I feel like the past few years has become the renewed era of the speakeasy.George Bang Bang offers an Asian craft cocktail experience that is perfect for date night.Compared to its competitors, the entrance for the bar is actually pretty discreet. Behind the bustle of a noodle shop &kitchen , you enter a dimly lit bar that takes you back to another era. They truly kept the aesthetic of prohibition with a lot of detail- from the cocktail glasses, to the furniture and the wallpaper. Hard to describe, you just have to see it to really enjoy it!As others have said, a reservation is ideal. However, late on a holiday weekend night the 2 of us were lucky to snag a seat at the bar right away. I actually recommend sitting at the bar because it's quite fascinating to see the bartenders at work! They have an extensive list of their own craft cocktails, but are also happy to make the classics. I loved how they served my dirty martini with the brine on the side, so I could adjust the level of filth lol. Overall a really unique date Will be back!

Pretty cool spot and good drinks. The Juliet of the spirits is great if you like mezcal.The space is kinda small and they crammed 6 of us in the back corner in a tight area with tiny tables which could have been better. They also don't have any coat hangers which was a bit annoying.Overall good vibes tho

My friend grabbed a Friday evening reservation a few days beforehand as something to check out before dinner. We're glad he did since there was quite the line after we left. Aesthetics-wise this place has a cool vibe as you emerge into a darkly lit room after entering through a Korean restaurant. Service was friendly and they were able to answer any questions we had. Drinks on the other hand fell a bit flat for us. None of us 3 enjoyed our cocktails, so we ended up leaving after one round to go check out another place. Snacks here were delicious though!

Cool speakeasy. Drinks are about $25. Great atmosphere, cool and cozy. Didn't have a reservation but was able to get a seat after 15 minutes.

One of my favorite speakeasy cocktail bars in the city! It's hidden behind Okdongsik, which is extra cool when the restaurant is already closed so it feels very secretive and hidden. We attempted to come here twice, but so glad we finally made it after waiting 30 minutes in line. Unfortunately, the waiting area is an incredibly tight space that should only fit about 4 people, but we had twice that number. If you can make reservations, definitely do so or come during a week night when it's less busy.We were seated at the bar, which had a nice view of all the liquor. The menu also has a nice, old notebook feel on linen paper. We ended up trying multiple cocktails: Don "Michael" Corleone ($22), Little Miss Sunshine ($22), Seed ($22), Harry & Sally ($23), Notting Hill ($22), and Hocus Pocus ($21). It's not often when almost everything on the menu appealed to me. All of the drinks were delicious with no disappointment at all. I really enjoyed the seed, which came in a clear, glass tea cup to fit the vibe. Hocus pocus and notting hill were also ones I'd definitely get again. I really enjoyed how they can make a dark liquor so light and refreshing at the same time.This is the perfect date night spot (and we also saw many people on their first dates here too). It has a sexy and intimate vibe with some of the best drinks in town.

George Bang Bang is a great cocktail bar to take guests. It's an experience from the beginning since the door to the bar is in the back of an actual restaurant. The interior is very speakeasy vibes if that makes sense. It's kind of classy and they play classical music inside. Very dark and well-themed but a little crowded inside. This was my third time visiting and I got the Harry & Sally, which I thought was good but could have been stronger. We also shared the shumai, which was surprisingly unique as they added wasabi or something to it which gave a nice kick. ~17 for mocktail and ~21 per drink

A reservation for this speakeasy is a must, unless you don't mind waiting 30 minutes outside after you put yourself on the waitlist. This speakeasy is hidden in Okdongsik, which you access by walking to the back of the room to open a hidden door.I tried their Cafe de GBB ($23), which is their take on an espresso martini. I recommend if you like this kind of cocktail. I also tried their Juliet of the Spirits ($23), which I wasn't too fond of the taste, but was interesting to try.Overall, it was a cool thing to experience, but it's rather crammed in a particularly small space, which I wasn't really fond of. Waiting for your seat is also a hassle as there's not really a time limit. I did appreciate the craftsmanship of the cocktails being made by the bartenders as I was lucky enough to be seated at the bar.

This place is very packed = need reservation. The spot is giving speakeasy vibes: dark interior, dim lighting and small candles. The space is a little cramp and slightly warm/damp. They did not have many mocktails options. 1. Melena (virgin): refreshing 2. Notting hill: alcoholic, very floral, good.Had a great time and would definitely come back again.

We were greeted right away when we entered through the door in Okdongsik. The hostess was attentive and very friendly. We had a decently large group and it's a fairly small place but they were accommodating. The space is quite dark and intimate. I would say it's better to go for a date or with 2-3 friends max. The decor is really pretty and the drinks were delicious. We each got a different one to try and they were all good so I don't think you can go wrong with any of the cocktails. I would say it's a pretty extensive menu as well so there should be something for everyone. Would definitely go back again!

Speakeasy behind Okdongsik! I love the vibes and ambiance here. It's very cozy and nice. The servers were also constantly filling our waters. BUT THE HIGHLIGHT were the drinks!! They're so well crafted. I got the Notting Hill which was my favorite! My friend got the Harry meets Sally and we typically don't like whiskey but this was VERY yummy~! kind of like strawberry yogurt.
