My all time favorite bar that somehow nailed both cocktails and food. I'm a sucker for fried chicken, and they just happened to have the fattest, tastiest fried chicken sandwich. Highly recommend their hot honey fried chicken (5/5) as well as their popcorn chicken with thai basil sauce (5/5). My favorite drinks were definitely #1 and #3. The cuppa sunshine tasted like yuzu espresso-- an insane flavor combo-- and the best espresso martini I've had. Early Bird was so easy to drink, like sipping on a green tea shot. Close runner up is Tipsy Tulip in such a cute cup and Space Dog with a nice smooth taro flavor. The Double Bubble was cool aesthetically and conceptually but as a milk tea lover, it was strange but not bad, to drink an alcoholic version with mini boba. My least favorite was the Holy Shishito because it had wasabi and the spice was just off. Otherwise, I'm definitely coming back once I can snag another reservation. I'd take anyone visiting NYC to this spot!
Getting in is the hardest part. Once you're past that door it's all good from there. I would suggest smaller parties 4 or less, and getting there before 6pm if you can. As the night rolls, the line lengthens. They will take a name and number and text you. So you can go elsewhere and come back. But a 2-3+ hour wait can be a real bummer if you have this in mind. Food. As the name implies. Chicken. I've had the chicken sandwiches and every one is great, every time. Drinks. This most recent visit was the first time I get into the coop in the back. I tried their new papaya salad cocktail and their cold pizza. Both were stunning and fascinating. Both drinks of drink with those foods, and somehow tastes like those foods. The papaya salad moreso. For a fancy hot spot in the city, prices are solid and expected. For two sandwiches, two cocktails and some na drinks we were out for under $100 with tip for the two of us. I look forward to my next visit.
Best drinks we had in NYC! Would highly recommend if you have the time to wait in line or are lucky enough to snag a resi. Our party of 2 got in line ~4:20p and were the first to get seated at the Coop bar. Pro tip: Coop is the back of the restaurant with the more creative cocktails imo. It also has fun chicken decor. The menu is organized as appetizer, entree, and dessert so of course we had to get 1 of each for a full meal. Melon prosciutto: a crispy basil garnish to go with a very refreshing melon cocktail with a slight savory finish. Thai curry: a complex and savory mezcal cocktail with a Thai iced tea popsicle garnish. We loved the concept of drinking what we would normally eat and eating what we would normally drink. Key Lime Pie: a highlight! Literally tastes like key lime! Actually I loved this way more than an actual key lime pie. Highly recommend!! (It's ok to be basic sometimes when it's THAT good) Stuffed wings: surprisingly delicious. No wonder this place is named after chicken. Very tender and juicy!! The perfect snack to go with our alcohol meal
This was a super fun bar experience! I'll start off by saying the worst part was waiting in the long line to put my name down for a couple of hours in advance, but they made that process as smooth as they could, so I can't complain. Once we finally got in, we were escorted to the back room where the ambience was amazing. The servers were very helpful in telling us what each drink was like, and when we finally decided what we wanted, they were excellent. We got the Key Lime Pie drink, the Cold Noodles drink, and the Custard drink, and they were all amazing, but the Cold Noodles and Key Lime Pie drinks really stood out. The Key Lime Pie drink was sweet, with a nice tart underlying flavor that was balanced very well. The Cold Noodles drink actually tasted like cold noodles. It was amazing! It was just savory enough to be reminiscent of the food item, but sweet enough to still be palatable. We also got the popcorn chicken, which was good, but I wouldn't necessarily rush back for it. Next time, I really want to try their chicken sandwich. Overall, this place was amazing and worth waiting in line to try at least one time!
Rated as one of the top 50 bars in North America, you can expect that (1) a reservation here is a bit hard to get and (2) if you come on a weekend, you can expect a 1+ hr wait. Fortunately, I came on a Thursday evening around 7pm and my wait was just a bit over 15 minutes. Double Chicken Please has two portions to their establishment: the front (Free Range) and the back (the Coop). Although it isn't difficult to get into free range, they don't offer food options. So, I've been wanting to check out the Coop and finally go to try recently! We got their popcorn chicken and oolong pudding for bites, and for drinks we tried their: Key Lime Pie, Custard Bun, Cold Soba Noodle, and French Toast. All of their cocktails were phenomenal. I wouldn't quite say that they taste exactly like their respective dishes but they are definitely are inspired. The food here is also amazing, and I am absolutely in love with their popcorn chicken. Probably one of my favorite bars in NYC.
