    Solid cocktails and music, had a strange interaction with the bartender who tried to charge our friend 8$ for a Diet Coke, when the menu said 5$. Plain rude. Besides that, vibe and drinks are legit.

    The space is really nice but a bit over priced in my opinion. There was a F&B min to sit at a large table in the back. It seemed silly considering it was a Thursday night at 11pm and not crowded. I ordered from the bar and spent $27 on one espresso martini. It was a great drink but a pricey for what you get.

    We were a party of five. The place looks as if you traveled back in time. The vibes, the atmosphere, and the vinyl music are a great combo. All plates ordered were shared [sliders (3), duck fat fries, tuna tartare (5), charred carrots, grilled prawns (5), chicken karaage, skate schnitzel]. The favorites were: the sliders, which were extremely juicy and flavorful, the fries which came with a spicy ketchup and a garlic aioli, and the tuna tartare. The carrots and skate schnitzel were very underwhelming and flavorless. The grilled prawns are not really prawns. They are just medium-sized shrimp. The chicken karaage was good, but the sauce lacked a bit more flavor. The cocktails ordered were good and liked around the table. I will definitely recommend it and hope to go back.

    The ambiance and cocktails were great. I got the Know Your Demo cocktail with Roe & Co. The wagyu sliders and duck fat fries were delicious

    Great cocktails, consistently good DJs, unique atmosphere!One of the better spots in mid-town. Definitely a must try!

    Had a private event here to celebrate after my wedding ceremony with 28 people. The waitstaff and bartenders were so knowledgeable and personable. Their general manager, Flynn, went above and beyond to accommodate our group and made sure we were taken care of. They all went out of their way to make sure that we had a great night from the second we walked in.The atmosphere is magical here. Dimly lit, spacious (but also intimate with how the seating is arranged in certain areas), and carefully designed all around. The food was phenomenal (portion size was perfect), the drinks were delicious, and the music was great! Some of the favorites from our group: Food - The ribeye, lobster cocktail, and duck fat fries. Drinks - Target Audience and Brand Ambassador.Wishing this place all the success in the world. Agency of Record will always hold a special place in our hearts. Id recommend this place to anyone and cant wait to come back!

    Great spot with music, tasty apps and great drinks that were fun and creative. We went as part of a work event and loved it.

  • Review 8 (2024-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    An excellent addition to the midtown east area. Music is loud, but the vibe is great. Think clubby cocktail lounge. Drinks were great and food was surprisingly good as well. Really enjoyed the wagyu sliders and fries. Well be back.

    Cozy and romantic and live DJ all nights and great bartenders! LOVE!!

  • Review 10 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    A solid, beautiful bar/restaurant in midtown.Beautiful setting, nicely designed, accommodating, good food and good cocktails. The music was a tad bit too loud and the waiter put the default tip at 22% and was looking straight at the thing when paying. It’s the little things that made me shave off a star. I would’ve been happy to tip 22%… but I’d like to do that voluntarily when the default is 20%? Lol anyway, overall it was great and I’d be happen to return back. The tuna tartare was very good. As well as the duck fat fries.

    Great atmosphere, chill and easy to have conversations. Decent cocktails, attentive bartenders. Good location near Grand Central

  • Review 12 (2023-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Can’t say enough good things about this place. Drinks, food, ambiance, service: 10/10. A focused menu with no fluff is rare these days. We had the best time, and the way they built the ‘60s ad agency vibe into both the atmosphere and the menu is something other places should aspire to. Excellent.

  • Review 13 (2024-05-07 - Rating: 4)

    Vibes and decor were great. Can I say the drink was sizeable or satisfying enough to be $20? Debatable. As someone who works in advertising, I will give them immense credit for committing to the bit of naming their drinks after industry jargon.

  • Review 14 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere, fantastic bartender, delicious food, top tier alcohol selection. Definitely a gem in the neighborhood. Will definitely be back

  • Review 15 (2024-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect cocktails. Charming and seemingly authentic decor - nothing feels forced. The team is lovely as well. I hope it becomes a stable.

  • Review 16 (2024-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktails ( I enjoyed the bourbon with berries cocktail a little too much) plus the grilled prawns were awesome. Bartender was really cool, offered some free dessert which was nice.

  • Review 17 (2024-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot in midtown. Drew the bartender was awesome. Knowledgeable and made great drinks. I recommend the Mezcalum Old Fashioned. 10/10

    Super cool place. A must bar to visit for cocktails

  • Review 19 (2023-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent service, great music, great food, and decent drinks (maybe a bit syrup-forward). Overall five stars for the area!

  • Review 20 (2024-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    SUCHHHH good food, amazing service, & delicious cocktails! Only thing is, the smell from the kitchen is a bit overwhelming & we left smelling like fried fish. 10/10 experience otherwise!!!

  • Review 28 (2024-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely incredible new spot! We hosted our engagement party here, and it was PERFECT. The space is beautifully decorated (even the cool bathroom!) with a fun retro theme. Amazing attentive service from coat check to bartenders; they set us up well and tended to every need. All of our guests told us the cocktails were delicious; and the menu has something for everyone. Loved the duck fat fries. Their music is a real highlight: the DJ brings great energy. So glad to have such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood, and already can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend hosting events here too—everyone was so impressed.

  • Review 29 (2024-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    I hosted a private event here and could not have been more pleased. The overall vibe, specialty drinks, service and food were top notch. I actually shared the success of the evening with my entire company and encouraged them to host similar events with their clients. My clients could not stop raving about the atmosphere, food, drinks and our own personal mixologist. Cant wait to be back soon.

    Worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood! The drinks and the decor were both nice, but didn’t wow. Service was friendly and fast.

  • Review 33 (2024-04-25 - Rating: 5)

    Super chill vibes, great music on Wednesdays! Perfect for a low-key date night, or catching up with a friend

    The staff is wonderful

  • Review 45 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    Potentially perfect environment but penalized by too high costs, which doesnt allow you to spend a lot of time there without going out with 300 dollars for a few drinks and consequently finding a place that is almost always semi-empty despite the good quality of DJ selection. Top food and drinks.
