It was calm and nice to have conversations in, and drinks were high end too

Walk in only, so I the wait time really varies a lot

Been trying to check this place for awhile and I'm so glad I was finally able to come! My friend and I walked in around 8ish on a Tuesday night and we only had to wait about like 20 minutes to get seated. I loved the darker ambiance with comfier booth seats + bar seats. The server seated us and told us where the bathroom was, which was good to know beforehand.

Even the menu was really pretty and was good to have as a prop when taking pics of the cocktails. The lighting was just the right amount to take pics of the decoration behind the bar + the drinks using night mode!

I loved how extensive the menu was, organized based on their hard liquor base (gin/tequila/vodka/etc). There were so many unique cocktails with the touch of Japanese flavors/fruits which we loved!

It doesn't get too loud so you can hear each other well. The table behind us was being really loud and it was bothering us, but before we had to say anything a waitress came to ask them to lower their volume which we appreciated b/c it was affecting our experience and the vibe of the place.

Would definitely come back here to try other cocktails!!

I've been to all of their old locations and this one is definitely the most fancy.

Very spacious and because there is more seating, you don't have to wait hours for a seat.

I love their Flirty Bird. There was a butter wash whiskey drink that is no longer on the menu. I highly recommend this place because some of the best cocktails you'll have in the city. Stop by for pizza around the neighborhood before or after!

It's a bit pricey... which is my only negative about this place

Classic fun but upscale speakeasy vibe. Excellent service. Servers refilled our waters every few minutes and never let empty dishes and glasses sit idle for long. The highlight is the fantastic unique cocktails that are both delicious and elegantly presented. Definitely some of the best drinks I've ever had. The only negative is the food: overpriced and underwhelming. Would definitely come back for drinks.

4.5 The infamous NYC bar that supposedly got worse post COVID. Unfortunately I don't have a pre and post comparison but as someone who has basically drank thru NYC, the drinks here are very good. I am a huge fan of Japanese inspired cocktails. I love love love the Painted Paradise (clarified milk punch) and also got the Flirtibird (so suitable for the flirty bird herself ;)). Ambiance-wise, it is dark and intimate with an understated elegance. There's some refined yet unpretentious charm. It's date appropriate but probably try to go early Sunday-Wed (?). I went Thursday 6:30pm and it felt loud (a lil tiring to talk over the noise). Dim enough for canoodling if you so wish ;) Unfortunately they do not take res so either come early or make a game time decision. FYI it was full at Thurs 630pm. Normally priced for NYC bars ($22/23 / drink) so don't worry about being up-charged for the Japanese inspiration (e.g., Martiny's, Sip and Guzzle).

This is a really cool place, but I'm not a huge fan of the overly experimental drinks just for the sake of being unique. The Fever was good, but the Parmesan foam on top was unbearably stinky. It didn't taste bad, but having to smell Parmesan every time I took a sip of an otherwise fruity drink was not pleasant. Good service, edamame was WAY too salty.

DCP and Dante can step aside because this is the best cocktail bar in the city (I said what I said :')). Loved the variety of drink options and the unique flavor combos!

We walked in on a Thursday evening and got seated as a party of 4 within 5 mins which was nice! It doesn't get too loud and the decor was funny! Overall I loved this place and want to go back!!

I have been chasing this speakeasy bar as it has been in my list of bars to try. I finally got to experience the establishment after it closed on the East Village and then opening a pop up in Hotel Eventi.

I came with a buddy on a Saturday evening. There was a line outside, but not super long, so about a 15 minute wait max? Upon entering, we were asked if we wanted to check our coats, which we deferred. Once a table was available, someone from the main room would pop up from another closed door to lead us to our table. This was only 8PM and this place was packed.

I ordered a few different drinks to try.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes ($23) - My buddy got this drink and the presentation was on point. A nice smoky whisky drink.
Take You There ($23) - A whisky drink with a curry taste to it. Super unique and it was done surprisingly well.
Buena Vista ($21) - I wanted to get a mezcal mixed cocktail and is was this or Serenade. Both weren't very appealing to me, but I ended up trying this one and regretted getting it. Because tonic water was one of the ingredients, this for sure tasted bland and the mezcal taste was heavily muted. I would say it's very watered down, but one of the ingredients is tonic water, so not sure what they're trying to do here.

Loved all the drinks!

Was in the area with a coworker in town and found that this placed had reopened in west village. We decided to check it out. When you pass by, the entrance is the set of stairs that go down next to the building with the numbered address. That would be the waiting room. The line starts outside and once you add your name they run through so don't leave and come back to miss your spot. We waited about 30ish min for a group of 3. Parties of 2 are easier as they have a faster turnover. The venue is medium sized.

For drinks I don't think you could go wrong. I got the papaya and friends (tequila based) as well as take you there (whiskey based). Both drinks were easy to drink and smooth. However, pricewise they are more expensive than I remember previously. It's a good place to get lounge with some friends and explore some new cocktails.

My favorite bar in NYC right now. There are no reservations and you can't just put your name down and explore the neighborhood. When you get there, you just wait in line and hope a spot opens up. Luckily, my group of four only had to wait 5 minutes. Parties of two were waiting at least 30 minutes on the day I went.

My friends and I decided to get two rounds of drinks since we loved the first round so much. We tried a good variety, and all of them were quite delicious. We tend to choose cocktails where the alcohol is more masked. Drink highlights for me were the painted paradise and street scene. The painted paradise was a lighter drink but really packed a punch in flavor. The matcha foam on street scene was creamy and strong in matcha.

The waiter said that they're going to change their seasonal drinks in a few weeks. Excited to come back to try them.