The cocktails are wonderfully creative and so fun to try. These are definitely the star of the show and I highly recommend the key lime pie. After trying 8 of the cocktails, this one truly stood out and I will undoubtedly attempt to make it at home (It was seriously that good, do not skip on the key lime pie cocktail). The fried chicken sandwhich was actually very spicy, I didn't expect the strawberry glaze to be that way but it worked extremely well with the sandwich. I don't think the mochi donut was done very well, the mochi name felt like it was thrown in there as a buzzword to motivate orders without being very distinctly "mochi" itself. With that said, the chicken was fried perfectly.
Opened on the LES in 2020 and named the No. 1 Bar in North America in 2023 and most recently came in at No. 35 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026 list. We arrived around 9:30pm on a Saturday with basically no line and got seated in the front Free Range Bar section within 10 minutes. The vibe is amazing and the drinks are so uniquely crafted. We tried three cocktails and my favorite was the Early Bird. I have been to the Coop in the back and enjoyed there even more with their separate menu. Still a great vibe and a cocktail bar like no other.
Double Chicken Please has been on my list for a long time, and I'm already itching to go back! Walked in as a party of 2 at 10pm on a Thursday and got seated right away. We ordered the french toast and the key lime pie (both listed as dessert drinks on the menu) and both were sooo delicious! The french toast came with a cookie-like chocolate that I was told to eat in between sips of the drink. That really elevated the drink - it genuinely tasted like french toast with really great cinnamon and maple syrup flavors (very sweet though). The key lime pie was also great, and our server said it was one of their most popular. Didn't try the food this time, although I definitely want to next time since everything looked great. The service was the one thing that was not great - our drinks came out probably 15 minutes apart and it took far too long for us to close out. But the amazing drinks are worth coming for!
The vibes inside were really cool and interesting, definitely doesn't look anything like the outside. The drinks were super interesting, especially the cold pizza one where it sounded strange, but it tasted quite good. The food was really mid though, and for a place that has chicken in the name you would think the chicken would be better. For food we got: * Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken - 7/10: there was honestly way too much chicken, not enough acidity, and not enough crunch * Lobster Shiso Tempura - 9/10: surprisingly very refreshing and tasty * Chicken Liver Mousse - 7/10: nothing special, the butter was WAY too hard, should at least be softened a little... Service was fantastic and friendly, just if I come here next time I would just get drinks and no food.
Did a walk-in for a group of 3 on a Friday night around 8pm. We only waited about 15 minutes, so I was surprised. Overall, I think the food definitely outshines shines the drinks, but that's mainly because a lot of the drinks are savory food-inspired, and I like my cocktails more sweet than anything. For example, drinking the cold pizza felt really unnatural. It tasted just like gazpacho, but the idea of drinking a pizza just was not hitting the spot for me. The egg yolk sandwich was amazing though.
Heard so many things about this place and have tried to come several times but the waitlist was always full. Returned another night and was able to join the waitlist right after opening - went to grab dinner in the mean time and returned 2-3 hours later in time for our table. I tried the Red Eyed Gravy, Thai Curry, and Key Lime Pie. The Key Lime Pie was the only drink of the three that blew my mind and reflected what I'd heard about the cocktails at this establishment. The Red Eyed Gravy and Thai Curry tasted like standard cocktails with impressive garnishes, but did not resemble their names much in taste otherwise. The popcorn chicken was good but the chicken sandwich is better! Servers don't stop by often but are still around when you need them. They're also pretty strict on the 2 hour time limit. Overheard some funny guys complaining about how this bar is NOT the place to meet single people, fyi. Would love to come back and try the Pizza Cocktail now that I know how early you have to waitlist to get a seat.
