“Really great atmosphere. We had a 6pm rez and the maitre'd was able to get us a front and center bar seat. Delighted there was a great Happy Hour menu. The drinks were good, food solid, and the music most memorably was amazing. A very Tokyo record bar vibe. I spent half my time Shazaming the tracks. Would def go back. Wonderfully friendly service.”
“In between two restaurants, youll see a sign above a hallway go all the way back and entrance is behind this plastic curtain (video attached). Had the tomato martini and it was so good. Honestly up there with the famous martinis I had at Holbrook house. Cool japanese record bar vibes. The place was pretty packed on wednesday night! Great service, everyone was super friendly and helpful with suggestions.”
“What a wonderful find! NBetween is located in Chelsea Market via the side entrance. I initially saw photos online and wasn't convinced this was a spot for date night. Still, I went. When I got inside, my mind changed quickly. Here's my review in order of importance: Would I go back? Yes! And I can't wait. I want to go back for date night, to try more of the food and drinks on the menu, and I think this place would also be amazing for a girls nights. The Vibe Oh the vibe. The vibe was incredible. Beautiful dim lighting, surrounded by vinyls, close seating at the bar for date night, the DJ spinning the BEST tunes in the corner. I loved it. No one was dancing, but I feel like if you needed to bust a quick move you could. Service The bartender quickly came over and provided us with menus. We engaged him in conversation about the different tequilas and gins they offered. Both bartenders were very attentive throughout the evening. Food & Drinks We ordered the hamburger and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. The bartender made and INCREDIBLE Gin and Tonic with a twist of lemon and the Cafe Cafe was quite good. Sometimes I'm hesitant to try different versions of espresso martini's but this was delicious. Arrival Security was kind and let us know to inform the hostess that we had a reservation. We entered and informed the hostess who said we were early and the table we would sit at was closing the bill. No problem for us! We were willing to wait. One of the servers also came over and offered to hang our coats up which was needed! Seating While we waited for a table, the hostess informed us that we could sit at the bar for dinner as two seats opened up. We decided to do that. Please note: Most of the seating does not have back support, so make sure you are keeping those abs tight.”
“Loved loved loved this place. The vibes were amazing and the staff was so nice, friendly, and helpful. We got the Peach Episode and Time After Time drinks, plus the gyudon and calamari. Everything was delicious, and the drinks were especially good. Cute atmosphere and a perfect spot for a night out.”
“The cocktail menu sounded better than how the cocktail tasted. The atmosphere was very energetic with the decor that reminded me of an izakaya in Japan. Although we didn’t have a reservation, the host was happy to find a table for the four of us. However, the server was not the friendliest. When we asked to return a drink because it didn’t taste good, she made us feel like we were being unreasonable. Now onto the drink, for someone that frequents cocktail bars and speakeasies, I wasn’t able to visualize what the cocktail would be based on the listed ingredients. And none of the drinks came out as expected and definitely not a bar that I would return to again.”
