If you love great cocktails, this hidden speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! From entering with a secret passcode to the very last sip, the entire experience is incredible. It has easily earned a spot as one of my favorite bars of all time. The underground space flawlessly captures a raw, seedy, 1980s rock 'n' roll vibe, with eclectic decor that extends beautifully to the themed menus and custom glassware. Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC! read more

The Woo Woo is loud and touristy--and honestly, that kind of sums it up. They market it as a speakeasy, which... technically yes. You need a password (easy to find online), and you go through a hidden door down a staircase. But it feels more like a novelty than anything else. 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. read more

Who knew a random Tuesday could feel like such a vibe? From the moment you walk up and give the password to get in, you instantly feel like you're part of something special. The whole experience is fun, a little mysterious, and honestly just exciting. The inside is just as stylish as the staff--everyone fits the energy perfectly and makes the night even better. And the food? Surprisingly really good, not just an afterthought like most spots like this. Definitely one of those places that turns an ordinary night into something memorable. read more

Themed speakeasy bar with an 80s sex shop vibe. Great location if you're around Times Square. The cocktail list was great, and I recommend getting the Just the Tip cocktail ($19) because it comes with the flame theatrics. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't busy at all. The bartender was fantastic--funny, casual, and personable. It's a cool, kitschy spot to check out for a drink or bite if you like themed speakeasies. The password is on their website. read more

Hell Yes, I recommend this speakeasy. By far the best one in NYC for fun, excitement, great cocktails and 80's entertainment. The inside truly resembles a club from back in the day. As soon as you walk in you are catapulted back in time to NYC when it was raw, seedy and ALIVE! For NYC cocktail prices, you get a bang (well not literally) for your buck! The cocktails are well curated and strong. Food is typical comfort type food that compliments the strong cocktails. I can't wait to introduce The Woo Woo to other victims : ) read more

Such a fun experience for a girls night out. We absolutely loved the vibes, and all the drinks were amazing aka they tasted great and def got us lit too. The staff was also super friendly and accommodating. They also have a photobooth that we def made the most of. I will recommend getting a reservation, especially if you have a large group. Otherwise, you get put by the bar and there isn't a lot of space near that area. read more

I finally went to The Woo Woo speakeasy with two friends who had been here before. A passcode is required for entry and it is located below Mean Fiddler. Per their website "The Woo Woo is serving up 1980's vibes, craft cocktails and risque seduction in this underground speakeasy sex shop." Conveniently located in Hell's Kitchen/Theater District near trains. Party of 3 on a Friday night. We reserved in advance. Note that there is a 90 minute seating limit. We had a 6:30 reservation and there were large groups still being seated when we left. We all love the vibe, the music, and the 80s movies being shown on the TV screens (Flash Dance!) The staff was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. For cocktails we had: Sex cures anxiety Purple rain Dirty dancing The Dominatrix Morning wood Pretty in Pink We shared food: Buffalo chicken spring rolls French fry nachos Carne asada tacos (They were out of the fish tacos and the shrimp dish. We originally wanted the fish tacos.) One person in our party already has plans to come back this month. I would definitely come back. read more

Excellent little speakeasy located about a block away from Times Square. It's essentially an unsuspecting little sex shop turned drinking spot... the drinks are actually really good here and super creative. Totally a spot worthy of checking out if you're in the area.

Randomly stumbled on this speakeasy and I loved it, right next door to the mean fiddler, make reservations so that you can retrieve the password to enter. This place was such a vibe, 80's/90's theme. Old tube tvs playing classics such as the breakfast club, Ferris bullers day off and so much more. Great music and service. The waitress was amazing and so were the drinks the purple rain was a must, and the dirty dancing as well. I highly recommend. There's a Photo Booth for pictures, nostalgic photos hung around the place from classic moments in time. I loved it. Bring a date, bring the girls, bring some friends you'll have a great time. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while and I am so glad I did! My two besties and I came for drinks after a show and we had the best time. I love the music selections and that you can hear the music but are still able to talk to your friends. Drinks are all fun themed and the food ended up being better than I was expecting it to be. I had the dirty dancing and sex cures anxiety drinks and the sliders for food. Service was good and we had a great overall visit. read more

