$150 Gift Certificate - Employees Only 

Employees Only was named World’s Best Cocktail Bar at the 2011 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. Located behind a glowing neon "Psychic" sign at 510 Hudson Street, this is a real insider's spot, an attractive speakeasy that evokes the charm of the 1920's. Once you're in the know and inside the premises, the appeal of Employees Only becomes evident in a matter of seconds. With tasteful, mood setting art deco furnishings, flawlessly attentive service, delicious menu choices and inspired house cocktails, we guarantee you will be a regular.

Employees Only doesn't simply serve classic cocktails, it elevates them. Their "Fancy Cocktails" includes selections like the Billionaire Cocktail, a drink that is sharp and energetic with Baker's Bourbon, fresh lemon and absinthe bitters. We like the Mata Hari with Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac shaken with Chai-infused Italian vermouth and pomegranate juice. For an aperitif, try the Provencal with lavender infused Plymouth Gin, Cointreau and dry vermouth that create a smooth drink with floral undertones. And their own Manhattan Cocktail begins with a base of Rittenhouse Rye combined with Italian vermouth and angostura bitters, finished with Grand Marnier.

The menu by Chef Julia Jaksic has an incredibly pleasing selection that offers small plates, pre-theatre, dinner, late night offerings and desserts. Every appetizer and small plate at Employees Only offers a twist of creativity, often with an unlikely ingredient that fits its recipe perfectly.

Employees Only is a distinctive and welcoming venue, always ready to please guests with excellent food and drink.
