Pegu Club



Pegu Club
Address: 77 W. Houston St. 2nd Floor near West Broadway
(SOHO)

The place is named after an actual British officers' club in Rangoon (and its tart and snappy house drink), Pegu has a vaguely Indochinese air, surplus of hand carved wood, and an Asian-inspired snack menu. It also has the biggest ice cubes in New York city. Great place to go with a few close friends, entertain clients or on a date. You can actually hear the person your talking too.

The Back Room: Speakeasy


The Back Room:


Address: 102 Norfolk St nr. Delancey St.


Why do I love this place?? because it’s a speakeasy bar that fronts as closed toy shop. You have to creep down an alley to find the entrance, the front door has a peek and-speak hole. All drinks are served in teacups and bottles in paper bags. There is a piano that fronts as a DJ booth that creates a casual, laid back atmosphere. In the back there is a sliding bookcase that reveals a second bar (which is not open to the public, unless you know the owner or password). Highly recommend for flapper/gangster theme parties.