Came by to check out their drinks on a thursday night after work, you have to choose between the old menu or the new menu when you walk in. My group went with the new one in orange because the other old version in black would be a two hour wait, we had a party of five but could only get seats for 4 by the bar so we had to rotate seats and take turns standing on the side. The menu was really cool and there's a mini game you can play to help you randomly choose a drink, we all think it's rigged, because all of us kept getting the number 4, i ended up trying four because that was also what the bartender recommended as a fruity drink, but I didn't like it so I traded with my friend and he got like a coffee drink. Donut chicken sandwich looks cool but is skippable and has a spicy kick to it, i found out that it was coming from spicy pineapples which was interesting. Hot honey sandwich was pretty good. Our seats were still not ready for the other bar by the time we finished and every time we asked the waiter, it's always a 30 minutes or 45 minutes additional wait even though it's already past the two hours estimate we got since 6pm. The seating arrangement felt really messy. I think this is one of those places where you would try once and probably won't go back again for me. And definitely not worth the two hour wait. I also couldn't understand why they wouldn't just serve all the drinks at the place and would have to split it by the front and the back seating... that really didn't make sense.
Nice vibes inside, dimly lit, kind of like mid-century living room decor style. Bonus weird bathroom. The servers are pretty good at pushing the drinks and also would like u to order a lot of drinks. You can get reservations for groups of 5-6 but smaller is pretty much walk in. Inside they have bar seating and couch sofa areas for bigger groups. I got the salted egg yolk one. It was fun with the aroma bubble smoke gun, but the taste was not as creamy or as salted egg yolk flavor that I was seeking. It kind of had an acidic initial bite and then aftertaste of custard. The mango sticky rice was another one that ended up more like a whisky sort of drink that what I expected. My favorite tries of the night was the cold noodle soup cocktail, it was amazing. Tasted exactly like an Asian cucumber salad but had layers and flavors to it that you felt like you were in a willy worka factory eating one of those meal ball things. The dorayaki was also nice, not like red bean or bread flavor but very mapley and reminded me of japanese autumn. Overall I think they excel in savory drinks and if I go back I think we were all eyeing the curry one. The fried chicken sandwiches are decent. I got the mochi donut one which was kind of sweet salty like orange chicken, but the most memorable part of it was that the jalapeño was spicier than the hot sandwich lol. The donut is not a mochi donut but its a pretty good texture, think it needed to be more of a baked good/powdery sweetness vs a syrupy acidic sweet from the glaze. The hot chicken sandwich was my favorite. I didnt get much salted egg yolk flavor from the bites I took of the other one, but I felt like that one lacked complexity. Overall, its pretty nice if you have a medium sized group for the couch seating. Seating is quite tight on the bar.

Rating: 3.1/5 [dine in] The drinks were very creative with unique flavors, but overall they missed the mark for me in terms of taste. Everyone in our group had different opinions on each item. We came with a party of six, so the 20% gratuity was automatically added. I don't think the service warranted it, as they didn't set our table and we had to ask for plates and utensils. The salted egg yolk options were disappointing. The sauce on its own ($4) tasted off, and the Salted Egg Yolk Sandwich ($18) ended up being my least favorite of the night. The hot honey items also fell short. The sauce ($4) was just okay and more mellow than expected, and the Hot Honey Sandwich ($18) barely had any heat or sweetness. It ended up tasting like a plain chicken sandwich. The Thai Basil Aioli Sauce ($4) was the standout of the three. I kept dunking and pouring it on everything. The Popcorn Chicken ($13) worked especially well with it and turned out to be the best bite for me and my mom. The bite-sized crispy chicken had much more flavor and texture compared to the bland chicken used in the sandwiches. For cocktails, the Mango Sticky Rice ($20) was a hit with most of the table, but I didn't enjoy it--the flavor just struck me as odd. The Cold Pizza ($21) really did taste like a margherita pizza in liquid form. The first sip was interesting, but after that I realized I didn't want to drink my pizza. I liked the Custard Bun ($22) more than I expected. It wasn't overly sweet and ended up being my favorite cocktail. The Japanese Cold Noodle ($21), on the other hand, was recommended to my mom when she asked for something like a piña colada, but it wasn't even close. It tasted like soba noodles and didn't deliver on refreshment. The Mochi Donut Sandwich ($22) had the most creative presentation. One of the buns was a mochi donut, and they suggested flipping it upside down to keep it from getting messy. The flavors actually worked better together than I thought they would, making it one of the more balanced dishes. read more
