Tucked away from casual foot traffic at 207 2nd Ave, a hidden speakeasy pairs live ’90s jazz with Indian-inspired fare and tabletop tarot readings.
Room 207 operates out of a concealed back room, requiring patrons to bypass the primary storefront and step through a heavy metal door and curtain to reach the venue.
🎷 Live Jazz and Tarot Under the Red Glow
The interior leans into classic speakeasy aesthetics with a distinct, deep red wash of light. Scalloped overhead lamps illuminate a dark dining room lined with organically shaped mirrors, where guests can spread red tarot decks across black marble tables.
The atmosphere is anchored by live musical performances, featuring a trumpet player delivering sets of ‘90s jazz throughout the evening.
🦪 Indian-Inspired Oysters and Cocktails
The menu diverges from traditional bar snacks by integrating bold Indian spices and flavor profiles.
Food offerings include fresh oysters topped with a spice blend and scattered with picturesque edible flowers, alongside savory pastries layered with meat and microgreens.
The cocktail program focuses on reimagined classics, with a menu listing options like the Bees Knees, Highball, and Dirty Martini. Drinks are prepared with careful attention to presentation, arriving in varied glassware with salt rims, fresh mint, and fruit garnishes.
By maintaining a low profile on a busy Avenue block, the back-room establishment relies on word-of-mouth rather than street-level signage to draw its evening crowd.
