Back Room

The spot is the Lower East Side’s best kept secret, trust me. Underneath delicious Mexican staple, La Contenta, is Back Room, a truly vintage space. Back Room is one of two speakeasies that operated during the prohibition era, for real. With drinks served strictly in teacups, you will feel a subtle urge to lift your pinky while taking a sip. Better yet, the decor makes you feel like you are in a sexy 1920s club with red lighting and velvet couches.
