Fireplace the delancey.
Back room lower east side.
Through the gate that reads lower east side toy company make your way along an historic path to the back room a true to life 1920s era speakeasy.
There are a bunch of couches along the sides and bar seating available.
The original 1920 s speakeasy known simply as the back of ratner s played host to many theater and movie actors of the roaring twenties as well as famous gangsters of the era.
Winter time midweek backroom fireplace one of the better spots on a cold night in lower east side backup plan.
Just watch out for the dbags.
The back room.
There s a sign labeled lower east side toy company which leads you down some stairs and a dark alleyway.
Seen from two perspectives the environment is still exciting guests have changed from hip new yorkers to groups signing up for a pub crawl at a time when the city is full of ambitious bars and talented mixiologists it feels like backroom have no intention of playing in this division.
Pass through the gate walk down an alleyway and up a set of st.
Inside you will find a dimly lit lounge.
Once you get inside it feels like you ve transported yourself back into the prohibition times.

The bouncer and entrance is located at the very back.
Great soundtrack in the form of music that tends to get louder and louder the later evening.

The back room is one of only two speakeasies in new york city that operated during prohibition and is still in existence today.
For access to this ersatz speakeasy look for a sign that reads the lower east side toy company.