The best bar I've ever been to, totally worth the hype! We visited on a Wednesday night with a reservation for 4. I highly recommend making a reservation a week before you plan to visit or else you risk not getting seated period! Great staff and clean shop. They are so thoughtful and intentional with their drinks and their service! We ordered a key lime pie, Japanese cold noodle, French toast, mango sticky rice, custard bun, and cold pizza. All the drinks were sooo smooth and went down nicely with a nice buzz! They also tasted EXACTLY like the food they were inspired by. Fan favorite was the key lime pie, but I got to give them props for the cold pizza one. 5 drinks came out to $140. A bit pricey, but so worth it! I would recommend! read more
I've been dyingggggg to go here for years. A random Tuesday night solo dolo on a New York visit got me there! I sat at the bar in the very front, which I didn't know serves a different, rotating menu then the classic menu with the pizza cocktail and popcorn chicken in the back room. So when I looked at the menu handed to me (see photos) I had to double check I was at the desired spot. I was lol. The menu theme was favorite cartoons. I loved my drinks, one a little sweeter and fun (The Pooh) and the other more serious & dirty martini-esque (Ogres Have Layers). Both gin. LOVED. One guy next to me got the Forbidden D'ohnut and it truly smelled like a strawberry frosted glazed donut. Such impressive and complex flavors that were so well balanced. The one food item I got (which was not the popcorn chicken I had been desiring for a few hours) was good but I'd recommend someone try something else on the menu, like the chicken & the egg or pig's blood cake (which the guys next to me enjoyed). Can't wait to come and enjoy the OG menu! This place absolutely fully worth the hype. read more
I walked in at 5:20 on a Thursday. There was space at the front bar but a 45 mins wait for the back for 1 person. I opted for the front because i was in a time crunch but honestly it was perfect. All of their drinks are innovative and fun. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the interior was beautiful. Great option if you can make it over. read more
Finally went to the infamous double chicken please twice in both rooms. The back room wasn't too hard yo get into. We waited about 45 minutes before opening and got a great seat at the bar. I had the pizza cocktail and the butter raisin. The pizza drink was super interesting but just didn't remind me of pizza and I found the flavors confusing. The butter raisin drink was so good but just too sweet. My friends key lime pie cocktail was delicious The second time we went to the front room which we went to later so it was a longer process to get in. The stuffed chicken wings were good but the ones at Bangkok supper club were better. The oolong pudding was literally delicious and so so yummy. The anyone can cook cocktail was absolutely delicious. Really great flavors that worked. The Pooh was also apparently really good as well. Service was good as well. I do feel that this bar may be a bit over rated though. read more
This place has been always packed! I had to try :) It was perfect catching up with friends. Inside is so beautiful! I love how moody, intimate, dimly lit space! The restaurant is actually really big but you must have a reservation for tables. All the servers were really sweet. We enjoyed the unique cocktails and bites :) If you don't know what to order? Popcorn chicken with hot honey sauce is the good choice I tell you!! read more
This place is so fun with the exquisite and unique cocktails they make. Be warned, it is highly recommended that you get reservations or you come real early or after midnight or so to get in easily or else you're looking at over an hour or so wait. I was lucky to get in within half an hour and was able to have a couple of tasty drinks at the normal bad. I heard the food is good but I didn't get a chance to try it. The coop is where all the magic happens. The atmosphere and vibe is pretty dope and lively. The drinks as described on the menu, all taste like what they are. The melon prosciutto was excellent. My favorite was the thai curry that wasn't too sweet even with the Popsicle. I got to try the Waldorf salad which was also fun and great. The staff was super attentive despite the busyness of the environment. One of the best cocktail bars I've been to. read more
