Milk & Honey was a cocktail bar originally founded in New York City on 31 December 1999,[1] with another location in Soho, London, founded by Sasha Petraske. The New York location was first located on the Lower East Side and later moved to the Flatiron District.[2][3][4] The London branch was operated as a private members' club, although non-members could visit before 11pm with a prior reservation. In September 2020 Milk & Honey London closed permanently due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The New York bar started the global speakeasy trend at its opening.[5]
House rules[]
The club operated a set of "House rules",[6] which are:
- No name-dropping, no star fucking.
- No hooting, hollering, shouting or other loud behaviour.
- No fighting, play fighting, no talking about fighting.
- Gentlemen will remove their hats. Hooks are provided.
- Gentlemen will not introduce themselves to ladies. Ladies, feel free to start a conversation or ask the bartender to introduce you. If a man you don't know speaks to you, please lift your chin slightly and ignore him.
- Do not linger outside the front door.
- Do not bring anyone unless you would leave that person alone in your home. You are responsible for the behaviour of your guests.
- Exit the bar briskly and silently. People are trying to sleep across the street. Please make all your travel plans and say all farewells before leaving the bar.
