I really enjoyed this true speakeasy style bar. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that they were having a burlesque show that night. The show waa excellent we really enjoyed it. There is no filming during the show so you will have to go see it for yourself. I love the fact that they have an actual tub on the bar and that one of the burlesque dancers actually used it for their performance. There is a splash zone and we were in it lol but we didn't get too wet. I don't remember there being a cover but their was a burlesque fee added to our bill. I don't remember how much it was but I didn't mind it because it was worth it. I love that their menu was an actual newspaper. The service and drinks were good. read more

On a warm summer evening we decided to check out this Eclectic speakeasy downtown. Having started the night on a rooftop with incredible views of the city we decided it was time to go underground and see what we could unearth. The place slews dimly lit and we found a table pretty quickly which was a score. The drinks menus featured all sorts of concoctions of the gin variety and fairly priced for NYC. Overall it's the kind of place you need to have a cool crew with you because there isn't much interaction with any of the others in the place. But the vibe is cool and worth checking out. Bonus points to the staff that let us take pictures inside the bathtub! read more

This is another one of those places where I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We came here for a nightcap after a Broadway show, and every part of our experience was perfect. They were able to seat us right away. The food and drinks came out really quickly. The s'mores old fashioned was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The vibe of this place was perfect for a late-night drink. I'll definitely be telling all of my friends about Bathtub Gin. read more

This place is amazing! By far my favorite speakeasy experience in New York City! Everything from the service, to the drinks, to the burlesque show. The show was sexy and entertaining. The ambiance is a true speakeasy vibe, the show pushed it to a perfect speakeasy experience. Speaking of experiences, I got the Golden Shower Experience! Right upfront with the beautiful dancers read more

Obsessed is an understatement. A hidden speakeasy inside a coffee shop with 1920s flair. Their speciality is gin - I had the Brooklyn G&T and the espresso martini. Both were top tier. There was live music the night we went, so just know there is a cover per person. Pro tip: There's a bathroom attendant, so bring some cash to tip them. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I came here in the summer with a friend after a long walk when looking for a bar to have a quick drink. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this speakeasy near the west side highway. The experience turned out to be anything but a quick drink because we enjoyed it so much. The ambiance and mood inside were perfect for a date night. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stopped in here to get my fix for a speakeasy on the east coast. Plenty of seating with reservations or you can stand at the bar. Staff were prompt and social. There are some bites you can eat if feeling a little hungry. Something fun to do and gives you that 1920s vibe. See if you can spot the bathtub ;) read more

Very cool dark speakeasy atmosphere. The night we went (a Monday) there was a kick-ass jazz trio that made us not want to leave. The waitresses were super friendly and did not rush us out. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

One of the best in Chelsea. Very close to Le Bain. They play trendy music and have amazing espresso martinis. Recommend more as a date spot vs. a night on the town with friends since the ambiance is more laid back. Love the decor. read more

Obsessed with this place now! Went on a Monday night ~9:30/10pm to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was surprisingly so busy & such great vibes! We didn't have a reservation, but they luckily had a table available for us 5! I usually don't love live music, but they did such a great job and added a nice jazzy vibe; I also liked that they weren't too loud, so you could still comfortably chat. We ordered the sangria carafe, and it was presented nicely with fruit in all the glasses, etc.! I was also obsessed with the menus being newspapers; just loved all the little touches. I bet the espresso martini is delish since they're a coffee shop during the day (and then this place is the speakeasy behind)! They do charge a lot of fees, like I think they charged a live entertainment fee of some sort and maybe a large party fee? Though it was worth it for the fun experience! read more

Bathtub gin was all the rage back in 2015 and there was a one in a million chance of getting a reservation here. Our recent Saturday night experience here was a 180 from that. We walked in at around 6pm on a Saturday evening. All the tables were full but the crowd appeared to be transitory. There was still plenty of standing space by the bar but we got a table anyway. The espresso martini is easily the best I have ever had anywhere. Their s'mores dessert was calling our name and who knew it would be a match made in heaven with the espresso martini? It was cute and grown up at the same time. The service was on point and we walked away from here vowing to return more often. read more

AMBIENCE: (5/5) - Cozy & dimly lit, with antique furniture and colorful wall paper. A typical speakeasy vibe. Love the famous bath tub in the middle of the room - All the servers are wearing straps & collared shirts, very nice touch. Brings you back to the 1920's SERVICE: (4/5) - Standing room only if you don't have reservations, even though we were there on a rainy night during a storm with no line & plenty of tables empty - Drinks were made quickly, although we weren't ever asked how we were doing or if we wanted another drink once we were done. Most of the service had to be flagged down but when FOOD/DRINKS: (5/5) - Ducky Highball (5/5): Don't usually go for whiskey but damn, this one goes down easy. That hint of the Amaro & honey was perfect. - BTG Espresso Martini (5/5): Had a lot of espresso martinis and this one hits the mark. Perfectly sweet & bitter, hit me with a great whiff of caffeine which was must needed - Estu Yuzu Gin (4/5): very refreshing & bright. Reminds me very much like the drink version of Nami Nori's Cucumber Black Sesame Temaki roll from their Signature set OVERVIEW: (4.5/5) - Must have drink: Ducky highball - Would come here again to grab a few drinks, reservations rec if you don't want to spend all night standing read more

