The Speakeasy
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 a 1920’s themed birthday party, corporate function, or place to gather after a softball tournament in Central Park.
