Christian BorgesSeptember 2, 2011Once you find it (on the West corner of Leroy and 7th Ave. South.), get the Ward 8. Mindscrambler - hurt so good! :-)
Lamarr B.March 25, 2011some of the best drinks i've had in ny! atmosphere is great, and the staff/bartenders are very knowledgeable and helpful
Get here right at 7pm when they open on weeknights otherwise it is tough to get in without a long wait.
- Nikolas FlorosOctober 13, 2014This hard to find dimly lit joint has live music and great service. They make a mean death in the afternoon and an amazing sazerac. If you can't decide, tell the bartender some ingredients and he'll
Alexa E.September 14, 2013Go see the guys at Little Branch and get your fix. They know their cocktails.
Gordon's Breakfast ... the best off-menu cocktail ever. Gin, cucumber, lime, hot sauce. Amazing.
DayanJanuary 4, 2015No longer serve spherical ice balls but still makes a good old fashioned. Limited in whiskey selections.
Jarret WeinrichAugust 11, 2012Just get the bartender's choice with your favorite spirit, you won't be sad. Also, bring cash.
Scott HarrowerNovember 6, 2009The perfect after date drink place in the lower west. Order the "Fair and Day" (off menu) - a rum based revelation haha. Or something a little sweet, try their "Dominicana."
If you're one for martinis, order a Tuxedo No. 2, the predecessor to the traditional cocktail. Gin + Absinthe = Heaven.
MetroSeeker.comAugust 20, 2011Many old rules apply in this place: No misbehaving, no loud and boisterous behaviour. If you are not sure what you want, name a liquor you enjoy, and they'll give you a list of what they can make.
Andrew LitvakOctober 12, 2014Super strong Old Fashioned. Super pricey, too, for a cash-only venue...
abdulnabyNovember 29, 2012Ask for the homie Cervantes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tell him I sent you...
karen bonna rainertSeptember 2, 2012Southside Fizz is awesome. Make sure you have cash; they don't take cards.
SarahSeptember 28, 2010you don't have to read the menu. just tell the hostess what you feel like having...she'll have the bartenders come up with something special.
EsquireJanuary 31, 2011Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Order a silver rye fizz. They're excellent here.
Eric ShoemakerJune 16, 2010Greatest drinks in Manhattan... fresh ingredients and custom made to your flavor likes and dislikes. Live Jazz certain nights also.
MazdaNovember 12, 2010This place has old school cocktails, nightly jazz, and the dark mood-lighting only associated with a 1920s speakeasy.
Somnath SureshJune 28, 2014Would be more amazing if only they accepted credit cards. Come on its 2014!!!
Cora LambertMarch 27, 2012Milk & Honey cocktails without the reservation policy. Amazing atmosphere.
Food & WineApril 20, 2011This West Village basement lounge is owned by mixologist Joseph Schwartz. Drinks are served with ice that's custom-made for each glass.
MaggieNovember 4, 2011Indecisive? Tell a bartender what you like. Week from hell? A stiff rye is better than a good cry!

"Stroll confidently to the back of the greasy burger joint & up the stairs to this charming speakeasy. Great cocktails (DO try the specials) & tap list. Don't expect to find an open seat."

Nidhi Kay - 9.0
"I wouldn't say it's the best pizza in the city, but it's still a great and pretty yummy New York slice. I liked the regular cheese slice better than the one with fresh mozzarella."
