Basement

Basement Chinatown is a speakeasy-style cocktail bar hidden within a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine door at 45 Mott St in Manhattan's Chinatown. This underground venue features craft cocktails served in a subterranean space with dim lighting and minimalist chic decor, inspired by Hong Kong game bars. The bar offers expertly crafted, visually striking drinks including unique smoked options, complemented by beers, wines, and games such as beer pong, darts, and cards. The hidden entrance and intimate 18-seat setting create a sense of discovery and exclusivity, perfect for those seeking an unconventional cocktail experience. Operating Sunday through Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., Basement Chinatown merges playful entertainment with sophisticated mixology in one of New York's most vibrant neighborhoods.
