East Village, Manhattan · bar
An East Village cocktail bar that dresses like a glossy 1970s lounge and drinks like it has something to prove. The room glows in warm tones, the crowd leans fun-but-competent, and the martinis arrive icy and unapologetic. It’s equal parts neighborhood hang and low-key party, where the music nudges you toward a second round before you’ve finished the first. Come for a “quick one,” leave slightly buzzed and very pleased with yourself.
Crispy fried chicken drizzled with habanero and black truffle honey.
Rye whiskey, olive oil, buckwheat, coffee, and absinthe.
Habanero, salted watermelon, lime, and agave spirits in a spicy riff.
