Dylan was awesome! Did a killer job on my haircut and was playing some good music the whole time. Will definitely be back!

They have absolutely delicious cocktails, the epitome of a Speak Easy and its a great date spot! Its pretty empty during the week, but I tend to like that more as it creates a more intimate setting.

This was a good spot 4 years ago.. terrible now. They just keep flooding people in.. not even exaggerating it took me 20 minutes just to leave and get to an exit.

Eli was wonderful, he gave me a really beautiful fade. The facility was safe, clean, & covid-precautions were in place.

Eli is a champ. The best. Pure precision. Ill be back!

Very cool, speakeasy drinks are a tad pricey, kool spot to dance and chill, not a spot i recommend for drinks, gets expensive very fast. Parking in the area is tough, especially on weekends

One of my fave places to get #stayhandsome grooming and a mixology-laden cocktail.

Great idea, interior and bar design. The DJ however was of very low quality, extremely sudden and random transitions, track selection that didn’t seem to have any theme or be well received by the visitors. The crowd didn’t seem to match the style of the bar either.

Barber review: awesome haircut with a reasonable (slightly premium) pricing. During COVID theyre taking sensible precautions (everyone in masks and eye covering, no shaves) but its good that theyre open and following guidelines. Bookings are required and theyve allowing extra time between cuts. Sadly, no drinks from the speakeasy at the back, but its still worth it to support a cool venture like this.

Blind is right. This is not a speakeasy by any stretch of the imagination. Expect an overpriced dive bar with half-decent drinks!

Super cool bar. Everything about this place was nice. Bar tender Teg (definitely spelled it wrong) was super chill and took care if my cousin and I.

Andre was awesome. The man knows a good cut and a good beard.

Feeling a drink? Go to “Blind Barber” maybe a haircut on the way out. Happy hour cocktails are $10.

Great pub . An old speak easy that looks and is a barbers at front but inside behind large sliding doors is a great atmosphere

Julian gave a great experience.. I’m a barber from Atlanta and had to check this place out.. welcomed in with a nice glass of Old Fashioned.. get seated in the chair and had some fun conversation and relaxing jazz playing on the speakers.. one of the other barbers did me a favor by taking a picture to capture this relaxing moment.. definitely will be visiting here again when I’m in town.. Great old school feel!

After relocating to NY, I cycled through 5 barbers and hairdressers before finding *my* barber at Blind Barber. The location is swanky and bougie (in the basement of a Barney’s) but the service and prices are down to earth. I’ve come back here to my barber 5+ times and have always been able to book a chair in the early evening. I recommend! 💇‍♂️

An unparalleled experience.... you have to see for yourself if your in the neighborhood

Really good speak easy bar.

Review of the barber shop. Best haircut hands down. Dylan was super talented and professional. Came in from the hot sun overheating a bit and he made me feel accepted and comfortable the whole time that I could relax and let my worries go in the barber chair. I got probably the best cut off my life so I now know the hype. Worth every penny, even got a refreshing cerveza in the back while I waited. This shop is legit and I can see why Bryce Harper partners with them. 11/10 recommend.

Must try speakeasy in the LES. Pricy in comparison to other speakeasies, but great atmosphere.

They have absolutely delicious cocktails

Great staff, great drinks, great atmosphere

Fave place to get a haircut...and a cocktail

Drinks were good, but Ive had better. Went at about 8:30-9pm on a Thursday, so it wasnt too crouded. We got seats at the bar fairly quick. They were setting up for the dancing as we left with the DJ all ready at his little station. I dont think I would have wanted to stick arouns for that anyway, but thats just me. Others may like that.Wasnt too speakeasy like with the door leading from the barber shop to the bar was constantly ajar, and at about 9-9:30pm, the bounce was stationed outside like it was a club. I thought the point of speakeasy was that it wasnt recognizable from the outside as a bar or lounge?

Coolest place in NYC. Its been my favorite place since the first time I visited New York 10 years ago.

