Leah MaloneSeptember 23, 2014When a bartender describes your drink of choice as lighting a leather shoe on fire and putting it in whiskey, you know they understand you.
Theresa RoldanJanuary 3, 2016No menu. Just tell the bartender what you like/don't like and he'll make the perfect cocktail. Very small so expect a [worthwhile] wait.
Joshua HaftelFebruary 7, 2016Great ambiance, super nice folks working there. THe drinks were all great. Def returning.
Rebecca KatzMarch 24, 2018No menu, the server comes over and you tell them what you’re in the mood for and they will surprise you!
Sefi KeiniMay 14, 2016Good cocktails but for an exorbitant price. 17$ is a lot more than what comparable speakeasy /cocktail bar charge for a drink
The New YorkerFebruary 13, 2014“Attaboy has no menu; you suggest a mood or a flavor and the bartenders improvise, which they do proudly or gruffly.” Read more
Aviv GadotFebruary 26, 2016Great music, great drinks and great people. One of my most favorite bars!
Maayan SheinfeldDecember 7, 2014Really cool place. Great cocktails, no menu, just say what you like;)
Beverly WalkerJuly 21, 2024The service was great and the cocktail was served quickly. Would highly recommend!
Nicholas MatareseAugust 9, 2014Be daring and get the Electric Current Fizz: Classic Gin Fizz paired with a spicy egg yolk shooter.- Explain what you're looking for in a cocktail to the bartender and they'll make exactly what you described.
Rob JuckettMarch 4, 2015Just go here, don't even read this just go. Everything is amazing and you can't go wrong
ニコラス DmitriJune 12, 2013Just come with no more than 3 friends. Trust them to make something awesome & let the magic happen.
Johnny WonMay 18, 2015Quiet, wonderful and extremely professional cocktail bar. World class experts.
Jessica BailisApril 16, 2015Amazing bespoke cocktails, just tell the bartender what you're craving 😉
TomApril 28, 2014Knock or press the door bell and wait for the lock to make a clicking sound, then pull. Worth it.
These are the best bartenders in the world. Let them pick your drink and prove it.
Pretty much the best Penicillin you will ever find. Smell it before every sip please.
Try something with ginger in it, like the penicillin. You won't regret it.
Jeff MartensOctober 12, 2023Expect a long wait. Don’t ask for an estimate for how long. Bartenders are total professionals at the top of their game. Trust what they do.
One of the best Old Fashioned's there is. Try a Gordon's Breakfast too.- Saima SirajApril 12, 2016Give them a chance to pick your beverage and demonstrate it..
AaronMarch 27, 2013Just tell the bartender what flavors you're looking for and let them work their magic!
Freja HSeptember 14, 2014Bottom line: don't go, and def don't bring friends - bartenders great but Australian door guy an arrogant pompous prick who quotes 20 min at a 2h wait
Meg LewisJuly 18, 2015No menus here! Tell the bartenders what you like/don't like and they'll make something special just for you!
- Nagak SAugust 8, 2014Staff are nice, good personal vibe. You'd never know it was there if you walked past.
Karan TamhaneMay 3, 2015It's a tiny place, but the cocktails were really good. Pick a poison and tell them to surprise you.
Suri RSeptember 1, 2013Don't be shy about holding down the door bell, it's actually just a light the bartenders can see.
Valentina MonteDecember 12, 2013men with beards and jewelry and billowing shirts mix excellent cocktails.
Sam BermanMay 27, 2016Just trust Sam, he will make you exactly what you didn't know you NEED to drink
