One of the best cocktail bars in the world.

You know you're ordering a fancy cocktail when they spray the edge of your glass with micro-molecules of exotic bitters.
James JOctober 5, 2014
It's a cool place but stick to Crif Dogs
Mariana RodriguezJanuary 13, 2010
Order a hummer with your drink. Best drink? Just tell them what you're in the mood for! They never disappoint.

Bring your out-of-town visitors here. Now I know everyone in NY has been here & done this, but man, nothing puts the awe in your cousin's face like going through a phone booth

Make your reservation starting at 3pm the same day - remember, patience is virtue! And I recommend their Pimm's Cup! Read more

Listen to the tiki gods. Go for the Cobra Fang.
Alexandra ChiaraApril 6, 2013
Overly hype and not worth it. Once you've passed the whole whoopla of the reservation and phone booth thing: you get the chance to drink a frankly disgusting overpriced cocktail. Indeed, I won't tell