The place is great. Speakeasy bar with a barbershop in front and then you can enter the bar through the back door. Best old fashioned i have tried in Manhattan. Loved the vibe of the place. Bartender was awesome, skilled, and bilingual which I liked, (Thanks JC) our drinks were right on point, and he made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Will definitely come back. Nice spot

Pssst, follow me through this secret door to a promise land of confident craft drinks.

Classy

Good drinks but the music was so loud that we had to scream into each others ears to have a conversation. The music selection was great but I would t recommend it if youre looking for a chill bar to catch up with your friends at.

Nobody inside. I had to shout so someone came inside from the bar. There was nobody there . Two employees were inside there playing chess and another came out to tell it is fully booked and without reservation the next appointment will be tomorrow.Wonderful working moral.

First visit to the branch in The Moxy hotel because its near my office. Troy was a gem. Lovely guy. Gave me a great haircut and beard trim with hot towels etc. No rush. very cool guy and good to chat to. Thanks Troy, ill be back.

Great drinks, secret place. Beautiful environment.

Wouldn’t really call it a speakeasy as it’s very obvious where the bar is located... besides that, good atmosphere all night long and interesting drink selection. Though it’s definitely on the pricey side.

Speakeasy entrance works well. But too big inside for a Wednesday night >> felt really empty and killed the mood. Good drinks

Not a review for the shop itself, but for the bar in the back room. A fun speakeasy to go to at night! One of the major plusses is you can actually still go to this one without making a reservation weeks in advance, unlike some other popular places in the area. And it’s not that expensive drink wise for what it is, one of the cheaper speakeasy options in the area as well. Plus it’s loads of fun!

Blind Barber is an experience - a very decent bar and restaurant, with the real emphasis on a good blend of classic and modern mens barbering. The fixed rate deal (drink + haircut) is pretty good - and it certainly makes waiting for your appointment a lot easier. The bar selection is expansive for a barber shop, and comparable, if not better to the bars in the area. Generally positive experience with barbers; efficient and competent. Overall, would recommend it as a novelty experience, and certainly an option for long-term hair care if youre willing to schedule for enough in advance. Blind Barber has certainly done a good job of advertising and promoting, and it is quite well known - this means the staff is pretty professional, but also it is almost always relatively crowded.

Cool bar/lounge, with great vibes but nothing too hyper. A great change of pace from the big clubs located in Meat Packing. In addition it has a “secret” entrance which is nice simply because its something different.

Pretty cool dance club behind a barbershop. Better if you are in your 20s. Gets busy AF on Friday night. Party time! 🕺

Been coming here for about 4-5 years and its been the only place I got to for a hair cut. Has a great vibe, the barbers are great and friendly. The bar in the back is great and usually a chill spot to hang out in late night with some friends. Drinks are good and they have a good selection. Over all its a great spot to either part or get your hair cut. Or both really.

This review is for the barbershop only.Service has always been stellar and attentive without being stuffy. Alex is great. Its pretty no frills which is great for me. Go in, drink a beer, get your haircut, leave.

Very nice people and a great space

Great shop stylish haircuts at an affordable price, skilled and accommodating staff. Highly recommended

Snug barber shop, affordable price, skilled staff. Thank you so much

Behind a little barber shop that looks like nothing. Has great music and pizza to order as well as drinks. Cute vibe!

Use this mnemonic to remember the dangers of each avenue of alphabet city: Aentrification Bentrification Centrification Dentrification

Great atmosphere, very clean, affordable haircut and shave, quick service and awesome people! Highly recommended!

Cool underground bar. I was here for an event and felt that the whole ambiance went very well with the east village vibe. To start, it was super cool to walk into a bar through a barber shop. Bouncers seemed very on point in keeping the bar doors closed to keep the street crowd from peaking into a secret bar. The waiters were nice and dressed very east village, along with the hipster crowd hanging around the bar. A man at the lounge table rolled cigars in front of you, one of which you could keep for yourself. Overall, if you are looking for a not-too-crowded speakeasy, its worth checking out.

