    I went for the first time this past Saturday, Dec 28th, and I had an amazing time! The place is decorated beautifully, the bartender was really friendly, and created a new cocktail for the happy hour, that was unique and delicious, and the burlesque show was exquisite. I actually came here to see burlesque. There were two acts with a very talented dancer, who performed classic burlesque, one with feather fans, my favorite style. My only issue was the atmosphere between two acts, there was very loud club music playing between the acts, which in my opinion is not fitting speakeasy vibes at all. I couldnt hear my friends talking, but I didnt want to leave because I wanted to see the second burlesque act. If the music after the first act would be less loud/annoying, I wouldnt have taken one star off, it wouldve been a perfect speakeasy, with great service, cocktails and a show.

    I’ve been here a few times prior and I’m really glad I returned this past Sat btwn Christmas and NYE . The burlesque was incredible and a super talented dancer , hoping to catch more of her upon return. The only issue for me was I was a bit surprised as I was expecting to listen to sexy jazz music in such a beautiful, intimate setting instead there was loud , pumping house music . I’d definitely would return with friends and perhaps in the future my only request is please more jazz !😂😂

    Tonight my friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday and we had a lovely time! Our server Tyler was also the DJ and she was absolutely incredible, immaculate vibes, great music and also made sure the birthday girl had an extra special night ❤️

    Only went to the bar here but can’t stop thinking about it, hence the review weeks later. Shame to admit, but had a few different spirited cocktails all concocted by Victor and T. I am very critical of cocktails, particularly in this area (ahem, Clover Club is not what it’s yoked up to be). You will get a top notch cocktail and welcome here. Only reason I haven’t gone back is dry January. Looking forward to February.

    Such a special place to enjoy a delicious cocktail! Swanky, red velvet, fancy digs with spendid service, great small bites and friendly helpful staff. Loved it!

  • Review 6 (2019-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place! Not only is it fun to find, but the drinks are delicious and its below a fantastic restaurant. So you can grab a bite before heading down. Wasnt crowded when we went and I adore the booths and the decor.

  • Review 7 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    I had an amazing experience here!! Vibes were great, staff was friendly, drinks were delicious, and the music was awesome... 10/10 all my friends loved it too.

  • Review 8 (2023-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Went here randomly tonight, and the hostess was extremely accommodating. She truly went above and beyond for me and my friend +the friends we had join the group. She easily could have been snobby and annoyed, but she moved us to a a bigger table when it became free. 10/10 customer service. I didn’t catch her name but she was amazing and should be commended for her observation skills and people skills.

  • Review 9 (2017-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    This is a sweet and gorgeous interior underground lounge. Reminds me of a 14th century Queens Chamber. Chez Moi is the restaurant that Le Boudoir is connected to. Havent eaten there yet. However, my friends love the food. Great romantic spot for a date night with your boo😘. Though this night we celebrated the Beautiful life of my Beautiful Sistah. Shes the one in the Gold sparkle dress

  • Review 10 (2024-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    We came here for a wedding after party and it was the BEST spot to keep the party going. The music was really fun, space was beautiful, and service was excellent! There was also a nice private space in the back for some of our group to chill. s/o to Gabby for taking great care of our group. Would highly recommend!

  • Review 11 (2020-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    This tiny spot was easy to miss while walking by but upon entering you immediately know that you made a great choice. Inside was dimly lit and intimate - which was a fantastic atmosphere. The wine was delicious and our bartender, Mark, was super helpful when he overheard me telling my friend that I always want to try good cocktails but never know what to order. His service and personality was top notch. Will 100% be back next time I make my way into BK!

  • Review 12 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    Killer, kick ass place. Good drinks, good mood, good bartenders. Bathrooms were really fun too. All Victorian!

  • Review 13 (2024-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing drinks in a fun speakeasy. Highly recommend the celery mezcal one. Was awesome.

  • Review 14 (2017-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    Hands down one of my favorite cocktail bars in Brooklyn. Great, well-crafted drinks. Fun ambiance. The food is a little hit or miss, but the drinks totally make up for it.

  • Review 15 (2019-03-01 - Rating: 5)

    Relaxing basement cocktail lounge styled after Marie Antoinettes bed chambers. Amazing drinks and live music on Mondays. This place is definitely worth your time!

  • Review 16 (2022-09-04 - Rating: 4)

    Cute speak easy with a burlesque show but shortly after we got there it was closing drinks were good service was good

  • Review 17 (2017-07-31 - Rating: 4)

    Le Boudoir is fantastic for unique and carefully constructed cocktails. The bartenders are friendly, and unlike some speakeasies in the city nowadays, this place is much more reserved and calm.The theme is quite fun - even the toilets are built in to look like you can reenact your favorite Game of Thrones on-the-crapper murder.

