An Ice-cream speakeasy?! Yes please! The Ice-cream is delicious with few but fun and unique flavors. The speakeasy in the back takes reservations and is worth it. MANY cocktails from which to choose with fun descriptions and obscure flavor profiles. This is a fun place.

This place was amazing! Such a fun entrance, the staff were incredible and the drinks were flawless! Would definitely recommend. We got the 2nd Ave Subway and the Girls Gossip on the East.

I know a lot of people like this place but to me it was overrated. The going into the speakeasy is really cheesy and it’s just a door with ice cream cartons glued on. They ask you to find the switch to go inside and it’s just a light switch and nothing too fancy. The drinks are pretty but over hyped. Perhaps it was the drinks we chose, but the taste was just okay. Points on presentation though. The menu is long and confusing but I liked the idea. The best thing we had were the little ice cream sandwiches

The hidden speakeasy is cool... And they have some of the best music and drinks Ive had in a while. Be prepared for a good night. The room is tight, so the tables are extremely close to each other.

Small cocktail speakeasy with an interesting selection of cocktails. Not all are ice cream influenced as you would expect for a place behind the ice cream shop. It’s a cute find with decent cocktails. A little crowded for my taste, covid restrictions not really enforced or followed. I’m not sure I would come again as there is no more to experience. Good for a party of 2. Make sure you reserve a time online.I did not get ice cream from the counter in the front, so I can’t speak to flavor quality.

Drinks were very strong and very unique. Cool speak easy vibes and a great date spot. Biggest downside is they have a limit for how long you can sit at your table for. We were given the check at the same time we received our second cocktails.

We took our friend here for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! The speakeasy concept was super cool. They brought out some type of peanut drink shots on the house and even brought out a different one for me due to my peanut allergy. The drinks were a bit overpriced and I guess its expected considering where we are but they didnt taste all that great. They had many really interesting drink options though so its worth checking out even just for the vibes.

Delicious and delightful. Love the variety of flavors. Thank you

Super cool vibes and drinks!

Such a great experience! The drinks were so bomb and so well made. They are not your basic drinks they are hand crafted drinks. Covid friendly and great experience all around. Would recommend reservations!

Very cool vibe and atmosphere. Loved the music as well. Didn’t think the drinks were anything too great though. So much effort goes into making them seem cool/trendy, but they aren’t anything too special. Would still be open to going again for the atmosphere though.

Hidden gem, so don’t go there! Drinks are exactly described as on the menu according to strength, taste and complexity. They are all delicious and the prices are justified due to the presentation. The icecream is savory. The music is a blast from the past and was my favorite element of the whole evening. This place is very instagrammable, staff is knowledgeable, and the food is good- mostly snacks and finger foods, but it helps keep the total of your bill at a fair price. Had 6 cocktails with a friend and two small sides and paid $150. Make sure to book a reservation and remember that your allotted time is 1.5 hours due to covid restrictions.

Huge delicious selection of flavors. I got a banana one and a coffee one. My mom loved too!

Cocktails - amazing.Vibe - amazing.Music - amazing.Service - terrible.The servers in the bar were great, but the men at the entrance were incredibly rude.

Terrible service, cramped seating arrangements. On top of that, they said there is a $50 minimum spend for 2 people ($25 each) which was not stated anywhere before we asked for our check. We were told we have to order 1 more of their mediocre drink. I wouldnt recommend this place. They act like they are the only bar around.

Beautiful back room, with strong drinks. The ice cream is very good as well.

I learned of this place when a friend insisted we go for ice cream after our meal.Upon entering this place you get what you expect, an ice cream shop. However shortly after I found myself being escorted with my friend to a room behind the ice cream shop (secret door is where all ice cream containers are).I was very shocked to discover there was a bar behind the little ice cream shop. This speakeasy is very cute, they offer such creative cocktails.Now their ice cream is also tasty, they offer unique flavors which consist of unique ingredients. Love the outside seating, love that it matches the vibe of the cute ice cream shop, but the behind those doors there’s a complete ambiance.

