J.Bespoke: Elevate Your Cocktail Experience in NYC's Hidden Speakeasy

We had an amazing cocktail class here with Eric! He was fun, knowledgable and responsive throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a team event this was a great option. The drinks were delicious and all the staff was very helpful and engaged! The speakeasy portion is great to enjoy a drink after too!

J Bespoke hosted a cocktail making party for my friends and me in my apartment. It was absolutely fantastic. Eric, the owner, is super knowledgeable, friendly, humble and unassuming, but great at what he does. Cocktails were SO GOOD. Eric believes in natural, fresh ingredients, and you can tell — everything was very high quality. We loved it!!

Discovered this spot through a friend. It's a cool experience to walk through the custom tailored suit shop that acts as the front entrance and enter into the speakeasy. Has a cool vibe with dark interior design and a good amount of seating. Great service and good drinks. Will definitely be back

I took the craft cocktail class and it completely exceeded my expectations. We learned how to make two drinks from scratch – the Eastside and the French Martini – and both turned out incredible. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience feel approachable, even for beginners. It wasn’t just about following a recipe; we really got into the why behind each ingredient, from muddling fresh mint and cucumber for the Eastside to mastering the perfect shake for that silky French Martini. The atmosphere was relaxed and interactive, and it felt like a perfect mix of learning and having a great time. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fun night out – whether you’re a cocktail newbie or already know your way around a bar.

Eric led a truly outstanding cocktail class for my partner and me! The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment we joined. It struck the perfect balance between instruction and interaction, making the experience both informative and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Incredibly cool cocktail bar!! The bar is hidden behind a suit store so it gives a definite speakeasy vibe. My boyfriend and I did a cocktail class with Eric and it was such a great experience! Not only were the cocktails incredible, but we also got to take home the supplies and recipes! The class was so much fun and we will definitely come back to the bar again with friends

Great vibe, excellent food, and top-notch drinks. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and delivered fantastic service. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the awkward table design on one side of the room. The cylindrical bases don’t allow you to comfortably slide your legs underneath, which makes for some clumsy seating, entertaining to watch, but not ideal for settling in. That said, it’s still a great spot for a cocktail and bite. Definitely worth a visit!

Took a cocktail making class with Eric and it was a BLAST! This was my first visit to NY and I came out for a work trip with a few friends. I've never taken a cocktail making class before, so this was my chance to actually learn how NOT to just toss things in a glass and hope for the best. We made two really good cocktails, and the classes did an excellent job of balancing knowledge with hands-on activities. Between drinks, we spent some time in the speakeasy. The atmosphere was great, things weren't too loud. In fact, there were a few couples who were doing date night alongside our group, and I think the atmosphere likely amplified that! Overall I would absolutely do this again. Can't wait for the next one!
