sarah vergaraAugust 29, 2011i got this habanero-infused tequila (or vodka?) cocktail called something-'brava'. one of the best spicy cocktails in town! Read more
Tiffany SFebruary 10, 2010Everyone knows the drinks are amazing, but don't overlook the food. Order the mac and cheese -- it comes piled in 7 soup spoons, which makes for a fun eating experience.
Cameron HendrixJune 10, 2013Ask for 'The Devil Inside', a Scotch and Rye Whiskey based cocktail served neat- 2011 Winter menu must try: Hot Lips: Los Amantes joven mescal, jalapeño infused Chinaco verde, pineapple, lemon, vanilla syrup, cane syrup, salt rim.
NY WaterwayOctober 17, 2012Classic bartending style here! Entertaining to watch! Drinks are really good here too.
Daniel DelucaMarch 17, 2014Eye of Torino is the best whiskey cocktail I have ever had!! Love Bowmore 12yo :D
Dana HardyFebruary 12, 2011If you dig whiskey order the Blue Run Sling. All the wonderful whiskey flavors meld with a wonderful touch of sweet!
Kyle ButlerJune 26, 2011Ask for a drink with aquavit. It's a Scandinavian spirit that, according to the Mayor, is going to get it's own page on the new menu.
Another solid speakeasy. Don't steal the menus, they will give you one if you ask to take it home.
Ru LuOctober 25, 2014The estimated time the doorman gave us was right - about an hour around 11:30 pm on Friday. The interior was okay. The gate was cooler. Drinks okay, the service was great.
Unconventional tapas, in a dark and mysterious, chandelier and candle lit atmosphere. The doors outside and lack of windows makes this place difficult to find from the outside.
Zohreen AdamjeeMay 17, 2011Fletch is a cool doorman. Tried to help an injured pigeon in between letting ppl into the bar
M JJuly 31, 2011Talk to bartender Joaquin if you want to know anything about anything or any amazing bar in the country! Loved it here!- Love Szechuan peppercorn and gin? Try a Petticoat: Szechuan peppercorn infused gin, lime, Marie Brizard apry, velvet falernum, cane syrup.
Lisa LinfordMarch 23, 2012Try the Sunset Gun it is absolutely incredible. Gin infused with a kick of basil, love it!
- Go before 7:30pm on Sundays through Wednesdays. Sit at the bar. Don't trust the doorman's time estimates if he puts your name down--it's very hard to predict when people will leave.
EatocracyJune 10, 2010Cocktails are to die for at this East Village bar. Drinks like the Joy Division and the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test sparkle amid the Gothic loveliness of this cocktail manor.
Giovanni D'PalmaApril 18, 2016They have some seriously impressive cocktails but the service was lacking and since you have to wait to get in... It may not be worth it
Kris ConstantelosNovember 6, 2014Great place, but if you love gin don't order the shortstop. Sounds good on paper. Tastes like leather.
Get the Truffle fries and the Southern Exposure drink. Jalapeño heaven!
Breeze SkrrtJuly 23, 2015Highly rated but drinks have always seemed sweet and single-noted to me. There are better, less heralded spots in the neighborhood.- Zohreen AdamjeeMay 17, 2011The toffee pudding here is out of the world-glad I chose it over the chocolate cake.
Moran BarMay 3, 2013Cool place, dressed up people. The cocktails are special and the food is good but in small portions.
Elie KardousOctober 12, 2011awesome speakeasy in the East Village...amazing cocktails selection...I give it a solid 8
NikoJune 30, 2010Great venue, awesome drinks. Try the Aged Cheddar and Truffle Mac&Cheese bites or share with that special someone...delish!
Hyeyoon Ashley ChungNovember 6, 2010i recommend sitting at the bar. see bartenders making cocktails and have a chat with them:) they r so nice and cool!!
Charity GourleyMarch 30, 2010Fantastic place! Tho maybe don't bring a first date here ladies, that waitress is too distractingly gorgeous for men to not oggle. Like taking a date to a metric concert, prepare to be ignored.
