Great details

Ross Collins and Turkey River are great

Try the Dr. Ruth - California strawberries, vodka, rosemary, agave nectar, lime, champagne

Too loud and crowded for my taste, but I love how the whole thing is hidden in the seam in Chinatown...

Amazing pharmacist themed cocktails
Sarah EMarch 22, 2011
Try the Pepper Infusion and the Edamame and Sosu - perfectly balanced and not sweet at all

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

Atmosphere mixed with cocktails

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

Killer custom made drinks.
Irena CabreraJanuary 30, 2011
Fantastic atmosphere. If you are in the mood for a great tasting drink try a Dr. Ruth.
SermadSeptember 21, 2013
Be nice to Sterling and he might offer you drinks to try out...
RazorfishSeptember 20, 2011
The mixologists have the prescriptions for you, whether you need an aphrodisiacal, stress reliever, or a euphoric enhancer!
Dan ValenFebruary 6, 2013
Stay away from the 'Smoked Negroni' and go for the traditional cocktail. It's muddled in liquid smoke. Sad times.
Sigbjørn DMay 27, 2017
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.
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
Sean StenstromFebruary 22, 2015
Latin place next door is a good spot to start the night
jenny zJuly 4, 2013

JP SistenichDecember 7, 2015
Cocktails are tasty!
Iana Y.January 4, 2015
Kale drink! Worth a try!
Drew FreyMay 17, 2013
This place used to be an opium den! Speaking of opium, order a "pain killer' like the Mezcal Mayan Summer.
Connie ChiuNovember 16, 2014
Different world inside. Great drinks.
Evren AvserenNovember 14, 2014
1920's environment. So original.
ruth kimNovember 9, 2014
The interior makes me think of the book,"Water for Elephants"
Liliana HacesApril 26, 2016
Hidden place! Cucumber martini!
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.
Christopher AwadJanuary 22, 2012
Hard to find but worth the search. Great cocktails
Cindy LindenbaumJune 3, 2012
Sitting Buddha or Bees Knees....tough choice AND organic!
Hannah ParkFebruary 3, 2011

If you're a whiskey lover, order the Saffron Sazerac. Smokey and subtle. Yum.
Paige AnneApril 6, 2014
Get the Kale in Comparison!
AnissaMay 22, 2015
Guys be warned, there's a dress code!

Try the devil’s playground
Lauren LachsOctober 2, 2012
There's a nectarine-based drink -- the first I've seen in NYC!
@mrfboyerSeptember 4, 2012
Drink mill...all the price with none of the presentation. That said, it's a classy drink mill.
Lee WestJune 20, 2022
Good cocktail bar
Patricia BradbyOctober 28, 2010
Reserved Cocktails: Don't - Get the the 1494. Do - Get the Queen Victoria's Pride or Royal Flush
RobertoSeptember 5, 2011
One of the few bars in NYC where mixology is still an art.
Maya BaratzAugust 15, 2011
On some nights, they have a lounge singer with a 1930's style microphone.
Doctor KleinApril 19, 2010
This place is my dream bar. Amazing drinks made by mad scientists, great atmosphere, and ABSINTHE!
Helene EdvardsenMarch 22, 2016
