More info

The date

The entrance is a fake Chinatown betting shop, the Happy Valley Turf Club. Step to the counter, place a wager on King Louie, and a wall opens. Behind it, Bagheera sprawls in gold, teal and imperial purple beneath a 45-foot hand-painted jungle mural, named one of the world's most alluring hidden bars by the New York Times. No reservations, open until 2am on weekends. Commit fully to the wager.

How to do it

Step to the counter of the fake Happy Valley Turf Club betting shop, place your 'bet' on King Louie, and let the wall swing open onto the gold-and-teal jungle fantasy. Order something built on saffron gin or smoked paprika and take in that 45-foot mural. No reservations and a soft two-hour cap when busy, so go on the later side, commit to the bit, and let the most theatrical entrance in the city set the tone. Weekends run to 2am.
