When we saw this place, I knew we had to go back because the vibes were just so 90s New York and I was immediately drawn to it. Before we even stepped inside, I fell in love with the front door and its corner entrance column. I bet 30 years ago people were getting mugged left and right outside, it's giving Gotham. I have to come back here in a brown leather outfit with brown lipstick, brown eyeliner, and my bangs perfectly styled with skinny sunglasses in leather boots and have a cocktail at this place. It just giving me those bad girl in leather vibes. If I smoked cigarettes, that would complete the look. Oh and besides the vibes, I absolutely love the cocktail menu. It's very different from what I normally see and as soon as I saw the Pepperoncini Martini (the very first drink!) I knew I had to have it. I love savory cocktails like that since I can't stand super sweet ones. This martini was delicious and the drops of sesame oil made it even more complex! You can choose vodka or gin for your base but I went with vodka. So good. Also true to 90s vibes, there's a pool table in the corner of this place. God it's so grungy, I freaking love it!

We were already grabbing dinner in Chinatown, so Mr Fong's was a close by choice for post dinner funsies. Order at the bar, because its just 1-2 bartenders running. Theres a pool table, some booths, perfect for a low key night. I had 2 different drinks here, one was the salted plum old fashioned, the other was mezcal + carrot. First one wasnt plum enough for me, I was expecting heavy li hing mui tastes. Glad I switched over to the mezcal + carrot. If you're ever a health but and had a bunch of green juices, carrot juice in this case, this drink is for you. It's smoky, it gives off the pretense of being healthy. Another drink my friends raved about was the pepperoncini martini. Very easy to drink and a pepperoncini to gnaw on.

You're also right by the high line which is easy to walk around after Hostess and waitress were super friendly and gracious. Our group wasn't there yet and they were lovely to us. Alright, inching closer to the low points. Cocoffee was nice but nothing extravagant. I did like that it was coconut cream which made this espresso martini quite unique! Heirloom tomatoes and cacao e Pepe were fine. Nothing unique or extravagant about it. Felt overpriced and quantity was medium. I didn't think this was worth $25+ or unique from most other Italian in NYC but there we go. Recommend for the experience but probably will pass on a second visit (or maybe just go for drinks, skip wasting money on the food)

Pinky Swear has quickly become one of my favorite spots in NYC. I originally discovered it through…read morean event held here, and I immediately fell in love with the food, the people, the energy -- honestly, everything. The service, food, and ambience are all top-notch. Huge shoutout to the entire staff, especially Bryan -- absolute best! Everyone is so warm and genuinely makes you feel welcome, which can be surprisingly hard to find in NYC. And the oysters during happy hour?! One of my favorite things to order. Their Pinky Power Hour is such a good deal, and I could easily make an entire evening out of oysters and drinks. (Pinky Swear) But what really keeps me coming back is that Pinky Swear is so much more than a restaurant or bar. There's art everywhere, and not just art that you look at -- there are interactive installations that actually invite you to play and explore. Every time I go, there seems to be something new to discover, so it never feels like I'm having the exact same experience twice. (Pinky Swear) I think that's what I love most about this place: my curious, spontaneous inner child comes ALIVE here. There's something wonderfully unexpected about wandering around, discovering the art, trying something new, having a great drink, and just seeing where the night takes you. It's great for a date night, a girls' night, after-work drinks, a birthday, or honestly just whenever you want to do something a little different. You can come for dinner and end up staying much longer than you planned because there's always something happening. This was one of my favorite little NYC gatekept gems... but I guess the secret is officially out. Pinky Swear, please never change. I have a good time EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm here. Thank you for creating a place that feels so playful, creative, and alive.

I actually came across an Instagram reel upon my scrolling fingers and this restaurant popped up but had forgotten about it. The restaurant ambiance gave me an electric feel with the lighting and fun things to look at as part of their decor. It was happy hour time so I grabbed a seat at the bar. I settled for oysters, fries and a dirty water drink (seltzer boozy water) because I knew I was going to eat again, I kept my intake on the smaller side.

He didn't even check IDs and was mumbling so I couldn't even understand what he was saying when he asked me a question. He was giving attitude because I couldn't hear him and said something like "see how hard was it to answer". Like okay sir.... It was only 2 of us so we were seated at the bar. The bar set up is kinda weird and they extended the corner to accommodate for 2 extra seats (where we were). The bar is cool though - it's glowing pink marble or some stone. The pictures on social made it seem like this place was huge but that is not that case at all. There's bar seating, a table extended at the end of the bar, some tables behind the bar. There's a DJ in this cubby hole in the back by the bathroom. We got: - queens remedy: they didn't have hibiscus so they used raspberry puree instead. - midnight ballerina: they ran out of the regular mezcal that is normally used for this drink and were going to upcharge us for a different mezcal. That doesn't make sense since THEY ran out. Service was good in the beginning but then our server got busy and we had to wait for multiple times to get his attention. There are other bars in Chelsea- you're not missing much by not coming here.

It has that elevated, mixology-focused vibe where you can feel the creativity in the room the second you walk through the door. The cocktails are truly works of art. Every drink is crafted with incredible attention to detail, from the flavors to the presentation to the aromas. Watching the bartenders put everything together feels like part of the experience. This is not the kind of place where you simply order a drink. You taste it, smell it, and appreciate it. Yes, the drinks are definitely on the higher end price-wise, but they are absolutely worth trying at least once. You're paying for an unforgettable experience, not just a cocktail. If you love mixology or want a unique night out, BarChef delivers something memorable and special. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a standout cocktail experience in Manhattan.
