Raines Law Room Chelsea

Raines Law Room Chelsea, located at 48 West 17th Street in Manhattan, offers an intimate cocktail experience defined by limited capacity and carefully curated hospitality. The venue emphasizes quality craft cocktails including seasonal creations and time-honored recipes, paired with a small plates menu and led by Bar Director Meaghan Dorman, who oversees hands-on cocktail classes and professional private event packages. Reservations accommodate groups of 8 or fewer in the intimate setting, though walk-ins remain welcome; bookings via Resy or direct contact ensure access to this 21+ establishment. A unique offering is the "Raines on the Road," a fully operational 1959 Airstream bar available for weddings and events, extending the venue's hospitality beyond its brick-and-mortar location. The bar prioritizes meaningful connection and sophisticated libations in a refined, welcoming environment that values patron experience over scale.