Soooooo cool !!! This place is amazing !!! Your gonna have a wonderful experience, drinks are really really good !! I will definitely go back soon

***Their website does not disclose cocktail attire, which is required, however, they still let us in and told us to know this for next time.I tried to use the bathroom and due to the very low lighting, I could not find the light switch. I was only told where it was and I even told them I couldn’t find it because my eyes had not adjusted yet. I found that slightly rude that I was still not helped even after stating so, and was only repeated, “to the side, on the wall.” It was uncomfortable to be honest 😞Drinks were unique and strong. Our waitress was superb and pleasant.Had my initial impression not been like a deer in headlights, this place would be he bees knees.I think I’d come again and give it a second try, in hopes for a five star feeling.The entrance was unique and cute, through the ice cream shop. The entrance attendant was fun and nice.

Its fun thing to do, different but, the manager (tall, light brow and bald) I don’t know, always he came in our table and said something, the last one was the story that we were posting and had some song and nobody was hearing and the song and he bothered us. And after that (like 5 minutes) the waiter told us that our time expire. We from Florida and we were just visiting the place. But the drinks were awesome. The day was 06/19/2021 around 5pm.

Drinks were alright but terrible service. Our waiter was so rude and unhelpful. The space is smaller and more cramped than it looks in pictures. We were separated from another table by a dirty hanging cloth. There’s so many better speakeasies downtown. This place should just stay an ice cream shop. Ice cream is the best part of the experience.

Awesome speakeasy inside an ice cream shop. The ice cream is great, and some people come here just for that. Fantastic cocktails.Would have been five stars, but the music was SO LOUD that we had to shout to be heard at our own table. We asked them to lower it, and they were very apologetic and said that they werent allowed to (!¡!). Great drinks, great staff, beautiful place - too bad about the sound environment.Maybe go there if youre on your own? Go somewhere else with friends.

One of the best I have ever been to. Overall amazing experience!

Our waiter was super nice and the drinks were not as expensive as you think they would be especially given the quality and showmanship of the place.

Had an amazing time here.Tried to taste as many drinks as possible with my friend.Service was excellent. Our waitress (Emma) went above and beyond with her service which made the experience that much better.Ice cream was really good too!

Great ice cream, very cute and intimate inside, drinks were good, but HORRIBLE seating, very small and uncomfortable. We wanted to stay longer to have more drinks but the seating was too uncomfortable. It was half a table, very small and short seating. I did make a reservation but that did not matter. I would suggested requesting a big table when making a reservation. I also hope they fix the two seater tables, because it made our experience there horrible.

Great experience! Cool drinks, great vibe

This speakeasy makes me feel like Im in candy land haha I love how every drink gives you a different vibe, they werent the best drinks but the presentation was super cool.

Not recommended! If you’re a party of two, you literally get seated about 12 inches from the next party on very uncomfortable stools. Cocktails sound fancy, but they’re very, very average. I wish that they were a victim of the pandemic rather than other bars. VERY disappointing,

Cute, fun, picture worthy. If you like the speakeasy-culture (and are a fan of bathtub gin) you will like this UES, ice-cream focuses stooped. Some Alice in Wonderland vibes and great staff.

One of my favorite speakeasies!! The ice cream shop itself is so cute and has very good ice cream. Once u step into the back bar, it’s a decently large space, with warm decor and the smell of incense. All their drinks are super unique and delicious. They do have a dress code—no hats, and no sneakers. However, there are shoes to borrow if you’ve come unprepared!

Really loved this place. If youre just here for the ice-cream, its really good. Their shakes are amazing!Speaking of their storage room, you wont be disappointed. However, make sure youre dressed appropriately and not wearing sneakers/sandals. The ambience is really good and feels cozy. The cocktails are good. I wished they had food as well but you can order the ice-cream or cookies. Its a great place for cocktails especially if you live in UES!

I don’t now, but this place is awesome the ice cream and the surprise behind the door is incredible waooooo.

Space was small, but the cocktails were great.

