Good atmosphere just like you see on old movies. Bartenders and waiters are very friendly and attentive. Cocktails are delicious. They only serve bar food but they are quite tasty. If you are staying the attached hotel, Iroquois, it worth trying.
Great cocktail bar! The drinks were amazing and prepared with fresh ingredients and care. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and watch the bartenders at work. They really put in the extra effort and are passionate about their work. During my stay in the hotel I got to meet Natalia, Daniel and Gus. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the cocktails. You can also order small bites at the bar. I recommend the cheese plate. Excellent. Can’t wait to go back.
Cute small bar, perfect for a craft cocktail with a friend or a lover :) cheese platter was great for 2! Loved my cucumber mixture as well. We both loved the experience.
This was our second visit here and our bartender on 10/12/24 was fantastic. He made me two bespoke cocktails as variations of an old fashioned/vieux carre. They were tasty. He and the server were also very attentive and checked in to see if everything was okay.
This was such a cute place. It's sucked away behind the front desk of the Iroquois hotel. We came here before heading to our broadway show. We tried the keepers choice drink where you tell the bar tender what alcohol you want and the flavor and they'll come up with something. Both times he came up with some Great drinks!! We also had the cheese plate which had a great selection. And the butter jam was so delicious!!
Great unique cocktails and nice ambiance. Love the glass rooftop and the speakeasy vibe from this place. All the cocktails are well balanced and tasty.
Awesome hand-crafted cocktails in a small, dark, & comfortable space by The Sofitel. We were super lucky that a group was leaving as we entered. Great service & great music playing too! The McKittrick Old Fashioned was amazing & the West Side Rumble was really good as well. They had a small selection of wine & beer also. If you're nearby & love good cocktails, make sure to try to get in here!
Very cute hidden bar in Midtown. Perfect location for a quiet intimate date. The cocktails are really good.
