Mark BramhillJune 25, 2016Great cocktails, nearly everything is made in house. Owner is great. This place is lively on the weekends, but dead early in the week. Come then for a quiet, amazing drink.
Why does the whiskey in their $6 shot & beer deal taste unusually good? It's a special concoction of bourbon and other mixers that changes up every season. Winter's make you all warm and fuzzy inside.
CBS New YorkJune 12, 2015They're serving a special Elderflower Sour cocktail, with vodka, Elderflower liquor, lime, and vanilla for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more- DoubleDeuceMay 15, 2017Amazing deal for happy hour. Tasty cocktails but not as much charm and decor as you might expect for the neighborhood. One and move is probably best here but at least one, for sure.
You can reserve space here without a minimum. Free mini cupcakes if it’s a birthday! Great space, wasn’t too crowded on a Saturday night.
All of the cocktails are amazing. Don't see something you like? The bartender will be happy to craft something perfect for your tastes.
Everything is great - the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the creative drinks. I recommend the Escape Hatch and the Accidental Tourist!!!!
BaturalpNovember 12, 2018Solid cocktails with a chill vibe. Skip the margarita, it’s too sweet. They give mini cupcakes if you’re celebrating a birthday. Thumbs up.
Lauren SmithSeptember 4, 2021Tasty cocktails — great date spot! Private booths outside, eclectic decor.
- Offers a perfect blend of highbrow and lowbrow: good cocktail menu for when you're in the mood, but they'll whip up a few pickleback shots just as quick.
- Ask Tim to make you his favorite gin cocktail. If you're feeling Tequila, the "Remember the Alamo" has just the right amount of spicy kick.
Roger Steve RuizJuly 27, 2013A fan of Resin? Me too. That double IPA and 9.1% is great. Though, this place has a Kelso IPA made in Brooklyn at 12% for $6. Drink friends!- Ben WatkinsJune 16, 2013Really fun (but slightly expensive) cocktails! Try the elderflower sour for a light refresher. Only get rum and root beer if you really like rum...
Get in a little earlier before the crowds arrive and strike up a convo with the bartender. Amazing stuff.
Great bar and playlist. Not crowded but not too empty either. Not fancy yet not divey. Get the Elderflower Sour!- TMarch 15, 2015Really cool place to hangout with friends. Cocktails are also unique and good. Get the elderflower
I don't understand the low rating. Great cocktails and chill vibe. Process & Progress is delicious.
Kushal DaveJune 15, 2014Great cocktails, home made soda, and boozy slushies (need to come back on a hot day!)- BaturalpNovember 12, 2018This place is great for groups and manager is happy to reserve any area for your party. Highly recommended.
Abner AcevesJanuary 20, 2015Owner and staff are really nice. Great cocktails. Tecate + Tequila special is always a good shout!
Christina ChinNovember 6, 2017Bartender was a bit of a dick sat night, ignoring customer wish fors...like my friend asked politely for more spice in her drink when he was making it and he just gave her a dirty look and ignored
AlexFebruary 23, 2014Sauzerac is spectacular . Beer and shot ... Always fun ! it's the best bar in the LES
- Kevin MillerJuly 29, 2015Consistently shows phish livestream, great drink specials, bartenders and owner. Do it.
Emily KaneJuly 6, 2015Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Big fan of the frozen summer cocktails.- Local bar with awesome cocktails and a great beer selection. The opposite of pretentious.
Miles BranmanAugust 20, 2015Ryan (bar manager) is awesome. Literally anything he says is right when it comes to alcohol
Sheila MarikarApril 25, 2013Damn fine cocktails, down to earth vibe. Matt, the owner, knows his stuff and couldn't be nicer.
Rose Y.March 30, 2013Staff had issues relinquishing the bathroom for patrons to use. Complained loudly about splitting the bill even though we provided the bulk of the business on an otherwise quiet Friday night.
Polina WeitzJuly 19, 2018Cocktails are ok but not great, during happy hour they are $11, which is reasonable. The decor and vibe are nice and chill.
Bryan GrahamNovember 29, 2012The grilled cheese (served till 3:30, maybe 3:45 if you're hungry) is divine. No BS.
- Jessica ANovember 10, 2013Amazing hand crafted and home made cocktails--- without any pretentious mixologists.
This place used to have a mix of cocktails and picklebacks. These days, after new ownership, it looks nice but the drinks are premium mediocre
Anna FrenkelJuly 14, 2013There is only ONE (unisex) bathroom so if you take too long, drunk people will try to hurt you.
I want to love this place but the drinks are too expensive for what they are (or even how they are presented). Also they only have flat soda/tonic water.
Kosha ShahOctober 15, 2014Ugh, too crowded on a Saturday night. Don't come here without a table reservation otherwise be prepared to stand! All night.

"Good drinks menu, though more limited than most high quality cocktail bars. Tilts towards Japanese ingredients (yuzu, sochu, calpico). Amazing wings and okonami-yaki."