There's a reason why there's such hype surrounding this place. For our group of three on a Thursday night, we were able to get some standing space in the front room immediately before we were moved to their back room almost two hours later. We tried some of their drinks in the front: P.U.T.S - I loved the sparkling wine and pineapple combo. The hint of peanut butter was great too! Side Kart - The mushroom concept was unique, but not for my taste. In the back, we tried: Popcorn chicken: Crispy, well-seasoned, and quickly gone by our group. Key Lime Pie: My favorite drink of the night! Sweet with a hint of gin that I basically forgot it was alcoholic. Japanese Cold Noodle: Loved the strong cold noodle taste with pineapple & cucumber! Although they were busy, the servers took care of us well, and it was quick & friendly service in regards to serving us food and drinks! read more

We returned to try The Coop after our disappointing experience in the Free Range. We lined up around 430 before they opened at 5 to get a seat at 5. The line got really long towards 5 and there were probably 60-70 people there already. We were able to be seated with the first group at the bar. -Shroom Ceviche: Tasted like a twist on a dirty martini- not a fan as I don't care for martinis. -Cold Soba Noodle: Light and refreshing. -Cold Pizza: Wouldn't say this necessarily tastes like pizza, I would actually call this drink Garden because it tasted like a cold tomato soup with herbs. -Mango Sticky Rice: Like a manhattan with a lingering taste of sticky rice -Key Lime Pie: Literally tastes like a key lime pie. Probably our favorite. The fried chicken was also good. The popcorn chicken was super hot and crispy, easy to share with a large group. The salt yolk fried chicken sandwich was rich. The mochi donut fried chicken sandwich was unique, but a bit hard to eat. Overall a unique experience. Time is limited to 90 minutes for 2, which I wish we had be warned about as we only had 10 minutes left for our last round of drinks. It's def worth a try, but I don't think I would return if we had to wait again. read more
We got super luck and were able to walk into the back room around 8:00pm without any waiting on a Friday night. - Key lime cocktail: 100000/10 (actually tastes like key lime pie and omg it's soooo creamy and slightly sour and good!!! Tbh best cocktail in double chicken please, other than its pizza cocktail) Service was good, except they didn't notify us about how long we could stay and we were pretty much rushed out by the 1 hour mark. read more
Visiting new york and had to come to Double Chicken Please! Went on a Tuesday evening around 4:50, and there were around 20 or so people ahead in line. As I went by myself, I was seated right away. The decor inside is pretty funny, with a lot of chicken-themed decor and art around The Coop, and a moody setting. Cocktails: Cold Pizza (Main) - Tastes like a margarita pizza, zesty and tomatoey with a touch of basil, pretty interesting cocktail. Fun concept and good sweetness balanced with acidity. Key Lime Pie (Dessert) - Amazing!! Tastes spot on with key lime pie. It's super easy to drink, has a good lime flavor. Food: Hot-honey Chicken Sandwich - Really good chicken sandwich! Uses a brioche bun so it's light and airy, the chicken is tender throughout and is paired with a delicious sauce. Tastes very Taiwanese imo. Service was great, the bartenders would check up on you to see how you were doing, would constantly refill water. They're also quite knowledgeable about the drinks and check for allergies, which is nice. Even got a complimentary shot to end the night. Definitely visit if you can, would come back! read more
We stopped by for drinks and a quick bite late night on Saturday and there was a wait. We ended up getting a spot at the bar - they have a different menu for drinks and food at the bar. I was a bit sad as they did not have the regular chicken sandwich's on the bar menu. For drinks, we got pooh and Puts and honestly the pooh was one of the best drinks we had on our week long trip! So well made and the bartender was right, I can see why they're popular. I was hungry and so we got the stuffed chicken wings and the lobster shiso tempura - the tempura was a winner! So crispy and paired so well with the aioli. This really made me wish we dined here for a full meal. Great service, very good drinks and an amazing food menu! Highly recommend this spot! read more
5 stars ONLY for the bar in the front of Double Chicken Please, which was easy to snag a seat on a weeknight without reservations (as we waited for a seat in the more popular back bar also without reservations) Being preggos I couldnt have any drinks but hubby felt the drinks at the front bar were less sweet and more balanced ---stuffed chicken wings: yummy and grilled instead of fried so not too heavy ---lobster shiso tempura: light and not too heavy! Back bar food was too heavy for us ---salted yolk sandwich: the chicken was sounded so thin it was dry and mostly breading, salted egg yolk did not go well ---popcorn chicken: nothing special and the dipping sauces we paid extra for (each) also were just ok NOTE: We are so glad we went to the front bar first, the back bar was really disappointing (food and drinks) and much louder, so harder to have a conversation read more
