About this space

Secretly tucked away in The Gin Mill is a private party space that has the charm of a classic speakeasy with the modern amenities needed to pull off an amazing party.

The Speakeasy Room features a vaulted brick ceiling adorned with crystal chandeliers, hardwood floors, a fully stocked mahogany bar, and for those cooler winter nights a working fireplace. A perfect venue for the 1920s themed birthday party, corporate function, or place to gather after a softball tournament in Central Park.

Usually booked for

Birthday Party

Typically for 35-45 guests and costs about $2,000.

"Their staff is clearly experienced and did an excellent job with our birthday party."

The whole team at The Gin Mill were such incredible hosts. Tony was a rockstar, making sure everything ran smoothly during our event. He was also incredibly kind and funny and made sure everyone felt welcome. Christine was an amazing resource leading up to the event as we had to pivot to a bar buyout to accommodate our larger than expected crowd. The location was amazing, the food was incredible, 10/10 all around.

FAQ

Yes, food and beverage minimums apply and must be met throughout the event. There is no booking fee.

Yes, the cake and some decorations can be dropped off the day before, but storage is limited, so the amount of decorations cannot be large.

You can view a walkthrough of Jake's Dilemma, where you'll see The Oak Cellar downstairs.
