    The best cocktail bar in EV. Decor & atmosphere are phenomenal. Pricey, but worth every penny if you're trying to impress. Try on a weeknight to avoid the wait.

    Drinks are fantastic! Only issue is that it is very dark inside. Very dark. One of my guests had a issues with his sight due to the excessive low light and basically drank blind all night.

    Try the Sweet Hereafter. Swapping in pisco for gin, barkeep Joachim Simo takes the straightlaced martini for a sultry Latin American spin. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

    A little bit on its high horse. The Manhattan looked good. The Negroni was too small and weak. Nice speakeasy atmosphere and glassware

    You have to wait but you have a seating place for sure. The big cocktails was really good and strong. Very nice service.

    A storefront on E 6th with wooden panels in place of windows. Death & Co. is printed on metal out front. Give your number to the bouncer at the door. He’ll call you when you can come inside.

    If you aren’t sure what to order, ask the bartender or server for recommendations and tasting notes. They are well versed in their craft!

    Mostly enjoyed the music selection in this bar. Low light atmosphere, good cocktails and no issue finding a seat on a Sunday evening.

    Another great speak easy style bar, put your name in with the guy standing outside. Walk around the village a little until they call you.

    They're great! If you're indecisive, ask for the bar tenders choice! They do no wrong. Just give a little info and they'll bring out a GREAT drink (ie what kind of alcohol, sweet, bitter, etc).

    You will probably have to put your name on the list at the door and wait for a while for a call, but it's worth it. The best cocktails in NYC; I've never had a bad drink there.

    Excellent cocktails here in a studiously quiet setting, but be prepared for waits up to several hours long.

    The menu at this influential bar includes punches, juleps, drinks made with Spanish spirits, and plenty of whiskey-based cocktails.

    This place knows it's cocktails. The entire atmosphere is fantastic. Be sure not to miss the Oaxaca Old Fashioned.

    Fantastic cocktails, can't be passed over. Look out for the lack of a double door set up. Brutal draft every time someone enters or exits in the winter.

    I tried the Double barrel julep and the Pendennis club cocktail when I was there on my first night in NYC from STL. EXCELLENT! No need to say any more - except "JUST GO".

    Bartender's choice is always best. Describe your desired flavor profile and spirit and you will get the drinks of your dreams.

    Where to find the "Manhattan Hipster." Delicious cocktails. Yummy munchies and a sexy, swanky design décor. With every penny, ahem $20, great for date night! -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef

    Cocktails are great but also try the small plate apps. Sashimi is amazing as are the pork belly and short rib sliders.

    The cocktails are pretty good, but even cooler is the vibe. Great music playing and a dark, cozy space.

    Warning: once you have a cocktail here, you will no longer settle for poorly made drinks. Bartenders are some of the best in the world. If there is a wait list, get on it & head over to Vandaag.

    go bartender's choice. tell them your favorite flavor profile and they will deliver. if you try to guess on your own from the menu you might be disappointed

    Try the heart shaped box. It's a brandy cocktail- refreshing but not too sweet. One of the best cocktails I've had!

    Dimly lit atmosphere. Often plays danc-ey music. Cocktails are very good (but nothing too memorable). If you really want to carry a good convo, go to milk and honey instead

    Drinks are good, not great. Vibe is lively speakeasy. Crowd is whoever will wait (often A-Cityers). A/C is lacking in the summer. There are better cocktail spots, but D&C deserves its rep and history

    Quintessential speakeasylong waits, pricey drinks, dark interior. Feels more like a winter spot (read: it has no windows) for a date than anything else.

    Fantastic place to go for your first drink of the night. Go early and with a small group - they can't accommodate a party larger than 7.

    Mac & cheese is amazing and served beautifully (picture doesn't do justice) & French 95 is good for a dude drink