They made us wait outside even though the bar wasn’t full, I guess to make the place look packed.The cocktails are cheesy and clearly geared toward tourists. They didnt tell us before sitting down that there’s a $50 table minimum… but when we asked for the bill that’s when we were told. The manager said it was on our reservation but we were walk ins. This fake speakeasy has to force people to spend $50 because no one wants to be there for more than one drink.

Pretty good ice cream, Im not 21 so idk what the speakeasy looks like.

This place surprised me because i went for ice cream and found out they have a secret bar behind the pints of ice cream door, amazing experience. The service was great, the bartender was very nice, the drinks were on point with the theme of the place. Went for a desert and ended up getting tipsy.

Very retro, very very good drinks, and music was good. Totally worth the trip for me.

I really want to like this place, but it just isnt good. The service is so painfully slow getting above the $50 minimum is difficult because you cant get a drink. The music is so loud you cant hear the person at your table. The tables are so tiny stuff barely fits, and I watched two of them nearly get knocked over. Its a great idea but the execution is just so utterly lacking.

The cocktails are very well crafted and I love the decor and ambiance! Its a bit pricey but 100% worth it. The place also recommends other local UES spots which I think is cute, and alludes to the fact that no one feels like coming to the UES for a night out. And not to mention that the ice cream in the front is also amazing! Went there a few times for the ice cream before realizing there was something more going on.

Really cool speakeasy with a hidden entrance behind an icecream stand. The name is based off Biggies going back to cali, one of the best songs of all time, huge win for that. Funny menus, nice atmosphere and staff.Drinks are overpriced but generally elaborately presented, and its a speakeasy so thats par for the course.

Pretty cool speakeasy. Surprisingly not pretentious. Wear professional shoes (no tennis shoes) and a collared shirt to get in.

A very unique experience, the staff was really nice and there was alot of options. Not the cheapest place but definitely something everyone should checkout at least once.

The service was pretty terrible. The hostess and getting to our table was ok. However, once we sat down we couldn’t get anyone to serve us. It was unclear if a wait staff was assigned a table or not. The manager was having to serve us most of the time. And to top it off, they took over 30 minutes to get us a check. Cool ambiance, but would avoid if you want to be served after you get in the door.

What an amazing experience. Will definitely be going back again!

Great ice cream, fun atmosphere in the back. Troy the door attendent was hands down so nice. Being from Texas manners mean alot. Not sure the bad reviews on him being mean but we both thought he was super nice. Will Def be back when we come next month

I was so excited to visit this place and celebrate my birthday. Wow was I let down. My friend and I both are tall and were given the seating of a child. I was on stool built for a 10 year old I was uncomfortable the whole time. When I made the server aware she just offered me another short stool despite the availability of booths. The finger food offered was a joke. Tater tots and pretzels bites with cold congealed cheese. Stayed to finish our drinks and left to get some food and comfort

A fun little speakeasy with an emphasis on little. Make sure to make a reservation.

I dont know the name of my drinks but I asked for a French 75 that they had their own take which is the one seen here in the cup with the flower peddles and something spicy. The presentation of the drinks here are fabulous. There was a long wait for drinks because they are pretty complicated but to me it was worth it and understandable. Cant wait to try some others on the menu next time.

Would have loved to get a chance to write a full review, but unfortunately they refused my valid ID from out of state. Felt very embarrassed as an almost 28 year old who has been using this ID for the past seven years without issue.

In the storage room you will find the Best. Icescreams. Ever. Bring your ID and wear some good shoes (they have a strict dress code). It gets busy on the weekends but you can make a reservation for large groups.

Super fun! A great date night location!

Yeah its pricey, but its a cool place in NYC. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be back!

A hidden gem on the Upper East Side.Great selection of ice cream, i mean drinks :pAlthough can be a bit pricey, they are very unique and different.Everyone should go here at least once, it’s really unique and creative place.

They turned away my friend for wearing a hat. She offered to take it off but then he pointed to the shirt as the issue. The reservation and deposit was made. They refused to return it and the manager came out to yell at us and dismiss us. This place is a SCAM!

