Fernando’s Hideaway

I loved Fernando's. I came by on a Saturday evening with a reservation. Getting into Fernando's requires utilizing the staircase to your right upon entering the Bartley Dunnes restaurant. Upon entering, you're transported into a "boogie wonderland". I love the constant disco playlist spinning and the retro aesthetic.The back room with the spinning disco ball and glass mirror walls is awesome.I had an amazing drink called the OnlyFans. You must try it. It's creamy and sweet. I also had another drink called the Fernando's Spritz or something like that - but the OnlyFans is the highlight.The food menu has many options - I tried truffle mac balls and disco tots. All very good.They have the girl dinner option - $30 for unlimited drinks for 90 minutes - but only from a specific selection of drinks. I didn't opt to this and just ordered everything a la carte.Service was right on the money and very attentive. They have one bathroom stall that is hidden behind another door. It's a very very tiny bathroom so when you open the door - open gently or you may smack someone with the door.The vibes were awesome in here, drinks were on point and food filled me up. So looking forward to my next visit!

Fun speakeasy above a restaurant. The cocktails are unique and insta worthy. The staff is very friendly. They bar is hopping but my friend and I had no problem getting a table as walkins.

So happy to have found this gem!!! Love love love this place. The Irish bartender (so sorry didn't get your name, has been in NY for 10 years) was an absolute pro. He was mixing up the cocktails with ease. Super incredible and talented at his craft. We had old fashioneds, the only fans, an incredible espresso martini and I believe it was love is the drug which was in the cutest glass ever. I had the most boring drink of all, Tito's soda. Tremendous service and loving the vibe and awesome playlist! See y'all again soon!

Ordered:Lychee Martini Spritz (~$18): Gunpowder gin, lychee, hibiscus amaro, dragonfruit, lemon, sodaAya's take:Love a good speakeasy! Fernando's Hideaway is located above Bartley Dunne's pub. Once upstairs, you feel like you've teleported to the disco era with their retro interior, mirrored wall, and disco ball in the center of the room. It wasn't super busy on a Friday night and we were able to just walk in around 10:30pm; perfect spot to be lowkey and grab a drink. The Lychee Martini Spritz was honestly delicious! The right amount of sweetness, a good mix of flavors from the lychee and dragonfruit, and the gin paired well with it. Highly recommend stopping by!

I recently visited Fernando's Hideaway to celebrate a joint birthday with my co-workers, and it was an incredible experience. The place has a very intimate and 80s-themed vibe, which we loved. We chose this spot specifically for their great girls' dinner deal, where you can enjoy unlimited, drinks, and two tapas, or opt for one big entrée. We took full advantage of this offer on a Friday night and had an amazing time catching up. The service was very attentive, and the food was delicious. Everyone loved their options, and we had a wonderful time overall. I highly recommend Fernando's Hideaway for a fun night out with friends or even for a date. It's a perfect spot for any occasion. Definitely check it out!

Would return to NYC for these cocktails over and over again -- "only fans" has to be my favorite martini in the city. You won't regret the visit here!

This is more like a 3.5 star review, but the kind hostess makes up for it. I originally thought I booked a reservation for this speakeasy, but it was for the main bar Bartley Dunnes instead. The hostess was able to accommodate us, but ultimately we had to be moved to the bar for girl dinner. Girl Dinner is the $30 bottomless option they have with the purchase of 2 tapas or one main, which is a fair price. I def did not like having to sit at the bar for dinner, but at least we were able to do the bottomless option. The place itself is nice and instagrammable. I see why its so hyped on social media, definitely cute for birthdays, bachelorettes, girl dinner etc. The food we had was...ok. We each had to order 2 tapas, so we tried the truffle mac balls (amazing), the flatbread (meh) and burata (meh). Also each tapa is $18, which I think is a wee bit overpriced for the portions. We also each had the Fernando Spritz, which is just an aperol spritz. I wish we decided to try other options, I feel like the aperol spritz was "watered down" a bit. Cute spot but I feel there are other better options in this big city for a girl dinner.

Ok look, this place is super cute and convenient for a first date night or hook up spot. Fairly discreet, dimly lit, and not too loud with the music. The food is not great. I had a very basic French fries and steak skewer and both were tough. Now our waitress Amanda was so kind and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, but the food was just not great. So because of her, I'll give this place 4 stars (also because it was in fact a great place to be a bit on a date). But eat beforehand and just go for the cocktails (A+ for having mocktails).

Charlotte was an absolute gem, her service was incredible all night and we could not have asked for anything better!! We will absolutely be back for Girl Dinner and I recommend you go too!!! Such a good deal and such great service, highly recommend

Omg!! had the best time with my girls for girl dinner at Fernando's hideaway!!! Charlotte was the best and we love her!! Can't wait to come back.
