As most of the speakeasies in the City, the entrance, a few stairs nestled below the Chelsea Inn, is quite hard to spot. The decor is cozy and very intimate: soft lighting, Chesterfield sofas, alcoves that can be closed by a veil… Whether you want to spend a romantic moment or just enjoy delicious signature cocktails by the most talented mixologists in the city, The Raines Law Room is the place you are looking for… A NYbutterfly’s pick!
It’s also a dream spot in the summer as they have the cutest hidden English garden…
The Raines Law Room is located 48 West 17th St (bet 5th and 6th). tel: Check out their website for more info.

We are delighted to tell you that Jacqui Small has an upcoming book called ‘World’s Best Cocktails’. Published in Autumn 2012, it will include, amongst other features, the world’s top bars and recipes for ‘couture’ cocktails chosen by top bartenders.
We are looking for high resolution pictures of cocktails, bottles of the featured brands, bars and bartenders. Amongst the bars is Raines Law Room. I stumbled across your fantastic photos above. I am very much hoping you would be so kind as to provide these picture for us. We will of course credit the photographer and/or nybutterfly.wordpress as preferred in the Acknowledgments section of the book.
Thank you so much for your help and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
Very best,
Cathy Morrow