The staff here is friendly and the service was great. To get in, you need to say the secret password. The theming inside is really retro and makes you feel like you went back in the past. The place was lively and it was a fun spot. There was a decent amount of seating inside and they sell food too. I got the little mermaid and this other drink with toasted marshmallow at the top. The drinks were both really tasty and good quality. Just like the many drinks I've tried in New York, the drinks are expensive. I recommend making a reservation here. read more

I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and it was a blast. I came here looking for 80s vibes and that's what I got with a side of sex toy store. The neon lights and retro ceilings take you back to the seedy streets of 80s New York. They honor this side of New York with drinks called Pornstar and Blowjob. The music is also from the 80s and even though it may not seem like a big enough spot but there was room to dance and the dj would add to the party vibe by spotlighting the birthday girls. The food was good as well. I enjoyed the sliders and the wings. I would definitely come back here another night for drinks and dancing. read more

The Woo Woo is located very close to Times Square and you have to supply the entry word that can be found on the website! The reservations were hard to make online but it seemed that some error had occurred but I called and put in a reservation. The space is fun and very spacious! Most speakeasy's are much smaller. The drinks? Stellar! The food? Stellar and the service was stellar. This is a Greta place to check out as a couple or small group. I'd return and would encourage others to as well! read more

My friend and I went there for a birthday and it was so fun! They did a really fun shout out and gave us free shots and that was amazing for the big night.

Side note: it was my first trip to New York and I fell in love with this city! (Yes I'm making my way back to the city) Of course, it was my first time trying a sexy speakeasy in NY. I've seen folks raved about this hidden gem so an add to my itinerary. I've enjoyed the ambience here. It gave an intimate, moody fun feel to it. I love where an energetic crowd is located and here you will find. This spot hides in the basement area and nope not hard to miss. However, before striding down to the spook sexy level, you must ring the bell on the street level. The host will ask you for the password before letting you in, which I thought was fun! I'm like okayyy this feels exclusive haha Come here during your next trip to NY...a time here will be a memory to keep. Thank you, Woo Woo! read more

Closer to a 3.5 rating, the concept of the bar is fun and different especially given that you need a password to get it (available on the website) and the entrance inside is a bookshelf. However, we went in without a reservation and the hostess pointed out that it was standing room only and to not sit at the tables. We were under the impression that maybe they were so busy or had lots of reservations that we could not sit, however, there was probably less than 10 tables with guests the entire time we were there. Not sure if it was due to servers available. Overall the drinks were good and they had games available and a photo booth to take pictures in. read more

Who doesn't love a good speakeasy?! I came here a few days ago with some girlfriends to kill some time before a dinner reservation and we had a great time. The entrance for the place is some really cool looking sex shop, you enter through a door that is filled with VHS sex tapes and you are then transported back into the 80's. All of the waitresses here were beyond amazing, they were very nice and helpful I never mind paying for a high priced drink as long as it's worth it and the drinks here were spot on. Not only were they strong but they were delicious. Even the drinks that seem to be very surgery to the eye were made perfectly. I didn't have a chance to try any of the food but they had a decent bar menu. It was a great vibe all around and worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

This place was so much fun! It has such a fun vibe, kind of like if you wanted to go to a club, but you didn't wanna dance and be around a bunch of sweaty people, you just around a bunch of fun people who are having a good time. The theming was on point, and there was something new to look at at every single corner. The drinks were all so yummy-- all the ones we tried were SO fun and inventive, and we really loved how interactive everybody was and how much fun the staff seem to be having. read more

The Woo Woo - Polaroid we got from one of the drinks! - Speakeasies Near Me - New York, New York

