Townhouse 275 – A Speakeasy in Bay Ridge
We didn’t ventured into Townhouse 275 until now. Our favorite place closed and we were looking for somewhere to have a drink, talk and hang out.
We wandered into the 94th Street cocktail lounge (It’s off third – behind Oishi Japanese Restaurant). It’s out of the way location may be what makes it a speakeasy. There is a small bar, interesting tables, old-style drapes and decor to give it a speakeasy vibe.
We’ve been to a few hidden speakeasy’s in Manhattan and Chicago (way before Covid) and usually there’s a hidden door and very old style decor that make the place a speakeasy.
TH275 is a small place with a bartender who creates really great drinks.
We returned to TH275 the following week with friends. They were equally as impressed with the drinks. The bartender was a lot busier, so he wasn’t able to chat, but we talked with some other people from the neighborhood – some we new before – most we didn’t.
Some people were a little annoyed that the drinks too awhile to be served (they don’t use the premixed drinks here). We weren’t because good drinks take time!
If you are looking for a relaxed place in Bay Ridge to grab a good drink, try Townhouse 275.
