    Stunning creative and delicious cocktails keep me coming back to Reception Bar on a night out! There has not been a miss on their menu for us!5/5 Cereal Milk5/5 Matcha Meadow5/5 Lotus Breeze4.5/5 Yuja 88There may be a bit of a wait on a weekend, but I personally do not mind the standing tables while waiting for seating inside. Love the lively ambiance here, great for a night out with friends or a date!

    They kept me going during quarantine days. I would come by on my walks and order their Asian version of a mulled wine to sip on in the cold, then chat a bit with the staff and get some human interaction. They had dog food on hand to feed the neighborhood dogs and I got to join in.I need them to bring back the mulled wine. Its so good and Ive been checking every winter to see if they have it!

    Highly recommend this bar. I have been three times, so far. Exceptional mixing and creativity. One of a kind balance of warm atmosphere and style. The staff were genuine and welcoming. Its obvious they care about what they do. I had the Smokes and Incheon cocktails, which were perfect, as well as delicious pork mandu.

    Fun place for a drink before heading out for dinner or an event. It was packed but we were still seated quickly and the bartenders roaming around were really quick and helpful with recommendations. The drinks are creative and delicious - we tried 4 different ones as a group and liked them all. It is a bit cramped and pricey, but otherwise worth checking out.

  • Review 5 (2023-03-17 - Rating: 4)

    This trendy bar was packed to the gills on my Saturday visit, and the induced migration from tiny table to tiny table while we waited for seats was a little confusing. The cocktails were delicious, though. In the end, it wasnt the most comfortable bar experience - the space was sticky and humid despite near-freezing temps outside and the volume was just too loud to hear my partner immediately beside me.

  • Review 6 (2022-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Caught some vibes here, highly recommended! Keep in mind all the drinks are soju based for the most part. They also have house-infused flavored soju with like 8 different flavors.

  • Review 7 (2023-11-08 - Rating: 4)

    Really cute, aesthetic bar. Nice for casual hangs or date. Also great if you want to grab a drink but dont want strong drinks since theyre mainly soju based.

  • Review 8 (2024-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    The place is very esthetic.Very quietWhen it gets late they turn the music up but not much so u can still speak.The cocktails are cute.And the service was great

  • Review 9 (2022-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    Vibes are zen, service is excellent, drinks are strong except you’d never be able to tell. A very unique concept and a complete gem. My friends and I loved every single cocktail we got - my personal favorite was Incheon, which tasted like a strawberry milkshake. Drinks never flowed so easily :)

  • Review 10 (2019-03-16 - Rating: 5)

    This would be a great place for a date. It’s a pretty intimate space. It being a soju cocktail is unique and is kind of refreshing. The bartenders are very attentive and pay a lot of care with each drink. For $14 they are a steal in terms of flavor balance and uniqueness. We came on a Friday night around 8:30 and it was full but not crowded. If you’re like in you’re late twenties early thirties and just leaving the house on a Friday night is kind of a chore, this is a great place to leave for. I won’t have to yell. You’ll get a nice buzz. You’ll feel like a grownup who is still fun.

  • Review 11 (2023-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    Ordered two drinks: Matcha Meadow and Smokes; both were excellent.Creative cocktails mostly using Soju, a Korean liquor.Cute marble bar. I would recommend trying!

  • Review 12 (2023-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    They have a variety of flavored soju and cocktails based off those soju.The vibes are great here!

    🇰🇷 Loved this Korean cocktail bar🍹Cocktails were excellent🪑 If just 2 people, prefer sitting at the bar✨ Authentic cool vibe

  • Review 14 (2021-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    Loved the vibe, the infused soju, and the bartenders. The melon dew was a favourite. Highly recommend this spot!

  • Review 15 (2022-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of the best cocktail bars and bar experiences Ive had in a long time! Every single cocktail my friend and I had was delicious and exciting (we wanted to try all of em and if this spot had a sample package Id have bought it). The decor is gorgeous. One of the bartenders did such a great job keeping track of who all standing arrived first and called them over for seats at the bar, in spite of it being so busy. The crowd was pretty cool too. Highly recommend 👍🏿

  • Review 16 (2023-10-10 - Rating: 4)

    Really cool place with great soju cocktails, chic vibes and good music. The staff is always super helpful —theyve managed to accommodate our group of 5 in several occasions.

  • Review 17 (2023-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Venturing into the world of Korean-inspired cocktails at this reception bar was an adventure in itself.Infused with distinct Korean spices, each cocktail boasted an exuberant, yet light and invigorating taste, painting an unmistakably Asian flavor palette.While the menu was compact, it was a treasure trove of unique concoctions. The bar exuded a charmingly unpretentious ambiance, albeit slightly marred by smudged and weathered menus, giving it an endearing, rustic feel.Exploring this space was a delightfully curious experience for us. However, the service, although possibly attributed to the opening phase, felt a tad neglectful and somewhat distant.Nonetheless, the allure of the place and the captivating flavors of the beverages made our visit intriguing and worthwhile.