I never had a problem getting into this bar, I just didnt like the bartender and how you have to wait a while to get a drink. I think that the service could be a lot better. I will say they play amazing music in here.

I love the speakeasy-ness of the Blind Barber. Theres a working barbershop in the front! Ive only been to parties there but theyve all been amazing. The bartenders are fun and more than capable. The diversity of cocktails are great and strong enough to have you stay within your budget. Take some friends and make a night of it.

The place had a really cool vibe. Its cool to see a bar tucked away so damn well. Drinks are a little on the pricy side, even for the happy hour special though. With its laid back atmosphere, this is a great place to sit back and chat with friends.

Got a hair cut and beard trim with Jeremy last weekend, his attention to detail and the overall experience was well worth the price. I cant recommend a barber shop more strongly, definitely my go to from now on!

Beyond cool. Speakeasy style. Good drinks and atmosphere. Great shabby-chic Melbourne-esk decor. Great experience for anyone. Does get very busy on the weekends. Be ready line up if youre fashionably late

Great for the late night dancing experience in East Village. The people here are all in it to have a good time, and in no ways pretentious. The DJs here are awesome and can really get the people grooving.Also, the cocktails here are on point and the staff looks according to their theme, a barber shop.

Its one of those secret speakeasy bars thats hip right now. Spoiler alert: if you have a bouncer and a rope line, it ruins the secret vibe. Chill place inside with okay music and average priced drinks. The bartenders could stand to be a little more enthused and efficient.

Probably one of the cooler speakeasy bars Ive been to in the city. The cocktails are solid. It is really a barber shop during day and bar at night. The velvet rope for exclusivity is a bit much. Would be 5 stars, if they didnt have a velvet rope exclusive feel at the entrance around 10pm.

Cool atmosphere, a great addition to the many other hidden speakeasies in the neighborhood

Super cool speak easy in a great location. Drinks could be a bit pricey and may require a long wait at the bar, but definitely makes for a fun night out !

Worse bar Ive been to in a long time. Door guy hassled me for not having a reservation, after finally being let in and hassled by a secondary door guy, I found that the bar wasnt even full and drinks were highly over priced. If youre in the neighborhood looking for an honest drink and not getting hassled by door guys that dont want your business do yourself a favor and walk the The B side a few blocks away. If only yelp allowed you to rate a business with zero stars.

Probably one of my fave places in the East Village.We came here on a Friday night, breezed right in without a problem - trying to act cool like I wasnt super impressed by the pull away wall at the back of the Barber shop (I was).The vibe is pretty much what youd expect from a cool speakeasy; dim lighting, little booths to tuck yourself away into, a decent dance floor, cool tunes.Only downside was the wait at the bar, I mean cmon fellas! I dont want to wait nearly twenty minutes just to get a drink... Im parched from dancing and I want something delightful with all the whiskey and all the magic of whatever cocktail you can make with that, not having to wait being bros ordering an ass load of beer.

The unexpected behind a door 🍸

Good people, great drinks in cozy comfortable space. What else do you need

Great place with one of the best cuts I have ever had!

Has the potential to be super cool, but as other reviewers mention, the speakeasy vibe is ruined by having bouncers and a roped-off entrance. Atmosphere inside was very much Meatpacking. Music selection was bizarre. All in all made for a somewhat anus experience. So theyve embarrassed themselves there.

Fun and chilled. Drinks were much cheaper than other bars and there was plenty of space. A pleasant surprise!

Cool vibe, nice atmosphere, great haircut at an affordable price, amazing team too

Rustic and cozy place, staff are polite and skilled. Highly recommended!

Great venue with great music, have never had a better experience in a place called blind barber. Youll love it

Justin cut my hair yesterday and what a pro he is! He used only scissors and cut my hair perfectly! If you want a professional who cuts great go to him asap!

