Coby Club

Had reservations for this swanky place on a Friday night at 6:30 pm. The entrance was a bit difficult to find but it's basically a small alley entrance next to the Elmo restaurant. I believe it's part of the Elmo restaurant so you can probably also enter through there. Upon arriving we got our ID's checked the. We got to pick any of the comfy lunge seating available to sit at. My friend and I ordered two cocktails and shared sliders and truffle fries. The food was delicious and loved the ambience. It was beautifully decorated and great place for a date or girls night out. Overall, cute and fun place but felt a bit rushed by our waiter which was annoying especially on a weekend.

Would give this 3.5 stars. The atmosphere and vibe of the space was very cool. Paneled walls with intimate booth seating areas separated by hanging beads and low light lighting made for a classic speakeasy feel.Drinks we had- Pagoda Royale w/gin; Queen of the Night, Dragon Tail, bartenders choice, and a village mule mocktail. The drinks were just fine but not overly excitingFood - sliders, truffle fries, and croquettes. The croquettes and truffle fries had great flavor. The fries were a little annoying to eat though because they were mostly all small pieces. The sliders would have been better balanced with a sharper cheese or tomato jam.The disappointing thing was that we had selected Coby Club for the live music but the performer only did two songs. We initially thought that she was just opening but no additional performer came on. Not really sure if that is normal or not.

Tl;dr - Vibes are immaculate but everything else is incredibly underwhelming.Coby Club is meant to be reminiscent of 1950s San Francisco Chinatown. The decor emulates just that, and the music is sultry and alluring. They take reservations via Resy, and every table fills up quickly. We had a group of 3 and got a whole couch area to ourselves, so it felt comfortable and roomy. They have different performers throughout the week, and I went on a night where it was a burlesque show. The performance was great but shorter than I thought. When I go to a bar like this I expect cocktails to be expertly crafted. In theory, all cocktails on the menu sound creative and all infused with Asian-inspired flavors. The execution however, was lacking. The Beijing sling tasted like bitter bath water. The monkey temple incorporated eggwhites which is usually an indicator of a good craft cocktail, but the way it was blended weighed the drink down too much and was difficult to stomach. The bar for my expectations was already on the floor but somehow the food plunged the bar to new depths. For bar food I don't expect anything particularly amazing but.. yikes. The fries were unevenly salted; some pieces were as salty as the sea, some were as bland as paper. Bang bang shrimp straight up tasted microwaved. The firecracker shrimp from your local Trader Joe's is less likely to disappoint you.

The drinks were pretty bad here. None of us like the drink. It is def a cozy and romantic place. They had music for 15 mins which felt very less.

I loved this spot! The vibe is dark, swanky, sexy, and cool. The decor had a throwback vibe. I read that there were pop up performances and definitely didn't expect a burlesque strip tease! She rocked it and it was so fun. Make sure to get the last drink on the menu (if only I could remember what it was!)

This place was so beautiful, definitely worth the wait. Been dying to go back to New York to go here. We just went for drinks and small bites before dinner. Definitely a favorite now.. Our service was fast , food and drinks were great. A great place for date night or fun with friends.

This place was so cute! My friend told me about this place because of TikTok (loll) took my friends from out of town here- so it seemed like I was a coool New Yorker! The drinks were delicious, the live music was tasteful, and the ambience was amazing. Cute spot for a date night or a night to impress your friends. It is a tad dark in there butttt it's part of the vibe. Also, the service was great. Very attentive and nice, didn't feel ignored at all

Tucked away from the streets of New York, Coby Club is located underground with a small entrance on 6th. The speakeasy was intimate, with a menu and venue inspired by Chinese tastes. We made a reservation for a table and there was a large selection of food and drink items to pick from. The service was very quick. Overall, a good time at the Coby Club.

Drink menu is limited, drinks aren't worth raving about, and service took longer than expected. The ambiance and music were great, nonetheless. There is an option for the bartender to build a drink around a spirit of your choice and unfortunately after asking something to be made out of Frangelico, the drink I received back was totally different. In summary, great environment but not so good drinks and service.

Went for NYE as they had a ticketed event that seemed great on paper.. we paid $130 each with taxes and fees, and left quite disappointed. This NYE ticket was a TOTAL SCAM. There was one off-key singer on the mic for maybe a total of 15 minutes over the course of the 2 hours we were there. Zero instruments in sight (a crime for a jazz club). The service was awful as we asked for water 3 times and it took my boyfriend going to the bar himself to get it. The "small bites" were a Walmart quality charcuterie board and beyond soggy. Also served on a disposable plastic tray. Barf. The champagne served at midnight for a midnight toast was undrinkable. Truly criminal given how much we paid for these tickets. The drinks on the menu were fine, but subpar for NYC standards. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
