NYC Speakeasies

A friend of mine who lives in New York told me about some bars he likes to visit that are "speakeasies". That is, they are unmarked from the outside so you would not know they are there if you walked by casually. Kind of a 1920s throwback. I thought this sounds rather fun…which have you visited and what's your opinion of them?
If only you knew how bad things really are.

Fantastic drinks by some very skilled bartenders.
Absolutely horrible for picking up chicks. Everyone are here in pairs and for the place. People don't go here to meet other people.

Agree with Vicious on the chicks.
When I want to just hang with the guys the underground strip clubs are awesome. No pressure, friendly girls, good atmosphere. I think it is the future of guys night.

Yeah, Milk & Honey actually has a policy that prevents hitting on women. Nonetheless, these can be great in impressing a date.

I was about to say "what about Chumley's" as it was an original speakeasy from back in the days of prohibition...then I read it closed down, bummer.
I left NYC in 2007 so shows how dated my NYC knowledge is getting...but soon to be rebuilt?

another story about Chumley's potentially re-opening in 2013...we'll see, the old one was a fun place but not really much of a pick up joint at least for me...

Holy fuck! I just looked that up. One of their bar rules is actually, "Gentleman may not introduce themselves to ladies." Women can talk to men or ask the bartender for an introduction, but men cannot initiate anything. That is some of the gayest shit I've ever heard.
I would never even go to a speakeasy looking to mack, but the fact that it's a rule is so juvenile. Based on that rule alone, I'd never patronize that place.
Actually, it says "Gentlemen
will not introduce themselves to ladies." Seems like you can hit on the chicks all you want, but can't tell them your name. Of course, if you're not a gentleman, the rule doesn't even apply to you, does it?
