Came here with my best friend on a Sunday afternoon. We had the best time. The bartender was amazing. She was so sweet and made the best drinks. I had the "apple apple apple" it was so delicious, not too sweet. Place is decorated so beautifully. And super clean.

a TRUE speakeasy!!!!!!
What a FUN space. I believe this is owned by the same people who own Blind Pig across the street? The exterior is made to look like a bakery, and you can certainly sit in there and order/eat pastries. But if you want cocktails, you need to go into the back area. We did not have a reservation, but luckily there were two seats open at the bar. I would recommend making a reservation if you want to sit at one of the little tables or the fun booths in the back near the fireplace.
The room is very dark with pink lighting (and all the bartenders are wearing pink suits - it's a cute nod to the old bakery theme). The cocktails were super. I thought Blind Pig's cocktails were good, but these were slightly more elevated and unique. A very sexy space - I will definitely be back. So fun!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Jul 24, 20241 check-in
Some friends and I came on a weekend night. We didn't need reservations at 8pm, but by the time we left, it was definitely more crowded.
The vibe is definitely very sexy. They have some nice attention to detail and decor. It's not very intimate (e.g., tall ceilings and bright lights in the smaller booths), but the sexy vibe is there.
Their cocktail menu seems to change a lot, so you're more likely to need to check the menu while you're there. It seems to lean more toward gin and clear alcohol - at least this summer.
It took forever to get a Guiness 0. Our waiter was very apologetic, but it was very odd since cocktails would be, in theory, harder to create.
I'm glad we checked it out.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 0 - 82320414Jul 13, 2024
Came here for an after dinner drink
Potential can be so much more
Limited menu is what got me both with food and drinks
But cool speakeasy in white plains that is worth a try
Service was good and it was happening spot when we were there.
Dark vibe with Dracula like feel to it
We liked it just felt like the menu could of have more and more specialty cocktails besides the expresso martini
Which was good
We will be backHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 12, 2023
Operation Midnight Climax was first brought to my attention when one of my friends mentioned a new speakeasy had opened up downtown. Since I make it my intention to try out new spots in White Plains, my interest was instantly piqued. Cut to it sweeping across my feed on Yelp a few days later; pics looked great, so when one of my colleagues and I were looking to get together for drinks, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to check this place out.
OMC sits on Martine Ave right off the main commercial strip of downtown White Plains. In true speakeasy style, the space is hidden in the back of another business - in this case, Sweet Temptations Bakery. Walking in it looks like a typical bakery, but the back wall contains a hidden door which opens up to the speakeasy. The aesthetics are striking - purple lighting, velvet chairs/banquettes, an impressive bar, and a lot of different finishes that make for conversation pieces. They really did a great job with the space. I heard that the people behind OMC are the same as The Blind Pig across the street; this makes sense as the aesthetics are similar, albeit Blind Pig is more of a traditional bar.
Anyway, onto the food and drinks. The menu isn't large but they have a selection of apps and pizzas as well as a selection of specialty and classic cocktails; for a spot that just opened I thought they had a pretty full menu. I decided to browse their specialty cocktails and went with the Fat Man which was a (I think) gin-based drink with notes of grape. It was really good - smooth and not too strong. They also carved their name into the large ice cube in the glass which I thought was a nice touch.
For food we decided to get a few shareables: the charcuterie plate, cheese place, lamb kebabs, and truffle popcorn. I'm not a big lamb fan but did partake in one kebab and it was pretty good - it came with a tzatziki-like sauce on the side which was a nice complement. The charcuterie plate was more just assorted meats - it was pretty good but I thought it could have been leveled up a little with more charcuterie accents. I felt the same about the cheese plate - they can probably combine these two together or just add more to each to make them a more complete dish. The popcorn was great - it had a lot of flavor and in addition to the truffle it was also seasoned with parmesan - I honestly didn't think it would be seasoned so well but they exceeded by expectations.
Service was excellent - our server did a great job making sure we were taken care of and made awesome suggestions from the menu. On a higher level, the entire team was super friendly - I could tell a lot of effort and love went into this place. Overall, OMC is a total yes; I'm really glad a spot like this opened in White Plains, and I'm looking forward to my next visit.Helpful 14Thanks 2Love this 15Oh no 2 - 384117111346Sep 29, 2023First to Review
This speakeasy just opened in White Plains. I walked by last week, but I thought it was just a bakery. It's not! Walk through the bakery and through the pink floral doors to get to this speakeasy: Operation Midnight Climax! (OMC)
I'm so glad I stopped by. I headed back a few days after I first walked by; I realized I completely missed this speakeasy. I saw the same entrance online and realized there was more to see!
I stopped by after OMC had been open for about a week. I sat at the bar, but there was plenty of seating: in the dessert portion of OMC, at tables in the speakeasy, and there were a few spots at the bar.
The drink and food menu is pretty vast. They have an array of speciality cocktails and the standards. I'll definitely have to come back again or a lot to try more of their options.
If you've tried the only other speakeasy in White Plains, Blind Pig, that's across the street, this is the owners' second spot in the area. The vibes here are completely different than BP. Here, there was more lighting, it was quieter and there were a lot of larger groups here, more table seating, etc. I recommend checking out both places (BP + OMC) though!
I can't wait to come back here again. I'm glad this place opened in WP!
The ambiance and vibes here are unlike any other spot in Westchester!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1 - Feb 6, 2024
Fun speakeasy vibe bar in downtown White Plains. It's the same owners of The Blind Pig, which I love as they are bringing new dining and nightlife experience to the city. The drinks were well made and delicious and the light apps were yummy. I came here with friends and we had a booth in the back. The vibe was good and fun, service was decent, and the f&b was tasty. It is a bit pricey for WP, more in line with NYC but I'd still recommend it for an occasional weekend out! I'll definitely be back :).

Super cute place!! The decor is 10/10 for vibes.
Service was a little slow to get drinks considering it wasn't too busy when we went- but was worth the wait , drinks are delicious , the chef and staff were very nice. We haven't tried the food yet but heard great things and will definitely be back to try more items. Looked delish from the plates we saw come out - Very nice addition to the neighborhood - it'll def be a successHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Portia R.Norwalk, CT02114Jun 21, 2024
Aesthetics and decor are 10 out of 10! It has a grown and sexy vibe. Absolutely perfect for a date night. The snacks paired with a cocktail were perfect. The service was excellent.

This place is great, velvet seating, dark purple lighting, full bar with extensive list of options. Beautiful decor everywhere with two private tables. Arrived at 8pm on a Sat night, had to wait 15 minutes before getting in. At the moment, this place is CASH ONLY and there's no ATM inside. Drinks were great, around $15-$20 each, small glasses but packed a punch. Place was packed, seats about 50 people. At one point, it was standing room only. Line was around the block by the time we left at 10pm. Many people there were dressed to impress, but not all, so come as you are. You have to walk inside the sweet shop to get to the speakeasy. Great new place!
