Lower East Side, Manhattan · bar
The bar that invented the lychee martini. They've served over 1.5 million of the signature Vietnamese drink since 2001, and it's still the thing everyone orders first. Seventeen-foot ceilings and minimalist decor make it feel like a proper lounge, and the Southeast Asian small plates keep the crowd around past midnight.
Avocado, green apple, grape tomatoes in sesame oil with lychee-lime dressing.
House sangria made with Southeast Asian-inspired flavors. A crowd staple.
The original lychee martini — Verlaine invented it in 2001 and they serve 10k/mo.
Happy hour runs Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
