Happy hour 2 for 1 with some dollar oysters, this speakeasy is definitely the best one in UWS. Get the Old Fashioned.

Best cocktail bar on the UWS by a wide margin. Members get first crack at seating so imbibing here usually involves a wait, but you can always relax at the downstairs bar with a draft Old Fashioned 🥃

Very good cocktails for the UWS. not sure they are totally worth the $16 price tag but for the only cocktail bar in the area, I would go for it. If you can't get in, Johnny downstairs is great!

Tucked away inside Burke & Wills restaurant, it's the perfect place for fancy cocktails before heading over to the 72st AMC for an IMAX 3D. The cricket themed decor is...interesting.

Came here by myself to chill, write, have a quick drink..ended up staying for three! Cory (or Cody??!) was fantastic behind the bar; made me 2 custom mezcal cocktails. Perfect. Baroque ambience. Come!

LOVE!!! My favorite UWS spot for cocktails. Get the Bonfire of the Calamities.

By far the best cocktails in UWS. Love their tequila based concoctions but you cannot go wrong here. Friendly staff!

Upscale cocktails in an over the top baroque style lounge. Bar Manager Greg Seider mixes up innovative culinary-inspired drinks with infusions, flavored mists & more. Great for impressing a date.

Dress appropriately, sit in the main room upstairs and enjoy a classic cocktail. This place is a gem on the UWS. It's how one should enjoy a cocktail with his/her best companions.

A deliciously sexy new addition to the UWS. Go into Burke & Wills and head toward the back. You'll see a padded black door on the right side. The expert drinks and sensual atmosphere await upstairs...
Maire GriffinOctober 22, 2013
Sure the drinks are pricey, but the atmosphere is worth it. There are two comfy armchairs way up by the bar near the French doors. Perfect spot for a date where you can talk.

Try the "cheese plate with dulce de leche". Great atmosphere, not loud and cozy! Best speakeasy in the UWS, definitely a must!

A gold-brocaded library with a black tufted-leather sofa perch therein. There will be Boulevardiers, seafood towers and a large cricket paddle. Which, maybe they’ll sell you for later.

Try the 12th Man. The bartender has very good inspirations. Today’s is a twist of a caipirinha with red pepper!!! Beautiful location also!

Amazing hidden upstairs speakeasy and amazing creative cocktail menu. Perhaps the best cocktail bar in the city ...

Loved being swept away from our dinner to this exclusive room upstairs for top notch cocktails. Just lovely.

Tucked inside the Aussie bar Burke & Wills this swanky cocktail lounge is a great spot for intimate conversation and night caps

Wonderful hideaway, classic space and a beautiful bar. Lovely cocktails, elegant martini service.

Cozy hidden s#bar with amazing cocktails! First time for everything cocktail was delish!
BrandonApril 10, 2015
Cool, low key vibe and a great drink list. Worth a wait for upstairs but the wait can be very long.
Ina LiSeptember 19, 2016
The only speakeasy spot in UWS. Delicious but expensive drinks, not paired up with the most friendly and polite service tho.
Ben RFebruary 2, 2014
It is a bit more expensive than I'd like, but the cocktails are perfectly made and the atmosphere is great. Not typical UWS.
Ulrike DoehlerOctober 26, 2013
Nice place, but they need to work on their cocktail list...no sazerac, no stingers... Classic speak easy, but missing some of the classic cocktails.. The "I'll have another" is very good though.
@JaumePrimeroJanuary 29, 2014
More options for cocktails on the UWS beyond pubs and dive bars is never a bad thing! Drink like a boss!
Kristina KaraivanovOctober 25, 2013
Get a cocktail off the menu. Cricket's version of French 75 is delicious. Great date spot.
Michael ShibaAugust 4, 2015
They make their martinis almost perfectly. Make sure to get one.
BenJanuary 21, 2015
Low key crowd, unusual/strong drinks. Flavorful syrups and eclectic collection of liquors.
The DoodleJanuary 11, 2019
A vintage vibe. It’s very cool
Melissa FordAugust 8, 2018
“The Best is Yet to Come” cocktail is delicious!
Ben MackeySeptember 21, 2015
Definitely get the martini.
Douglas ElliottNovember 2, 2013
If you want a classic cocktail, forget it! You end up with something from the bartenders acid trip.
rob zandMarch 6, 2015
so apparently there's some sort of dress code - unless it's freezing cold slushville outside. whatevs. cocktail menu is small, service is modestly paced.
Gabrielle ZigiOctober 12, 2013
Cool atmosphere but drinks absurdly expensive at $18. Stay downstairs & drink great cocktails for $12.
Sara YJanuary 17, 2016
Great fancy cocktails in a neighborhood where this doesn't really exist otherwise.
Kaushal ModiDecember 1, 2015
Great date spot and phenomenal drinks!
Sheila SmithMarch 7, 2015
Try the margarita. So good!

Very disappointed, they have their old fashion in draft prepared, not anymore good place for old fashion
Andrew CohenNovember 2, 2013
A huge disappointment for an establishment that could have been great. Overpriced and under mixed cocktails that are way too sweet and off balance. Couldn't make any classics requested.
