Saint Tuesday

"You might think that secret entrances, low ceilings, and a “bartender’s choice” cocktail on the menu are red flags for a bar. Saint Tuesday in the Walker Hotel Tribeca has all those things—but the place doesn’t feel cheesy. Instead, it’s a spot where you can relax in a cushy booth and maybe do some smooching while you listen to some jazz or Brazilian choro. There’s live music every night, all the cocktails are $21, and there is no food, so don’t come hungry." - neha talreja, kenny yang, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick

"Some places feel like they’re trying to check off every item on a “cool bar requirements” list. They have things like secret entrances, low ceilings, live jazz, and a “bartender’s choice” cocktail on the menu. Saint Tuesday in the Walker Hotel Tribeca covers all of those bases—but the place doesn’t feel cheesy. It’s somewhere you should bring a date, relax in a cushy booth, and sip on a cocktail made with elderflower liqueur and pisco." - Carlo Mantuano, Matt Tervooren, Kenny Yang, Bryan Kim

"Some places feel like they were made to check off a list of “cool bar requirements.” They have things like secret entrances, low ceilings, live jazz, and a “bartender’s choice” cocktail on the menu. Saint Tuesday in the Walker Hotel Tribeca covers all of those bases—but the place doesn’t feel cheesy. Rather, it’s somewhere you should bring a second or third date, so you can relax in a cushy booth and maybe do some smooching while you listen to a guy named Charlie Roman channel Django Reinhardt on a selmar guitar. The cocktails are all $19, and you should try the tangy, not-too-sweet Frantic Atlantic with elderflower liqueur, pisco, and fresh grapefruit and lime juice." - Carlo Mantuano

"In true speakeasy fashion, Saint Tuesday is hidden in a cellar at the bottom of the Walker Hotel Tribeca with an entrance just off Cortland Alley. The intimate space is dimly lit with a few small wood tables and comes to life when live music fills the cave-like room. For cocktails, which an alum of Little Branch and Fresh Kills oversees, expect classics like Manhattans and martinis or go for a bartender’s choice." - Eater Staff, Paul Schrodt, Lorelei Yang

"Today’s speakeasies — bars with clandestine entrances that hope to evoke those born out of the Prohibition era — are nothing new to the city. But Time Out New York reports that after a pandemic hiatus, speakeasies seem to be opening en masse again. In recent months, bars like One19, Saint Tuesday, UnPublished at Serafina in the Sky, D.O.M., and the Cactus Shop have branded themselves as speakeasies." - Emma Orlow
