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).
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).
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.
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.- 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!
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.
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.
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 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).
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
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
Sami KiJanuary 20, 2014Super discrete & hidden place. Steam punk style decor. Whimsical. Good food and drinks. Recommend the lobster poached eggs and salmon tartar.
Alice KangDecember 2, 2014Excellent cocktails. For a teeny tiny kitchen smaller than my cutting board, it put out great appetizers and snacks!
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
Duke PerkinsMarch 30, 2015Amazeballs little spot. Great spot to pop in with a date. All sorts of of lil nick nacks about....
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).
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.
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
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.
Justin BretonAugust 5, 2014I would come here just for the burrata. It's that good. The cocktails are great, too.
- 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
Raelinn DotyDecember 17, 2013Love this place. Low key. Tiny. Good drinks, good food, incredible atmosphere and great people. Much big love.
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.
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).
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.
Ryan LandrySeptember 12, 2014Tiny little hole in the Tribeca wall, with flashbulbs dancing outside with someone mega-famous walking by. Good manhattan, too.- Josh MateoNovember 8, 2014Super cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Cocktails are great and seasonal. Hole in the wall vibes.literally.
Anna SantiagoJuly 13, 2016Cute that they cook everything on a small stove behind the bar. Good for lunch in the summer
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.
Andrew McKenzieOctober 13, 2014Plow through their delicious cocktails so you have an excuse to visit the bathroom.
Laura ChinMay 11, 2013Cocktails, sure, but don't sleep on the food. Cooked behind the bar on hot plates, but still pretty incredible,- Stephanie PatafioAugust 27, 2013Great little spot and believe the hype about the Dark and Stormy. It was delicious. Super gingery.
Soft cheddar scramble, burger, poached chicken club, coffee, cocktails
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!- DoubleDeuceApril 4, 2015Very small so hit it up off-peak to get the charm from it. Saturday afternoon is my favorite time.
- Maria RiabtchenkoJune 6, 2015Burgurrrrrrrrr and fries 💪🏽 but if you're not down, meat balls or mussels are outta the world too
This is my bar. I love it soo much, the staff, the food, and the drinks. It's in my top 10. Great place to bring friends or family who visit NY.
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.
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011Whether you're on a first date or celebrating your anniversary, this cocktail bar is perfect for an intimate, romantic evening.- Derek FlanzraichJuly 25, 2015Good Dark 'n Stormy (must love ginger), great antique-looking bathroom.
- 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.
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
