Natalie SuarezAugust 7, 2011Cool, laid back, under the radar spot. Awesome drinks. Go with a small group of friends late night.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 26, 2011a very chill spot to sip a cocktail and enjoy a night out with friends without any drama.
The Waterloo Sunset tastes a little like Old Bay in the best way
Brent LeffewMarch 14, 2012Try not to open the emergency exit door by accident, but if you do they are really nice about dealing with the alarm.
Tamara HAugust 19, 2012Tequila? Lime? Chipotle grenadine? Sold. The Rumble is a drink actually worth the $12 cocktail price.
Tal SafranAugust 16, 2011Reynolds (the redhead bartender) makes great drinks when he's not totally wasted so get there early!
fabulous cocktails = including one made with blackberry preserves!
Brianne SperberSeptember 10, 2010Love that half the cocktails are made with Lavender and Lemon. So delicious.- Aaron BeattyAugust 10, 2010Reynolds is the best mixologist I've met. I highly recommend the Waterloo Sunset.
Kind of slow service once happy hour gets into full swing. Good drinks though.
Reynolds is the man! He is quick , nice and makes outstanding drinks. I wish I had his hair.
Stuart TracteSeptember 3, 2011I don't feel like I've had enough tragedy in my life to visit this bar.
jeniMarch 4, 2012Ok its actually just a reg boring crowded LES bar.. Not a weirdo swing club like it sounds. Which is its only plus!!
