    Tidy, eclectic decor meets high end cocktails. The 'Coked Up Hedge Fund Guy' is my favorite. Drag bingo on Tuesdays during happy hour. Enjoy a great cocktail and the scene any night if the week.

    Perfect place to grab a drink at while waiting for a spot at Dear Irving. Solid funny name cocktails, cool decor, and cool back garden.

    Great tiny place with outside seating! Big wine list with a lot of choice for wines by the glass. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the food but from what I could smell and see..it must be delicious!

    This place is great! Really tasty cocktails for a reasonable price, and the buffalo cauliflower is amazing. No idea why the Foursquare rating is so low but give it a shot.

    I can have about 11 of those Ron Draper cocktails. That good, nice triwst on a classic. Crowd isnt as pretentious as the area would expect which is good. Nice place to chill out with friends.

    This is the bar where you go to wait while youre waiting for your table at Dear Irving. It also couldve been a swingers club in former life, a clean one though.

    If you want a snack to share, go with the butternut squash or the truffle popcorn

    This place is definitely more a 7.5 than a 6.5. The sliders and popcorn were really good and cocktails were decent.

    Wonderful place for a date... very romantic, or to just enjoy a cocktail w a friend.

    Despite the friendly staff, the atmosphere here is uninteresting. Unsophisticated. The food and cocktails seem a generic and cheap attempt at butting into the boring NYC tapas/drinking scene. Avoid.

    Overpriced, slow service, loud music... Weird music... But a nice ambiance, fun little outdoor area... Not bad for a drink or two.

    The "Coked Up Hedge Fund Guy" is much, much more lemony than you think it's going to be.

    Looks just like it did in 2001 with the same menu- though the chocolate martinis aren't quite as appealing, the crowd..... Are they getting younger or am I just getting older?!

    Double check your bill. They will add a drink on or more to your bill especially being at a party. And don’t even think of being innocent as there was no apology for the mistake.

    Terrible service bordering on hostile. 5 of us came, only had one drink each but place was mostly empty - yet they kept rushing us, ignored requests for water, plopped check down without being asked.

    Thought it would be a good backup option to Dear Irving, but drinks are meh and it gets way too loud
