Madeline's Martini

“The most memorable thing here for me was the music. Whichever DJ was playing those groovy and funky tracks, bring them back again. It's a fun and intimate space, pleasantly more elevated than you would think from the unassuming entrance. Definitely a recent favorite discovery.”

“I visited three cocktail bars during my time in NY, and this one easily takes the cake! It had everything I love—comfortable and beautiful furniture, an amazing ambiance, friendly service, a DJ spinning vibey R&B, and top-notch martinis. I started with an espresso martini that was perfectly frothy and not too sweet. Then I tried a lychee martini, which was deliciously tart—exactly how I like my drinks. I was tempted to go for a third, but I figured I’d better stop while I was ahead! I would return in a heartbeat. The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable, yet you still feel like it’s an occasion to get dolled up.”

“The ambiance and mysterious vibes made me fall in love with this place. I went on a Wednesday and it was cool. The Bartenders were so amicable and gave me great advice on my first Martini ever. If you go, try the Lychee Martini !”

“Cool speak easy / hidden type bar. Look out for the “mm” on the street on a wall of graffiti. Wide cocktail + wine collection. Super groovy / modern cocktail vibes inside. The server wasn’t very observant / good at social cues — she took away the menu and then asked for the order. Is this a quiz? But I like the spot. Music is too loud for convos / not loud enough for dancing, an awkward middle. The bar tender was really into his life and that was good energy.”

“Overall rating: 4.3 So originally when I made the reso on Resy weeks in advance, I made it on the wrong day (Thursday). By the time I realized, there weren’t any spots available on the night I wanted (Wednesday). A week before or so, I get notified that a spot is available when it opened. Great. Well when we got there, I was nervous on not being on time bc of how hard it was to get a reso. But they weren’t actually opening until 7:30 or so, even tho our reso was 7-7:15. Then when we got in, there was no one there. In fact, there was no else there until 2-3 groups came in around 8 or so, and even then there was plenty of space. All this to say, ignore the “packed reservations” on Resy & just walk-in. That was some unnecessary stress. It was very dark inside and the martinis were very good! But I literally couldn’t see anything at 7:30pm on a Wednesday. I needed the candle for everything 😅 I want to come back during night time, as I think it would be more my scene. Recommend trying for nights on Fri, Sat. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem worth it to me. Also 2 martinis were ~$46 including tip.”
