Date Night Is...April 30, 2013This cozy hole in the wall is one of the best Date Night spots in the area – arguably in the city. But get there early or at an off time or it can get utterly packed.
Adrian PhillipsJuly 11, 2017Cozy little hole in the wall that doesn't take reservations. Cocktails are excellent (the Dark & Stormy has fresh ginger in it), mussels were definitely a highlight. Came on a weeknight, not too busy
Parker ChambersJuly 13, 2017Come for the ambience and wine. Stay for the cute ginger waiter. Return for the retro bathroom. Return again for the cute ginger waiter (obviously).
NicoleApril 3, 2016Even if the kitchen's closed you can get some potato chips with Russian dressing. Michael the bartender will make you a drink if you tell him what you like. Cozy place. Crowd older than expected.
Travel + LeisureApril 11, 2013Restaurateur Matt Abramcyk’s cubbyhole hideout in a former seafarer’s inn serves retro cocktails and comfort food (meatballs; house-pickled vegetables).
Adam McCueJuly 3, 2015Dark and Stormy is one of the best cocktails in the city -- just watch out for the ginger. It's got a bite.
Yes, the best dark'n'stormy around. In summer, grab a table outside and order your food as soon as you sit down, since it takes a while (one bunsen burner). Be sure to use the bathroom, it's swag.
Monica CullenDecember 8, 2014Max occupancy is 35...snagging a seat can be hard, and you have to order food if you sit at a table. Cool ambiance though with classic cocktails and some fun twists!
The place is tiny and croweded but the perfect location for a snowy NYC night. Try the dark and stormy and enjoy the delicious good that the chef cranks out on induction burners at the bar! Read more- Another one of my neighborhood favorites. Cozy and warm atmosphere, top notch cocktails. Have yet to try the food but they have a full menu!
Nick GrayJune 28, 2015Swordfish was great. Lamb meatballs seemed dry and sorta burnt. Bathroom is awesome. I have never seen a sink like that (fold it down, then back up to drain).
Zachary MartzJanuary 6, 2017Great atmosphere in a intimate setting. Tasty cocktails and burger. A nice spot for a date or late lunch on the weekend.
Kale bruschetta, chicken liver mousse, OYSTERS, and pretty much everything on the brunch menu. Also, very enjoyable tropical pimm's cup. Intimate environment.
jon nguyenMay 1, 2013Try the Avocado Bruschetta - this was super good and spicy as cat shit...makes sense after looking at the pic, they only smothered the avocado with chili flakes
Bond StreetOctober 3, 2016"Bauhaus meets constructivist. Reclaimed wood, soft lighting, moody feel. We go for the bespoke classics like the Vesper." - Markus Glocker and John Winterman, chef and managing partner - Bâtard Read more- jon nguyenMay 1, 2013Try the House Pickled Vegetables - this was my favorite of the night just bc i have a pickling fetish and care of nothing else when a good pickle is in front of me
Ayesha AhmadAugust 7, 2014If you can find it... do go. It's everything that's in season, simple but SO good. Great ambiance. Not great for large groups (it's tiny).
Sunny BakMay 28, 2013I love this place but tonight I was not impressed by the oysters and the condiments... Love the atmosphere anyway and I will be back soon.
Jennifer KMay 14, 2011Hidden treasure. Order the Moscow Mule..the best I've had on both coasts. Order the Ricotta - it's fantastic! I have to say, love it at Colonie but it's even better here.
Sami KiJanuary 20, 2014Super discrete & hidden place. Steam punk style decor. Whimsical. Good food and drinks. Recommend the lobster poached eggs and salmon tartar.
Justin BretonAugust 5, 2014I would come here just for the burrata. It's that good. The cocktails are great, too.
The TelegraphJuly 3, 2012A rustic-chic gem of cocktail bar not much larger than a jewel box. Order a Negroni, and don’t be surprised if Robert DeNiro or Bradley Cooper wander in off for a night cap (001 212 226 2515).
Alice KangDecember 2, 2014Excellent cocktails. For a teeny tiny kitchen smaller than my cutting board, it put out great appetizers and snacks!
Raelinn DotyDecember 17, 2013Love this place. Low key. Tiny. Good drinks, good food, incredible atmosphere and great people. Much big love.
Duke PerkinsMarch 30, 2015Amazeballs little spot. Great spot to pop in with a date. All sorts of of lil nick nacks about....
Kmart FashionDecember 2, 2011A cute and cozy restaurant bar hidden in Tribeca. Wonderful small plates and cocktails. Our tip: Check out the beautifully designed 40’s era bathroom.
Ryan LandrySeptember 12, 2014Tiny little hole in the Tribeca wall, with flashbulbs dancing outside with someone mega-famous walking by. Good manhattan, too.
4 things to know: 1) order a Dark & Stormy 2) look around, conduits and other underground pieces are part of the charm 3) bathroom is an old elevator 4) go early or late. Peak times = bad experience
HOBNOB MagazineJuly 1, 2012It's amazing that this place serves food, the smallest kitchen I've ever seen (corner of the bar). Great spot for late-night drink and bites.
- Josh MateoNovember 8, 2014Super cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Cocktails are great and seasonal. Hole in the wall vibes.literally.
Matthew CaldecuttOctober 16, 2015This place has a small cocktail list, but the drinks are strong and it's surprisingly laid back for Tribeca.
Men's Health MagNovember 10, 2011It used to be a horse stable, and the bathroom is an old elevator. Ship plans hang on the walls. The vintage cocktails are strong. Order a Negroni, like a fisherman would do after a big day's catch.- DoubleDeuceApril 4, 2015Very small so hit it up off-peak to get the charm from it. Saturday afternoon is my favorite time.
Anna SantiagoJuly 13, 2016Cute that they cook everything on a small stove behind the bar. Good for lunch in the summer- Stephanie PatafioAugust 27, 2013Great little spot and believe the hype about the Dark and Stormy. It was delicious. Super gingery.
- Maria RiabtchenkoJune 6, 2015Burgurrrrrrrrr and fries 💪🏽 but if you're not down, meat balls or mussels are outta the world too
Gabriela SussmanDecember 5, 2013Stumbled in here by accident, ate some decent food, had some fancy cocktails. Tiny, dim lighting, and has a bathroom sink that requires flushing.
Anthony VolodkinJune 29, 2013Sit on the single chair to the right of the bar and feel AC on a hot day like you've never felt it before!
Laura ChinMay 11, 2013Cocktails, sure, but don't sleep on the food. Cooked behind the bar on hot plates, but still pretty incredible,- Travel + LeisureAugust 24, 2012Check out the bathroom, made out of a turn-of-the-century elevator with a flip-down sink from a Depression-era railway car.
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011Whether you're on a first date or celebrating your anniversary, this cocktail bar is perfect for an intimate, romantic evening.
Adrien LJune 10, 2015If you're looking for a culinary adventure, look elsewhere. The entrees are bare: expect mains without sides. That being said, great ambiance and decor. Drinks > dinner
Soft cheddar scramble, burger, poached chicken club, coffee, cocktails- Derek FlanzraichJuly 25, 2015Good Dark 'n Stormy (must love ginger), great antique-looking bathroom.
Smith & Mills is one of my favorite places in the city. Better to go earlier in the evening (or on a weekend or on an off-night). Otherwise, the tiny spot is packed+loses charm- jon nguyenMay 1, 2013Try the Kumomoto Oysters - maybe my top 3 kinda oysters...kumomotos are just awesome.com
- Maria RiabtchenkoJune 10, 2015Even if u had a burger for lunch, you won't regret this burger for dinner. 'Twas simply amazing.
