Bryan Hayslett
2 years agoDown for some cocktails? This is the place to look up (and up)! With a team of expert mixologists creating the menu, this cocktail lounge with a hint of speakeasy serves up a fantastic experience. Rarely have I seen such creative cocktails, and the flavors were all phenomenal. The food selection is scarce, but let’s be serious, this is the place to go AFTER a nice dinner somewhere else. That being said, we enjoyed the snacks. All told, I would recommend this any day to anyone.

year agoAmazing drinks! And they were having their anniversary menu when we went. I did reserve first and I think I wouldn’t have easily gotten a table if I hadn’t. The service was quick and the drinks outstanding! My friend and I really enjoyed them. We also ordered the cheese charcuterie. Quite small for the price but it works. The vibe is cozy and I think it’ll be a great date night place. This place has a bit of a history. Used to be a cafe, then turned into a cocktail bar. Bob Dylan and other musicians played here.

5 months agoI came to the village with my brother and came to the first bar I saw. The aesthetic, vibes, and ambiance really set the tone. We had the honor of being serve by Alejandro. His cocktail mixing skills, efficiency, professionalism, and conversation really brought the place to life for us. He was super kind and cool and made such tasty drinks for us. Thank you so much! We really appreciate the experience. ~ A very HAPPY customer x

6 months agoNice craft cocktail selection with a lot of variety. Light snacks were disappointing. Served in a to go container. They do have “house rules” where everyone in the party has to order drinks.

3 months agoGreat drinks and an upscale ambience. I ordered the Happy Trails- it's the best mocktail I've ever had. Great spot for a night out near the West Village!

5 months agoThe drinks here were phenomenal. The service was also top tier and worth the price. They mix flavors I never would’ve thought of and you can tell that they take pride in finding the drink that appeals to your taste. Very intimate vibe, great for a date night.
Mona Miller
3 weeks agoSuper fun bar, formally the famous “Gaslight Bar.” Very VERY excellent drinks. Pricey but honestly you feel like your dollar is well spent. Be sure to make a reservation as we had to come back the following day due to it being full. Service was excellent and the cheese platter was yummy.
