U.S. Bartender of the Year Takuma Watanabe takes over The Rose Club at The Plaza for a three-night residency September 16-18, uniting Martiny's, L'Americana and Midnight Blue on one six-cocktail menu. The lineup includes his Vesper Martini crafted for New York Cocktail Company.
A hushed, jewel-box cocktail den tucked into Gramercy, where the drinks are treated with near-surgical precision and the room barely rises above a murmur. Japanese bartending discipline meets New York intimacy. Every stir, strain, and ice cube feels intentional. It’s small, serene, and deeply adult, the kind of place where you sit up straighter without meaning to. Come for a masterclass in balance, stay because leaving would break the spell.
Nikka whiskey, matcha, cacao, and coconut water.
Clarified blend of whiskey, tomato water, basil, lime, and milk.
Gin, sherry, port, and cognac garnished with a grape.
