“Bathtub Gin was hands down the highlight of our entire NYC trip and honestly one of the most magical nights we have ever had! The burlesque performance left us absolutely mesmerized. Jaw-dropping talent, incredible energy, and pure entertainment from start to finish. We were completely swept away! The cocktails were phenomenal. The Drop a Dime Collins and Don’t Take Wooden Nickels were so beautifully crafted that every sip felt like a little celebration. And the Swiss Chard and Feta Pies? Oh my goodness, delicious doesn’t even cover it. We were fighting over the last piece! A huge shoutout to our server Enrique who was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel so welcome all night. He made a perfect night even more perfect. If you are visiting NYC and skip Bathtub Gin, you are truly missing out. This place has soul, charm, incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that transports you to another world. We will absolutely be back and we are already talking about it days later. Do yourself a favor and just go!”
“Loved the place and the vibe was just perfect: exactly what you picture when you think of speakeasy! The cocktails were great, so many flavors, well balanced and the staff was very nice as well. An experience I’d 100% recommend!”
“A true speakeasy experience. We just went for a after-dinner drink but would love to go back for the entertainment. The vibe is retro and the service attentive. It wasn't very crowded when we arrived but I could imagine the small space might get overwhelmed later in the evening. Drinks were tasty, especially the BTG espresso martini.”
“Stop. Put this spot on your list as a must-visit. This is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan. The drinks are on point, the staff is exceptional at everything and the vibe is super chill. The bouncer got us in quickly, we got our drinks in short order and when a table opened up, one of the servers actually came over to us to get us seated (even though we weren't technically waiting for a table!!!). There was a DJ there when we visited, who was excellent. It was busy but never got overcrowded. The cocktails were delicious. Can't wait to go back.”
“Popped in for a drink as the name caught my eye. Ambiance wise its a tight spot that gets loud so if you're looking for something more relaxing, or intimate I would not recommend this spot. Their drinks are okay, but they do have a nice selection of gin, however I would of hoped to have more of a variety in their cocktail menu that extended well into their very diverse gin menu. They do have a mandatory coat check, which I think its a good call considering it gets crowded. Overall the decor was nice, but unfortunately was not a huge fan of the spot as it felt it was more emphasized in the decor rather than the cocktail experience as a whole.”
