there pretty early so we had our pick with seating and sat in the middle on one of the cute round couches. We decided to forego the bathtub b/c we didn't want to struggle getting out of it. Lol We tried one of the G&Ts, but I couldn't tell you which. I can tell you it was refreshing and satisfying. I also had the sangria. That was good as well, just a lil on the sweet side. We shared an order of the chicken sliders since we were inhaling drinks. Lol Service was excellent and I'm sure our waiter practiced patience when trying to figure of which G&Ts we wanted to try. Lol. Super cute spot to meet up with friends or date night. I'll definitely be back.

    Adorable speakeasy that is such a vibe. drinks and small plates were perfection. I will definitely be returning when we have more time!

    Literally loved this bar. The people were all very friendly and the inside had a super cool vibe. However it was so hot in there. The silver screen martini actually tasted like coconut popcorn. Super boozy but I loved it. The espresso martini was incredible. Would definitely recommend this bar.

    Bathtub Gin is a cute spot located near Chelsea Market. There was a line when we arrived but we had a reservation. Inside, the music was really loud and the atmosphere was dark, overall offering a fun vibe. There was also an iconic gold/copper bathtub in the middle of the venue. They are known for their gin and tonics, of which they offer a huge variety of. These are my go to drinks but this one was a bit on the stronger and less sweet side (I usually add a dash of lime juice) than I'm used to. We also ordered the pork belly which was superrr salty. However, it was a decently sized portion. Overall, we had a good time!

    Tiffany V.

    On our second visit, we decided to try some other drinks on their menu and the food here! Slo and Easy was my favorite of the bunch we tried! Food was also unexpectedly amazing! We had the pork belly, cucumber salad, and the potato dauphinoise! Would recommend all three! Service was a bit on the slower side as they were quite busy, but they do not rush you out by any means if you have a reservation.

    Overall, the ambiance and cocktails were pretty mid and underwhelming. But the service was extremely under par for the strict reservation policies and price point. We were flying into New York to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. I had made a reservation for 2 at 11 pm on a Friday night since it was a cocktail bar he really wanted to try. Their cancellation policy on Resy states that your table will be given away if you are over 15 minutes late and that there is a $25 cancellation fee per person. They say to call if you will be over 15 minutes late. Our flight was delayed so making the reservation was going to be tight. For some reason their phone was constantly busy so this was a very stressful experience. I texted back the resy confirmation text around 10 pm but didn't receive a response until after our 11 pm reservation time. So this whole experience was very stressful and we are rushing from the airport to the hotel to drop off bags to the bar. I manage to arrive to the bar at 11:16 pm. Since it's a speakeasy it was unclear where Bathtub Gin was. I noticed a line so I walked in since I had a reservation and they had a strict policy. Immediately when I entered the security/bouncer spoke very aggressively and said "you can't be in here. You have to go outside." There was no greeting and his tone was so aggressive that I thought I had entered the wrong place, I briefly saw the word "Stone Street" in the establishment and thought he was being aggressive because I had rudely cut the line for a weed shop. So I asked "is this bathtub gin?" And the women from behind the counter said yes it is very politley. Then the security/bouncer said again in a very firm tone "go outside. We have a system." He did not say what that system was so we went outside and stood in line on the right. he yelled from inside at us "NO NO THE LEFT. RESERVATIONS ON THE LEFT!" I felt this was a little unprofessional and at this point was unsure if our table was already given away based on the strict reservation policy. We waited out side on the left for 10 minutes as he let everyone else in line in and chatted with them in a friendly manner. I felt very confused and singled out. When we were eventually let in, the bar was very loud and the music was also very loud. It was very hard to talk in the bar and we were reminded of the maximum stay of 2 hours. Although we left much earlier than that. The cocktails themselves were very mid and nothing unique or special. I had ordered the gin gimlet and olives (we missed dinner to rush to the bar). My boyfriend had the high ball (which was too sweet in my opinion). I didn't understand why all their policies were so strict and why this bar was crowded and popular to be honest. The service was also underwhelming the entire time. It ways took multiple tries to get someone's attention to order or even get the check. The held up the check above my head for a few minutes like I was raising my hand in a classroom to ask a question and no one noticed.... The only person on top of it was the man designated to refill water. My water glass never went below half way. The service and whole experience was subpar for all of the policies.

    I came here one evening with friends and this is a pretty solid bar. The interior is dimly lit and pretty casual with a vintage vibe. The drinks here are pretty solid, and service is good too! Nice speakeasy vibe with a focus on gin.

    Do I need to make a reservation for the bar or just if we plan on eating?

    You need a reservation for the tables but not if you are planning on being at the bar. There may be a wait to get into the establishment though depending what day/time you go

    Is there a limit of people you can make a reservation for?

    For private events, 100 guests standing or 50 seated. For regular reservations, 8 people per table. No limit on the number of tables.

    If dinner reservations are made for a Sunday, is the room the same room as the show or seating for dinner is separate?

    It's all one big room, you should be fine!

    What time is the burlesque show at on sundays- during brunch at 2:30 or at night?

    Yes there are two shows on sunday one foe brunch 2:30 and one in the evening 8:45 and they have one on Tuesday's aswell 8:45

    Sundays and Tuesdays I believe at 9:45pm :)

    Great place? the best gin martinis in town

    It is fantastic and the drinks are delicious! One of the best in NYC.

NYC has way more iconic speakeasies, so this isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way for more than once. Nothing wrong with the vibe--it's Times Square, so you already know what you're getting--but it's definitely a one-and-done kind of spot. The drinks are good and super fun, but they're very extra (smoke, presentation, all that), so between that and how packed it gets, it can take a while just to get one cocktail. Didn't try the food. Overall, go for the pics and TikToks--it's perfect for that. I'd recommend checking it out once, but I don't really see it being a repeat spot.

The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.

It IS a small bar, but there were only about 4-5 folks here already, engrossed in a conversation at the bar that anyone could join. I quietly took a seat at one of the 3 tables on the plush high-top bench and the lone, friendly bartendress was immediately attentive (I was greeted the moment I stepped through the door!). Now, there's no ACTUAL liquor here, ONLY the beer and wine on the small menu, so don't try asking her to whip you up something not on the menu. Luckily for me, there was a fruity sangria special, so I opted for that, served with a decorative shark adornment and a metal straw, and was immediately given a little bucket of popcorn to accompany it. Now, this is part of the reason why I wanted to check this place out. Fresh popcorn is my weakness. Bars that give free snacks with drinks are top tier in my book. You could probably lure me into the back of a white van with a signature red and white filled popcorn bucket. So I sat, and I sipped, and I munched, and I listened to the conversation from the others, and the bartendress, god bless her, would check on my bucket and refill it any time it got low. Now I'm really a mixed drink girly, but the vibes were SO cool here that I would most definitely come back. :D Also note, there's cool little padded seating by the window that I noticed that would be great for people-watching outside.
