East Village, Manhattan · bar
Exposed brick lined with family photos and a reclaimed-wood bar give it a personal, slightly scrappy feel, but the menu swings wider. Ice-cold oysters next to cocktails that play with mezcal, fresh fruit, and house infusions. It shouldn’t fully add up, but it does once you’re in it. Walk-ins only, open late, and the kind of place that fills up fast and stays that way.
Raw bar selection — East and West Coast varieties, iced down, ordered by the piece.
Fresh green apple, jalapeño marmalade, smoked chili salt — not your usual marg.
Mezcal, blueberry compote, serrano honey, cilantro — earthy-sweet with slow burn.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
