Retro Nights With a Hidden Speakeasy

A Kips Bay bar for retro DJ sets, bottomless brunch, and a tucked-away speakeasy.

🎧 Catch the retro soundtrack

The Factory 380 leans into a 1970s and 1980s New York mood with DJ-led energy and old-school jams. Start with a drink, then settle into the room as the soundtrack carries the night. The bar shifts from dinner-friendly to late-night without changing address, making it useful for a spontaneous stop or a planned outing. The music is the anchor, while the layout gives conversation a chance at quieter tables.

🍳 Book the bottomless brunch

Weekend brunch turns this Kips Bay bar into a daytime plan with food and drinks in one booking. The bottomless option runs for 90 minutes and the full table must participate, a detail worth confirming before you invite a mixed group. Chicken and waffles, burgers, and cocktails keep the menu familiar. Arrive ready to stay awhile, then move to the bar when the afternoon crowd gathers.

🗝️ Find the tucked-away room

Edie's Hi-Fi Speakeasy adds a second layer beyond the main bar, with a more hidden, intimate stop inside the same venue. Ask staff for the current access details when you arrive, then keep expectations flexible around capacity. Outdoor seating offers a quieter reset when the music peaks. Reservations are recommended, and the venue stays open late, especially from Thursday through Saturday.
