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.
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.
There s a sign labeled lower east side toy company which leads you down some stairs and a dark alleyway.
Once you get inside it feels like you ve transported yourself back into the prohibition times.
For access to this ersatz speakeasy look for a sign that reads the lower east side toy company.
The bouncer and entrance is located at the very back.
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.
