Times Square speakeasy is getting its seductively shaped glasses stolen



They’re raising their glasses, then taking them home.

Employees at the ’80s-themed speakeasy The Woo Woo spilled to The Post on their drinking problem — sticky-fingered patrons stealing their seductive stemware.

The West 47th Street watering hole pays homage to Times Square in the ’80s, where “peep shows, playhouses and adult film stores lined the streets” — with a sex shop at the entrance and sultry-named cocktails served in suggestive glasses.

The Pure Temptation, a mix of whiskey and pomegranate, is shaken and stirred into a glass in the hourglass shape of a female body. And the Panty Dropper, a mezcal, chipotle and watermelon mix, is poured into one that resembles a woman’s backside.

“People love particularly the body and what we call the ‘ass glass.’ We got people kissing them, licking them,” bartender Tara McDermott told The Post.

Customers love the glasses so much — they won’t put them down, even as they are walking out the door.

“A girl was trying to walk out with three of the bodies in her sweater . . . in the handbags, anything you can imagine,” McDermott said.

“We’re cracking open at least a box or two every day. We have not nearly enough because they keep going missing.”

The Woo Woo opened in 2022, and introduced the uniquely shaped glasses — which are sold in four-packs on Amazon for $32 — a year later. Around 70 have been taken so far, said general manager Neil McDonnell.

“I don’t have a secret supplier. It’s just Jeff Bezos,” McDonnell said, laughing.

The bar recently turned to Instagram, posting a video showing a bartender pouring a drink into McDermott’s cupped hands with the caption, “How it’s gonna be if y’all keep stealing all our glasses.”

“I’m f–king guilty as charged,” one commenter brazenly replied.

McDermott said she wasn’t surprised by the admission, since most guests have “no remorse” for stealing them — and even when they get caught, are known to still ask, “Can I please have it?”

“They’ll also turn around a lot of the time and say, ‘Can I buy it instead,’” added server Grace Frasch.

But McDonnell isn’t interested in selling them, because “we can’t afford to part with one,” he said.

Besides the glasses, approximately 50 of the vinyl records served with their Shot Through the Heart, aka “the coke shot,” have also been snatched. (The 45s are served with crushed Pixy Stix candy on top, resembling lines of cocaine. Customers are then asked to “lick your finger, swipe the line, gum it and then take the shot.”)

“I can’t even fathom how many of these have gone missing. We’re making new ones every day,” McDermott said.
