    Dear Irving in Gramercy is where time travel meets cocktail perfection. With its beautifully themed rooms, this elegant, cozy bar sets the stage for romance. The martinis and margaritas are as impeccable as the ambiance—making it the ultimate date night destination. A sip here feels like a journey, and trust us, youll never want to return.

    The cocktails were absolutely well balanced, and full of flavor. The vibe of the place was just perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

    Dear Irving is a 10/10!I came with my wife from Orlando on vacation and met a lovely couple at a pub, who by the way couldn’t stop raving about it. SURE you hear of great places to visit on your vacations from local residents, But THIS is an absolute hidden Gem. As we arrived, we were greeted and sat by Naomi in a beautiful table for 2. Normally I don’t remember names but for the level of service, I had no choice! Tia our server for the night, recommended cocktails which vast from Irish, Scottish, and Japanese. I was enthralled by the fact that not only was the staff so pleasant but I had such an array of options for drinks. Even the manager Chris made sure not only if our table was ok, but every table at the establishment as well. Perfect date spot. Whenever I’m in town Dear Irving will always be on the list of places to visit.

    A nice speakeasy with friendly service. The drinks are solid, with a wide selection of cocktails, but not anything particularly wow.Booth seating and bar seating and table seating.

  • Review 5 (2023-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Was #26 Best North American bar in 2022.Atmosphere 8/10Very dark but classy Ambiente inside. A bit too dark for my taste. To the point that it’s difficult to take decent pictures. So def not very “instagrammable” spot if that’s what you look for. There is a cool extra room with a 1920’s theme in the backDrinks 7/10To my surprise, the drinks on the menu didn’t look appealing. No vodka based drinks. But you can order a custom drink by describing your preference. Our cocktails were great. However - I wouldn’t know how to recommend or reorderService 10/10I love the concept that there is a service button, which you push when you need help. Otherwise, nobody will bother youPrice 5/10Drinks are ok-priced around ~$20-24

    Very cozy and romantic cocktail bar with delicious drinks, discreet yet friendly staff, and a cozy, intimate setup. Ideal for a date. Its also perfectly located next to many delicious restaurants to make it a full evening.

  • Review 7 (2024-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    Dark/elegant/intimate space. Large menu of creative/interesting cocktails to choose from. Exceptional service.

  • Review 8 (2020-02-04 - Rating: 4)

    Nice environment, good cocktails, definitely expensive. Even on a Monday night this place had some life to it! The service was great. I loved that this place has a variety of seating. Without a doubt, it is really expensive. I would definitely come back if budget wasnt a concern.

  • Review 9 (2024-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Everything about this place is a 10/10. I have been there 3 times so far, every time I got a different seating option which is a complete payoff. Every cocktail on the menu is special. Best place for a nice splurge.

  • Review 10 (2023-03-01 - Rating: 4)

    Speakeasy vibe with plenty of seatings. The seatings are arranged in private groups along the venue.The bar is located in the heart of the physical space.Friendly staff and excellent service.Would advice the manager(s) to work on the music though

  • Review 11 (2023-05-04 - Rating: 5)

    Cool setting and vibes and an extensive cocktail menu. I really loved the rum and papaya drink, was well balanced and was quite a big portion. Got in with 5 people with no wait at around 5:30on a Wednesday.

  • Review 12 (2022-06-19 - Rating: 4)

    Cozy bar with solid cocktails and good food. There are lots of tables for small groups that are intimate and cozy and then a decent size bar.Cocktails were great, the menu has a lot of interesting concoctions but they bartenders also served the classics. They also have a small food menu- the sliders hit the spot after an afternoon turned evening of lots of drinking!On a Friday night it appeared fairly easy to walk in with a small group, but if more than 2-3 it looked like you needed a reservation.

  • Review 13 (2023-01-31 - Rating: 5)

    Gorgeous space and friendly, professional staff. The host was perfect and our server was attentive and very accommodating! Didn’t manage to catch her name but one of her fav cocktails is the Whiskey Business (a must-try). Speakeasies rarely hit the mark on both ambiance and service but this one is 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you making our birthday evening so memorable!

  • Review 14 (2024-12-28 - Rating: 4)

    Whisky business is a must! What a great cocktail the place is classy definitely a option to have some drinks!

  • Review 15 (2023-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktails in a very unique and old school setting. I had the Treasure Fleet and my wife the Getaway Car. Excellent. Pricey but well worth it.

