Glamazon DiariesMay 29, 2010Make sure to ask for La Caravelle Champagne. The rose is to die for. Stay for the fire show on the onyx bar. Great cocktails.
Julius TarngNovember 25, 2014Drinks are okay and more floral/scented than I usually dig - the whole vibes trying a bit too hard.
BettyJuly 22, 2012Dress up for a weekend visit. But for a low-key night, come between 7:30-9 on a weekday.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 26, 2011farm to bar, all drinks made with organic and local ingredients! Yes, I'm impressed.

R*January 4, 2013The best cocktails in NYC!!! Let the doorman "James" know you're Italian to skip the queue.
Try the Bees Knees - Vodka, bee pollen, goji berry reduction, pink guava, Ginger, lime, agave nectar
Monday night jazz with Chinatown All Stars is the best reason to hang out here on Monday nights.
How To Make It In AmericaFebruary 5, 2010Insane cocktails at mad Austrian scientist's lair in Chinatown. Ridiculous showmanship, jaw-dropping presentation. Look for the crowd begging entry under the "Gold Flower Restaurant" sign. [BlackBook] Read more

The Vanilla Sidecar is a nice surprise on a friday night, very smooth, sweet and packs a punch.
ginnnnnnny 🦀February 28, 2018Too loud and crowded for my taste, but I love how the whole thing is hidden in the seam in Chinatown...
Try to hit weeknights! Best music acts take you back in time
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011Killer cocktails and a great place for grown ups. I loved the location and the ambiance.
Jack EtheringtonSeptember 8, 2017Tasteful design, live music adds to vibe. Drinks were mediocre, flavours didn't match and textures didn't blend. Wouldn't go back in a hurry unless in the area.