  • Review 18 (2024-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Lots o soj cocktail options and circles 🍸

  • Review 19 (2022-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    Very beautiful interior design. Tasty cocktails. Good vibes.

  • Review 20 (2022-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing place to check out great architecture, good music and GREAT drinks. We were served by the same person both times and she was very good. Fancy but nonchalant at the same time - crowd is very fit but definitely on the cooler side. All drinks are $14 and have all different flavors with overall great quality. It’s a place to go often.

  • Review 21 (2021-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Chill vibe and amazing drinks. If youre tired of getting the same old American cocktails, definitely try this place. They have really creative, delicious Asian flavors infused in their cocktails. Cant taste the alcohol at all, but definitely packs a punch. New favorite bar!

  • Review 22 (2024-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Best bar in the LES!!! Shout-out to the staff because they are amazing.

  • Review 23 (2024-10-01 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 24 (2023-09-30 - Rating: 4)

    Great vibes. Perfect for groups. Indoor and outdoor seating. Some bar bites

  • Review 25 (2021-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Super small intimate vibes with honestly incredible drinks. I love the Asian influenced flavors! Was OBSESSED with lotus breeze and devil wood bloom. Osmanthus Soju was so different! Def recommend for something special and low key (soju won’t get you very far ya know?).Not great for groups bigger than 4. Moody lighting, dark, modern mid century design inside. We went at night around 10, was full inside so we sat outside with the heat lamps. My group was 7, and they were able to accommodate!

  • Review 26 (2023-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    Came here with some friends on a Friday night. It was very busy but the staff made an effort to move us to better seats when available - so we started standing, but then eventually got moved to seating. My party got the yuja, matcha, and cereal milk cocktails, and everyone seemed to like what they got!

  • Review 27 (2021-07-17 - Rating: 4)

    Romantic space with fancy cocktails featuring soju. Service was a little slow on a Saturday, but staff was nice. Space is a bit limited and tight, so I dont recommend it for groups. Pre-dinner cocktails on a date night for 2 would be perfect.

  • Review 28 (2021-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely stop for a quiet drink and some small bites. Ordered the cereal milk and cream puffs, and both were tasty. Wish I had taken photos, but the interior was also very cute. Makes for a nice date night or spot to meet friends for quick drinks.

  • Review 29 (2024-10-03 - Rating: 5)

    The best, most creative cocktail with in-house soju infusions. Dont come here looking for Jolly Rancher cocktails. This is a place for tender souls with sophisticated taste🍸

  • Review 30 (2018-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    This is the place for whoever loves a chill vibe, refreshing drinks and a good time! Very authentic and original drinks and friendly staffs.

  • Review 31 (2021-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic unique cocktails, truly soju specialists in every regard. A playlist that doesnt miss with indoor and outdoor seating set in a well-crafted aesthetic, Reception Bar is always a great time.Collaboration with Scarrs down the block is absolutely delicious: Garlic knots and pineapple kimchi 🤤🤤🤤

  • Review 32 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    10/10Great music and interesting cocktails, will come back often

  • Review 33 (2023-01-11 - Rating: 4)

    Surprisingly pleasant. They have some unique approaches on infusing tea into alcohol here. Drinks are made by a pleasant bartender (pre-covid era) in an overall inviting environment. Worth a stop. No food. There are some great pizza stops in the area if you get inebriated though, so theres that and they are somewhat okay with allowing food inside the bar.

  • Review 34 (2021-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    LOVE! Saturday night @ 9:30pm had seating for me + several friends. first time - was there for nearly 3 hours - would have stayed all night! Cocktails were SO good, service was great, music was amazing…can’t wait to come back.

  • Review 35 (2018-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    One of a kind! A refreshing take on a cocktail bar with fun and innovative drinks, both alcoholic and virgin. Extremely knowledgeable and professional staff elevate the mood even more. Very inspiring to see the owner’s story come through!!!

  • Review 36 (2022-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    I rarely go out of my way to get drinks but reception is an exception. they have great cocktails, decent beer options, good music and friendly service. love it.

  • Review 37 (2023-08-31 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot for Korean-style cocktails.Overall their prices are reasonable. Their specialized cocktails looked creative but the tastes were not that impressive.🍸Our favorite goes to White Lotus. This is a tea-based one with a gental flavor.I had the Yuja 88 which I could only taste the citrus sweetness but not the floral soju they added.

