Meg FarmerJune 3, 2015Cocktails are good, but service is a bit full of themselves. Draws a pretentious crowd; start the night here for the flavor, but def end elsewhere.
Daniel PowellJuly 9, 2016A bit out of the way but good bar service and cocktails - decent beer selection
Alex RobertsonMay 10, 2019No tipping but cocktails are $18!!! Skip the chicken sandwich in favor of the firecracker chicken strips
Alex HunterJanuary 2, 2023Shockingly expensive with $20 cocktails but good for large groups if you’re looking for something in the area (10-15 minute walk to MSG).
Too busy for happy hour. Great cocktails that are too good if you're just trying to grab a quick drink.
Aly H.October 24, 2015I thought the food was overpriced, but the cocktails, the atmosphere, and the service will have me coming back!
DarynaOctober 14, 2016Bartenders ain't trying to be nice even a bit. Doing a decent job with a drinks but an attitude...
Michael DempseyMarch 28, 2015Drinks are decent but a little touristy. If for some reason you find yourself over here, a fine option, but don't go out of your way.
Denis SosnovtsevJanuary 30, 2016Don't get the hot buttered rum. Perhaps the only cocktail in my life I chose not to finish out of disgust.

"Came here on a friday evening for my bday happy hour :) everyone in my group was blown away by the beautiful garden ambiance. Def recommended for a date or a low key celebration w/ friends."
Henali - 8.6
"Stunning. One of the best theatrical experiences I've ever had. Dark, brooding, mysterious. Worth a trip to New York just for this. Don't do too much research just show up and take it all in."
Josh A - 8.7
"What an experience! You won't be able to explore everything and follow every actor during the three hour time slot, but be open to forging your own ghost-like path throughout the McKittrick."
