Kevin ColacoJanuary 16, 2017I have an unhealthy love of cocktails and so i really was looking forward to my trip here. Extrly disappointed the bartender was way to busy and couldnt care less about customers
Rebecca MazzaAugust 11, 2017Great atmosphere and good cocktails. Some cocktails aren't as good as others. I loved the 10 Gallon Hat.
simon sOctober 25, 2014One of the best cocktails I've had in NY. Didn't catch his name, but the bearded bartender was great
James OrtonApril 22, 2013Don't be put off by the door policy, the best things in life need to be worked for. Go chill out at the Rye bar down the road and wait for your time here!
CompassApril 25, 2014Get to this speakeasy-like bar by pressing a buzzer and waiting for the discerning host to guide you through the windowless space.
MarkJuly 11, 2018Great cocktails, as expected. Nice space. The speakeasy aspects are tired and overdone IMO.
Maayan SheinfeldFebruary 24, 2017Hidden, beautiful cocktail bar. The Now Is Here/Here Is Now was my favorite drink.
Tucker WJanuary 10, 2012I can recommend the Paper Plane for a bourbon lover and the Self Starter for a gin lover. They make wonderful cocktails here!
Justin OrdovezaNovember 15, 2014Down a narrow stairwell is a quaint bar. There are comfy leather seats and the cocktails here are well crafted.
Afiya HostenAugust 23, 2013Amazing. Smells great. Wonderful decor. Good drinks. Guy at the door was super nice. Not pretentious or douche-y
Arin RayJune 26, 2015The Adonis cocktail was great. Definitely a chill vibe and good for conversations
Irina ShevchukOctober 30, 2013The place is awesome. My favorite bar in NYC , cocktails are delicious. Love it !!!
KellyOctober 22, 2014Odd place - tight drinks, comfy and cozy seating...but the hostess is kind of creepy, and they have NO food besides cheese and olives. Go, but only after dinner.
Maxwell ZSeptember 29, 2014Ask for a 'Hatian Divorce' – it used to be on the menu at now-closed The Beagle. You can't get this drink anywhere else!
Tom JosephApril 30, 2015Intimate little 1920s-style speakeasy, but feels a little tired compared to the larger and more elaborately decorated Dear Irving
Lauren HilaryJuly 21, 2013speakeasy bar with bell service and plush couches. go early (10pm) and put your name on the list!
Nick RinaldiSeptember 24, 2011Another fantastic cocktail bar, the staff here is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Try their seasonal cocktails for a unique experience.
Kokchain ChuSeptember 27, 2017Just like everything in this city, the place has shat the bed. Half the space is sectioned off for larger parties or being awkward with your facing neighbor. Hipster Kokchain says the cash grab sucks
Frederic GilbertJune 29, 2015For a spicy and surprising twist, try the Kentucky Buck Fifty... Or let Adam choose for you
Johnny WonMay 11, 2015Always go early, always eat before hand and always get multiple, multiple cocktails.
If you're in the mood for a citrus and sweet bourbon drink, try the Fort Knox. Vermont maple syrup is the secret ingredient.
Jessica M.March 30, 2015Amazing cocktails. Leave your number at the door, don't ask how long. They'll call when they're ready.
Harish HoonJanuary 29, 2015Just the experience is worth the visit, the cocktails are just icing on the cake.
- AlexJune 13, 2012The De La Louisiane is a sazerac incognito. Great place to enjoy an Old Fashioned with close conversations.
Ana PavJanuary 8, 2015Ask the bartender to get creative with your drink based on a couple criteria. Will not disappoint !
Lisa ParavanoSeptember 26, 2013always great cocktails.. consistent with the always crappy attitudes from the doorman, to the bartender to the waitress.
Alida RoseJanuary 17, 2014Perfect for a small group. Really swanky, but quiet enough for conversation.
Charles-Axel PauwelsMay 8, 2011The Airmail is not on the menu anymore but if you ask for it they'll gladly make it. Rhum + Lemon + Honey + Champagne. Really good!
Highly recommend the Kentucky Buck Fifty if you prefer sweet, strong and spicy. AMAZING.
Omar HarounMarch 22, 2012
Nina CebenkoDecember 19, 2012Standard speakeasy parlour decor... Would have had a more sexy vibe if not for the homely couple engaging in amateur PDA directly in front of us the whole time.
Deepak ShrivastavaMay 16, 2013Best speak easy I've ever been to....crisp drinks and amazing atmosphere.
Mikayla LynchSeptember 9, 2011The Grapefruit Collins is my summer drink of choice. The staff is also very helpful and super accommodating. 4 stars.
Rachel SmithMarch 11, 2016Have the bartender make a specialty cocktail for you based on your taste preferences
