An intimate place with simple yet killer decor. Specializing in gin cocktails--try the Far East gimlet or their take on the Singapore Sling. Great for dates, though go early if expecting to get a seat

Surprised this doesn't have higher ratings! Love their cocktails (the bleeker drink is good but their gin selection is great so try something on the rocks!) also chicken wings!!!

Tight squeeze on the inside, but if you're lucky enough to snag a booth with a few beautiful friends, you're in for a good night of cocktails and a live DJ.

Delicious & inventive gin-based cocktails and they make a solid Old Fashioned. Cozy space, knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Good for dates and meeting friends.

Loved it! A gin bar with creative drinks and good environment. Had a very nice experience and will definitely come back.

A little pricy but very nice interior and great drinks. I enjoy the hot cup o tea. But all the cocktails and snacks are great. Good for small parties too.

They have extra fancy gin drinks on the menu, but I'd recommend going for a classic negroni. Dave makes a perfect one.

Subtle signage in the front, leads you to a beautiful cocktail den. Get any of the gin drinks here and rest your head on the black couch when you are done.

In honor of the Tribeca Film Festival, try the "Diamonds Are Forever". Champagne topping off a combination of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® Gin, triple sec, lemon, simple syrup, and egg white.

The gin-based cocktails come from the 30+ brands of gin stocked behind the bar. Tasty but uneven East and Southeast Asian bar bites round out the menu.
BettyAugust 10, 2013
Ordered 3 gimlets at once (made with Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Brooklyn Gin); sat back then enjoyed the taste testing experiment. Conclusion: They make great gimlets!

Hand the menu back and simply ask what flavors of jam they have that day. Gin and jam. That's right, a spoonful of jam in a gin cocktail. Incredible.

This is a gin bar. So don't come here thinking you're gonna get solid bourbon cocktails. (Face palm)
Natalie ComoOctober 10, 2011
the housemade fruit preserves (pineapple and vanilla is my fave combo) is the most divine drink (coupled w either gin or vodka, you choose!) top of the cocktail list
Margarita KrupJune 29, 2015
Great cocktails! Try the sazerac cocktail. Came here on a Saturday and there was a dj playing music.

The Gin + Jam cocktail is great. A simple gin sour plus a teaspoon of seasonal jam or preserves.
Zach MaierJune 29, 2012
The horse and carriage punch bowl is fantastic if you have a group of four or so. Or maybe if you're just really thirsty...
Joseph StadelmaierNovember 11, 2014
Negronis with Brooklyn gin and the far eastern gimlets are Awesome!
ThrillistMay 14, 2012
Travel to the far east (of Bleecker St.) to experience the Far East Gimlet (yuzu, housemade lime cordial, Vietnamese mint). Read more
Annie LuSeptember 17, 2012
Get the pork belly and Far East gimlet - the yuzu and mint is refreshing and helps cut through some of the fattiness
Anthony SmithSeptember 25, 2012
One of the best whiskey sours I've ever had the privilege of consuming. They use egg whites though, so heads up on that.
Ron C.September 5, 2012
RONdazed says: The Madam Jams & Preserves is Amazing. Not too sweet and it still has a nice kick to it. Very Refreshing.
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011
Madam Geneva is known for its fruity preserves—all of which can be served over ice with Beefeater gin or 42 Below vodka. Think: pineapple vanilla bean, pear ginger and cranberry orange.
Emily KaneJune 9, 2015
Snuggle up on a velvet couch and prepared to be wowed by a sloe gin ginger sling.
Sam McCrimsonMarch 23, 2013
Make sure to ask for one of their Jam drinks. That jam they add is phenomenal. The Madame's French 75 was pretty decent.

GREAT cocktails, chill vibe and good small plates that come from Saxon & Parole.
The Spark GroupJune 6, 2011
Have fun with the drinks here. Have yourself a 'Madam's Preserves and James,' served with gin or vodka over ice. Our personal favorite: the blueberry and rosemary.
Katie BrownAugust 8, 2014
Jam beverage with gin (not on the menu) if you're having a casual (1-2) cocktail evening.
D SicMarch 17, 2016
Negroni on tap or the salt & pepper cocktail (or any cocktail really!)
Russell HirschornDecember 26, 2015
Excellent Gin bar. My favorite is always the Jam drink.

DJ on Friday and Saturday nights will rock your world if you're a youth of the 90s

We love the tart and refreshing Rangpur gimlet, made with Tanqueray Rangpur gin mixed with homemade lime cordial ($12). Our pick for Best Gin Bar! Read more

Gin and jam will blow your mind (especially the strawberry jalapeño jam)

Winner of Best Gin Bar in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The gin is housemade - try with orangeblossom!

The seasonal or regular negroni on the rocks will make you a gin believer.
Michael StratfordAugust 10, 2010
enter through secret door. order the g&t (with Plymouth gin). enjoy your drink between the faux elevator gates and dark alcove. Thanks Madam Geneva!
Amanda TerryMay 16, 2011
This bar has great mixologists and vibe if you go when not crowded, adjacent Double Crown has great food as well. (via Scoville) Read more

The Green Angel cocktail, with pistachio milk, might seem like a way to end the night. I say: great way to start it. Delicious, and potent!

You should totally get the steamed duck buns. They're delicious.

Try a cocktail with one of their 40(?) different gins
@JaumePrimeroNovember 26, 2011
for gin lovers, can't imagine a better place to go for a cocktail in NYC if you are a gin aficionado.
Amber RaeJanuary 28, 2010
get the apple cinnamon jam drink with gin (nit vodka). it's the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. (also tried the red wine pear... no me gusta.)
Christine ArboledaFebruary 8, 2015
Fridays and Saturdays with DJ Devon are the best! 90s!
Clinton SamuelSeptember 23, 2011

Gin bar, really cool retro 90's playlist
Kinjil MathurMay 1, 2015
if you ask nicely, you can order off the restaurant food menu.
Ryan AmbsJune 27, 2015
You can sit behind the bar here if you want to make it super awkward for everyone else