Amazing creative drinks. One of the best speakeasies Ive ever been to. Look for Alice

Horrible service and overall experience. They enforce their dress policy and ID rules at random - especially when it comes to larger parties. Will not be coming back here.

Went in with three other friends. We were told that we had to make reservations, we did not know because it is our first time. He was nice and told us to come back when they open the storage at 5pm and since there was no line, they have space so they can accommodate us. Awesome!We went back the 2nd around 6pm. No line and no waiting. Went to ask the same person who spoke to us the first time if everything was okay with us entering the place. Instead someone else approached us and said yeah all is good but we need to dress differently, the attire is more dressy and no sports wear nor hats and such. If we could go home real quick and change and go back she would be able to get us in.None of this was explained the first time we had visited, refused us the 2nd time and expected us to go home and change when we live far awag from this place. Very bad staff, my first and final visit. Understandable for the dress code and a but should of been clear from the first visit we made all the requirements of this. Plus there was no line and no one in the ice cream shop. They turned business away because of a dress code, they had no business and on top of that we were willing to return the 2nd time but then they wanted us to return a 3rd time. To top it all off, the two workers were not dressed as thet wanted us to dress up as. Not worth it for ice cream.

Pretty nice concept of speakeasy and their ice cream is actually really good. The people here are extremely nice and super friendly. Only thing, the place doesn’t live up to the hype for dressing up like they mention on their website.

And here I was thinking this would just be small, cozy ice cream shop and nothing else... UES is a speakeasy with themes of celebrities, UES culture, and of course ice cream themed cocktails (several of which have ice cream or sorbet on them!)... the inside has seating at the bar, doubles, and for groups with a minimal dress code of dress shoes, pants/jeans, and a decent shirt (i.e. don’t bum out or else they won’t let you in)... the end of their menu has reviews of lots of UES restaurants as their goal is to change the perception of how people view the UES! Definitely worth a visit!!

Started off with a waitress, ended up with a waiter.... the waitress was totally more concerned with getting us drunk rather than making sure we have napkins lol. Legit got one napkin from our waitress who only checked up to see if wanted “another round” of drinks that we were just served, when I asked for napkins she looked dumbfounded and never even brought them. Luckily there was a kind waiter who kept checking up on us and actually brought the napkins, tip went to him. If possible avoid the waitress with short curly hair she only seemed to care about the larger parties, but surely enough she came to remind us our reservation was coming to an end... highly unprofessional. Aside from the service the decor was cute and the drinks were tasty but way too much ice and don’t even bother visiting if you’re a party of less than 4, they give you a stool and a table the size of a laptop.

Solid speakeasy. A bit cheesy but fun. I would go back to try more of their drinks. Expensive but worth it.

The guy at the front door is extremely RUDE and FAKE. Would never visit again!

DO NOT GO HERE!!! If you made a reservation I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CANCELLING IT. I wish I could give this place no stars. My friends and I went here for one of their birthdays not too long ago and not only was it full to capacity (during this pandemic) but the service (with the exception of one waiter who was really nice) was AWFUL.The first thing I noticed was the fact that though they have a dress code (no jeans, t-shirts or sneakers they said), there were definitely people in there, of the fairer complexion with Jeans and sneakers on....Im not saying that theyd kick out anyone of a darker complexion for not following their dress code, but I wouldnt be surprised if they did 🙄. There was a female server that kept coming by LITERALLY every 2 minutes to ask if youre ready to order. Drinks are overpriced, the drink they suggested to me was horrible and had a lemon seed in it... The food they had to offer was like finger food for children. (dinosaur shaped nuggets, really?)They told us maybe an hr after our reservation that we had 10 mins left till we have to leave, meanwhile the birthday girl didnt get their main order.... Then on top of all of that, we accidently ended up tipping them twice by accident because they didnt bring it to our attention that their gratuity fee was actually the tip that they already worked out for us, and we ended up basically tipping double, when they barely deserved 1 tip....We learned our lesson, and we will never be going back here. There are many other great places where you can get unique ice cream flavors and concoctions without the cramped space, rushed service and overpriced drinks. Avoid this place, Im begging you.

