Suggestions for Cocktail Bar near Alphabet City, New York

s v. • June 7, 2017(Thrillist tip) Seating here isn’t plentiful, so come early and get the 8 Amaro Sazerac, a "House Favorite," which mimics the original beautifully while ditching the rye whiskey altogether

Andrew M. • April 5, 2016great cocktails with cool homemade ingredients

Noah W. • August 21, 2015From the Wayland folks comes very solid cocktails -- everything with fresh veggies and fruits were particularly good -- and legitimately tasty bar food like a "pastrami" fish sandwich. Solid value.

Jole P. • July 19, 2019LOVED that there’s no menu and the bartender makes you whatever based off of your preferences/ the TYPE of person you are. Thats tight. My cocktail was PERFECT

Karen V. • January 23, 2014Easily top 5 best cocktails bars in NY. Charmingly rustic. Go for the Mezcal Mule. Try the 2Pok Crif Dog with Pok Pok wing sauce (hold the cilantro though).

Cocktail G. • September 19, 2023Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders that don’t mind chatting about cocktails and bars. The menu is full of interesting and varied cocktails. This is a gem of a bar with ambitious cocktails!

Marie L. • October 28, 2018Our group ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Seasonal squash was quite good, fries were crispy. Great cocktail selection, try the Uncle Buck. Overall good neighbourhood spot. Welcoming staff.

Nikki W. • August 3, 2021Great service and Cocktails - James Dean and Tyler Durden. New favorite local! Amazing food- veggie skewers, short rib croquettes and steak frites.

Louisa • May 13, 2023Such a special place that I almost don’t want others to know about it! Amazing vibes due to a unique combination of coffee, cocktails, vinyl DJs and art. Hear they’re opening a backyard too!

DoubleDeuce • August 28, 2023Lots of great vibes here. Great planning on the decor and the ceiling with the design on "dive bar". Definitely a Friday/Saturday night energy spot.

Nitzan B. • November 6, 2016Very cool cocktail place with good music selection. The staff was real nice too

Carol • April 4A great shame that they’re closing. The elote, tacos, cocktails, and churros were phenomenal. Perfectly fresh, hot, crunchy churros OMG

Michael M. • December 14, 2021All the specialty cocktails!

David Z. • October 1, 2022$1 east coast / $2 west coast happy hour oysters! Get the shrimp buns too

Emilie F. • February 9, 2015Love the ambiance and cocktails. Good for a small group of friends, great, relaxed ambiance.

Alan M. • June 1, 2019A Rye and Mezcal bar, by the creators of Mace, which used to be in this space (but has since moved north a few blocks). The GM touts them as having the largest Mezcal selection in the city.

Valentin G. • March 29, 2015This place is my 2nd home, great cocktails, friendly staff and good music! Don't miss the happy hour either.

Jarel H. • December 31, 2023Best express martini

Giulia M. • June 6, 2020Obsessed with this place! Amazing oysters and overall menu as well as beautiful decor! Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back post-quarantine!

Stephanie P. • May 11, 2013This is an awesome Irish Whiskey/Absinthe bar with a rich speakeasy history. They play soft Gaelic ballads and only carry Irish beers. The creeps also look (and smell!) really solid!

Neeracha • August 13, 2022Great new speakeasy - fun cocktails, yummy Thai/Japanese food!

Nick B. • August 31, 2022Gin & Strawberry or Lychee martini!

nikki a. • January 30, 2015Sushi at the bar makes for a great easy dinner.

Jasmine M. • November 13, 2022Waited in line for 30 min around midnight. Wasn’t too packed when we went in, we’re able to get a table and seats. Played mostly 2007-2013 music.
