Make sure to ask for La Caravelle Champagne. The rose is to die for. Stay for the fire show on the onyx bar. Great cocktails.

The red line cocktail is really good - spicy, savoury and complex

The cocktails are creative and good, but quite expensive at $18 each.

Dress up for a weekend visit. But for a low-key night, come between 7:30-9 on a weekday.

Insane 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

Great drinks. Can be a bit overcrowded.
Jack EtheringtonSeptember 8, 2017
Tasteful 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.
Dessy RabuseJuly 27, 2010
good specialty drinks! Music was decent. They started spinning 80's late night. Which is always fun. Small and cramped though. Welcome to NY!
