The Last Resort

This new place is really unique and cool for the area! The bartender Luke is awesome!! I’ll Definitely stop by more as I’m just down the street!

Great place to host an event / rent out the venue. Welcoming and nice staff who provided access to not only Bluetooth but also the TV (to watch football).

If you're ever in the East Village and looking for an unforgettable bar experience, make your way to The Last Resort to see Alex Kilgore. Alex is nothing short of a cocktail magician, capable of liquid masterpieces. Each drink crafted with precision and creativity, showcase his deep knowledge and passion for mixology. From the moment you sit at the bar, Alex's warm and welcoming demeanor makes you feel right at home. He takes the time to understand your tastes, with personalized recommendations that never miss the mark. Beyond his technical skills, Alex's engaging storytelling and genuine enthusiasm for his craft create an atmosphere that's both lively and relaxing.

Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, Alex's expertise and charisma ensure an exceptional experience. On another note, it’s important to critically evaluate the reliability of information sources, and unfortunately, Dylan Ma, the man who left the one star review, has shown himself to be inconsistent and unreliable. Dylan has provided information that lacks proper verification and is often based on hearsay rather than fact. This tendency to spread unsubstantiated claims undermines his credibility and calls into question the accuracy of anything he shares. In discussions where accuracy and trust are paramount, it's advisable to seek out sources with a proven track record of reliability and integrity. Given Dylan's history of misinformation, relying on his input could lead to misunderstandings or misinformed decisions.

Alex S. is hands down one of NYC’s best cocktail bartenders! Last Resort is an incredible neighborhood bar with outstanding cocktails, friendly service, and incredible live music every Tuesday night. One of the East Village’s best kept secrets.

The Last Resort in the East Village is a hidden gem that blends the charm of a classic dive bar with the warmth of a cozy cocktail lounge.

We are industry, and neighborhood people and we have been stopping in to The Last Resort lately because Alex is a star bartender. He gets the business of bar hospitality. He is the style and look and creates an atmosphere of neighborhood cool. At the same time - makes an excellent drink while running a bar like a pro. We love it!

Always a good time at the Last Resort!! We live in the neighborhood and it’s one of our favs. Such a fun, chill spot with great atmosphere and drinks. Bartenders Alex and Bubs are the best! Definitely recommend

Great relatively new local spot in the East Village. Super chill, no TVs, cozy back table area, very reasonable prices. Would be good for a date night, reading, writing, coding, or casual conversation.

Evie Rosheger

Wow, easily the best gin fizz I’ve ever had! Alex was a treat to hang out with. Will be coming back asap!!

David Marsh

Amazing spot, clean bar, clean bathrooms, booths for small groups, horse shoe bar for good company and amazing bartenders and cheap drinks! a great addition to the neighborhood that’s not a gimmick or overrun with NYU students.

Natalie Steger

Such a great bar! Great service, knowledgable bartenders and our new favorite bar when working in the city. Josh was my bartender and he rocks! Can't wait to come back!

Love my new local watering hole. Definitely a spot to come and hang out, chat with the neighbors and the friendly bartenders. They should do themed nights/parties; looking forward to what they come up with!

Wow, what a horrible experience. I went here last Sunday 11/2 marathon day and I just now looked at my credit card statement and am in disbelief. I bought a round of shots for me and friends it was 100$, and I left a CASH TIP. Today I see I was charged 20$ for an additional tip that I did not authorize. This is illegal and clearly these bartenders do not care about breaking the law. Avoid this establishment at ALL costs. Owner replied and claims there was an automatic 20% tip. Thats odd because no where on the bill did it say that. BEWARE

Alex K, is straight up the rudest bartender I’ve ever encountered in NYC. Did nothing to him the whole night but gave me attitude the whole night. Got my order wrong multiple times and still gave me attitude. Stay away from this bar if you’re looking for hospitality. Even declined my tip when I ordered some water.