The ice cream was great - the drinks were very meh

Cute place nice decor, waitress was horrible ( curly middle lenght hair) she is only concern about big parties, we asked for napkins never got them, we even had to ask for the check to another waiter smh. When making reservations make sure you ask for a normal size table, ours was the size of a Cutting Board it was umcomfortable. Drinks were good.

Ice cream was delicious but SERVICE on the ice cream shop was terrible, the guy was busy on Saturday and shout to us, was very rude and aggressive ... and in the bar we couldnt pay separately, we werent a big group , just 2 people, the nicer waiter was the latin one, he was really kind and supportive

Very amazing and tasty icecream i have ever at

Cozy, perfect speakeasy. Amazing cocktails! Sit with your date or your girlfriends and just have fun!

This is a “hidden” gem of the Upper East Side. A small Ice cream shop that serves some of the best frozen delicacies in the area. With a very modern and lit-up decor, the place will definitely stick in your mind. Try the dirty chocolate, a dark cocoa blend, and the expresso mix. Probably the best you ever had. And for a little surprise, if you ate not in short pants and tank tops, ask if you could visit the storage room. With a little charm and if you could find the secret key you will be drawn to the prohibition era and will never forget hour evening. Be bold. Be safe. Be wise.

The wait time after making a 9:45 reservation was quite excessive we had to wait an additional 35 minutes which defeated the purpose of having a reservation to begin with. The drinks weren’t great at all, poor mixology and combinations. The food wasn’t fulfilling, the place is quite overhyped and apparently trendy for the presentation of the drinks but other than that not worth it. The cheese served with the pretzel tasted gross and processed. My friend who we were celebrating sent back her drunk and was recommended another favorite which was even worse because it tasted like medicine. The seating was horrid, they had parties of 3 or 4 people sharing one booth split by a cloth divider which didn’t seem safe given COVID restrictions. For the time, the cramped-ness and untimely fashion of the place it definitely isn’t worth it. Wouldn’t recommend or return again for that matter.

Pure joy. Superior ice cream. Charming hideaway with a speakeasy/bar in back thats closed due to COVID. Long wait in the heat, socially distanced, every bite worth at least 20 minutes of wait time.

Expensive, limited menu, couldnt even cook pigs in a blanket right. Rude service, not organized professionally.

Great cocktails, fantastic staff made great recommendations

This place is THE BEST

Drinks were okay with definitely a ton of emphasis on the “wow” factor for Instagram, but, out of the 3 I had, only 1 was actually quite good (el lado este superior). Don’t get the Carnegie Steele unless you love chewing on multiple pieces of ginger after your sip. Overall, there was more emphasis on presentation than substance.In addition to that, the service was not the best. They were always checking in, but not in a “can I get you another drink” way but more “are you done with that” way, even went so far as to just grab my drink without asking despite not being finished. Just felt like they were rushing you to drink up and get out versus enjoying the nice ambiance so to keep the churn of people going. Good place to check out once, maybe twice, to say that you did, but I feel there are better bars or speakeasies to go to if you enjoy a great cocktail without the fuss.

Fathers day. Speak Easy

Greatest “ice cream” you will find on a Monday night!!

Ice cream shop with a twist! They serve ice cream from SoCo in Massachusetts and it’s delicious and unique, though not the best ice cream you can find in New York. Tiny front area with only a few stools for seating. Stick around for a few minutes and you’ll notice it’s more than just an ice cream spot :)

ToGo cocktails amid COVID-19! Now we uuuup in the big league, gettin our turn at bat!

The ice cream was good. We were hoping to take advantage of the eat and drink on Friday, but apparently that wasnt an option. Perhaps call before to confirm if you want to take advantage of the speakeasy part of this place. Overall a cute place to at least get some ice cream.

Its a great experience. You need to try!!!

Great signature drinks. True mixology. I ordered the Absolute Bradshaw.

This is the most fun and adventurous place to have drinks in terms of trying different things. I havent yet tried all thats on the bar menu so this gives incentive for returning.