I only tried the front room, but I would definitely love to come back to try the back room! I liked the food, it was very creative (I tried the egg dog). The drinks are very unique and made to look pretty. The bartender was so kind and kept checking in on us. I liked the noisy and warm ambiance. It is usually very crowded, and the wait can get pretty loud on the weekend. Overall it's a great bar, maybe a bit pricey though. read more

Every time i end up at the delancey essex stop i just get reminded of the existence of this spot and the ever present line outside. My friend and i serendipitously ended up there after work on a Friday and i Immediately thought of DCP and how it had prob just opened. So we put our names down and were inside in great time. The drinks are incredible as expected, i lovedddd the mango sticky rice. It is very oaky and complex and perfectly sweet. Not an old fashioned girl usually but this made me wonder if i could be (probably not unless they taste like this tho) The tofu sandwich was so good!!!! Really yum nutty sauce and they give you like an entire block of tofu which is so awesum read more
Expectations were high for this place for the unique drinks and im glad i was able to try it even though i dont really like alcohol lol. We got a lot of the popular drinks like pizza and cold noodle but our favorite was the key lime pie. We also got the mochi donut chicken sandwich, salted egg yolk chicken sandwich, and popcorn chicken. Overall we liked the food more than the drinks esp the mochi donut sandwich which surprisingly wasnt too sweet read more
It really is as good as people say! Came here with a friend and put down our name on a Friday afternoon, and were able to get in within an hour for the back room. We tired the mango sticky rice and cold noodle cocktails, both of which were refreshing and unique. I particularly liked how the mango sticky rice cocktail transformed flavors from the first sip to the aftertaste. Tofu sandwich was also bomb! The service was quite attentive, which I appreciate given it's a busy atmosphere. Note that the max time is around 1-1.5 hours, so it's pretty quick. read more
DCP overall deserves its flowers - I've been three times now, and their signature cocktails in the backroom/Coop like the Cold Pizza, Key Lime Pie, and Mango Sticky Rice are pretty much legend status in the NYC bar scene. The most recent time I went was for their collab with Alquímico from Colombia and Tres Monos from Guatemala. I had high hopes for three "World's 50 Best Bars" honorees in one space, but the event was rather poorly run and disappointing. For a $60 per head entry price, each person got 1 cocktail and what was advertised as "unlimited bites." The cocktails themselves were excellent, as expected - I particularly liked the Yuca made with pisco. Unfortunately, the event was pretty clearly oversold - the space was packed with barely any room to move, and the kitchen clearly could not keep up making food. All the seating and food being served was prioritized for reps from the event co-sponsors. A few harried servers occasionally emerged with trays for the rest of the crowd bearing little plates of fries, mini donuts, and chicken sliders, which were instantly descended upon and snapped up like vultures flocking to fresh carrion. I later found out that the event was part of Bar Convent Brooklyn, an annual industry event. That explained a lot - the event often felt like it was something industry insiders were throwing for themselves and allowing others to join in for $60 a pop. Sadly, that meant that being lost in the mix was any sense of hospitality. read more
Popped in right at 5pm opening, hoping to dodge the infamous 2-hour wait. Got lucky and snagged seats at the outdoor bar, which has a different menu than inside. The menu was wild--super creative with some out-there ingredients that had us raising eyebrows. Our server was a gem, super patient, and walked us through how the menu worked, which was a lifesaver. We played it safe and ordered cocktails from the "taste" section, nervous about the savory options. Honestly? They were surprisingly delicious! Couldn't even pick out the weird ingredients we were worried about. Drinks tasted great but weren't fancy or Instagram-cute--just solid on flavor. Didn't try food this time. If there's no wait, I'd come back to explore more. But I'm not about that line life. Cool spot, though! read more
Vibes in here were super cute and the server was nice. I tried a plethora of drinks: cold noodle, key lime pie, umami mushroom, mango sticky rice, and French toast. Honestly I really didn't like them, but if I had to order another I would get the cold noodle or key lime pie. Cold noodle was the most refreshing for sure. The popcorn chicken was absolutely delicious but mine had a hair in it. Server brought me a new one which I appreciated. Would def come back, I do get the hype. Just didn't love the drinks but I'm not a huge cocktail person anyway read more