  • Review 16 (2017-10-12 - Rating: 4)

    Great cocktails! Everything we tried on the menu was delicious, the drinks are a little pricey but it’s definitely worth checking out. They usually have a wait on peak nights so we went on a Wednesday afternoon and sat right away.

  • Review 17 (2022-05-17 - Rating: 5)

    Dear Irving, I love you.The bar is a love affair. Beautiful in all the areas. Can never go wrong with Gibson or vice versa. The time limit is a bit annoying tho. Been here countless times and will be here countless more.

  • Review 18 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent place for a date, although based on the number of Tinderers and Okcupiders I witnessed in all the dark nooks, it feels a little *too* romantic for a first date. Prices alone, save for your second meetup.

  • Review 19 (2019-12-31 - Rating: 4)

    Dear Irving is a great place to grab fruity/juicy cocktails on a date or with a group of friends. They offer some small bites. The back room is really cute. Consider making reservations or risk waiting. It is conveniently located close to union square.Note that cocktails here are on the pricey end but they are very delicious.

  • Review 20 (2019-04-18 - Rating: 5)

    Dear Irving is such classy and cute spot. Went after work with a couple of colleagues and we were all impressed. The service was excellent. I would suggest making reservations prior to going.

  • Review 21 (2023-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    I celebrated my 60th birthday with my best friends, youngest neohew, & wife who took me there after my dinner party. We had drinks 🍸 no food.

  • Review 22 (2024-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    - regency era- Snow bird - tequila and sweet- Xantolo - tequila but spicy

  • Review 23 (2024-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing cocktails and very friendly bar staff. I really liked Latin Matrix, and Bohemian Avenue.

  • Review 24 (2021-05-26 - Rating: 4)

    Make sure to get a reservation if you want to see the back room!We were lucky enough to even do a walk-in.The drinks are delicious and entertaining to look at. There are dividers, giving you enough privacy! Id definitely visit again.

  • Review 25 (2020-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    The atmosphere is exquisite. We enjoyed every minute. The small plates are so delicious. The staff was so incredibly hospitable. The drinks superb. We cannot wait to go back. Definitely a great experience overall.

  • Review 26 (2018-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely bar for date or conversations. Only for parties 6 or under. Get a reservation in advance as it is popular. $16 cocktails with at-will (button press) service and yummy rosemary mixed nuts. Loved it!

  • Review 27 (2019-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    The service was FANTASTIC; kind, attentive and efficient. The cocktail was pricey, but the atmosphere and service plus the fact that it was an actual cocktail that wasnt juiced down with mixers. Just delicious and strong.

  • Review 28 (2024-01-27 - Rating: 4)

    Great bar. Had the opportunity to finally visit on Sunday when it wasn’t to busy. The drinks are great. The food menu looked decent as well. The only negative thing to say is the service was a little slow. The waiter did make great recommendations though.

  • Review 29 (2024-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    The cocktail menu is impressively diverse and offers perfectly balanced drinks. Regardless of your taste in beverages, the skilled bartenders and attentive servers are ready to guide you to the ideal choice. While walk-ins are possible with some patience, making a reservation in advance is highly recommended.

  • Review 30 (2023-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    The bartenders are friendly, helpful and make amazing personalized drinks(if you ask nicely). Every time I come here I get treated with the upmost respect. I’ve come here on dates, I’ve brought friends here, I’ve even come alone. It’s a wonderful, sexy little bar. Highly recommend.

  • Review 31 (2019-02-10 - Rating: 5)

    Great date spot! Sit in the back baroque style room if your can. Reservations recommended, esp for groups larger than two.

  • Review 32 (2021-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Great service, exceptional cocktails, and the best atmosphere.Can’t wait to go back.

  • Review 33 (2023-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic atmosphere and delicious drinks! Service was fast and the waitresses were very friendly. They also gave us free macaroons and shots for a celebration! Definitely recommend coming here.

  • Review 34 (2024-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    I had a few drinks at Dear Irving Gramercy last week. The best cocktails spots in New York city and the atmosphere is incredible. If you love cocktails and are in NYC : dont miss this cocktail bar.

