It's hard to call this a "speakeasy" since its front door is anything but hidden. Still, the cocktails and cuisine here are some of the best prohibition-revival offerings in NYC.
Live jazz every night, a full kitchen, and some of the friendliest waiters I've met. This place is a gem that serves nothing but quality drinks, without pretension.
Amazing selection of bottled beer. Dark and dank speakeasy with a great music playlist.
Bentons Old Fashioned: bacon infused bourbon, maple syrup, bitters. Fantastic.
Romantic, underground. I saw a tip saying "blink and walk by the entrance" and it's true. Delicious drinks-got Keylime martini, Desert rose
Like a frat party on a boat. But still very fun and thier white sangria and garlic fries are TRUTH
Holy Jesus, D.B.A. has awesome beers. They had Double Dead Guy Ale, which I didn't even know existed... (Awesome)

Two floors. Three bars. See a killer band in an intimate setting or dance the night away to fantastic DJs.
Just steps from the Boom Boom Room, a 4-ft.-deep rooftop pool welcomes the scantily-clad, while AstroTurf pads well-heeled feet. Tip: Forgot your suit? Buy a bikini at the vending machines.

Madam Geneva is known for its fruity preserves—all of which can be served over ice with Beefeater gin or 42 Below vodka. Think: pineapple vanilla bean, pear ginger and cranberry orange.
