Thyme Bar

Hidden beneath the bustling streets of New York City, this underground cocktail haven offers a unique escape into a world where mixology meets artistry. In a historic pre-war cellar that whispers tales of its speakeasy past, the ambiance is intimate, moody, and perfect for a memorable night out. The cocktail menu, curated by the ingenious Samy Berdai, is nothing short of magical—expect drinks that are as much about the spectacle as they are about taste. Imagine cocktails served with interactive garnishes, theatrical smoke effects, and in vessels that surprise and delight, like suspended houseplants or mystical genie lamps.

The drink offerings emphasize creativity and sustainability, incorporating rare ingredients and innovative techniques. While the cocktails take center stage, there are thoughtful food pairings, such as salmon crudo and beef sliders, complementing the liquid artistry. For those seeking even more, a reservation-only prix-fixe menu offers a curated journey of food and drink pairings. Though non-alcoholic options are understated, the focus here is on the immersive cocktail experience.