  • Review 18 (2020-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite spot to get drinks in the area. Dimly lit atmosphere, great cocktails, attentive staff. They also rent out the space. Had an event here a bit ago and everyone is still talking about it today!

  • Review 19 (2018-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    Bottom line: intimate space with amazing mixology.Long line: this bar is absolutely awesome. Hidden away, I wasnt sure I was in the right place at first. Once inside, the bar has two separate areas (pictured) with one Victorian style one with velvet walls and old timey decorations and the other a brick basement. The drinks are intricate and numerous, and the two were tried were outstanding. Overall a great hang out spot and the prices were actually quite good for the area.

  • Review 20 (2023-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to be there. Drinks where classy.

  • Review 21 (2017-03-13 - Rating: 4)

    Nice and cosy place. Ordered two Cocktails which were not on the menu. No problem for the bartender to prepare them with hight standard and good taste.

  • Review 22 (2018-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    A great secret spot for drinks w your lover or side boo. That back room is super sexy.#coalhole

  • Review 23 (2017-05-01 - Rating: 4)

    Awesome underground spot with a 20s speakeasy feel. Nice selection of cocktails and a really great private back room. Definitely worth checking it out.

  • Review 24 (2018-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Very lowkey/quiet bar which I entered through a book case (?!) - the drink and food selection are both great. Music was also very great, I recommend this lowkey place for an intimate evening!

  • Review 25 (2017-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    I almost dont want to leave a review so people dont find this place but I feel obligated. Really friendly staff, amazing service, really cool design and interior too. We were there kind of early and it wasnt too crowded at all, but I would guess it picks up more later on. Definitely recommend!

  • Review 26 (2018-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    My Wedding Shower was here. Beautiful and sexy spot

  • Review 27 (2020-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktails! I would highly recommend the 1755 if you want something refreshingly rum infused.

  • Review 28 (2019-08-28 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite neighborhood hidden gem when I want to grab and easy but tasty cocktail! Love the atmosphere, vibe, everything about it!

  • Review 29 (2017-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    Small speakeasy underground with nice 20s booths and a private back room that was part of one of the original subway tunnels! Cool place and will be back for the jazz evenings.

  • Review 30 (2019-01-22 - Rating: 4)

    Fun secret bar located underneath Chez Moi. Decor and cocktails alone are worth going. When we went the music selection was not the best which kind of killed the vibe. Good photo ops.

  • Review 31 (2016-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    Cocktails were delicious! Intimate and cool spot. Highly recommend.

  • Review 32 (2017-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Ask for Frankie, if you are uncertain as to what you want, she will design one to meet your vibe and tastes, , her cocktails are great

  • Review 33 (2018-07-30 - Rating: 4)

    Enjoyed the experience. We sat in the back room which would be so fun if you went with a big group. We tried two of their specialty cocktails and we loved them. Kyle the bartender was friendly and gave us excellent service. We would definitely come back.

  • Review 34 (2018-03-03 - Rating: 4)

    What a treasure to find this place! The Dauphin and the crème brulée was fantastic. Staff was very good she made great suggestions. My friends loved their vast selection of Absinthe, compared to most other bars. Note: no phone reception downstairs, which makes it great for uninterrupted conversations but not so good if you want to check social media.

  • Review 35 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible to find a speakeasy in the neighborhood. The decor strives for a nostalgic French sensibility whereas the drinks adamantly match the nobility. Food was good, mainly appetizers to serve. You come here for the drinks, atmosphere, and company.

  • Review 36 (2018-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    Live music on Monday nights! Atmospheric and intimate; arrive early to ensure you get a seat, and settle in for a few exquisitely crafted cocktails.edit: Certainly, feel free to use my photos. Thanks!

    Amazing atmosphere, special cocktail and entertainment will come back

  • Review 38 (2019-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Modeled after Marie Antoinettes bodouir, this intimate SpeakEasy is a charm. Indeed, a hidden gem.

  • Review 39 (2022-10-02 - Rating: 4)

    Show was great. Service was weird and a little slow. Beautiful room.

  • Review 40 (2019-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful place. Very good cocktails, very good service and very good musicians. That’s it

  • Review 41 (2019-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    I heard that Marie-Antoinette comes here when she gets bored of her Versailles summer parties. She sits on the faux Renaissance sofas, gossips about princes, and orders strictly off menu. The truffled croquettes are her favorite and we loved them too. The cheese plate was small but powerful, the French way to balance a sweeter drink. The cocktails were refreshing and floral. You can almost hear Marie-Antoinette laugh softly when you take your first sip. Well have to come back to try the beautiful desserts. The staff was friendly, fast, and professional. Brooklyn hipsters meet royalty in this unpretentious, fun, and well-managed speakeasy.