COOP at Double Chicken Please was undeniably unique. There was a lot of creativity and most drinks were Asian inspired. Reservation for our group 8 was booked pretty far in advance and we sampled nearly the entire drink menu. Favorites out of 16 drinks -- Japanese Cold Noodles, Mango Sticky Rice, Red Eye Gravy, Key Lime Pie, Cold Pizza, Osmanthus Bronx. The drinks aren't alcohol forward cocktails, they're crafted to replicate the flavors food in liquid form. While the experience was innovative, we thought DCP was only worth trying once. Nonetheless, DCP Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was incredibly DELISH! Impressively crispy with so much dimension and texture. Easily one of the best chicken sandwiches, we enjoyed this far way more than the experimental cocktails. The expectation is high being rated as No.14 in the World's 50 Best Bar, but DCP is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Try to fully immerse yourself in the unique concept, you may find find something you enjoy and come to appreciate the craftsmanship. read more
Double Chicken Please is definitely worth visiting if you're in NYC; their drinks are super creative, unlike anything I'd ever seen. They are delicious with a unique twist, though I don't know that they are significantly better than other spots around town. I popped in line on a Wednesday at 4:30 PM and was able to get seated in The Coop (the back where they do the signature cocktails) no problem. If you don't get seated in the first batch, you may have to wait a bit as there aren't a ton of seats. Japanese Cold Noodle (4.5/5): This was actually my favorite drink: super refreshing cucumber with just a hint of soba - how did they do that?? Insanely smooth and absolute home run. Cold Pizza (3/5): I didn't love this one, the cheese flavor just wasn't my favorite, but I was really impressed how much they managed to get a drink to taste like bread. The stencil on top was fun and the glass was a 10/10. Key Lime Pie (4/5): A banger of a sweet cocktail. Foam on top added a nice bit of creaminess to balance the tartness from the lime. I don't know that this one impressed me from a flavor perspective quite as much, but I did enjoy it. Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Sandwich / Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich (4.25/5): Both options were amazing and me and my partner were split on which we preferred. The chicken is HUGE, super juicy, and with a popcorn chicken style crust. Personally, I preferred the non-pretzel bun with the funk of the salted egg yolk, but you really can't go wrong with either. read more
Popped by on a rainy Wednesday night, when the line wasn't hours long, and now I totally understand the hype! First, I didn't realize they've divided their space into a front ("Free Range") and back ("The Coop"), with separate menus. We were in the front for this visit, which has cocktails and lighter fare. Will definitely be back to try The Coop in the future! In terms of the drinks, Double Chicken Please delivered amazing cocktails. I had the P.U.T.S. and it was incredibly light and refreshing, like a Tom Collins with a more unique flavor profile. I also tried the Forbidden D'ohnut, which was a bit sweeter and smooth with each sip. The oolong pudding was also great, with a whisky-infused whipped cream that paired with the pudding itself. Really balanced and delicious! DCP has earned its long lines, I'll definitely be coming back in the future! read more
I was quoted a 3 hour wait when I arrived around 5:30pm on a Holiday but it only ended up taking 1.5 hours. The best drink was certainly the key lime pie. I also enjoyed the thai curry as it came with a little popsicle and the french toast because of the cookie. The cold pizza was interesting to try but not my favorite. The cold noodles were also interesting and worth trying. The only drink I strongly DO NOT recommend is the mango sticky rice - it tastes nothing like mango sticky rice and just isn't tasty. The rum is super super overpowering. The best sandwich was the hot honey one. The salted yolk sandwich was not as good and the salted egg part wasn't super distinguishable. The tofu sandwich was good but the inside of the tofu is cold so they could do a better job heating it up. read more
Had a reservation at the front room, Free Range, and it was the perfect intro to Double Chicken Please's inventive menu. What really stood out was their lineup of cocktails inspired by iconic dishes and cartoon characters. My favorite was hands down the Ratatouille cocktail. The way it captured the actual flavor profile of the dish in drink form was mind-blowing. Every drink felt like a creative experiment in the best way. Definitely worth the hype. Anyone Can Cook (Grey Goose Vodka sparkling wine zucchini, bell pepper tomato, garlic, shallot thyme, apple) read more
