Employees only #41 Asia’s 50 Best bars
Conceived in downtown New York City by five bar industry friends, Employees Only has become the industry standard for a hospitality-inclined cocktail bar since the opening of its Original New York property in December 2004. Throughout the years, the neo-speakeasy restaurant and bar has been critically lauded and honored with awards by the global bar community, including Spirited Awards for “Best American Bar Team,” “World’s Best Cocktail Bar” and “World’s Best Drinks Selection” by Tales of the Cocktail, as well as nine consecutive appearances on Drinks International’s “World’s 50 Best Bars” list, including a 2016 win of the “Legends of the List” award. Yet EO remains true to it’s core tenet: To offer flawlessly executed cocktails and delicious, elevated food, served in a beautiful space without any pretense.
