Favorite cocktail bar of the night! The drinks were special and very good, definitely one of the better bars of nyc. There’s a long wait so you should put your name down before going for dinner/other bars while waiting.

Everything here was terrific. The atmosphere and the drinks. I will say, i am strictly writing this review due to some incredible service from my waitress, Amber. Amber was terrific with her recommendations and was a really fun waitress who you could tell loves what she does. When i come back here in the future, i can only hope that she will be my waitress again. Thanks Amber!

Came here for a post-dinner drink on a Sunday evening with my gf and one of her friends. We just kind of stumbled upon it, but it turned out to be a great discovery. Very nice vibes inside, basically like a speakeasy with mid-century modern decor. The drinks were all outstanding. I got the “as much as a duck” per the recommendation of our waitress and it was delicious. Noticed on the menu that it specifically said that this bar is not a pick-up spot - so for my gentlemen out there who are looking to meet some lovely ladies, this is not the place for you! (But once you do find one, bring her here on a date 🙂)

Amazing drinks! And they were having their anniversary menu when we went. I did reserve first and I think I wouldn’t have easily gotten a table if I hadn’t. The service was quick and the drinks outstanding! My friend and I really enjoyed them. We also ordered the cheese charcuterie. Quite small for the price but it works. The vibe is cozy and I think it’ll be a great date night place. This place has a bit of a history. Used to be a cafe, then turned into a cocktail bar. Bob Dylan and other musicians played here.

An excellent little cocktail bar with a ton of original cocktails. I think it was their anniversary but any of these stood up to anything I’ve had elsewhere. Immediately on my recommended list to any friends without question!

Cozy hidden gem with an incredible cocktail selection! This intimate bar offers a fantastic range of signature cocktails in a cozy setting. We came without a reservation and had to wait a bit, but thankfully there’s a warm and comfortable waiting area—perfect for a chilly night. I tried the “Tale of Thievery” cocktail, which was beautifully balanced with just the right touch of cinnamon—smooth and not overwhelmingly spicy. Despite being crowded, the space feels relaxed thanks to well-spaced tables that still allow for easy conversation. A must-visit for cocktail lovers

Back in the 1960’s Bob Dylan played here before being famous. This is a very hard bar to book reservations. So plan accordingly. Drinks are spectacular and specialized. Price are on the higher side but worth it.

Down for some cocktails? This is the place to look up (and up)! With a team of expert mixologists creating the menu, this cocktail lounge with a hint of speakeasy serves up a fantastic experience. Rarely have I seen such creative cocktails, and the flavors were all phenomenal. The food selection is scarce, but let’s be serious, this is the place to go AFTER a nice dinner somewhere else. That being said, we enjoyed the snacks. All told, I would recommend this any day to anyone.

Tried to go here on a weekend without reservations but the wait was far too long so we returned on a Monday evening as walk ins and were able to get a table (only had to wait 10-15 minutes). The atmosphere and ambiance was super lovely - great for a date night or intimate gathering with close friends. The cocktails definitely met my expectations and the server made our decision making process really easy. Overall, we had an awesome experience and I would go back for sure! One thing to note, this isn’t really a “speakeasy” like people are mentioning. The sign is on the door outside and you just walk down a few steps to get in. Make a reservation in advance if you can!

Cozy, humid, clean hole in the wall with great cocktails. No line on Friday night. Mixed crowd. Good for afterwork or after theater or after a show. Laid back. After my second "Curiosity killed the cat", the stuffiness of the air didn't bother me.

Underground bar with a cool atmosphere. Bartenders were super nice and drinks were good. No food but they did have seasoned popcorn! Got the Tajin seasoned popcorn and it definitely could’ve used more but it was still good. I’d try their truffle rosemary seasoning next time.

Nice hidden gem in the West Village. Nice dark ambiance and a solid list of creative cocktails.

I went with a few friends to grab drinks and it was an interesting experience. Going in with no context of the establishment, we were a bit overwhelmed by the massive artisenal drink menu. Our server was really attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly which was great because most of us needed some guidance on what to order or what version of our go-to drink was reflected on the creative menu. One of us didn't like the drink they ordered so they were able to send it back and just order nuts, but they found that the nuts were mainly peanuts and not the assortment that was advertised on the menu. They wouldve gotten popcorn had they known that lol. The weirdest part was that they had someone letting people in at the front door that basically had to sit/lean uncomfortably in the very small foyer and wait for people to buzz the gate. They oughta give him a chair or something, it just felt strange seeing someone confined to such a small space for hours. I did appreciate being in a bar without anyone approaching or trying to intrude our conversation. One of my friends noted that they even have a statement on their menu that says approaching people is basically discouraged, which is great & understandable for the vibe they're curating. Overall, if you're looking for a place with high-priced cocktails and a speakeasy-style that's relatively quiet - this is the spot.

"Born under a bad sign" - a must try on the cocktail list. Delicious! Unfortunately the initial table we booked had a "toilet smell" which the waiter was aware of and moved us - hopefully they sort that out soon as it's a small venue and was a bit disappointing for such an intimate speak easy bar.

I would say the drinks are amazing, the place is tightly controlled for table seating and they do not allow it to get crowded so book ahead. You can hear and chat and it is comfortable. It’s not really a food place but they have small snacks. The area is quite touristy so I was surprised how old school NY this felt given the trashie stuff outside! It’s kind of student land around there. It’s a gr we r little spot! Unexpected!

My new fav spot for inventive delicious cocktails !! This speakeasy vibe bar has been around for years and only till yesterday a co worker brought me here. Spacious and yet intimate, the lighting sets the moody on the english cottage like wallpaper. The playlist, not so much. We managed to just walk in on an early friday night. Love the concoctions but came across one that is very particular and we dont appreciates it as much and our server happily change to another drink and took it off the bill. Thank you guys ~ ~ !! Oh yes, last but not the least, you can have decent conversation. And no one is shouting at each other. Spot a lot of love birds in here.

Insanely good midori sour was mid at best. Ambience seemed cool. Just popped in for one drink. May come back and give it a second try

We were left to wait at the door for quite a long time. So much so that we thought it was closed. When brought inside, the menus were thrown onto the table. Quite the rude way to greet people. The female bartender was quite friendly and the drinks were amazing. Would I return...? probably not though.

Been here four times. $25 cocktails for the worst service ever. Only once did I feel like it was worth it. Last week I came in, took the server 15 minutes to get my friend and I a drink. With maybe twenty customers in the building. Only because I asked where he was. Had two empty glasses for ten minutes desperately wanting another round. Had to ask the bartender for the check. Hiring manager, do better. Losing so much profit.

tbh not great. Atmosphere could have been top notch. But not. There was a gross air freshnor spraying on us even after we asked the services about it. My drink was v opposite of what I asked for. The bar tender did swap out my drink for something better after I’m sure they saw my face. But all and all. Wouldn’t go back
