The speakeasy tradition lives on at The Back Room. Known as one of only two speakeasies that operated during Prohibition that are still in existence today, this charming and secretive bar is a timeless example of the underbelly of New York's past. The original 1920s speakeasy known as The Back of Ratner's hosted many movie actors, gangsters and other both famous and infamous figures. Today, you can use the same hidden entrance that was used all those years ago to access this upscale, comfortable and inviting spot. Sip on a cocktail served in a teacup, the way they did in the 1920s. Enjoy the vintage decor, the secret room behind the book case, or just hang out and sample any of the hand-crafted cocktails. Featured in many productions including television shows, The Back Room's rich and authentic history sets it apart from other speakeasies, making this a must-visit when headed out for drinks.
