Fantastic bar with one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had! Valentino is an absolute gem. A wonderful speakeasy that I’d love to return to

Do not go here. You have to apparently be American with a passport or drivers license (physical copy) to enter. Absolutely ridiculous. I came in with an EU residency permit as proof of age and identification and was denied. They requested physical copies of passport and state ID despite being an American citizen (which btw doesn’t event matter). I showed my passport and drivers license electronically but was still denied. Absolutely ridiculous bouncer and service. I’d stay away to avoid any discrimination against non-US citizens.

First of all, this place is a VIBE! Second of all, the bartender Domingo makes the best drinks. His customer service is top tier. Can’t wait to go back

Blind Barber has a really cool setup, definitely one of the better speakeasy vibes around. The smokey carajillo was tasty, but light on the alcohol. Music was great and louder than most speakeasies, and by the end of the night the place basically turned into a nightclub. Fun energy overall.

The actual venue I walked right past it lol. That truly makes for a great speakeasy right? It really is pretty inconspicuous if you're not paying attention. The blind barber is actually a barber shop for real, but cross functions as a speakeasy. The images speak for themselves. It is such a cool atmosphere and great time once you get past the barber shop ;)

One of the most iconic speakeasy-style bars in the city. They were doing it before it became a hipster craze. You enter through an unassuming door at the back of the barbershop. Inside is quite roomy compared to other hidden bars in the city. It’s a bit less pretentious than most too, which I personally prefer. Overall a cool place to visit for a cocktail if you’re in the area.

Cool speak easy place in NY! Although the city never sleeps we were here on Wednesday evening after catching a Broadway show but it was pretty empty so that ruined the experience. But seems like a very cool place when crowded! The entrance is through the barbershop 💈

Blind Barber is a "speak easy" type bar behind a barber shop. Inside, there's about a dozen tables or so. The bar is stocked well, with happy hour between 6-9. The music playing is great, the pours are kind of heavy, and prices aren't too bad. As the night goes on, there's a younger crowd that rolls in to dance. Overall a great experience and would recommend coming in for a drink if you're in the neighborhood.

Not a bad haircut but seem more focused on the speakeasy bar than the barbershop. They don’t take walk-ins and their scheduling website is not user friendly. Even after scheduling online there was still issues. Tipping is only Venmo or cash. They don’t do shaves.

Oh this is a pretty fun spot. Makes me feel like we're going to a secret speakeasy. They play some nice jams. They had a live DJ playing sounds from the early 2000s and some current sounds when I was there. The crowd was a pretty cool mixture of 20 somethings and early '30s. That's how I remembered it anyway. Drinks weren't too bad. Reasonably priced around $10 to $15. Honestly it gets a little blurry but I had a good time. 🎉🥳🥳🥳
