About this location
Gotham Speakeasy runs the same 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM window as Brooklyn Deli two gates back at B34 and Van Wyck Bar & Grill at B38, a stretch of Concourse B that opens and closes in step. Hunt & Fish Club, sharing B34 with Brooklyn Deli, starts an hour later at 6:00 AM but still shuts at that same 10:00 PM. Cocktails, wine and beer are on the menu here alongside food, which the deli counter at B34 doesn't pour. JFK has just this one Gotham Speakeasy.