  • Review 35 (2024-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Was there for a dear friends birthday party. The host was very warm and welcoming, and our server through the night was outstanding. Would highly recommend this place to anyone

  • Review 36 (2023-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    Sophisticated cocktail lounge with nice open floor seating, well-put decor, but a tad too bit expensive drinks that is best served for a low key spot to grab a drink with a group of friends. $20 a drink. 4/5 stars as a night spot.

  • Review 37 (2022-10-16 - Rating: 4)

    Great cocktails. My martini was made quite well, near perfection in fact. Wagyu sliders were small, but definitely juicy.4 stars as they ran out of Grey Goose. Not sure how a bar runs out of one of the most common/popular vodka liquors.Very cool intimate place for friends/dates, and the hit the button for service is quite useful.

  • Review 38 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. Great cocktails, great service and the seating is nicely sectioned into what feels private but still connected to the energy of the bar.

  • Review 39 (2017-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Very intimate cocktail bar. Good service (just flip the switch). Cool drinks. Must have a reservation

  • Review 40 (2022-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Really cool bar with speakeasy vibes and very unique drinks. A group of 3 of us popped in on a Saturday afternoon and we were able to get seats at the bar without having to wait. Cocktails are definitely a little pricey but nothing out of this world for Manhattan.

  • Review 41 (2019-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent, excellent experience, ambiance, and customer service! I took my girlfriend here with two other people for her birthday and had an incredible time. Not only did management accommodate our reservation, they also placed us in the back private room which is beautifully decorated and also provided us with complimentary birthday cocktails. If your looking for a new and fun experience you MUST go here. The cocktails are nothing short of works of art. I will definitely be coming back as well as tell family and friends to come here too! 10/10 Stars.

  • Review 42 (2022-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Very chic place with a nice speak-easy atmosphere. If you are taking your lady out for cocktails, then this establishment will fit the bill. Purplish/pink backlit beads separate sections, convenient buzzers on the wall for service requests, and a tame aura overall.

  • Review 43 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Very cute, love the low lit vibe. Great music and staff. Damon was such a sweetheart and took care of us very well

  • Review 44 (2024-11-18 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food and super chill lounge area

  • Review 45 (2020-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    LOVE THIS SPOT! I hadn’t heard much about this place before going but I would definitely recommend checking it out. Tip: make a reservation ahead of time to get a great spot at a table. We sat at the bar and also enjoyed watching the bartenders craft the cocktails. Great array of spirits present on the cocktail list and bartenders do a great job of providing their own recommendations. Will definitely return!

  • Review 46 (2020-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Silly/extravagant decor, but a really fun place to go with a date or friends. The drinks are good, the volume level is low enough that you can have conversations, but the atmosphere is lively enough that it doesnt feel dead. For me, its the perfect place to get one after drink cocktail with a friend/friends in a civilized environment.

  • Review 47 (2022-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    Weird and dark space but the drinks are really f*****g good.

  • Review 48 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere ✌️, drinks are amazing.

  • Review 49 (2019-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Creative cocktails and exotic liquor, at least exotic to a person that knows very little about liquor. The bartenders are very knowledgable about everything they serve and quite passionate. They take special request and concoct drinks on the spot. Always a great conversation happening anywhere you look. Music is okay, havent tried the food yet and the decor is very cute(kinda old time fancy). This bar is in walking distance to Union Square but still a bit hard to find at night which I like because its discreet and not in your face. I also saw that they do events for companies and the last one looked lit.

  • Review 50 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Devin and Jermaine were absolutely pleasant! I am visiting from out of state and felt at home they were so great and dear Irving was a great vibe ! Thank you .

  • Review 51 (2024-04-30 - Rating: 4)

    Low volume music, too much noise

  • Review 52 (2018-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    I love the place. Cocktails are great. My favorite is the whiskey business. The small plates are very original and the lobster roll is to die for. And the cherry on the cake is the decor. The location was completely renovated before the place opened (it was an old Italian restaurant before) and each section of the speakeasy is decorated after a different era (60’s, 30’s, Victorian and French Renaissance). Gives you a feeling of travelling through time as you pass through the rooms. ;-)

  • Review 53 (2019-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Best cocktails in NYC. Tons off menu, just tell them what you like

  • Review 54 (2017-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Really solid cocktails at a beautiful space with a time-travel theme. Each section looks great - especially the very back. The only problem here is its very difficult to get reservations, which you basically need if you want a table. Sometimes you can get seated at the bar without reservations, though.

