good specialty drinks! Music was decent. They started spinning 80's late night. Which is always fun. Small and cramped though. Welcome to NY!

Delicious, but not exempt from getting a little 'midtown bro-y'; drink more to make that and them go away.

Live jazz and burlesque on a Wednesday with no cover? Heck yes.

Try the Pepper Infusion and the Edamame and Sosu - perfectly balanced and not sweet at all

Killer custom made drinks.

Fantastic atmosphere. If you are in the mood for a great tasting drink try a Dr. Ruth.

Be nice to Sterling and he might offer you drinks to try out...

The mixologists have the prescriptions for you, whether you need an aphrodisiacal, stress reliever, or a euphoric enhancer!

The cocktails are unbalanced to the point of being amateurish. Lack of skill and execution behind the bar with $18 price tag makes this a definite no-go. Don't believe the hype and go elsewhere.
John ChewFebruary 20, 2011
Be careful or you'll walk right by. Get there early. Tried to get in on a Friday night after 10 and was turned away.

Latin place next door is a good spot to start the night
Duy NguyenSeptember 30, 2012
A bit overrated. Drinks could be better. Intent was interesting but the execution didn't follow through. I got the deal closer, botanical garden, and high something. Three cocktails, no dice

Stay away from the 'Smoked Negroni' and go for the traditional cocktail. It's muddled in liquid smoke. Sad times.

If you're a whiskey lover, order the Saffron Sazerac. Smokey and subtle. Yum.

Guys be warned, there's a dress code!

There's a nectarine-based drink -- the first I've seen in NYC!
Drew FreyMay 17, 2013
This place used to be an opium den! Speaking of opium, order a "pain killer' like the Mezcal Mayan Summer.

Good cocktail bar
Maya BaratzAugust 15, 2011
On some nights, they have a lounge singer with a 1930's style microphone.

Drink mill...all the price with none of the presentation. That said, it's a classy drink mill.

One of the few bars in NYC where mixology is still an art.
