    What I love best about this place is you can go with a wine lover, cocktail geek or whisky & beer drinker and all will be satisfied. Can't go wrong w/cheese & meat plate. Sourced from Stinky!

    Great cocktails! The cheese fondue for two, with bread, salami, and apple was perfect. The atmosphere is perfect for any occasion; dress it up or down.

    Two cocktails will throw you for a loop. I saw some amazing meat and cheese plates go by, wish I ate some!

    Fall 2015 WSJ article - "Shaolin Land, a complex drink that combines baijiu with other exotic spirits, including an Italian myrtle berry liqueur, as part of a fall menu revamp."

    Their namesake cocktail tastes weirdly like pizza? All other cocktails spot on--one seasonal drink featuring tequila, black strap rum, and cinnamon is AMAZING, don't sleep on it.

    The local cheesemonger and wine bar owner teamed up to open the Prohibition-themed spot, beloved for share-friendly fondue and bartenders’ choice cocktails that rarely disappoint.

    Brian, the bartender who works on Thursdays (as far as I know), is awesome and makes delicious drinks. He also helps me pick what food to order. Tip him well!

    Best place to get an old-fashioned cocktail, or just an old-fashioned. Bartenders play amazing music too - like the Harlem Shakes (deep cut!)

    Bartender makes good bespoke cocktails. Just give him a theme and he'll make something good and interesting

    Thoroughly irritated. My liter of sparkling water came frozen and the asparagus salad has 8 one inch stems in it for $11. It's really a mesclun salad with some Pecorino. 3 strikes you're out? Try 2.

    Great spot to come for a drink or a glass of wine and unwind before strolling down Smith St in search of dinner.

    Though the menu is smaller, cocktails at JakeWalk are just about as good as the ones at Clover Club and better than Brooklyn Social

    The bartender is awesome! He let me sample and sample until I found the right drink for me. Oh, and they've got sorrel liquer! WTF!! :)))

    The fondue is awesome, but you will always always always need extra bread. Also, the spicy cucumber dish was amazing, as is the beet salad.

    Great selection of American microbrews and some amazing small plates to go with them. The roasted shishoto peppers are tough to beat.

    Order a Mostly Harmless. Not on the menu: tequila, agave, absinthe, cucumber. Incredibly incredibly refreshing.

    I ordered the cheese plate to go with my wine, because I think they go together like peanut butter and jelly -- but the real star of the show was the pickle plate. No one makes pickled beets this good

    Have a cocktail here and then go across the street to Kittery for some lobster. Be the date night king.

    Roasted shishoto peppers are amazing. Just don't knock your wine onto a Real Housewife of NYC....oops.

    If you can handle a little heat, order a plate of the roasted shishoto peppers w/ sea salt. So good.

    Try the fondue and ask one of the great bartenders (Eddie, Jeremy, Ari or Matt) for a wine or drink suggestion. They will never steer you wrong!