This may be more of a four star review, for reasons I'll explain, but I'm going with five stars because of the vibe. I compare this to the Percy Jackson scene where they are stuck in the casino, overwhelmed with pleasure, losing track of time. I was sucked in by the 80s tunes and the retro themes. The nostalgia was STRONG. The drinks are fine. Fun, but not sophisticated. Some a little sweet. Some came with quirky little asides, like sugar laid across records like cocaine. Some of the names of my drinks included: Purple Rain, Just the Tip, Pretty in Pink, Panty Dropper, Qualude, and Dominatrix. The food is all bar food. Sandwiches, wings, etc. I had fries topped with cheese, which were fine. Would be especially good drunk food. The one complaint I had about this spot was that my server seemed to be biased against me. He treated the table next to me (two different sets of people) more amicably than me. Maybe because I'm fat, or a single diner, I dunno, but it took him quite a while to warm up to me. To the point that he gave the table next to me free shots, then turned to me afterward and said, "I'll give you one too." Not cool. There is a cool s*x shop and retro neon outside. There is a password to get in, available on their website. Pretty cool overall. read more

The Woo Woo - My girls and I having a blast at the Woo Woo ! - Speakeasies Near Me - New York, New York

This was a tremendous find when it comes to speakeasies. When you think about these types of locations -- needing a password to be allowed inside, a hidden entrance to the actual bar, a cool, slightly sleazy theme (or, in this case, a very sleazy one) -- this embodies what I at least search for when seeking a speakeasy. The Woo Woo is class. Located on West 47th in the Theater District, you have to look for the subtle signage on a narrow strip of building to find the door. When it's not peak establishment hours, you can approach the front door, which has a speaker box. After you press the speaker button and receive a response from the person downstairs, you need to provide a password -- it's located on the website if you can find it. Once you're accepted for entry, you descend a largely graffiti-covered stairwell that sets the tone for the 1980s Times Square vibes, where a hodgepodge of risqué bars and theaters once stood. Once you make it the equivalent of two or three floors down underground, you reach the main greeting area that resembles an underground sex shop with deep red lighting and neon lights, with a barrage of sex toys arranged like they would be for sale. Upon giving my name for the reservation I had made, the hostess led us through a dark, cloth-like, red curtain that revealed bookshelves filled with what seemed to be old videotapes. While it looks like a dead end at first, some lever is pulled that I didn't see, and a door with one of the shelving apparatuses opens, revealing the stunning 80s-style bar that seems inspired by the British gay bar Heaven from that time frame. There was a space in the area that looked set up for a dance floor based on the lighting, but it was still early enough in the day for additional tables. Upon being seated, we settled in and reviewed the various craft cocktail options, which had names with sexual innuendos (Sex Cure Anxiety, for example), as music played from the speakers and the movie "Back to the Future" played on one of the TV screens. My first drink was called the Spit or Swallow, which was served in a swallow bird-shaped glass with an opening in the tail end for a straw to be inserted for drinking. Made with tequila, blue curaçao, jalapeño, pineapple, and lime, the drink was quite delightful and ensured there would be no spitting... only swallowing. My second drink was called Just the Tip, which was the opposite of my first drink. It was a bourbon-based cocktail, made with rosemary, winter spices, black walnut, lemon, and torched cinnamon -- yes, they use a small flame thrower to light the cinnamon stick on fire, allowing the flavors to take off. More than just a tip, I would say! The staff was lovely, especially the server who served us, who gave us a complimentary set of Woo Woo Shots, their trademark, made with vodka, fresh peach, cranberry, & lime, served in a 1980s-style shot glass. The shots come with a small record-like board that has cut-up lines of what looks like powdered sugar that is supposed to resemble a drug -- use your imagination. The Woo Woo is quite the delight of a bar if you like a little bit of sleaziness and fun times, with some quirky drinks that allow you to live your best life. read more

The Woo Woo is located under the Mean Fiddler through a separate entrance. You need a password - so check their website under "access" for the latest password, it is always changing. When you enter, you descend down a flight of stairs (unsure if the space is ADA accessible) and enter a small sex shop. From there, you check in and the host instructs you to push a wall of VHS tapes and you enter the bar. The bar is 80s Times Square sex shop themed with 80s music playing and disco lights shining. The drink menu is large as is the food menu. All drinks are original concoctions and I haven't had a bad one. I like the Purple Rain especially. The "Just the Tip" drink is set on fire when they bring it to your table! They also usually have a variety of seasonal fun cocktails too. I had the Rampant Rabbit Easter drink today. Staff is generally friendly. Sometimes service can be a little slow and you need to flag them down if it gets busy. Plenty of vegetarian food options as well. This is a fun, kitschy bar right off of Times Square that is perfect for groups who don't mind some tongue in cheek references. read more

