"The Empress Room, which opened on March 6 above Madam Mikette's, is an intimate lounge that offers a little escape from the action below. You enter The Empress Room through Madam Mikette's, then slip upstairs into a candlelit space that instantly transports you to a different world."
"This cocktail-focused lounge is all about tarot-inspired drinks, each one named after a card from the deck and built with a level of detail that rewards curiosity. There's The Devil, a rich mix of brown butter-washed aged rum, black cherry, lemon, cold brew coffee and smoked saline."
"In a neighborhood that's constantly on the move, The Empress Room is a space to slow down, linger and perhaps find insight into your future while enjoying a well-made cocktail."
The Empress Room is an intimate cocktail bar that opened on March 6 on the second floor above Madam Mikette's in Manhattan. The candlelit lounge accommodates approximately 70 seated guests with additional standing room, featuring low tables, plush seating, and a central bar. Live jazz performances create the atmosphere while the cocktail menu centers on tarot-inspired drinks, each named after tarot cards with carefully balanced flavor profiles. Signature cocktails include The Devil with aged rum and coffee notes, and The Empress featuring gin and apricot. Small plates like tuna tartare tacos and shrimp tempura complement heartier options such as lobster mac and cheese. The venue operates Wednesday through Thursday from 5pm to 11pm and Friday from 7pm to 1am, with reservations available through Resy.
