Cocktail Favorites

Maxwell Z: Cocktail Mecca, plain and simple.

Nina Yiamsamatha: If you have trouble deciding what to order, let them decide for you. Ask for the Bartender's Choice and tell them what flavors/liquors you like.

Daniel Salinas: Best cocktail bar in south Brooklyn, plus their kitchen serves food until late

Nina Yiamsamatha: Really nice staff. Order The New Partner.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Seider (co-owner) recently created new drinks for the menu - worth checking out if you haven't been back in a while. Try the 'Off to the Races' or 'Say Hello to my Little Friend.'

Dens: Trivia: "angel's share" is a term that describes the wine that escapes through evaporation during the barrel aging process. (I learned this at a bourbon tasting down in New Orleans)

How To Make It In America: If you can tear yourself away from the Asian-Portuguese fusion, mixology at the bar is among the most precise and inspired in town -- seriously underrated. [BlackBook] Read more.

Mario Batali: sexy cocktail lounge above the fray of houston street, you might just be in burma, i love the jamaican firefly and the old cuban, both drinks not people btw

Brian Howald: The half-priced cocktails at Happy Hour are pretty clutch.

Adam Schwartz: One of the best poured drinks you'll find in the west village. Perfect late night spot.

Suri R: The Randy Cocktail is sensational. If you're in for something harder, the Slynx.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Split a punch bowl with friends. Good times will be had.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Get the Shark: a tiki drink with complexity and class (frangelico AND blue curacao, juice, and lots of rum)

Jack Gashi: Gets packed at night but solid spot. The breakfast burger is great at brunch

Nina Yiamsamatha: Perfect place to enjoy cocktails after a show at Radio City - a real midtown gem. You might be tempted to order every drink on the menu...

Nina Yiamsamatha: Don't miss the Jalisco Fizz and Garden Variety Margarita! Tasty drinks, but they totally pack a punch.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Damn good cocktails upstairs. Order a drink that comes in an antique porcelain cup (with built-in mustache guard) and feel transported to old Mannahatta.

Suri R: Some of their drinks taste like holy water. Keep an eye on the alcohol-namechecks on the menu - I love anything with Yamazaki.

Verna: Great seasonal cocktails and they have manhattans on tap...pretty fantastic.

Travis Combel: Forget about the drink you want. Tell them what you like and let them work.

Dina Fierro: There's no cocktail menu here - just give them guidance on what you're in the mood for and they'll concoct a bespoke creation!

Nina Yiamsamatha: The seasonal or regular negroni on the rocks will make you a gin believer.

Sigalle Barness: Deeply nestled in a seemingly barren no man's land between LES and Chinatown, knock lightly on the unadorned door, name your poison to the mysterious bartender and let the night ride...

Nina Yiamsamatha: Sit at the bar. Slightly musty but definitely has an old-school charm.

Zack Sheppard: A great new offering in the LES from the Death & Co. family. Solid cocktail offerings in a dark space that feels warmer and more personal than other nearby spots.
