Along with our cocktail program, our food menu is a killer, butcher-cut hot dog and parmesan truffle popcorn. We offer other small bites on a rotating basis.
“Really cozy spot for a drink or two. Nice bartenders and a great mix of classic cocktails and their own developed drinks. Plus a couple good NA ones as well. The popcorn is a decent amount too which is really nice.”
“My favorite cocktail place in LES. Not your basic drinks, the bartenders here are true mixologists. Every drink I’ve had here is superb! They don’t really have many food options though, so don’t go hungry. Oh, and they also added mocktails to their menu! The Rent Party is so delicious and tastes like a real cocktail.”
“One of the best cocktail bars in NYC in term of quality to hassle ratio. The cocktails and vibe are great and you can usually decide to go the day of (no 1+ hour wait or reservation made 2 weeks in advance required). A great go to place in the LES.”
“This is such a great bar. I loved the ambiance and vibe of the place - it's a small place but they have done a great job with the seating and interior design so it feels like you have a lot of privacy. Great date night vibes with the dim lighting and snug seating. I loved the drinks - there were so many drinks I wanted to try from the menu and I'm sad I couldn't try more. We got the "Nobodoy's Lady" and "Person of Interest" - we loved them both. The first was salty and well balanced and the latter was refreshing and fruity. We also got their popcorn - they were okay, I probably wouldn't get them again I will definitely come back to try more of their drinks!”
“The atmosphere was absolutely lovely—calm and cozy for a Sunday night, with perfect lighting that set the mood. It’s a great place for group gatherings or dates, and the drinks were decent. That said, I gave this experience two stars for a few reasons. When we arrived, no one checked us in, so my reservation didn’t count, and the system marked me as a no-show. Even though the place wasn’t busy, the drinks took a surprisingly long time to arrive, and the overall service felt slow. What stood out most was the bartender’s behavior toward the end. Despite me being clearly drunk, he offered me another shot, which didn’t feel appropriate. To top it off, he selected a 25% tip option for us at checkout without asking, which seemed unnecessary and pushy. Unfortunately, because of these issues, my friend and I don’t plan on coming back.”