  • Review 55 (2016-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    This place was amazing! Decor and atmosphere are fantastic. Multiple differently themed rooms. Drinks were great. If you need to put your name down, just roam around to one of the many local spots, but dont miss a chance to go to this spot.

  • Review 56 (2019-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Nice atmosphere, interesting simple design. They have a good choice of drinks from wine to a good variety of cocktails. Quiet intimate ambiance. Great for the drinks and long talks.

  • Review 57 (2023-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    Its a charming cocktail bar with a delightful ambiance. I opted to sit at the bar, but there are also cozy tables available. The dimmed lighting creates a classy and dreamy atmosphere, reminiscent of the iconic scenes in Mad Men. While the cocktails are on the pricier side, averaging around $19, the premium price is justified by the exceptional ambiance. Its an ideal spot for romantic date nights, as the absence of loud music allows for intimate conversations without the need to raise your voice. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and Im looking forward to visiting again in the future.

  • Review 58 (2018-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    My gf and I came here for the first time on a Saturday night. It was around 1am. Our uber dropped us off in front and we proceeded to go in. The host told us there would be a 20 min wait. We werent in a rush so we decided to put our names on the waiting list. As soon as we went back outside to wait, no more than 3 minutes, the host came out and told us they had a table ready for us. We sat down and were greeted by our server. We looked at the drink menu and got a couple of drinks. They were so damn good. I cant remember what we each drank but they were great. I loved the interior of the bar and the ambiance. Its a sexy place. I would recommend it to everyone looking for a chill, sexy, elegant, place to grab a drink.

  • Review 59 (2024-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    Always a great time. Unique and incredibly satisfying cocktails, great vibes!

  • Review 60 (2014-10-22 - Rating: 4)

    Adorable speakeasy. The atmosphere is awesome (Marie Antoinette style). Drinks are strong but inconsistent - some were great, others we had to send back. Its a fun spot for a girls night - a lil too frilly for a date. Minimal food options.

  • Review 61 (2022-12-24 - Rating: 4)

    Drinks and bar staff were amazing, hostess could have been more polite.

  • Review 62 (2022-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    One of my favorite cocktail bars in the city. I would give the place five stars for the drinks quality and the atmosphere but the service is just not good enough.

  • Review 63 (2016-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite speakeasy in the city. Decor to wow, great date spot to impress and the whisky business + yummy bites will leave you feeling right for the night. Ambiance and service completely on point. Make a reservation, its worth the VIP treatment.

  • Review 64 (2017-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    Classic NYC spot - great speak easy type setting - RSVP highly recommended as its very popular during peak drinking hours - drinks are well made and with great flavor combinations but be prepared for an upscale cocktail that marches the price. Cool service feature where you press a button for service which makes the flagging down a waiter a non issue.

  • Review 65 (2023-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved the vibe!It looks like a neighbourhood bar but def its a speakeasy.Huge space inside,dim lit kids vibes and good drinks.

  • Review 66 (2017-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    Great innovative cocktails in an interesting space. The bar is divided into different areas each with a different vibe. Service is called via a bell system. If you are interested in the craft go during off hours like Sunday evening and sit at the bar. If you are lucky they will be working on new recipes. They have always been open to discussing what they are excited about and working on at the moment.

  • Review 67 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Liam is the best. Atmosphere is impeccable!

  • Review 68 (2016-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    The ambiance is classy and comfortable. The drinks are tasty and unique and the servers are more than helpful. Bonus: they take reservations up to six people. Its one of my favorite places to meet up with friends.

  • Review 69 (2021-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    Loved it. We are a Hollywood Smile Photo Booth rentals and spent a beautiful evening at the wedding party last night at this place. They have a very cozy, New York atmosphere with a delicious food and very kind stuff. Manager Cathleen was super helpful and professional as well as Inna, the hostess. Photo Booth was a fun addition to the party as it always is.

    Friendly service, tasty drinks and cute decor. Music wasnt overly loud and it was easy to have good conversation. Water service was also very frequent. Great date spot!

  • Review 73 (2021-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    Fancy, speakeasy vibe. Beautiful decor. Expertly crafted cocktails. It will take you back to a more glamorous era. Think: Great Gatsby 🍸 Definitely recommend!

