The Ripple Room

Cozy and massive at the same time. This bar has great baseline cocktails available with a ludicrous amount of space for this neighborhood. With an upstairs and downstairs there is so much room to spread out. The seating is comfortable and each floor as a pool table. The bottom floor has a cozier, dark wood finished vibe. The upstairs is slightly brighter but both are candle lit. The bartenders are polite and professional while making quality drinks with decent liquor options. Really enjoyed my visit.

A great spot in LES to grab drinks, hang out, and chill with friends. The space is large, with two levels and plenty of seating for big groups. There are also pool tables for you to play at! Drinks here aren't bad and I love their espresso martinis.

Warm atmosphere with great music choices and charismatic staff. Definitely a 10/10 hangout spot with nice drinks and the iconic Photo Booth.

Spontaneously visited after a show. Immaculate vibes. Abraham was so so sweet, we asked him to create a mystery cocktail and it was delicious!

Absolutely beautiful and unique. Nothing else like it in the city, awesome vibe. Expansive menu with great cocktails. Tons of comfortable seating with bar stools and group tables (2 floors) and pool tables. Gender neutral bathrooms. #gem

A great place that has its own vibes. From the lighting, decoration to the service. This place offers variety of drinks, two pool tables, lots of restrooms.

Beautiful night, I came with a girlfriend and got the best attention, treatment ever. The bartender (tintin) was a badass that got the job done. Drinks were great and ambiance was a+.

Just found this neighborhood gem - amazing design, excellent cocktails, friendly, professional bartenders. Gives off seventies disco energy which coincidentally rhymes the best bartender , Cisco.

The drinks were great, the atmosphere was clean and the vibe was perfect!

Beautiful bar with a cute Photo Booth! Would come back again when it’s a bit busier

From my first time coming here, the staff here has been great to me and all the people I brought. Big shout out to this phenomenal woman Leah, who always finds a way to make everyone feel seen and included.

Easily one of the coolest bars I've been to! A great place to start the night off at, I came here with a few of my friends and we each ordered cocktails. The service is great and the vibes are unmatched! Looking forward to coming back!

Reminds me of a combination of carousal bar in Brooklyn and flower shop bar in the lower had a baby. But like a big baby!! This place is huge which is great, but gets packed so try to get there earlier. The bartenders and staff are all AMAZING. Friendly and attentive. Leah at the door was helping everything move smoothly and enhanced our experience a ton. Would definitely come back here and maybe reserve a space!!

If you're looking for a cool spot to grab drinks in the Lower East Side, definitely check out The Ripple Room. It's got a great vibe--kind of retro but still sleek and modern. The place has two floors, which is awesome because downstairs feels more chill and loungey, while upstairs turns into a bit more of a party later in the night. The cocktails are super creative (some really unexpected flavors in the mix), and they don't skimp on quality. You'll find unique drinks alongside some solid classics. Service is great too--bartenders are friendly, fast, and know what they're doing. The crowd is a nice mix--fun, stylish, but not overly pretentious. It gets lively but not in a way that feels overwhelming. Overall, The Ripple Room is a great spot whether you're starting the night or looking for a place to settle in for a while. It feels like one of those bars you'll end up coming back to--good drinks, good energy, good people.

What's cool space! Two floors, warm lighting, two pool tables, lounge couches, booth seating, two huge bars, a small but tasty bar snack menu, great drinks, very very busy, but so much fun. Eclectic LES crowd.

Amazing experience! So much fun. Josh the bartender is such a friendly, enigmatic guy and makes amazing cocktails. 🔥 He made sure my friends and I had the absolute best time on a busy and lit Saturday night! 10/10. Thank you Josh and the entire The Ripple Room team.

Great space and lovely interior vibes on both levels. Single stall bathrooms are a plus! Only sad thing was the upstairs mini pool table and cues…but the downstairs table was 👍🏼

Great bar on the weeknights when it's not crowded. Only issue is if you're sitting at the bar, you've gotta listen to the bouncer popping his gum and listening to tiktok videos at full blast. Other than that, hard to beat $6 draft beers for hh.

They can’t pour a good Guinness here. It’s vibey here but I don’t trust a place that can’t pour a proper Guinness

Beautiful bar but received awful service from one of the bartenders (blonde woman). Who wasn’t only rude to our group but to other patrons as well in multiple instances. Eventually our whole group went to the bar upstairs because it felt like she was trying to pick a fight with every interaction.

I was speaking to one of the security guards about how long the line would be until this woman who claimed to be the manager who was obviously under the influence and interrupted us and told us to leave if we didn’t have a reservation. She seemed very intoxicated and was stumbling around and yelling at us to leave. I have no reason to post this but I would like everyone to know how this establishment allows this type of management and how they treat people who are only asking questions.

Last night we were celebrating my friend’s birthday here when he suddenly slipped on the stairs because they were wet. Instead of checking if he was okay, security immediately forced him out. The security guard was extremely rude and aggressive, even ripping his vest in the process. They kept insisting he slipped because he was drunk, but right after the incident they started cleaning the stairs, which clearly shows they were wet. This used to be his favorite place, but after the way he was treated, we definitely won’t be coming back.

The Ripple Bar was hands down the worst bar I’ve ever been to. The security staff did a terrible job managing the crowd, letting certain people go upstairs while everyone else waited over 20 minutes with no explanation. It was clear they were more focused on bringing girls upstairs than actually taking care of customers. To make things worse, there was broken glass on the floor that took forever to get cleaned up, which shows how little they care about safety or customer experience. The drinks themselves weren’t bad, but everything else about this place was a complete disappointment. Overall, The Ripple Bar is unorganized, unprofessional, and not worth your time. I would never recommend this place to anyone, you’re definitely not missing out