We went to this fun Speakeasy with a reservation at when they open for the evening. At the magic hour, a staff will come out and let you in a group at a time. Through a secret door, a whole different world opens up before you. Dim lights and romantic antique decor, you are transported to the twenties. And true to their name, they have a bathtub in there. You can take all sorts of fun pictures with, in, or around this beautiful clawfoot bathtub. We sure did! For drinks, we each ordered a different cocktail. We got Giggle Juice, a mystery cocktail with egg white, Porter's Tropical Old Tom Gin, and Bombay Premier Cru Gin & Matcha. Giggle Juice was very pineapple-y. Sweet but not overly sweet, tropical and fruity. So tasty! My husband loves a cocktails with egg white on top, so he asked about it. Our server recommended a cocktail that they can make, but not on the menu. It was really great! Porter's Tropical Old Tom Gin was nice and tropical, refreshing, and with a little kick. Bombay Premier Cru Gin & Matcha had a nice hint of matcha flavor, but not so present. This one was elegant, fruity, and so tasty! They sure make amazing cocktails here!! For food, we ordered a few items to share. Truffle Agnolotti, Royale with Cheese, and Oysters Rockefeller. They were all amazingly delicious! We enjoyed them all so much, and the portion size was pretty nice too. Totally shareable. We were super happy with the quality, flavor, and the portion. We then ordered BTG Espresso Martini and S'mores Old-Fashioned, we of course enjoyed both cocktails so much! We also added a couple of dishes, Wedge Salad and Shrimp Toast. We were once again amazed at how tasty they were, happily surprised! Since were having such an amazing time here, we decided to get some desserts to end the evening. We ordered NYC Cheesecake which was not your average cheesecake, and yes, delicious! The second item was Affogato, that came in a tea cup which was adorable, and then last but not least, S'mores, which was a real deal, make-your-own-S'mores experience. It was so much fun! Who knew you could roast your own marshmallow in a speakeasy??? This place rocked! We had a massive fun time here. The service was friendly, efficient, and we were always taken well care of. Once thing to note, the gratuity of 20% was added to our bill, which we were more than happy to oblige. The manager made sure that we were aware of it, so that we don't add another 20%. Very considerate. All the drinks and food we had were really good, we were all happy and full. We would definitely go back for more fun time in the future! read more

Cute ambiance with a bathtub right in the middle of the speakeasy and the option to jump in for a photo. I tried "Live Wire" with vodka, aperol, pineapple, passionfruit - if you like something fruity and sweet, you'll enjoy this. The only downside is it has a low ABV and our waiter gave me a heads up on this as well. The flavour was great, but I found it way too sweet even with the ice diluting the drink. I also tried the "Don't take wooden nickels" which had butterfly pea flower, vodka, ume plum. This drink was decent, more balanced than "Live Wire" but nothing that blew my mind. read more

This was advertised as burlesque on Sunday night. It was actually a drag show.. Not the same.

Got fleeced into watching Burlesque, but in terms of the place itself. Very crammed, unnecessarily loud music, especially near the entrance. Drinks were pretty mid, and the spicy drink they had really got me, man I did not do so well with it. Espresso martini was what you expected, and yea they have a large gin selection, but didn't feel like I had to come here to drink it, and the atmosphere was not really conducive to trying to really taste you drink anyway. I guess you gotta see the bathtub, but I really struggled to find anything on the menu I would come back for. read more

Bathtub Gin is a great speakeasy located near the Chelsea Market and a variety of transit options - oh! and it is also not terribly far from the High Line. The speakeasy is hidden behind a coffee shop, so you may be confused as to where to enter, but it should be easy once you see the bouncer outside. We had reservations and thankfully so - this place was packed! I wouldn't advise going without reservations as you may wait a while. They have free coat check when you walk in - I also advise taking advantage of this because the space is tiny and you won't have much room to store a bulky coat. Make sure to tip the coat check person! This person will also check you in and show you to your table. As I said, the space is pretty tiny and tables are quite close together. We didn't go on a show night, but I'd like to return to see a burlesque show. I had the low ABV drink - Sloe n Easy and it was just that, it went down very easy. My friend tried two of the gin and tonics, and I also tried one. I never had a gin and tonic but I think it may be my new favorite drink. They have a selection of various different gin and tonics - I had the Stray Dog that had a lavender garnish. We also enjoyed the charcuterie board and the tableside s'mores were a treat. Just be careful with the fire! Service was very good too. read more

Fantastic dimly-lit bar with great drinks and an intimate atmosphere. The servers are pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. A reservation is recommended here, as they get busy for happy hour on days that they offer shows. Make sure to read the fine print about surcharges on these days as well -- performers certainly deserve to get paid for their time, and customers should be making an informed decision. The only note I can offer is a mindful consideration for the garnishes on drinks -- a golden rule for service is not to garnish something you cannot eat -- as one of the cocktails came garnished with baby's breath. While it is generally safe, some people can experience gastrointestinal issues or allergic reactions from ingesting it. Otherwise, would definitely come back and will be recommending to my friends. read more

If you enjoy the atmosphere of a 1920's speakeasy, great music, and a gin lover like myself... then Bathtub Gin is an easy choice. The place feels yummy, a necessary departure from the hustle and bustle of New York City streets. Me and friend descended on Bathtub Gin one Friday evening after partaking in a delicious early dinner in the Meat Packing district. The place was full but soon after a few patrons left we were welcomed in and found a great place to stand at the top of the bar. We eagerly watched the Burlesque show and we sipped the tastiest gin cocktails. After the last performance, we tried the s'mores dessert equipped with a small grill to put some char on the marshmallows. All and all we had a blast and can't wait to return. read more
