Opera House

It's one of the most interesting new bars to open in Chinatown in years - from the team behind the well-regarded Chinese Tuxedo, in the storied former Peachy's space on Doyers Street, with a cocktail menu that's genuinely built around a concept rather than bolted on.

Checked: Confirmed via the bar's own official site (live SevenRooms reservation system, active booking flow) and a Time Out article dated Oct 30, 2025 covering its opening in the former Peachy's space on Doyers St - new enough that there's no closure risk yet. Checked Nov 2026.

Speakeasy$$$ ChinatownApothekeA single unlabeled wooden door on Doyers Street's hairpin curve opens onto a dim, apothecary-themed room of dark wood cabinets, candlelight, and bartenders working in white lab coats. It's cramped and a little theatrical, and gets genuinely packed and loud by 11pm on weekends.Walk-ins only