  • Review 74 (2017-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    Super chic and swanky! I felt soo sexy in like an old money kind of way haha! I love this place I didnt want to leave. The second I sat down with my date in a big comfy arm chair someone brought me over a glass of water. After pressing the cool button to have a waitress come over, I was still undecided about which drink I wanted but the waitress was soo knowledgeable about the intricacies of all of the drinks she helped me pick the perfect one! This place is great for dates very sexy and romantic. Highly recommended.

  • Review 75 (2021-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    Personal, and safe experience with knowledgeable staff. Went with the bartender recommendation and couldnt go wrong. Everyone is polite regardless of the pandemic. What else can you ask for. Will be back next week to experience more of what they can offer

  • Review 76 (2019-08-02 - Rating: 4)

    Really cool vibe. I think the decor outshines the cocktails. Food options are limited and I question if the lobster roll is all lobster. All said, its a place you should go if youre in the Gramercy area, especially for a date.

  • Review 77 (2021-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktails in a luxurious and transporting setting. The drinks here are expensive but well executed and the ambiance is upscale and luxurious. It would be ideal for an intimate date night.

  • Review 78 (2015-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    A favorite New York haunt: like Raines Law Room (created by the same team), Dear Irving is an elegant but unfussy guaranteed good-night-out. Its a great place to go with a friend or a group of friends, quiet enough to talk. The service is attentive and excellent, and if you love a well-made and inventive cocktail, it would take you many happy weeks to get to taste everything on this menu.

  • Review 79 (2018-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful and romantic speakeasy. Raine’s is great but is not as good as this. Perfect for a date/very intimate vibe and incredible cocktail list. One of the best bars in the city hands down.

  • Review 80 (2023-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for a date, dimly lit sitting feels private.Just had drinks & they were awesome & staff was very friendly & professional.

    Definitely one of the best cocktail lounges in Manhattan. Each room has a different decor as you make your way back to the bar, incredible low light atmosphere. A must see

    Beautiful low-key speakeasy. when I say low-key, i mean the vibe. the bar is absolutely beautiful, the drinks are delicious, and the service is just the right amount of available when needed, invisible when not.

  • Review 90 (2017-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite cocktail bars. Consistently delicious, helpful and knowledgeable bartenders, beautiful and romantic setting. Cocktails are $16, but well made and tasty.

  • Review 91 (2016-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    I walked by the place twice because I didnt pay attention to the address and thought it was the entrance into an apartment building. This was my first time here and I LOVED it. Unfortunately, I didnt have a chance to explore the other rooms but that gives me another excuse to come back again :)The Vice Versa drink was light and refreshing and their veggie Croque Monsieur with the truffle cheese was soooooo good! I noticed that theyre having a Halloween Masquerade Ball and it seems like the perfect venue for that kind of event.

  • Review 92 (2019-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    Super cute cocktail bar. Excellent cocktails, including off the menu requests. Fun vibe, amazing decor. Would definitely put it on my list as a serious (and seriously good!) cocktail bar/program.

  • Review 93 (2018-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    One of the better NYC bars I have visited. It definitely a date spot. Great cocktails and the servers are phenomenal!!! On the more expensive side but worth the vibe. Recommended

    Lavish yet comfortable and inviting decor, perfect music and ambiance, phenomenal service (Rene and Robin you are masters of your craft and wonderful hosts, thanks for taking care of me so well), and of course delicious drinks. I discovered my most favorite drink there yesterday, ask for Business with Pleasure (add strawberries), its divine perfection.

    The best cocktail bar in Manhattan!!! A mixture of the best atmosphere, music and of course drinks. This is a must visit when in Gramercy and make sure to book in advance on Resy!

    Such a lovely experience!A classy and luxurious cocktail bar that hits all the right vibes. Think dimmed lighting, mod decor in the front and gets more victorian as you progress. Velvet upholstery, dark wooden floors, easy listening pop/smooth music, and overall fancy.I ordered the Marie Antoinette which was delicious, not too sweet, and a hint of cocoa which tones down the fruitiness.The second round I got the Coast Call which was also a tad sweeter and with more of a fruity taste to it.My friend liked her 1st round which is the white drink- it tasted like a fancy pina colada and her 2nd round she ordered the poppy collins I believe, but did not enjoy it as much as she said it was too strong.Overall amazing vibes, stellar service with buttons to call the waiters to your table (vintage!) and would definitely recommend for a date night.