I've been to many speakeasy's in Las Vegas, but surprisingly this was my first one in New York City. I was so excited to come to this place on a day off with my boyfriend and it did not disappoint! Most of the speakeasy's in New York City are located in lower Manhattan so I was happy to find this one in the heart of Times Square. It looks like the security works for both the bar on the right and this speakeasy on the left so you will be prompted to check your ID immediately. The speakeasy is not as secretive as I thought as the sign was right on top of the door. However, you do need to ring a doorbell to get in and you need to provide a password that you obtain from their website. The website design is sooo cool and retro. I recommend checking out the menu on there as well! Once we were buzzed in, we walked down a colorful staircase into a room where we were greeted by the frinedly hostess. She led us behind the curtains where we stood in front of a false shelf that turned out to be the door into the speakeasy. Clicking a button to the right and pushing the door simultaneously, we walked into what felt like a 90s bar. So dim, but colorful yet calm. We were seated on one of the side tables with a border which I liked putting my drinks on for nice pictures. Our waitress and the waitress that subbed for her when our main waitress was on lunch were both so nice! There's even a DJ playing music near the entrance. I was not sure what drink to get at first, but my boyfriend ordered the Dirty Dancing which turned out to be my favorite with the torched meringue on top and vanilla flavor on the bottom. He then ordered Panty Dropper without the spicy rim which was a bit strong for me. We also ordered the buffalo chicken spring rolls which were delicious! Crispy on the outside with meat on the inside and two sauces - a creamy blue cheese and a spicy buffalo sauce with a kick! I dipped it in both and it was so good! After chilling for awhile enjoying the nice music, we decided to get our second drinks. I always like piña coladas so I decided to try the Chasing Rainbows. It was definitely on the stronger side and I do prefer my piña coladas frozen. However, I loved the lucky charms marshmallows on top. I ate them all and gave the drink to my boyfriend. And he ordered the Eye of the Tiger which I believe was the strongest drink out of the four. He enjoyed it though! I would love to come back to get my Dirty Dancing drink and try more apps!! The restroom in the back was very clean as well and had multiple stalls. A 20% gratuity is automatically added to your check. After we paid, we used the photo booth which was $6.50 for two strips. It was such a nice souvenir with the Woo Woo on it! read more

Went to grab a drink here between shows and I had so much fun I was sad we had to leave! The fact that this felt like a true speak easy with needing a password and a secret door opening into the bar itself was so much fun! The drinks were good and strong. I highly recommend the cauliflower bites! I would go back just for the cauliflower bites. The feeling of a retro 80ies vibe and having board games to play while waiting for your order was a lot of fun. We then discovered the photo booth before we head out and my goodness I haven't laughed that hard over simple photo booth pictures in a long time. Especially when the panic comes of the next photo being taken. I would say the drinks are good not the absolute best drinks you'll ever have but certainly good and strong. It was really everything else about the Woo Woo that makes this a stellar place to go to! read more

A friend and I popped in for a drink, after the Knick's win, waiting for the crowds to abate, The 80s music was fabulous! They have a strange practice of requiring to hold both a credit card and government issued ID, until the check arrives. We were seated at a table, These days, even if credit cards are taken, they are swiped and returned. I have never experienced my ID being held. It definitely made me uncomfortable and would prevent me from ever returning to this establishment. The drinks were average. read more

I had a great experience there. Needed a passcode to enter and it would lead you down an underground stairway. The stairway was really cool with graffiti all over the place. The servers were really nice and patient. The drink menu does have some really funny names. I ended up getting the spit or shallow and dirty dancing. The spit and shallow do have a nice hint of jalapeños and it really blends well with the drink. At the end of the night, you can end it with photos at the photo booth! read more

