Raines Law Room Chelsea

Enjoy the wall paper.

Great place, nice location near Midtown, nice atmosphere for a chat with friends (it wasn’t too loud), there is enough space for ~6 people per table, a good choice of cocktails and they are very tasty, the food menu is quite limited though

Went to dinner across the street, and while my suburban friends were waiting for their ubers, I disappeared down the steps of this unmarked venue, in one of the coolest/shadiest exits I've ever pulled. Tasty drinks. Nice staff. Great prohibition vibes - dark and moody. Clientele wasn't all that interesting that day (including yours truly).

Great cocktail menu in this speakeasy style cocktail bar, I tried the "Whiskey Business" and "Eightfold Path", both of which I greatly enjoyed. They have switches at the table to call over the waiters, which is a nice touch. You can book for certain evenings, although we managed to get the last two-person table late on a Sunday night. The entrance is partially hidden down an undercover staircase - press the doorbell for entry. The cheque came to about $80 for two cocktails each, which I felt was quite reasonable for the quality of drinks, service and atmosphere.

Raines Law Room is a super classy, intimate speakeasy serving up some awesome cocktails. It can get pretty packed so it's smart to make a reservation. If my husband and I stop by on a whim and get a table we always feel so lucky. Even if there's a wait, it's worth it for a spot at our favorite speakeasy. Once inside, you feel like you're back in the 20s. The menu of cocktails is quite extensive, but is broken up by categories so you can easily find the type of drink you're looking for. As expected, Raines is pricey with drinks costing around $19. However, everything I've ordered here has been great, and no matter how busy it is, I've also always had great service. Next to each table is a bell you can ring for your server so you are never without a drink for too long! Raines is a great evening spot when you're looking for a bougie cocktail.

Not bad
