Come for the happy hour, stay for the burlesque. Lovely, chill and usually nice and empty during the week. Perfect date bar. Gets a little bridge and tunnel on the weekend.
Nate BeattySeptember 6, 2015Good music and a great happy hour. The ideal stop for a second round of $4 draft beers and well drinks (until 10p some nights)!
Amanda CMay 5, 2012Bartender(s) are always super sweet and free pizza during happy hour on Wednesdays (or sometime midweek) Either way a must drink joint in LES
Alexis BendjouiaMarch 29, 2015Great burlesque Wednesday and Thursday. Get the Pimms cup and hang. Fun spot.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertMay 10, 2017The one Burlesque place in the city where I have yet to see the actual show. Although that's a stretch, I actually haven't seen that many. This place is tiny but cute. Good vibes only.
Daniela CuevasJanuary 29, 2016performers have a great attitude. show them some love! the more you engage, the more the performers will, and the better the show.
- Nate FolkertJune 26, 2022The Mistress: high proof bourbon with marshmallow root, vanilla, brown sugar, and notes of dark rum, over ice
- DoubleDeuceFebruary 22, 2019This is a charmingly small and lively spot for a drink. Fun decor and often they serve a drink or cocktail of the night for half price.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertMay 10, 2017Cozy atmosphere and expensive beverages. Sometimes there's also Burlesque apparently and supposedly very good quality shows from what I hear.
Rachel IvyDecember 13, 2015Burlesque show is great and the host is hysterical (and an amazing singer!) Place is tiny tiny tiny and super cramped though..
Steff HindSeptember 27, 2014The cocktails actually tasted good and weren't over powered by the alcohol, good music and not too crowded- Diana ShankarAugust 6, 2016Drinks are strong and delicious. Lovely pin-up decor, amazing happy hour specials and really good music
HenaliOctober 27, 2015Cute, cozy, intimate vibes. Delicious martinis and not too crowded on weekend nites if ur nearby def try it!
Elizabeth BursteinNovember 16, 2019Fun cozy vibe. Enjoyed the mezcal drink while danielle had the tequila drink at bottom of menu- Connor LevensSeptember 23, 2017A true LES treat. Highly recommend any bartender's recommendation. A staple in the neighborhood.
Martin MostrømOctober 13, 2017Cosy and nice place. When the burlesque is on the place turns crazy and is totally packed. But worth a visit
Chris PolloneMarch 25, 2018Cute little bar. Came here with an acquaintance on what happened to be burlesque night, so just be aware of that. Lol.
Amruta BugeJuly 31, 2015Ask if they have any specials. The bartender made a really delicious vodka special for my friend and I for super cheap!
Andre PlautSeptember 22, 2017Super nice bartenders, great music, amazing happy hour. This place rocks.
theluvelyraeNovember 15, 2011It's a tight knit space, but when surrounded by burlesque cuties Honi Harlow (Wednesdays) and Calamity Chang (Thursdays), you don't mind the lack of space. The drinks are good as well.
Ahsap VoliamzeeDecember 27, 2011Very special place for certain kind of people(local hipsters and artistic personalities).Get into the mood and just chill
Aimee AballoMarch 24, 2010Moses makes the most AMAZING custom cocktails for his customers.Just tell him what you like and he will make your SIGNATURE cocktail!Mondays and Tuesdays, all night. Free pizza from 6-8pm
- One of the best LES bars for music both live and just over the system. Joe Z the bartender makes it vibe.
Though the bartenders hate making 'em, the cocktails on their house list are yummy. My fave: ginger margarita
Amalia HohbergerMay 3, 2012Amazing find. $4 for one drink, second one for free with check in. And burlesque on Wednesday nights
eevil midgetSeptember 18, 2012If you're lucky and particularly of awesome ilk, you might meet some assassins here.
If you can do a hand stand, apparently you can score a free Guinness. Not certain this is bar policy. Results may vary, bitches.
Malik DhananiMay 1, 2016Extremely rude waitress and owner. We came in for a birthday party and were shouted at by the waitress who was just starting her shift just for being in the way (in a crowded bar).
Felipe BarrientosSeptember 28, 2013Make sure to close your tab before you leave. If not you'll have to get your credit card the next day.
Brian SearlOctober 17, 2010Small little local bar that is mostly frequented by locals. Large doors open to the street and the atmosphere is great.
Melissa SepeSeptember 5, 2011Amazing bartender who favors elderflower liquer and makes a mean French 75!