Very fun atmosphere with the 80s nostalgia and the hysterical drink and menu names. We stopped in here for a post-dinner drink (didn't eat). I found the whole entry and password routine so entertaining. Drinks were enjoyable. They had 3 tv screens, playing Flashdance, Sixteen Candles, and the Blue Lagoon sequel (would suggest a change up there, the movie is not that fun to watch with or without audio). Patrons around us ordered food like the sliders and fries, which looked good. We took home a fun momento from the Photo Booth. read more

Staff is very friendly and service is great once you're inside it transforms into a lively and louder speakeasy.

I loved the idea of a Speakeasy, as I had never been to one. As promised, we needed a password that was asked for before they unlocked the door. We walked down stairs that were spray painted with 80s everything. When we reached the hostess stand, there was a little museum like area with everything sex. It reminded me of the Provincetown sex museum. We all had to provide an ID to enter. We pushed a button and moved a wall rack of VHS tapes as promised and entered into a very cool restaurant. There were lights everywhere, amazing 80s music and 80s movies playing on every tv. We had a waitress and a waiter come to our table within minutes. We ordered cocktails and then when he came back, our food. The menu was great. My wife had the Big Mac quesadilla and she said it was amazing. Two of us had the grilled cheese beefsteak and the meat inside was SO GOOD. It came with tortilla chips and homemade guac that was fantastic. The nacho fries were so good and a meal in themselves. The truffle fries were a little weak and flavorless but the fry itself was good. Our reservation was at 615 and we knew there was a 90 minute time limit for tables but we were asked to leave at 730. Our bill was $357 which included 4 meals, 2 sides and 7 drinks with tip. We were a little disappointed that we could stay the full 90 minutes because I still had a drink. I'd like to try it again but maybe in the less busy season. read more

Truly unique speakeasy bar that hits all the right (80's) notes. First off, this is a true speakeasy: it's hard to find, you have to make reservations, and the cocktail are original! Second, the whole vibe is like 80's NY grime while tripping on acid, even if you are sober. Still intrigued? Good you should be! This is one of the best bars in Manhattan. Drinks: 5/5. creative, strong, and tasty. They look as good as they taste! Food: 4/5. A lot of tasty fried choices but wish they had pizza! Still, the options are good And prices are as expected for a midtown bar. Service: 4/5. Although it can be quite loud and dark (being a speakeasy) the waiters were pretty attentive and seemed to be just care free enough to reflect the 80's under the influence vibe Atmosphere: 5/5. If you don't want loud 80's music and neon spray painted walls, don't visit. But if you're cool with it, you will immerse yourself in the vibe! read more

A friend and I planned a date night and wanted to go somewhere we've never been before. Knowing I like speakeasy's my friend recommended we try The Woo Woo. Located right next to The Mean Fiddler, we walked up to a bouncer in all black who asked for the password to enter The Woo Woo. Once given, he asked for our ID and pressed the buzzer. The person who answered also asked for the password and once we said it, they let us in. The inside was well lite and completely full of graffiti. You have to go down two flights of stairs and when you get to the bottom you entered into a very small porn shop. It felt like you stepped into the 80s/early 90s. We had the option to take photos and look around and then the hostess told us how to enter the actually bar itself. Once in, we were meet with an 90's style bar with multiple TVs playing shows from that era. My friend and I sat closer to the bar; I was facing a TV playing The Fresh Prince and my friend was facing the TV that played Sex In the City. The music was also from the 90's. It was a cool vibe. The drinks and food have funny, sexual names and we ordered a few things. For drinks, I ordered Sex Cures Anxiety, which was a spin on a French 75. I thought it was tasty but just a little too sweet. My friend ordered Morning Wood. For food we ordered the Slide'her In Chicken Sliders and the French Fry Nachos. The sandwiches were good, you get three per serving and the nachos were spicy and delicious. Overall, I enjoyed it and could see how it would be a fun spot to hang with friends. It didnt give me the "speakeasy" vibe I was looking for. It was very 90s and kinda give me Stranger Things era. read more