    I love this place; an awesome Speakeasy. The decor and thr fact that you seem as if you are time traveling within every room you enter is amazing. My favorite foods were thr mini burgers and tuna tartar. The service was incredible the staff made sure my group were well takened care of.

    Came here after my proposal dinner at Eleven Madison Park. Beautiful decor in the rear lounge, very renaissance like rich European style. We had a few cocktails and checked out. Totally worth our time, I recommend stopping by.

    Chris was a fantastic host at the door. Impeccable service.

  • Review 104 (2016-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    Gotta love a speak easy. Its not marked so you just walk up the stairs and through the curtain. Sometimes there is a long wait in the evenings, but the cocktails are worth it. Wait it out down the street at a wine bar.

  • Review 105 (2018-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Owned by the people behind Raines Law Room, this is a classy cocktail spot. It’s a good first date move - they even take reservations (though walk-ins are fine too) and have some small plates of food too..

  • Review 106 (2022-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place! It’s a great lounge, good for a classy night out. The staff is very attentive and the ambiance is great. I highly recommend!!!

  • Review 107 (2024-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    I know they’re trying to transport you to “another time,” but honestly, you get service by pressing a button—just like paging a nurse at a hospital.Now maybe I’m biased because I’ve been spending a LOT of time in hospitals lately, but I just could not get over the fact that every time we needed something, it felt like I was calling for a nurse. It really reminded me of illness and medicine and doctors and you know that hospital smell?I was worried that the menu would have jello or pudding or another hospital food, but thankfully it didn’t. The drinks are really good and the servers are nice and the atmosphere mostly feels different from a hospital, so 5 stars. But just know I’m thinking about hospitals all the time I’m there.

  • Review 113 (2023-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktail bar with a speakeasy theme! Most of the seating area is lux couches and comfy chairs for groups around tables. The mood in the place is on point and the drinks match perfectly.The cocktail list is pretty extensive but the bartenders are also more than happy to custom blend one to your liking.

  • Review 114 (2023-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Exemplary bar. Quiet and classy atmosphere; superb, professional service; inventive and delicious cocktails.

  • Review 115 (2022-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    Very well balanced cocktails with an extensive menu. No matter your preference in beverage, they have knowledgeable bartenders and waiters to help you find the perfect concoction. Would strongly recommend having advanced reservations but they are able to accommodate walk ups if you are willing to wait a bit.

  • Review 116 (2017-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Unique vibe. Charming and unique decor. Well done. Bathroom speaks volumes about attention to detail. Tremendous service. Could have stayed all night.

  • Review 117 (2016-02-28 - Rating: 4)

    Great speakeasy near Union Square. The drinks are similar to Raines Law Room but the decor was not as fun. Theres not much of a wait so its worth a trip!

    Best cocktail spot in the city. Make reservations early, it gets packed. Great decor and staff. Very fun and intimate.

  • Review 121 (2019-01-07 - Rating: 4)

    Came here with a friend for the cocktails but ended up ordering the burger and fries instead haha. Maybe it was because we were both starving but it was so good!! Honestly Ill probably come here again just for that (and maybe order a drink next time).

    Cozy spot to hang and have a well crafted cocktail.

  • Review 124 (2022-04-13 - Rating: 4)

    A cozy upscale atmosphere with romantic lighting and velvet accents. Cocktails are delicious - there’s something for everyone. The bites are decent. Service timing is a little long but it’s a great place to be where you can enjoy, aka hear, your date, catch up with some friends, and/or spill all your secrets to the bartender.

  • Review 125 (2017-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing cocktail bar and quick bites venue! The best in Gramercy for an intimate yet cool vibe, dont forget to check out the Marie Antoinette room in the back!

  • Review 126 (2017-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktails in nice atmosphere. Very much a date spot so you can expect to see several people making out at night.

  • Review 127 (2019-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    What an amazing cocktail bar! We arrived sans reservations right when they opened, and they were able to accommodate us for two hours until the party who did make a reservation was to arrive. They were going to put us at a table, but we opted for bar where we had three drinks. The bartenders are incredibly nice, attentive, and have a deep understanding of the menu. It was really cool to watch them in action making the drinks. They have a small food menu, but we did not eat. What a delight. Definitely will be back.

  • Review 133 (2019-04-16 - Rating: 4)

    Good drinks, extensive and creative menu, and cool atmosphere - you flip a switch on the wall to get service - but at $16 a cocktail, Im not sure that I would be back.
