Teo GeorgoulisFebruary 3, 2018Jazzy and funky sounds in a cult atmosphere that you never expect to find in a touristic location
Danielle JohnsonJune 14, 2015Stumbled on this great bar! Jazz jam session, tasty cocktails - what else could you want?!
Matt MitgangNovember 23, 2019A surprisingly good bar for times square. Good for drinks before a show.
Elvis RodricksNovember 13, 2016Came here on a Saturday night - place was packed and the band dished out some great latin vibes. Mojito was just ok. For a quick serve, get your drink from the left of the bar and not the right.
Don FJune 24, 2017If you like rum drinks this is the place. I love rum and tonics. They have every rum I know. Usually it's Bacardi and captain Morgan. I have to come back for the live jazz. Bartenders the real deal.
Just tell the bartenders your choice of liquor @ they will make an amazing drink every time ... They rock X
Mary FredaJuly 16, 2011The drinks are wonderfully strong! The bartenders are lots of fun too. I'll definitely come back the next time I'm in NY.
sablerMay 20, 2015It's called "The Rum House," but you can't go wrong with the Elijah Craig Manhattan.
Marieka JacksonDecember 2, 2011Pisco sour w ginger and mint. But really, tell the bartender the oddest of mixes to your mood and they'll make something good
Adrienne SJuly 10, 2012My favorite is the George Cohan, with bourbon, Cocchi Americano, lemon and an egg white.
Matthew BushSeptember 2, 2012Mike and Eric are masters of their craft. Do yourself a favor and order a nice crafted cocktail.
Liam BrownMarch 10, 2013This place is a classic hideaway. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and cool people
This bar is great. The cocktails are worth ever penny. I love the old nyc experience.
Khürt WilliamsDecember 7, 2015Bartender knows his shit. Asked for a 'Ti Punch -- it's not in the drink menu -- and he nailed it.
Damon, one of the very best bartenders in the city, can be found behind the stick here most nights.
Scott MontyFebruary 19, 2013Great to find a place that knows what a Gin Buck is - and makes a good one!
Kathryn DSeptember 24, 2016Crowded with mix of tourists and post-work drinks. Reasonable at happy hour, otherwise skip.- Bernardo NevesFebruary 16The red-haired waitress was very inelegant with us. She give us the worst table even an empty bar.At the time of paying we were coerced into paying a tip saying that it was the rule of the house
Prescott Perez-FoxDecember 14, 2012Come hear Joaquin and Ethan play live music every second Thursday of the month 9-12:30.
John Saeyong RaJuly 10, 2011Properly made old fashioned is always reliable here, along with a handful of well crafted cocktails.- John Saeyong RaMarch 5, 2011If you just want to chill and have a few good drinks: ge there before 10pm when all the theater crowds show up.
Diego OrtizSeptember 26, 2016If you are looking for a really good time, don't go in here... Keep looking
Gary J. NixJanuary 21, 2011It has reopened under a brand new guise, yet the same name. More rum, more whiskey, and new piano player!