  • Review 42 (2016-10-23 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent but limited cocktails,music is a bit loud but great vibe

  • Review 43 (2023-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    There was a reservation mix-up but the person I emailed with to make the reservation (Sam) more than made up for it. They were so accommodating and went above and beyond to fit my party of 9. They gave us a round of drinks on the house for the misunderstanding, let us in downstairs early, and treated us so well. Comrade and Dan were our servers and were amazing! Thank you so much for the wonderful service and hospitality. Awesome experience and atmosphere.

  • Review 45 (2023-07-23 - Rating: 4)

    The atmosphere was wonderful. Very cozy and chill with a tint of old Victorian vibes. The bartender clearly knows what he’s doing because those cocktails were amazing.

  • Review 46 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    What an incredible experience. The setting gives a sexy Victorian vybez. The mixologist was on point with his drinks and the entertainment was spectacular. Prefect for a girls night out, birthday celebration or even just a date night. Reserve and enjoy.

  • Review 49 (2023-10-14 - Rating: 4)

    The drinks look very promising in the menu. I waited for my drink for 10 minutes just to learn that they don’t have it and I had to pick something else - it was not really satisfying. Didn’t stay for the show

  • Review 50 (2017-04-28 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 56 (2018-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    My party and I hung out in the back room, which was cozy. I really liked the service; our waiter was charming and did a good job of anticipating our needs. He even gave us some extra service since it was a light evening crowd.I ordered the Dauphin, which was layed in crushed ice and included absinthe among the ingredients. It was delicious and had a licorice taste to it. I later tried the Du Barry, which was also quite tasty. None of the drinks were very strong but they contained flavor combinations I had never tasted before and my taste buds were delighted.The food was good, but not outstanding. I was mostly there for the ambiance of seclusion and they delivered. I only tried the pate and some fries anyway and they were very tasty. Next time Ill try more food. For light fare it was good paired with my cocktails, and I was happy enough with the food. Ill definitely be returning to Le Boudoir.

    Enter through the side door of the cute restaurant and make your way down to the Boudoir. The music is refreshing and you soak your taste buds in their incredible creative cocktails. Love the decors of Versailles. Very intimate and cozy.

  • Review 64 (2017-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    What an incredible experience for Valentines. I made reservations about a month in advanced for 2. Feb 14th. Specifically downstairs. Its a small speakeasy there with only 5 tables. It felt very exclusive but most of all well taken care off by the staff. They offered wine pairings for food and suggest to hold the craft cocktail for desert as it wouldnt go with the dinner. Most importantly the staff were not uptight, they felt like friends and all of them seem happy to work there! Lastly Johnny showed us the lounge room that was part of the old subway system. It felt like something out of Quebec or Europe with the old stone room reclaimed with tufted leather sitting. This is a gem in Brooklyn and we cant wait to go back.

  • Review 65 (2019-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    A wonderful little speak easy tucked away behind a bookcase in one of my favourite oyster and steak spots. I love their cocktails and live Jazz.

  • Review 66 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Want the full speakeasy experience? Come in thru the main entrance and look for the bookshelf on the left. Go down a spiral staircase with a small set of knight armor.The bar itself is small with the seating area(s) each having their own niche. There is the more obvious red velvet area, but if you make a right past the bathrooms there is another, more cave-like seating area, better suited for larger groups.Great glassware to counter bar/restaurant ambiance. I had the Guillotine (scotch based cocktail) was quite satisfied.

    Im obsessed with this place.

  • Review 74 (2018-11-29 - Rating: 4)

    Came on a Monday night and instantly was soothed by the live jazz band. It’s a perfect spot for a romantic date. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. I had to take a star off because I was not a fan of the charcuterie plate. It had two pieces of plain old bread from a bag and the meats were not tasty. Plus it was way overpriced for what they gave you. Should have just got the cream brûlée and called it a day. The drinks weren’t amazing but decent. If you want great drinks try Long Island bar or Elsa which are both about 500ft away.

  • Review 75 (2020-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic 👏.Had drinks here (amid the pandemic) and the outdoor seating was great, host offered better seating when it became availible, drinks were TO DIE FOR. Absinthe neat and the Coconut/Gin Coctail made for such a great Saturday afternoon.Very authentic French bar/restaurant. Merci!

  • Review 76 (2017-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    Fun themed bar. A little pricey, but worth it if youre just getting one drink or are looking to show off. Try to get them to let you in the backroom, if its open.

    Firstly, you should know that the Boudoir is the bar, located in the basement, of the Chez moi restaurant. Very high quality French cuisine in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Special mention to the extremely welcoming and professional manager Mickaël.
