EaterFebruary 19, 2013A focus on gin from Ravi DeRossi, also behind Death & Co. The scene is a punk rock take on an English pub and the drinks, which include gin and tonics on tap are mostly classic and all affordable.
Uber NYCMarch 28, 2013Your young trendy east village crowd. Gin covers the bar with gin cocktails on tap, but you can order whiskey and beer if you ask nicely! Try and grab a spot on the stadium seating to overlook the bar
Deena SellersSeptember 22, 2013This place is so cute!! Perfect for drinks with the girls: great music, cool cocktails, low lights and not super trendy (yet)... Stop by for Nelson's Fix :-)
Serious EatsMarch 12, 2013A relatively affordable cocktail bar devoted entirely to gin. Rarely crowded, and there's a bitters-enhanced G&T on tap.
Jill McBainJuly 10, 2012Sit at the bar. Bartenders are fun an knowledgable (don't try to be all chatty when they are busy...that's just annoying. These guys work hard!). Gregory was fantastic!
Brett RuizAugust 9, 2014I've never been a gin guy, but the cocktails here are amazing. There's not a lot of room to hang out though, so you'll end up butt bumping finance bros all night.
ReALTOAugust 20, 2012"Five words changed my life 3 weeks ago. 'Gin and Tonic. On. Tap.'"..."I felt all at once that it would be a great place for a date or to be single."
Natalie PoullDecember 15, 2013One of my favorite after dinner date spots. Random music like a dive bar, amazing drinks like a speakeasy
Tasting TableJune 29, 2012Order a Gin & Tonic on tap and enjoy this bar’s very bitter, dry and delicious namesake cocktail: Read more
Jeremy LermitteFebruary 17, 2013Gin gin and gin. They didn't lie when they named the place. Great spot! Young EV crowd.
SageOctober 4, 2014A cool space with delicious drinks. The bartender was really nice, and the DJ was good.
Cozy and not over crowded early in the week. Bartenders are even happy to tell you about the gins and cocktails they make you.
Emilie DishonghJune 30, 2012Police & Thieves is a great cocktail - love the cinnamon. Watch yourself on the gin & tonic on tap though - they are large and deceptively strong.
Matt SzenicsDecember 29, 2012High five Josh the bouncer on your way in, grab a glass of gin, and nab the top row on the staircase bench with your friends.
VernaDecember 2, 2012Typical LES bar to the left then dance cage to the right...and playlist goes from MJ to Miike Snow. Get drunk and you'll enjoy it.
Alicia GundermanAugust 7, 2014Fantastic gin with phenomenal bartenders that are truly magnificent at their craft.
WhitberriesSeptember 2, 2013Gorgeous space. The Sunday DJ plays theeee best dancehall set. Definitely going back.
Ben K.July 29, 2012The G+T on tap is a revelation, and $7 to boot. Also one of the best Pimm's Cups I've ever tasted.
Omega SMay 2, 2013If secrecy and gin is what you desire, this is your spot! However the music want great. Maybe it was just a bad night for the DJ?
Tony XerriJune 3, 2013Might want to crank the AC during the summer. Place is too small and packed to stay dry from all the humidity. Drinks were fine and prices were reasonable. Few too many uppity white girls though...
Madison GouzieSeptember 23, 2012House made ginger purée & chainsaw cut ice cubes make it thumbs up fr me
Conor WelterJuly 27, 2012Cocktails and decor are great. But, the overall atmosphere is way too cluby. I want to have a conversation over a nice cocktail, not shout over mediocre music.
StillsJuly 15, 2012Trick your senses with a White Negroni. It tastes just how you would expect, but sans Campari.
Ian JankelowitzAugust 12, 2012Stadium seating rocks but if u don't like gin order a beer, good options
Erin MurphyOctober 15, 2014Strong cocktails, small space, gets very loud and crowded. There are only 2 bathrooms.
Timi SoleyeMay 11, 2013The $20 credit card minimum that they don't tell you about when they have you put your card down

"Taproom's fine, but the main event is upstairs. Cocktails are delicious and have incredible depth. Don't worry about ordering something w/an intimidating spirit. Hit & Run's amazing!!"
