William HAugust 23, 2014Cocktails are all delicious--try the Penicillin! Great addition to the neighborhood. Just be careful if you sit outside, the smoke from the smokers outside the neighboring bro bars tends to waft over.
Jeremy DavisAugust 17, 2013Watermelon Refresher is as advertised. Well balanced to still be "manly". Burger is nicely executed even on a ginormous bun. Cozy feel, great bar. Not well suited for large groups, perfect for dates.

Doodle HedzMay 2, 2014The best whiskey joint on the uws. Can't beat the service and they've got the best glasses to slurp from.
Draft beers and some appetizers are half off until 7. Get a craft beer for $4! Those are LES dive prices. I think I've found my stumble-home bar.
Victoria WenzelAugust 7, 2013New place specializing in whiskey - they have over 89 and are hoping to get over 100, including some really obscure varieties
Potato lollipops? Yes, please! Delicious wines and beers and whiskeys. What's not to like?
Nash TSeptember 28, 2013Friendly staff and nice location for a sunny afternoon drink. Bloody Mary was beautifully spicy :)
ᴡ ArcusSeptember 8, 2013Great selections of drinks, but run out of food items all the time, slow and pretentious service. Polish it up or you won't survive the competition in this neighborhood.
Charlotte RushtonDecember 18, 2017Food is great. Good happy hour. Friendly bar tender. Best kept uws secret
Gregory RJanuary 29, 2014Baby kale salad was great. House cured pork belly is enough like a great brunch to bring a smile to your face.
Jen McClellanMarch 9, 2014The food was good. Great Bloody Mary. But owner yelled and cursed at his wife at table next to me. I'll never come back again.
Duygu AKTANApril 12, 2014I think this is the least personable or unique restaurant on the upper west side (even after reno) maybe come for cocktails, NOT food.
Aiah WiederAugust 31, 2013Be warned: a whiskey bar 1st, a resto 2nd. Food is well-prepared overall, but plates are small, so order a side. Eggplant was on the bland side, black-&-white barley was chewy.
Great whiskey list. Watermelon refresher is exquisite as well :)
Matthew TuckerSeptember 11, 2013Small portions, but the air conditioning is great for the summer heat.
Danny C 😱April 20, 2014This is the type of place that should end up on Bar Rescue: Great potential, terrible management.