Small nice place at the back of a barber shop. Bartenders not very attentive but they know their skill!

Great barber shop! They also offer free beer for the customers!

Dylan is excellent. Hes a really cool guy to talk to and did a fantastic job in my hair. Plus, having the bad in the back is huge benefit.

3.5 ish. This place is alright dependent on what day/time you come in. The obvious Saturday nights get crowded as crazy ... I would bounce real quick once I see a riot like one I witnessed. Came again to give it one more try on a Monday early evening and it was really quiet. I was surprised we even got a seat. Bartenders are OK and drinks are OK ... The cool factor is just coming through the shop but other than that, its alright.

Cool place! A speakeasy behind a barber shop with nice drinks!

Bar can be hard to find at night but its a neat idea having to walk through a barber shop to get to the bar. Great atmosphere but a bit small

Nice barbers, cool backroom bar but unfortunately a really bad haircut. The barber combed and cut hair with the assumption that it would always sit in that exact same position. If I now comb my hair in slightly the wrong direction or dont wear hair product it looks bloody awful. Not impressed.

This place is behind the barber shop on 10th st. Good cocktails and a great place to take your friends if they want to experience a new york speakeasy. Try to go in early since the place gets crowded after 10pm

Cool concept. Enter through a barbershop...but thats the extent of the good. The floor was super sticky, cant dance if youre glued to the floor. Music was stuck on regaeton for the longest time...might be personal opinion but we didnt go to a Latin Club. Change up the music every few songs, pls!

Good cocktails, but you really want to go here when its pumping. Ive been when it as heaving and it was great - then went when late on a week night when it was pretty quiet - it doesnt have the atmosphere to have a quiet drink and chill out at.

Snug place, great place to get a haircut and have a drink, polite people. Thank you

A barber shop with a spacious bar inside to hang out.. great speakeasy spot..

I didnt get my hair cut but the bar was amazing. The bartenders skills, amazing the size of the place...too small

Show the staff a picture or describe what you want and they will do you right. Even the bald barbers can cut hair like beasts. Not overly priced at around $30 for a mens cut. You can find cheaper but you pay for what you get.

Great atmosphere, reasonable price, great drink in the bar section. Thank you

Nice speakeasy behind barber shop. good for dancing and great cocktails

Cool space. Rough staff, place wasn’t busy and the bartender just ignored all four of us

Chill spot to grab a beer, they do actually cut hair. The hair cuts are super expensive, Ill just continue to get my hair cut up in the Bronx. The bar is low key, but then again it is a speakeasy.

Great barbershop, and cool bar at the back. Cant go wrong.

Great barber shop! Mark Davis made my visit a great experience.

The Barber Julien has really great energy.The lounge in the back is cool to get a couple drinks.

Crowded, lively vibe with young crowd. Tasty cocktails. Fun surprise entryway. Few places to sit.

Very cook speakeasy place. Back room turns into a proper bar after hours, great dj, interesting cocktails, we had a great night.

Very nice atmosphere. Warm and comfy. Cocktails are great. Drinks are a little expensive but normal for this area.

Fun concept, great staff. Came in as a walk in and was able to get a hair cut as soon as 30 min after walking in, had a complementary drink that comes with the cut while I was waiting.

The speakeasy idea is cool, but the place is crowded and small and doesnt have a lot of seating.

The exterior definitely creates a speakeasy feel that is really clandestine and mysterious! Great cocktails and specialty drinks.

Went on a Saturday night. Nice place but the music was all over the place. Transitioned from one genre to another horribly.

Wanted to try their products until they tried to actively silence me for a joke on their Facebook ad, and I dont support or promote companies that dont support free speech in America lol

Good cocktails and good ambiance, safe spot to go if you dont really know where to hang out in the east village

Awesome cocktails!! Ask for the dealers choice if you are adventurous. Thou shalt not be disappointed !!

Small place, cool bar vibe hidden behind a barber shop. Great for drinks and a little dancing.
