“An extremely cool cocktail bar in NOHO! Delish drinks, kind and lovely bartenders and the pricing is fair for the quality! Didn’t have any food but it looks good. Dark and cozy, perfect for dates, but wouldn’t bring more than 2-4 people here. Def coming back.”
“Yawning Cobra is a hidden, lower-level cocktail bar beneath Bowery that feels like a true Manhattan secret. The moment you walk in, you’re met with a moody, intimate atmosphere that instantly sets the tone for a refined night out. I ordered the Tao Pie Pie an apple-cinnamon cocktail crowned with a luxuriously thick egg foam. It was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, with warming spice and a creamy finish that made it feel both indulgent and elegant. My friend ordered the Green Grass of Home, a matcha-infused whiskey cocktail that was just as memorable. Earthy, smooth, and beautifully presented, it struck a perfect balance between bold whiskey notes and subtle green tea depth. What truly makes Yawning Cobra stand out is the level of craftsmanship. Everyone behind the bar is a genuine mixologist, carefully building cocktails with precision, creativity, and care. Each drink is visually stunning and thoughtfully composed, making the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. If you appreciate high-quality cocktails, unique flavor profiles, and intimate hidden bars, Yawning Cobra is absolutely worth visiting. Classy, creative, and beautifully executed. 🐍🍸✨”
“We came as a group of four and ended up trying 10 cocktails in total. Overall, it was a mixed experience. The star of the night was Green Grass of Home. The smoky matcha flavor is something I’ve never had anywhere else. It’s unique and definitely worth ordering. We also really enjoyed Supar SAIYAJIN, Open Sesame, and Star Negroni. These four were the standouts. But out of the 10 drinks, only 4 were great. The rest were not very impressive, a bit forgettable, and some of the flavor combinations didn’t land. As for the vibe, the space itself feels like it’s supposed to have a softer, more relaxed tone, and at first it did. But the noise level was pretty high and the music got very loud toward the end, which made it less enjoyable. Visually, the atmosphere is great, but it’s definitely on the louder side.”
