    Love the cocktails, will definitely be back to try everything on their cocktail menu. Also, the desserts are spot on. Their panna cotta with PB&J was a party in your mouth!

    We always learn a trick or two from the friendly bartenders who are more than happy to share! Be brave and try the Commando Cocktail. Go sweeter with the Sherry Cobbler!

    Drinks organized by style with one or two specials that change daily. Try Second Marriage (Old Fashioned), Whiskey Smash is also refreshing, Red Light Special.

    Great food & drinks. Right now, the whiskey smash is made w/ fresh peaches instead of apricots. TRY. The burrata & gin pairing board, olive oil-poached halibut, & flat iron steak are amazing.

    This East Village restaurant is outfitted with vintage wallpaper and pages from a 1915 etiquette text. Sample one of the pre-Prohibition quaffs, like the Sherry Cobbler (sherry and lemon juice). Read more

    Great spot. Sit at the bar, the bartenders are great. The Hop Over is a killer beer cocktail. The half chicken is a delight (from someone who swore off poultry for 4 years).

    Try the sherry cobbler. Bar mgr Dan Greenbaum adds raspberries muddled w/ a wedge of lemon & a splash of simple syrup to Lustau Dry Amontillado sherry. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011 Read more

    Great place for a memorable cocktail, fine for a meal. The space is cozy, with a limited number of tables and chairs. It was buzz busy in summer 2011. In a retro mood, attitude comes with the service.

    The Crow's Nest is boozy and complex and bittersweet, but you really owe it to yourself to try a G&T made with barkeep Tom's homemade tonic. Simply superb.

    One drink to say it all- Astor Painless Anesthetic. Unlike anything you've had before! The Beagle offers "pre-Prohibition-style mixed drinks" & a bar with dark curtains, dark colors and rocker music.

    Smog Cutter is one of the best beer cocktails you're ever likely to taste. Interesting menu but I usually go for a classic cocktail.

    Amazing cocktails, which is what I think this place is supposed to be all about, but they could have fooled me with their fantastic food, especially the chicken. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    If you get here early, and you're super nice, you can ask for a flight of sherries to experience the difference. Amazing!

    The Beagle does this latest trend justice with their Barrel-Aged Manhattan -- full of hints of yummy caramel & spice.

    From the NY CHOW Report on NY1: It's all about the chicken with foie gras, cheddar and fennel pollen. Gorgeous.

    Portions are so small its more like tapas regardless of what you order. Very tasty but over priced going by portion size. Everyone left hungry after appetizers and meal
