About this space

The Drawing Room is a private lounge in Raines Law Room Chelsea that preserves a Prohibition‑era interior and a salon‑style layout.

Design: The room is narrow and salon‑style beneath a pressed‑metal ceiling. The room has dark panelling trimmed in gilt, tufted upholstery, wall sconces and curtains that break the space into small bays.

Features: Curtained bays provide semi‑private seating pockets suitable for quiet conversation. Wi‑Fi is available.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking seated, relaxed socialising and private conversation in a low‑key setting.

What sets it apart: A semi‑secret ring‑bell entrance ushers guests through a tucked doorway into the space.

What guests say: The Drawing Room feels atmospheric and carries a convincing speakeasy character. The Drawing Room benefits from attentive service that complements the quiet, private layout.

Super nice and accommodating even though I kept changing things, everything went really smoothly day-of and the staff were very helpful! Taking requests, moving furniture, and not nickel-and-diming me for my requests. Will probably have another event with them!
