Osamil Upstairs

I came here with Gia through her recommendation and I couldn't have been more surprised. With the excess amount of speakeasies throughout the city, they all become a blur after a while. This one however stands out in the crowd of cocktail lounges as the vibe is probably one tier above the rest. Service was good, and not overly aggressive. For a speakeasy I think its the right balance. To the cocktails! I ordered a Cheese in the Trap. What a clever cocktail. There is a small pungent cheese flavor in the cocktail that doesn't overpower the drink. A slight hit of umami that is mixed with the smokiness. It's creative and unique, highly recommended if you like things like greek salad or blue cheese. Next up is the BaeBae, overall this was a nice easy sipper. Light and refreshing, this drink isn't a heavy dose of alcohol, but a nice balanced fruit forward type of cocktail. It isnt as unique as the Cheese trap but I can definitely see myself drinking multiple rounds of this one. Overall, the place is worth the visit. Cocktails are priced according to NYC standards but the ambiance and drinks definitely make up for it. Cheers.

Great date night place or even a spot for a small group - the atmosphere leans on the sexier side, dim lighting and classic furnishings but with cute holiday decor. Servers had a lovely butler uniforms, made me feel like I was at someone rich person's manor!Oysters: Fresh, and loved the little wasabi-flavored popping roe that came with it. Added a nice sharp kick to the sweet oysters. Popcorn chicken: Personally I love super crunchy things so I enjoyed this. Don't expect anything mind blowing for the price though.Harubang cocktail: As a lightweight I'm pretty sensitive to the taste of alcohol in my cocktails, but this one was light, sweet, and refreshing. Came with an adorable jelly garnish shaped like its namesake fruit which was fun to eat as well. This one definitely got me crunk lol.

Talk about a vibe!! I stopped by Osamil Upstairs for a drink and am so glad! There's option overload in Manhattan for places to go and things to do- Osamil Upstairs is a great choice if you're looking for a craft cocktail with a cozy ambiance. They had a decent selection of drinks to pick from, specialty cocktails and originals. The bartenders seemed to take great care in making the drinks and the two I tried were great! Definitely recommend as a date night, girls night out, or a cozy place to read.

Such a fun, cozy spot for date night drinks! Absolutely love the decor, which is perfectly complemented by the 1920s themed music. Sit back, chat, and enjoy one (or more!) Of their creative cocktails, sashimi, or charcuterie plates. We ordered the Baebae and Haribang -- both delicious! Reservations are highly recommended.

the BEST ambianced speak easy ive been to. Service was kind. Wish there was more space between different parties. down side is i did not like any of their drinks. We got the dotori and the bae bae and i disliked both. Probably don't have the pallet to appreciate the mixology here but was cute for a quick drink. don't think i'd come back solely bc im not a fan of the drinks here. but would recommend it to others.

My girlfriends and I tried to walk in at 8:30 and were able to get a table for an hour before someone else's reservation. They were very communicative and accommodating.The vibe is very sexy and intimate. Music was great for the space though a little louder than I expected. We were all still able to hear each other.I loved all the drinks we tried. The pump it up ($9) was a little too lemon-y but still special. My LP was truly unlike any drink I've ever had, though at $27, I'm not sure I'd get it again. The bae-bae ($23) and OE ($25) were very refreshing.Great choice! So glad we came.1 hr, walk in

When you enter Osamil, make sure to ask to go upstairs to the speakeasy bar. An employee scanned the hidden door and allowed us up right away on a weeknight. Once you're inside, the intimate setting gives it such a secretive vibe. The walls were adorned with bottles and trinkets creating a secret library or study feel.To start off, I had the Harubang ($23), which was light and refreshing hiding the whiskey quite well. It also came with a jelly ball, which was fun but difficult to consume. Next, I had the Spicy O.E. ($25), which is essentially a spicy margarita. The cucumber is strong on this one and I loved that you even get an actual chili pepper in it. This was also nice and refreshing with a kick.Overall, love the vibe but drinks are quite pricey. It's perfect for a date night or trying to impress some out of town friends.

Went late in the evening and saw the door ajar so we helped ourselves in. However, I'd advise making reservations in case your not as lucky. It was a lounge atmosphere, good for hanging with a group. We ordered soon after being seated and two out three drinks arrived in a timely manner and tasted good. It was the third drink that took quite a long time. Funny enough, it was the simplest - Wray & Nephew's+ coke. But for some odd reason, it took well over 15 minutes. It didn't help that the place wasn't even that crowded. But I'll give them the benefit of the don't - it was close to last call. Or perhaps they just ran out of coke and had to do a Bodega run. Either way, it would've been nice to know it would take so long in advance. I'd recommend, and would like to try the food downstairs.

Osamil Upstairs is still one of my favorite cocktail bars in the city after first coming a few years ago. Every cocktail I've tried has been fantastic. There is plenty of comfortable seating here, their cocktails are both tasty and beautifully made, and it is conveniently located right in K-Town. The dark, cozy vibes make for a great end to the night.

Dark and sexy bar! I sat at the bar but the couches and chairs looked really comfy. The coat racks were a nice touch. All the bartenders and wait staff were very kind and attentive. I had the matcha lime cream mocktail and my god, it was so delicious! It almost tasted like Japanese candy. Tasteful bathrooms, too.
