Elevine BergeSeptember 3, 2014Bartenders are superb -super friendly and easygoing, and always mixing up exactly what you would want before you even know what you want! Great interior and ambience. Favourite place to end the night.
The StandardOctober 25, 2011NY (Drink) It might be misleading that they call themselves a hotel (look to us for that!), but this place has some of the most amazing cocktails -- ask for the spicy mezcal drink, that's our favorite
Allison NiksichJuly 7, 2021We stumbled onto this place and found a gem. They have really great cocktails and vibes with an amazing liquor selection - also came to find out they have an amazing raw bar. I love this place :)
- Laura ItzkowitzSeptember 3, 2014A romantic cocktail bar with oysters and a great wine list to boot? That's Hotel Delmano, where antique chandeliers and marble bistro tables with fresh flowers will sweep you away.
Stina P.May 4, 2014absolutely perfect for grabbing a table outside on a soon to be summer day. dog friendly, the kind of place you can catch up with laughter and lovely music from inside wafting with the windows open- Emily WilsonJune 27, 2016Awesome old-school and European feeling cocktail spot. Go during the afternoon, when the light floods in and the vibe is carefree. I loved the Gentle Julep.
ブルーノSeptember 25, 2015Such a pretty place with a great cocktail selection. If the weather is good enough, just sit outside and enjoy your drinks, the lovely atmosphere of this bar and its neighborhood.
The Corcoran GroupMay 4, 2012Grab a sidewalk table and spend an afternoon (and an evening) sipping truly inventive seasonal cocktails and noshing on fresh oysters, meats and cheeses.
emily chenOctober 20, 2014cute speakeasyish joint. they have shrimp cocktails with the heads still on! good for dates and a place to grab a drink and a bite to eat.
Stephanie ZhongOctober 29, 2014One of the best speakeasies in Williamsburg! Lots of savory cocktails 🍸🍹. In addition, they also serve delicious snacks and a range of fresh oysters from west coast to east coast
Ashley ChanJuly 11, 2017LOVE the retro vibes here. Cocktails are delicious and refreshing, and the outdoor seating is clutch when it's a nice summer day out.
Nicole FormicaMarch 3, 2016I love love love this bar. Awesome cocktails. Don't stray too far away from their signatures.. The Alibi or Devils Garden is a great place to start.
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013awesome for cocktails and light food options - great for oysters or just charcuterie & cheese. this place is kinda hidden away and doesn't get as packed as some of it's neighbors.
The San Francisco Handshake is one of my fav drinks on the planet (if you like Fernet)
Konstantinos PsychogiosJanuary 20, 2017Great environment, ideal for having a conversation as the music is as loud as it needs to be. Both the interior design and the cocktails were superb!- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015It's easy to miss the unmarked, gated entrance to this cocktail bar on Berry Street, but head around to the entrance on North 9th Street and you'll feel whisked away to a weathered old-world parlor.

Cameron GidariJanuary 16, 2017Quality cocktail bar. Try the Rattlesnake (rye whiskey, egg white, and fresh lemon juice with an absinthe rinse).
Really cool bar, great old fashioned cocktail, and the meat and cheese plate really hit the spot. Good date spot 👌🏼
Marc SchneebergerJune 18, 2017Is there something i need to say after getting a cocktail great as this. Best cocktails in brookyln!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014It's not a hotel. Meaning you can't stay overnight. But you can easily spend a night at this old-timey parlor whiling away the hours over cocktails and oysters. Read more
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 20, 2014The gin cocktail with docs hard cider is great. If you're into bloody Mary's you will like the three amigos - a deconstructed michelada (?)
JM ParveauxNovember 23, 2014Very nice staff, great bartenders that will make unlisted drinks if you ask for. And the ambiance is very cool. Worth the wait
C SSeptember 28, 2019Brilliant place. Great cocktails, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere. Seafood looks great too but didn’t try it
Adrienne SMay 9, 2012The bartenders are not very nice but the cocktail list is comprehensive and the space is fantastic. Defo in the #dipsology top 100. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
BaturalpSeptember 10, 2018Cocktails are top notch as you might expect. Get some oysters and roasted nuts as well.
Frank RimalovskiFebruary 1, 2012Another Wiilamsburg gem (not really a hotel) with amazing cocktails and oysters. Order off their cocktail menu. You won't be disappointed. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Marie RicherJanuary 2, 2017Great cocktail list with seasonal specialties. The room has a beautiful antique vibe like an old mansion.
Good, strong drinks. Totally unpretentious atmosphere. Also good for groups with the bigger booths in the back.
Alp OzcelikAugust 3, 2015Amazing cocktails! Good seafood platters too. Definitely check their seasonal cocktail offerings.
Brahaani MamoNovember 7, 2013Room 237 - sweet and strong | the William tell - the description and the taste don't match. It tastes like lemon tea. I swamped it out for The Alibi - it's delicious and tastes like it reads :-)
Ana CardenasJune 13, 2017Best cocktail bar in Williamsburg hands down. The Perro y Gato is one of my favorite drinks I've ever had.
Cocktails are exquisite. Gentle Julep worth trying. Everyone here is fashionable. Dress accordingly.
Blake OlmsteadJanuary 18, 2016Perfect atmosphere for decadent tipplers. But snack beforehand. Only the cheese plate is worth it's weight.
Rebecca GanzakMarch 8, 2011favorite bar in NYC. you must try Cleopatra's Pearl: Fresh lemon, apricot & peach blossom liqueur (DIMMI Liquore di Milano), Egyptian mint infused Vodka
Dope 🍸 🍹 and 🍷 have some oysters, fresh ricotta and charcuterie + great scene and soundtrack 👌
Great oysters. Letters from Mexico, very nice cocktail!
Chandra GhosalJanuary 3, 2020We tried a handful of different cocktails and each was unique and very tasty.
Mariana LSeptember 20, 2012Carefully crafted cocktails an oysters give off a sexy roaring 20's vibe... Anything with elderflower works for me!
Cole SigmonFebruary 16, 2014$10-14 a drink is a great price to pay for the quality and fresh ingredients you get! Also beautiful atmosphere.
A nice little speakeasy lounge with a great cocktail selection. Good whiskeys, too. Cheese plate is great, but a small portion.
Stephanie YuanJuly 31, 2016If you like fernet branca in the least, order the San Francisco drink!! Will be coming back for that
Daan V.November 26, 2011Best place to get a cocktail in Williamsburg. If you like Scotch, try the 'Smoke and Flowers' with peaty Ardberg. Enjoy!
Sarah DailyJune 22, 2010Yumtown #1: Lotsa 'speakeasy' bars in NY saying they make cocktails. Delmano actually does. $3 chorizo plate—nice snack to go along with chipotle-infused whiskey. They even make my house cocktail!
Margo MindnichAugust 16, 2014Parisian feel. Come here for candlelit conversation and a cocktail. Great date spot
Benjy WeinbergerJuly 11, 2014The rattlesnake goes down so smoothly, you'll have 3 or 4 of them before you realize how hammered you are.
