Upstairs Cocktail Bar
Cocktail Lounge · NY
About
Expect this to feel more like a secret club than a typical bar. Upstairs Cocktail Bar is a craft cocktail lounge hidden on the second floor of a Jackson Heights restaurant, run by a veteran bartender with two decades in New York's hospitality world.
The space is cozy, quiet, and upscale, attracting a 30s-40s crowd. Full bar, free wifi, and happy hour specials Wed-Fri from 5pm to 7pm. Thursday and Saturday are the busiest nights per Yelp. If you're in the neighborhood, another speakeasy worth checking out is Please Don't Tell , but Upstairs has its own distinct low-key charm.
