Incredible/ cool-as-heck menu of drinks graphed by flavor/personality + wicked selection of Chartreuse featuring cocktails.
JM ParveauxOctober 2, 2016
Love the map on the drink list to help you find your favorite drink
GlennApril 15, 2016
Fancy cocktails and a charming atmosphere. Good for dates or a relaxed night out with friends.
Jenny FanJuly 25, 2017
Low-key speakeasy without obnoxiously long lines, friendly bouncer, excellent drinks. Good for Sunday nights
Peter WuJune 28, 2015
Love their menu! All drinks are graphed on two axes: adventurousness v. comforting and spirit-filled v. refreshing.
Kimmie OhhDecember 8, 2019
The drink menu allows customers to know whether drinks are familiar or adventurous or whether they’re refreshing or spiritous.
Paul KardousApril 4, 2015
Always a very friendly, chill vibe. It's likely because the staff are great and the cocktails excellent.
Ashley RoseDecember 27, 2015
Snack menu is limited- the cheese and meats are served with wheat thins. I enjoyed the hot mess.

Get the Eye to Eye. Eagle Rare bourbon, lemon, macadamia falernum, strawberry & angostura bitters. Sooo good.
Grant ShellenSeptember 23, 2017
Incredibly well-designed cocktails, served by friendly folks in an unpretentious and lovely space.

A cocktail-lover's cocktail bar, its inventive drinks ranked by how spirit-forward and how experimental they are.
Jenn ZhangMay 10, 2013
A lovely night out should be really quite simple. No secret passwords, no hidden doors, just really complex drinks and freinds Mai Tai is absolutely delicious.
Nora MooreAugust 20, 2014
Amazing cocktails!! Best manhattan and old fashioned. Sazarac was even better than in New Orleans.

Henry the bouncer is a sweetheart! Gave some really useful NYC survival tips. Thank you Henry! From the one who called her mom  try lust for life!

Unique tall glass ice cubes and friendly bartenders, but this place isn't intimate enough for a first date. Better for drinks with a friend.

Far more seating than most other notable East Village cocktail bars, such as Angel Share and Death & Co.

Amazing spot for a classy drink, with an extensive mix of quality house cocktails.
Moshe TeitzAugust 31, 2015
Friendly staff, classy atmosphere and a limited enough cocktail menu that the weight of the world isn't on your shoulders when you order
Adam Van DusenJuly 12, 2015
Where inventive mixology is paired with intelligent, kind bartenders. The best cocktail in New York.
Suri RApril 22, 2013
One of the bartenders made a heavenly mezcal Sazerac (off the menu). Only worth going if you have a bar seat.
Margarita KrupMarch 9, 2016
Great cocktail place! Loved the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread cocktail
Marc SchneebergerMarch 5, 2017

Great cocktails but don't overlook the small but well curated wine list.
Yoni ZloczewskiSeptember 23, 2015
Low key laid back atmosphere - the drinks are not stellar but the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Chris SteeleDecember 31, 2014
Exile on Main Street and The General Lee are both boozy knockouts. The maple bacon brittle isn't half bad either.
R KJuly 19, 2015
Vendetta Road first and then follow it with the Moscow Mule. Great place with a great crew.
JoshJune 8, 2018
Great spot on of my favorites for a great whiskey cocktail
Matt HopeApril 4, 2015
Great atmosphere, amazing service. Not too busy when I was there.
Sarah NelsonFebruary 16, 2013
Outstanding drinks, mid-level atmosphere, BS door policy (bouncer & queue when empty inside). Get the Ragin Glory.
Brooklyn UnitedJune 19, 2013
A nice, quiet, low key environment, great place to go with a small group of friends.
Charlotte PressSeptember 30, 2012
Order the spirit of diplomacy and the death & taxes, you won't regret it.
Craig AustinApril 12, 2015
Excellent place. Bigger / more open than similar places in the area.
Pratheeksha KSApril 25, 2018
Lots of chartreuse cocktails on the menu. It's pretty spacious for an East Village bar.

Very good cocktails, very blah small food menu. The space is large but not cozy. Better for a group than a date.
Talia FisherOctober 20, 2012
So far I've had the spirit of diplomacy and death and taxes and LOVE them! Can't go wrong with either.
pkqk …August 18, 2014
Drink everything but definitely choose something on the adventurous scale especially when it doesn't sound adventurous.
CassidyJanuary 12, 2013
Playlist could use an update (Uncle Kracker? Really???), but drinks are delicious and ambiance is hard to beat.

Amazing cocktails off a rotating themed menu
Andrew D.May 7, 2014
Superior cocktails. Inferior decor. The bare walls are institutional looking, dim the lights and hang some pictures.
foodforfelFebruary 28, 2013
These guys know their chartreuse. Green or yellow, just a sip or a full flight - try them all!
Bogdan PopaDecember 12, 2015
Try the What Came Before and Chicago Fizz cocktails. They are great.
PaulaNovember 21, 2015
Speakeasy bar. Very exotic and unexpected drinks. Busy but not too loud.
Dan HebertOctober 30, 2017
Super creative cocktails and regular updates to their menu
jenny zAugust 23, 2013
amazing cocktails, super knowledgeable bartenders. highly recommend
David DunhillJanuary 17, 2016
A serious cocktail bar with fun cocktails and lots of tables.
Anastasia EnotAugust 25, 2015
Cocktails are good without being exceptional. Great servers. Nice atmosphere but nothing original
Liz ChenMarch 2, 2013
the haberdasher is suprisingly strong, be prepared for something that is almost chocolately but still very good.
Can RoySeptember 16, 2012
Cocktails are AMAZING. Highly recommend the Dark + Stormy and Spirit of Diplomacy
