The historic Fitzpatrick Building has been around since 1911. In the prohibition days customers use to sneak in through a secret door in the alley to enjoy some libations in the basement speakeasy. There was a restaurant on the main level, a bordello on the second floor and then Fitzpatrick had an apartment on the third floor where he hosted some wild Poker parties. The restaurant boasts fifteen foot high presses tin ceilings, magnificent mirrors and 4 levels of food and live jazz 7 nights a week.
Starting on the third floor, The Majestic offers the Pendergast Club where there is a private cigar bar that features a large collection of scotches and cigars. This area is also available for private parties. There is a humidor with a selection of cigars, a full bar, a board room and a game room. The Game Room seats 16. The Board Room has a long table with a view of Broadway and seats 10-12. This area features a central lounge that is perfect for cocktail parties.
The main level is where the main dining room is located. Walking into the restaurant looks like you are walking into a Parisian bistro with the high ceilings and mirrors behind the bar.
On the second floor there is a private party room called the Vintage Room. This room seats 50 for sit-down lunches and dinners. There is a small bar area that is perfect as a receiving area for drinks and appetizers.
The basement (where the speakeasy used to be) is home to The Majestics Jazz club where you can hear live music 7 nights a week. This area receives overflow from the restaurant if needed
