Employees Only is a legendary Art Deco speakeasy hidden behind a fortune teller's lair in Manhattan's West Village, operating continuously since 2004. The intimate space features a curving bar, vintage touches like overhead luggage racks and backlit paintings, and bartenders in white jackets who free-pour cocktails with precision under the leadership of head bartender Frank Maldonado. Known for creating industry classics including the Amelia and Ginger Smash, the bar ranks among the world's best cocktail destinations, offering elevated comfort food until 3am alongside drinks until 4am daily.
