The Ship is a tasteful basement speakeasy that's hidden behind a inconspicuous black door at 158 Lafayette. I recommend their off-menu drink that's similar to a Dark & Stormy called New Orleans Buck.

Super dramatic entrance through an unassuming entrance into this great subterranean bar. Expertly mixed cocktails from Little Branch alums. Recommended!

Little Branch owners' cocktail spot that's perfect for a date perched over the bar on the second floor and good for group in their big cubby tables. Bartender's choice, or anything with scotch.

My first ever bar experience in NYC. Love the tunnel like entrance which feels subtly mysterious. Great side selections. Also they mix nonalcoholic cocktails for my nonalcoholic friend

Great open space with delicious cocktails courtesy of the people behind v small bars lower branch and middle branch. You will barely see the hidden door so keep a lookout but def make a stop 🍸

Great place for a happy hour! The negroni and the agave drinks are delicious. The salmon appetizer and cheese plates were nom nom!

Get the Virgo Sun, created by Karen Jarman (once of PKNY), it's delightfully boozy and sweet with orange. Rittenhouse rye, montenegro, maple lemon, served on crushed ice.

Underground dives with cocktails that keep things classy & refreshing. Try the one with gin and grenadine or ask the waitresses for their suggestions. Awesome space, and can't wait to try their food!

Quiet, pleasing atmosphere perfect for holding intimate conversations with friends or s/o. I got strawberry mojito (not on the menu) but all drinks sound great!

Drop your anchors here. This ship makes unique twists on familiar cocktails. You'll feel like you've entered into the hull of a ship where drinking fancy cocktails is encouraged.

Dark and cozy downtown spot that's good for a date. Nothing off the charts, but a solid place to grab a drink and chat.

Well-crafted cocktails by fun and knowledgeable bartenders. Go with the bartender's choice and have them craft the perfect cocktail to your liking. If you're hungry, order the sliders.

Cocktails are great - we had gin gimlets, a spicy tequila drink with srirachi and a penicillin. Owner is there most nites and crowd is v cool.

More ice than drink, though the staff is friendly and it's an interesting ambience. Truthfully, there are many other, better cocktail bars/speakeasies in NYC.
Brad KleinMarch 30, 2016
Solid drinks + atmospherr. Bartender will solicit your fav drink ingredients and whip up custom cocktail for you! Also, gotta steal the awesome metal stirrers/straws, shhh. Hot mezcal drink = yes

You're looking for a little black door next the back entrance of the Mondrian Hotel. Once you get past the dramatic entrance, order a bartender's choice. Choice of liquor, fruit or spirit forward, etc

My favorite cocktail bar in the city. Go off menu and let the bartenders convoy something special for you. Also try the brussels sprouts - they're wonderful.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantAugust 12, 2014
FABULOUS cocktails and really chill vibe. Owner was previously with little branch. Get here before it gets crazy busy!!!
Paige AnneNovember 24, 2015
Get the Hendrick's Gin Bramble! The Ship also makes a mean Hot Toddy, I recommend it with Balvenie scotch. Cheers!
Alexis BendjouiaFebruary 7, 2015
Get the chin chin bourbon drink. Good quiet spot with nice service, great place to go if you actually want to have a conversation !
Michael Fox-RabinovitzAugust 12, 2017
Fun hidden entrance similar to attaboy, not too cozy, cool bartenders
Bliss GriffinAugust 22, 2014
I went with "bartender's choice" for my cocktail, saying I love my drinks a little spicy and a little sweet. The caipirinha he gave me was absolute perfection.
Sanjeev SreetharanAugust 15, 2014
O captain, my captain. Typical above avg speakeasyish cocktail bar fare, with a nautical tinge (upside foghorn lights). Positives are the location and that it's not super popular (yet)
Daria ZatsepinaSeptember 17, 2016
Barmans choice . Just say what you like and they make it incredible . Love this place ❤️ best speakeasy bar !
Chris RaghoobarJanuary 18, 2016
Cocktails are well-made and strong. Awesome little place for a late night outing with a group. Very cozy vibes.
MarthaMarch 19, 2015
interesting place. crowd is mature, cocktails executed well, cool room. not too big, so it gets cramped rather easily, but has a nice speakeasy vibe.
Jeff SolomonAugust 10, 2018
Unassuming entrance and very dark in the basement. Great cocktail menu
Rana RouhanaAugust 1, 2014
pick your liquor, and go for the bartender's choice. fruits are fresh, drinks are original, and bartenders are super creative!
Jack GashiFebruary 6, 2015
Great date spot. Very cool interior, good strong drinks (Bartenders choice all day), and solid app fare.
LjubicaJanuary 20, 2016
If you come on the early side (by 9:30pm) you'll skip the long line. Cocktails are spectacular, thanks the the incomparable Becky.
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 9, 2018
The penicillin was good! The trilogy drink was strong. The truffle pizza was amazing.
Christine ChenMarch 7, 2015
Great drinks, it's a good spot if you pick the right time to go. It can be mellow when it's not packed.
Ben LeeJuly 11, 2014
Great speakeasy from the Little Branch folks. The New Orleans buck and the Kalbi Sliders are fantastic.
Natasha ZuluagaJune 21, 2015
Expertly made delicious cocktails. The bartenders know what they're doing here. Downside: the entire place smelled like Brussel sprouts 😳
Evan EstolaAugust 18, 2018
Don't expect a special experience sitting at the bar. Bartender was almost openly hostile as soon as we sat down. Menu is great, just sit at a table.
James JNovember 7, 2015
Awesome spot. Chill but alive. Solid drinks. On the spot is... Well on the spot.
James CarringtonMarch 7, 2016
Great cocktails. Great vibe. Hidden gem.
Ingrid OliveiraMay 26, 2017
Don't let the shady-looking entrance fool you. Good food and reasonably priced sparkling wine!
Colleen SheaDecember 29, 2016
The speciality cocktails are good but they'll make you anything and it will be amazing!
Liz MallalieuMay 26, 2015
Great new spot off the beaten path in Soho.
Heather ReynoldsOctober 26, 2014
Chin Chin, Ginger Mule, Slow Gin Fizz. Bacon wrapped dates were good too! Love the atmosphere
Franki WDecember 15, 2014
This place is super super cool and the drinks are amazing. Recommend the bartenders choice.
J BDecember 7, 2018
Cute spot with good cocktail menu. The spicy margarita is good. V spicy!
albaJanuary 21, 2017
entrance between two stores, marked with a flag. walk down stairs. part of Little Branch team.
Amy TremmelMarch 23, 2015
Cool hidden place but it gets crowded early. Only one bartender makes it tough to get a drink quickly!
Steven YJuly 20, 2014
Bring a date and get cozy in one of the booths; go with the Bobby Burns and the Chin Chin for cocktails
Simon Favreau-LessardJuly 11, 2014
This is not a ship. I feel betrayed.
Ashley RudolphJune 7, 2015
Order bartenders choice. You won't be disappointed. My go to is the Torch Light 🔥
Ryan BrightOctober 15, 2016
Grab a table and try The Valley. Great whiskey sour variation .
Matthew SeifeAugust 1, 2015
Great drinks (try the mount Vesuvius) in a fun, underground bar.
