DoubleDeuceApril 22, 2015Just like all of the other cocktail bars in the City (quality & price) but this one has a cheerful & respectful hostess who helped me and my guest get good seating. Highly impressed. Up & Up, indeed.
Caroline SchulweisMarch 11, 2015Amazing option in the area if you're into the speakeasy/innovative cocktail scene. Sometimes there's nothing like a Manhattan though (very good here).
Noah WeissMarch 20, 2015Boozy creative cocktails with a strong bourbon and scotch leaning menu. A welcome reprieve from the madness of Macdougal street. The Nampara Cove was an old fashioned riff with pisco and scotch mist.
Ray LopesDecember 18, 2018Extensive cocktail menu, amazing speakeasy environment. Me and my wife together had 5 different drinks, lost track of each ones but were delighted by them all. We did have an amazing time!
Mayank MahajanJuly 15, 2018Excellent cocktails in a very cozy atomsphere. Really unique flavors and decently strong. It was surprisingly empty on a Friday night, and all the drinks were a flat $16. I'd definitely come back.
Karla AFebruary 21, 2015Shaddock smoke cocktail- if you like strong smokiness in your drink. Taste of Chez Juan- refreshing with a hint of ginger. Screendoor slam- bourbon & honey, cant go wrong.Foster Ave-tastes like melon!
Lindsay FranzoniDecember 22, 2015Had a great Manhattan here and tried some of the other cocktails. Great service and really enjoyed not being in a crowded bar where I could talk to someone and enjoy the music playing.
Adrienne ReinaJanuary 30, 2016Jacob is the best server ever! He was so welcoming and recommended the perfect cocktails for me and my friends. Can't wait to come back!
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 14, 2015The Up and Up has these dope things called 'Halfies'. It's a half-sized cocktail. This is the move for when your friend with the weird stomach issues forces you to get a drink instead of dinner. Read more
Angela DeAngelisOctober 2, 2015The cocktails are beautiful & delicious…The service is fantastic (feel free to let your friendly bartender guide you)…And well, chicken liver mousse…Everything you wouldn't expect from the location!
Jennifer YipFebruary 23, 2016The drinks are amazing. Ask the bartender if you're on the fence. The drink with habanero in it is probably my all-time favorite; it's got a great, smooth kick (whatever that means)
André AraújoJuly 12, 2016Just like all of the other cocktail bars in the City (quality & price) but this one has a cheerful & respectful hostess who helped me and my guest get good seating. Highly impressed. Up & Up, indeed.
CarleenAugust 23, 2019Come with friends and people watch- everyone else here is on a date. Order Zuzu's Petals and ask for it extra spicy (tequila or mezcal with ginger, lime, habanero pepper, rose water).- Margarita KrupSeptember 21, 2015Good cocktail place in the Village. Our Manhattans were great. A little bit of a different vibe then other cocktail bars due to location.
- The Screen Door Slam cocktail is pretty legit! Maker's Mark Bourbon, aperol, honey, vanilla bean, and absinthe. Sweet, delicious, and super easy to drink.
Amazing gem tucked away with perfect cocktails for all. Enjoyed everything they made. And highly personable staff.
Paola MckeeOctober 18, 2017Stopped here for a drink before comedy cellar and it was such a great experience! Wonderful escape from the busy street.
The screen door slam is a great introductory bourbon drink with a good dose of sweetness, but still strong enough for an old-fashioned fan to enjoy.
Great new cocktail option in the west village. Super friendly staff and interesting menu. Also, you can get halvsies!
Andie SleemanDecember 14, 2016I love this bar (probably my favorite in area). The cocktails are perfectly made. Bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly & happy to guide you to the best cocktail for your palate. Go here!!- Nate BeattyDecember 30, 2015If you are going to pay $$$ for a cocktail, it better be good. That's why you should go to Up & Up. Drinks are really damn good.
Rose SteinbergApril 22, 2016Fantastic spot for a classy, delicious, bespoke cocktail. I had my birthday drinks here and it was perfect!
Adrian PhillipsApril 11, 2017Very big fan of the cocktails and wallpaper at this fine establishment. The drinks are solid and very healthy pours. Menu is very clear, either drinks are served up, on the rocks or tall.
A great new little speakeasy with a great environment, good bartenders and really interesting cocktails. Even has guest list cocktails from other bars.
Gary TorielloAugust 6, 2016The Scotch Teague Old Flaskoned - Great King St. Glasgow Blend Scotch, Angostura Bitters, and Demerara Sugar, served in a flask bottle
ShahJuly 3, 2017This hidden gem is great if you're looking for something a little different (and often with a kick to it).
WayofmoufApril 8, 2017Great ambiance and cocktails. Staff is friendly and knows their booze. No beet infused vodka here tho
Polina WeitzSeptember 7, 2019Superb cocktails in a quiet, dimly-lit, classy speakeasy. Wait times on weekends can be over an hour, so prepare to wait.
Alexandria LangFebruary 17, 2018Really cool speakeasy! The cocktails are great. Sometimes a wait to get in though
Gianna SantelliAugust 2, 2015Perfect for a date or a friend catchup the music isn't too loud and the service is attentive but not pushy. Great cocktail names.
Andrea GoodOctober 30, 2015Katie and Jimbo are great and the Never Spring is the best cocktail I have had in awhile! (And I drink everyday...)
Amanda RellaJuly 9, 2017Nice underground cocktail bar with great drinks. Ask for "Gap Theory" - it used to be on their menu and is great.
Michael MosesMarch 15, 2016It's a good cocktail bar, especially for the area, but there is a sense of off-putting pretense that doesn't match MacDougal. Bar would be better positioned an avenue further west.
Ryan GallagherAugust 26, 2017Nice underground speakeasy. Good cocktails. If the place is crowded cocktails can take a while to be served.
Kate FurmanJune 19, 2017Tucked away downstairs in WV, great place for a cocktail, cozy atmosphere, good for dates.
Corbin BlankensteinJanuary 21, 2018Creative menu, friendly/ attentive staff, and space to enjoy your company. Ask about the unicorn
julia tApril 13, 2015Cute with giant ice cubes and clever drinks. Great for after dinner with friends or a date.
Interesting underground bar with an ironic name. Cocktail selections can be a hit or miss
Matt OpsahlMarch 25, 2018Waited maybe 40mins based on 20 mins from list at 11pm. Worth wait and delicious cocktails. Underground!
S.J.March 3, 2017Good atmosphere to have a drink and some conversation. Not good for groups of 3 or larger. Cocktails are $15 each. Drink selection was unique.
