    Incredible/ cool-as-heck menu of drinks graphed by flavor/personality + wicked selection of Chartreuse featuring cocktails.

    Fancy cocktails and a charming atmosphere. Good for dates or a relaxed night out with friends.

    Love their menu! All drinks are graphed on two axes: adventurousness v. comforting and spirit-filled v. refreshing.

    Low-key speakeasy without obnoxiously long lines, friendly bouncer, excellent drinks. Good for Sunday nights

    The drink menu allows customers to know whether drinks are familiar or adventurous or whether they’re refreshing or spiritous.

    Snack menu is limited- the cheese and meats are served with wheat thins. I enjoyed the hot mess.

    Always a very friendly, chill vibe. It's likely because the staff are great and the cocktails excellent.

    Get the Eye to Eye. Eagle Rare bourbon, lemon, macadamia falernum, strawberry & angostura bitters. Sooo good.

    A cocktail-lover's cocktail bar, its inventive drinks ranked by how spirit-forward and how experimental they are.

    A lovely night out should be really quite simple. No secret passwords, no hidden doors, just really complex drinks and freinds Mai Tai is absolutely delicious.

    Amazing cocktails!! Best manhattan and old fashioned. Sazarac was even better than in New Orleans.

    Unique tall glass ice cubes and friendly bartenders, but this place isn't intimate enough for a first date. Better for drinks with a friend.

    Far more seating than most other notable East Village cocktail bars, such as Angel Share and Death & Co.

    Friendly staff, classy atmosphere and a limited enough cocktail menu that the weight of the world isn't on your shoulders when you order

    Where inventive mixology is paired with intelligent, kind bartenders. The best cocktail in New York.

    One of the bartenders made a heavenly mezcal Sazerac (off the menu). Only worth going if you have a bar seat.

    Low key laid back atmosphere - the drinks are not stellar but the staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Exile on Main Street and The General Lee are both boozy knockouts. The maple bacon brittle isn't half bad either.

    Vendetta Road first and then follow it with the Moscow Mule. Great place with a great crew.

    Outstanding drinks, mid-level atmosphere, BS door policy (bouncer & queue when empty inside). Get the Ragin Glory.

    Lots of chartreuse cocktails on the menu. It's pretty spacious for an East Village bar.

    Very good cocktails, very blah small food menu. The space is large but not cozy. Better for a group than a date.

    Drink everything but definitely choose something on the adventurous scale especially when it doesn't sound adventurous.

    Playlist could use an update (Uncle Kracker? Really???), but drinks are delicious and ambiance is hard to beat.

    Superior cocktails. Inferior decor. The bare walls are institutional looking, dim the lights and hang some pictures.

    These guys know their chartreuse. Green or yellow, just a sip or a full flight - try them all!

    the haberdasher is suprisingly strong, be prepared for something that is almost chocolately but still very good.
