EM H.September 8, 2017Cool place to grab a nice drink with friends or a date. Enough space for different vibes.
The cocktails here are amazing and diverse. It's almost a sin to just have a vodka soda or a gin an tonic! Try something new.
Monserrat AOctober 27, 2012Grab a seat at the bar and get ready to be impressed. A bar w both Real Craft beers & labor intensive yummy cocktails. Yes!
@JaumePrimeroFebruary 5, 2013Why do I love the Tippler? The best happy hour. Meatpacking District location without the pretention. Great beer and cocktails. That is all. :)
Clara BayarriSeptember 6, 2014Nice drinks bar. I'd definitely recommend snacking on a pretzel while you're there.
Saarim ZamanJuly 14, 2016Hard to find, but once you're in it's great. The cocktails are super tasty and the space is awesome.
StacyMay 6, 2018Mike treated us with such disrespect at the bar...we left. Ordered a cocktail no longer on the menu “Something Wicked” and was greeted with condescension. Be nice! Ruined the vibe of our day.
HeidiOctober 6, 2017Craft cocktails are $15. At the table they bring you the check after a round unless you leave a card for a tab. It's underground but you get cell signal.
A big crowd but not packed (still had standing room) with a photo booth by the restrooms. I had a Chelsea Smash that was good
LouiseSeptember 2, 2012It's not on the drinks menu anymore but try the delicious Buzzing Black Buck - Blackwell Rum, Araku coffee liqueur, 9th street espresso, lime and ginger beer.
Marc SMarch 7, 2020Nice basement space but the cocktails are premixed and disappointing and our bartender was totally uninterested. The 80s-00s retro music is decent.
Jen RiosSeptember 5, 2016My cocktail tasted like arugula and I liked it. Seriously get a cocktail here and let your tastebuds explore.
Pro Move: order a few apps like cured meats and awesome cheeses, then settle in for a few well made cocktails. The Derek Smalls is fantastic.
AerieMarch 12, 2012Below Chelsea Market, it epitomizes the qualities that make a New York bar popular: trendy, hard to find, and without significant markings. The difference is this one has reasonably priced drinks!
💎TNovember 5, 2014Nicely hidden bar right on the side of Chelsea Market. Very nice and intimate place.
Booty Collins was excellent (spicy sweet). The Derek Smalls was good as well (cucumber/anise).
Never had a bad cocktail. Get the Crippler or the Darth Fader if they're on the menu
Andrew GattoFebruary 28, 2015Good vibe, good crowd, drinks weren't expensive- definitely a chill spot to take a date or bring a group
Edomia zaide BereheJuly 9, 2017It's a nice place but the noise level is so high to carry a conversation. We liked the ambiance and staff but ended up leaving because of the volume!
CarolynJanuary 19, 2015Good cocktails. Good music. Good beer on tap. Check out the photo booth. Good for groups.
Jane ChoMarch 17, 2013Booty Collins, please! Tasty, and the mixture didn't leave me with a headache the next day! :)
Michael G.May 5, 2019Can’t speak to the cocktails but the bar is very spacious and has a great beer selection.
The Charming Snake is a great go-to cocktail. If you've got a stronger constitution, try The Crippler.
IfeoluSeptember 12, 2014Great drinks, friendly bartenders, cool people, good music, and nice bar food!
🍚March 2, 2015Trendy WV bar. Romantic and nice. Go there with friends from out of town. They'll like it
Gianna NebbiaSeptember 14, 2022It’s nothing crazy but it’s a great place for a large group to meet up because there’s so much space.
One of my favorite bars in NY. The Moscow Mule is divine.
Aron WeingardAugust 11, 2014Good vibe, unique drinks and an older than immediately post college crowd! Great to go to with groups.
- Alex Cruz-LebrónAugust 20, 2017We felt a little too old when we realized the place was packed with college students, but I saw the Sashay Away drink & knew we had to stay for one drink. It didn't disappoint! Bit expensive, though.
John ThrasherJanuary 5, 2013The basement + low lighting makes this place mysterious in a very good way. The Crippler lives up to its name.
Saif DiaFebruary 27, 2017If brass monkey was an underground, slightly more upscale, cocktail bar, it would be this.
Saturday nights are the jam here!! Make sure you get here early so that you don't have to wait in line.
Rebecca YiJanuary 1, 2017Good place when you're meeting a larger crowd. They have a photo booth by the bathrooms!
Jany XuFebruary 2, 2013Great cheese and charcuterie plates. Yummy drinks. I prefer it normally and not the frat-party Saturday nights.
Steve KNovember 23, 2013Great seasonal beer ontap. We loved the Bronx Sirachi craft beer was Devine.
Free coat check! Try the Top Cat and The Derek Smalls. Screaming Greenie is a frozen slushy drink. It was a bit of acquired taste for me.
