Le Boudoir

On our lists of the best speakeasies and cocktail bars in New York.

Behind a bookshelf inside Chez Moi, the French bistro on Atlantic Avenue, a hidden bar decorated in rococo style channels Marie Antoinette's private chambers, complete with red velvet throughout. The cocktail program was built by Nico de Soto, and burlesque performers take the floor twice a night on Fridays and Saturdays, at 9:30 and 11:30. A back room with stone, castle-like walls and low arched ceilings can be booked for larger groups.
