Monday, September 14, 2026, 10:00 PM - 4:30 AM ยท The Back Room, Lower East Side, New York City
Free swing dance lesson with instructor Sammy, open to all levels, followed by a live band set from 9:30pm to 12:30am.
One of two Prohibition-era speakeasies in New York still operating from the original address, hidden behind a sign reading THE LOWER EAST SIDE TOY COMPANY. Through a gate, down an alley, and up a flight of stairs. Cocktails arrive in teacups, beer comes wrapped in brown paper bags, and the low-ceilinged, dimly lit room looks more or less as it did in 1918.