  • Review 38 (2021-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    New favorite spot in LES. Delicious and inventive soju-based cocktails (the lotus breeze is a favorite!) in a gorgeous space, including an amazing heated outdoor area. Amazing owner, friendly staff, and an elevated but fun/unpretentious vibe.

    The interior and exterior of this place is beautiful. The drinks here are absolutely delicious! Very complex and nuanced flavor profiles and they not only offer a great selection of soju based cocktails, they have a selection of non-alcoholic tonics that are good for you! I have to go back to try their soju flight. Highly recommend.

  • Review 72 (2023-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    I have a personal metric for measuring how nice a bar is, which is how the bouncers treat you. This bar scored 5/5 with that regard even at a busy Saturday night. Not to mention extremely interesting and tasty cocktails they have inside all made with a soju base. A good and elaborate cocktail spot!

  • Review 73 (2023-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome, unique drinks, cool atmosphere, and great/fast service. Only bad thing is that I wasnt able to drink everything on the menu in one night. Guess Ill have to go back to try the rest of the drinks

  • Review 77 (2022-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    Unique cocktails that you almost surely cant find elsewhere. Id almost call some of them experimental in a way, so its definitely the place to stretch your palette. I didnt care so much for one of their saltier cocktails, but Im sure some people like them. Overall it was a great experience and break from the standard cocktail bar.

  • Review 78 (2023-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    Very tasty soju based cocktails and laid back vibe. Easy to toss them back so beware, theyre stronger than you think.

  • Review 79 (2023-04-22 - Rating: 4)

    Solid cocktail bar in LES. The drinks are creative and tasty. The only downside is they’re all soju based drinks (duh, it’s a soju bar) which means they’re about half as strong as a normal cocktail.

  • Review 80 (2021-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place is beautiful! The music is incredible and the staff is welcoming and always on their A game. Their drinks are unique but many are quite bitter. I had one with melon but it was hard to drink! I think they could use some sprucing up. Their IPAs are very good though so Ill definitely be back for the music and beers! Definitely a must try in the neighborhood.

  • Review 83 (2022-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    I come here literally every time I’m in LES / Chinatown. Drinks are very good and also not too strong alcohol content wise because they’re mostly soju based. This place is usually REALLY popular on weekends though so you’ll probably be outside or waiting for a table

  • Review 88 (2021-07-05 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent offerings, aesthetic, vibe. Delicious, house made, and reasonable. Terrific and cohesive concept. The only things keeping me from returning are the terrible acoustics. They need to lay down some rugs, carpet, or some sound absorbing panels in the corners. Polished concrete floor is like a noise trampoline. Doesnt matter how full it is, youll go deaf if you stay in here too long.

  • Review 89 (2021-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    Imagine a star trek bar. You might get assimilated by the Borg but beforehand you would get cool drinks with highly unusual tastes. This is def not a theme bar, it just has the vibe of fascinating people congregating from around the galaxy in a minimalist, futuristic space. Bartenders exude intimidating amounts of coolness and look like they have phasers/frightening amounts of hand to hand combat skills. 5/5

  • Review 90 (2020-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    Reception Bar is a rare spot that you can’t compare to anywhere else because the contemporary space, menu and all the little touches culminate to something one of a kind. The owner is extremely friendly and there are regularly new menu items and collaborations happening that keeps things exciting every time you stop by. There are a range of cocktails for every palette and beautiful sojus bottles that feel nice enough to gift to someone who needs a boost on a bad 2020 day. The only disappointment here is COVID removing our access to the gorgeous interior space.

  • Review 91 (2023-07-19 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 93 (2018-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place!! You can really tell all the work that went into this bar, design and the one-of-a-kind drinks on the seasonal menu is amazing. Love the Asian theme - reminds me of the 50s. Space is comfortable and the bartender is super cute and has a super cute uniform - a traditional Korean hanbok! Its open during the day too, with a lot of natural light its perfect for studying.The Lotus Breeze cocktail (I think?) for this Summer/Fall 2018 season is highly recommended.

    My favorite bar on the LES, one of the coziest and most thoughtfully designed in the neighborhood. Go for the creative menu and beyond-friendly staff!!

    Casual yet charming beginning or end to any night. Menu boasts complex soju and makgeolli concoctions served by hospitable staff. My serving of the Smokes, featuring pine smoked lapsang soju, korean pear shrub, eucalyptus bitters, started vinegary and fizzy but finished like a caramelized pear: part health tonic, part aperitif, part dessert. Would absolutely return to try more.

    This place is a gem. Very cool vibe, excellent cocktail menu, and if you ask the bartenders to show off their skills and make something different, theyll certainly impress.
