- EaterApril 16, 2013A bar that marries sexy to vintage typewriters in the Hearst Building with a stage for live music. The serious cocktails are also available with a noticeable lean towards mod era classics.Upvote69Downvote
- Low lit and often has live jazz music. The Eva Gardner was light and refreshing followed by the Pisco Sour inspired Rosemary Clooney. Finish with the dark spirited Local Edition.Upvote13Downvote
- Connie ChiuJune 20, 2018Great cocktails! I really liked the romper and all the various drinks my friends got. Huge space but a little loud for convos with the music. Live music is awesome. Make rsvps beforehand.Upvote1Downvote
- J CrowleySeptember 16, 2016The Rosemary Clooney is one of my all time favorite cocktails. Dangerously delicious and surprisingly strong. I don't recommend a fourth. 😴Upvote1Downvote
- Grace YoonJune 26, 2016Great choice of cocktails. I tried Lieutenant Gov'nr, which was whiskey-based yet citrusy (w/ perf touch of cinnamon) and Sir John Watts. Great seating/standing area. Highly recommendUpvoteDownvote