Cool spot for a drink but the service is HORRIFIC. I had to chase the waitress down multiple times to get a drink and for the check.For the prices they charge ($16++ per drink) I shouldn’t have to flag people down. Drinks take forever as it is since they’re craft cocktails (which is fine), so service should be on point. I’d only go for a drink and make sure to ask for the check with the drinks!

Great decor and fun atmosphere. I ordered a drink off-menu and it was delicious. Recommended.

Omg. Must go here. Drinks were incredible. Friendly people. Most unique drink menu Ive seen in a long time.

Great ice cream with a twist 😉

Went here a little before 9 on a Friday night. A line was already forming and they were definitely doing a thorough check that you met the dress code (saw others get turned away). Our group of 4 was given a table that was shared with another group of 3. Atmosphere wise, it was very loud and hard to hear the others in our group — especially since we were awkwardly wrapped around half a booth. There was only one guy waiting on the entire room, so we ended up waiting a lot. We also had some confusion at the end with the check, since the server thought we were one large group. After another wait, we got a check per group and were out. I personally regret my drink choice — was hoping the stout flavor would be secondary in my drink but it was definitely the main feature. Might go back to try another drink (if I’m feeling like paying $17), but would definitely choose a night earlier in the week to avoid the crowds.

Overpriced! The drinks are ok, but not worth the price.

Good ice cream. But they were out of the flavor I wanted! Also, the individual ice creams aren’t labeled in the case, which makes browsing for flavors unnecessarily difficult.

Ordered delivery cocktails, a make your own sundae kit and a balloon for a friends 30th birthday in quarantine. They went above and beyond and decked out the order with 30th birthday decorations - super impressed with the small touches and great service!

If you’re going here for the ice cream— Don’t. It’s pretty good but extremely overpriced. Walk 4 blocks to van leeuwens for better ice cream for your dollar

Didnt go to the secret bar but loved the madagascar vanilla ice cream! Cool ambiance.

A cool nicely decored speakeasy inside an icecream shop. The Hunter College drink (chocolate milkshake with rum & stout) was delicious, the Tea of Carlyle mocktail was only okay & a bit sweet. The staff was attentive, chill & quick.The big turn off for me was the movie night situation on Sunday (showing Jaws) instead of just playing nice music. It just doesn’t work with the concept, kills the ambience & makes the whole experience kinda “ergh”. The random 2018 pop playlist after the movie feels like a “time’s up, go home guys” suggestion. The menu is a unreasonably long & some recommended sign on some of the bar’s bestsellers would really help. One-time visit is okay, but won’t likely to come back.Really wish you guys could improve, there’s so much potential here.

Grr

Tight and small but everything else is tops

This place is so amazing. Come in and see why that is for yourself :)

Got covid so had to cancel. They still charged me 100$. Guess I should’ve gone

I honestly wanted to give this place zero stars. I will give 2 as it is a great idea just poorly executed.Was having dinner in the area with friends and we decided to stop by to see what is all the hype about it. At first we got a bit side tracked by the ice cream counter and decided to get a scoop before going in. It was probably the best idea, we have some solid people watching.The ice cream attendant/ “bouncer” (??) has a huge attitude as he was at some high end lounge in Meat Packing. Dude, sorry to disappoint but you are not…you need to scale down your attitude by a lot. We get it the “storage” has a dress code but there are ways and ways of enforcing and in the end of the day is not some A listers spot.Anyway, back to my ICE CREAM review – I tried the Blueberry Honey Lavender and Salted Caramel. It was good, just good maybe average for the $5 price tag it comes with.After our ice cream we went down to the “storage room” hidden behind a door covered by 180 empty ice cream cartons is “Storage,” a secret bar inspired by ones found during the Prohibition era. The atmosphere of the shop quickly changes as you leave the cheerful scoop shop and enter the dimly lit Storage Room (AKA hidden bar)Now the update everyone is waiting for!!!Ladies and Gentleman’s, who have been turned down from this place, save your tears as you didn’t miss much. It is just a dark, lacking in ventilation, overly hyped bar. Go to Auction house and you will have just as much fun, if not more and skip all the door BS
