The Rickey

Located on the lobby level of posh, boutique hotel Dream Midtown, The Rickey is an energetic and inviting craft cocktail lounge, with an unconventional mixed drinks menu and a sophisticated yet accessible wine program. Conceptualized by acclaimed mixologist Johnny Swet, the high quality cocktail menu will feature only fresh ingredients and unique cocktailing methods. The bar’s furnishings and subtle design details are all one of a kind. Handpicked lamps, created by the self-proclaimed Steampunk Illusionist Terry Peikin, are made out of brass and copper with vintage pressure gauges, Edison bulbs and perforated diffusers and are situated throughout the space. Guests can enjoy their drinks while lounging on plush, velvet sofas and chairs, or at one of the barstools that align the large wrap around marble bar. Hidden in the back corner of the intimate, dim-lit lounge stands an unsuspecting DJ booth. Alongside the elevated cocktail and wine menu is a selection of small plates created by Executive Chef Michael Armstrong.
