The Upper East Side’s version of a speakeasy is set behind a faux locksmith and shoe repair shop—it’s a cute conceit. Inside it’s a bit of a frat party with the DJ going full retro (lots of Madonna and Michael Jackson), and the drinks served, sadly, at room temperature. Still the atmosphere is friendly, the disco ball makes it feel festive, and I’m sure at least one bar goer will someday regale their grandchildren with tales of meeting the love of their life in this hidden place.
