Cozy, great live music, and superb cocktails-- all of the things a speakeasy should have without an obnoxious door policy. If they have room, they'll seat you.

knock twice and speak to the man

Tucked away in the back of a divey asian mish-mash bistro, like something out of a David Lynch movie is a very sleek, elegant tiny little bar. Notice the angel with horns looking down on you from the bar waiting for the spirits to rise... hence the "Angels Share". There's no standing and don't try walking in with more than four people. They make classic cocktails in the classic way and do it very well. Great pre-outing spot.
