Employees Only

“The drinks aren’t anything extraordinary, but the vibe is so much fun. They sometimes play old pop songs, and the whole place ends up singing along. It’s a really lively atmosphere—definitely give it a try!”

“The cocktails are something I will be thinking about in the weeks to come! They are so inventive and diverse. Definitely a must try. I’ve found that in cocktail bars the food can sometimes become an afterthought and I am happy to say that was not the case with Employees Only! The food was delicious and our bartender suggested fantastic food cocktail pairings. The music was also great, sort of new age jazzy with all the classic favorites. I would recommend going on a weekday becasue the line looks quite long on the weekends”

“Had an amazing time at Employees Only. The ambiance is incredible — dark, lively, energetic, and exactly the kind of vibe you want for a great night out in New York. It was packed, but in the best way possible… full of energy and great people. The bartenders were outstanding — super talented, friendly, and brought such a fun energy to the whole experience. You can tell they really know what they’re doing and love what they do. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and an overall unforgettable night. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.”

“We had the best night at Employees Only! 🍸 A complete and delicious experience from start to finish. All the food we had was amazing, but the table-side steak tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed everything — our waitress and all the staff were absolutely fantastic, and the midnight burlesque was unforgettable, especially for me 😄. Thank you for an incredible experience! ❤️”

“Employee Only is a classic NYC spot with great vibes and excellent cocktails. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, and the drinks are always on point. Perfect place to start or end the night.”