Heard such amazing things about this place and I do think it lived up to the hype! The drinks were innovative and super fun, loved the key lime pie and custard bun! They really tasted like described and were super fun to taste. We got the popcorn chicken to share and really liked the diff sauces too especially the Thai basil aioli. I will say the chicken sandwich was a little disappointing it was basically a lot of popcorn chickens in a sandwich form that was pretty hard to eat but it was still tasty but nothing that amazing, the popcorn chicken was great already. Wait times were long and we got in line about 4:15pm and were seated immediately but the line became very long from about 4:30pm onwards. Be prepared to wait if you come later! read more

My partner and I were lucky enough to be able to put our names down with under an hour wait recently - after about 40 minutes, we received the text that our spot was ready and we were seated at the end of the bar! We both really enjoyed our drinks, unique and delicious! Food-wise we ordered a lot of great bites too. Our favorites were the salted duck egg sandwich along with the chicken liver mousse.. but honestly it was all great! Fun and chic spot for a drink and bites. Definitely has a NY feel, so would bring friends visiting as well! read more
I'd been sitting on a Double Chicken Please gift card--furnished by my employer--for a solid 18 months before finally having an opportunity to use it. Shoutout to Morlene C. for fighting for the midnight Resy drops to snag us a table in The Coop. Normally, I'm not about the 9pm weeknight dinner life, but when it's an excuse to catch up with my AsianBurst girlies, I will rally. As wildly hyped as this establishment is on every single top bars list right now, I'll admit that it unquestionably lives up to its reputation. However, from my perspective, it's worth going in with the expectation that this is, first and foremost, a bar. While their food situation warrants appreciation, their cocktail game is the real draw. Their drink schtick (at the time of my visit) was food-themed cocktails. The mad scientists behind the bar have taken the essence of various dishes (e.g., Waldorf salad, key lime pie, even cold pizza) and distilled them--no pun intended--down to their respective flavor essences, then transposed those into shockingly nuanced and thoroughly enjoyable libations. You might imagine the kitsch of this concept to result in wholly unpalatable concoctions, so I was stunned to discover that each and every drink was innovative yet still exquisitely balanced. On top of an outstanding product, the classy yet casual service also landed well. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, and for some of the drinks that arrived with an element of showmanship, she executed the delivery with panache. Typically, I don't find myself hanging out at a drinking establishment for more than an hour or 90 minutes, but we were gently reminded that the 11:00pm seating was waiting on us to vacate our table as we were wrapping up. Fair warning: if you plan to go for two rounds here (and, I promise, you'll want more than one round!), you're likely to butt up against your two-hour reservation window, so some hustle may be required to keep pace. I don't foresee being personally willing to frantically refresh their reso page at midnight just to score a future visit here, but if someone else is willing to do it for me, I'm so there. Just sayin'. read more

Dropped by at 12:30am, did not have to wait to be seated, ordered one cocktail - "Pocket of Sweet" - and it brought me back to life ---- best drink I've had in a while, 10/10. I'll be back bc I have to try the rest of the cocktails lol read more
The cocktails here are mind blowing - we loved key lime pie and japanese cold noodle the most. Cold pizza was controversial but i think it's worth a try - the flavor changes in your mouth and it's a wild experience. The chicken sandwiches were also excellent - hot honey chicken was our favorite. It's a little dark inside and seating is in close quarters. Our waitress was really warm and helpful! Our experience waiting to get in: We came on a Friday and put our names in line at 5pm for 3 - the estimated wait time was 2.5-3 hours but it ended up taking 1 hr and 45 min. read more
AMAZING DELICIOUS COCKTAILS! There's two sides to this bar. One in the front called Free Range, and the actual DCP in the back. The concept in the front is more casual and laidback with cocktails inspired by cartoons. We were first seated at Free Range while we waited for a table in the back. At Free Range, I ordered the Pooh, which was sooo good. The foam on top was delicious too. We also ordered their grapefruit ice oysters which was a delicious treat to the heat wave we experience in NYC. Later we got moved to the back where it was the actual DCP concept. The cocktails here were inspired by food, and omg they do such a good job here bc it LITERALLY tasted like the food it described. I got the Key Lime Pie inspired cocktail and it was SO delicious and decadent. As for food we got their mochi doughnut chicken sandwich which was FIRE. The mochi doughnut was perfectly dense and the fried chicken was so bomb. Overall great experience and would totally come back again. Love love love their drinks. read more
I finally got the chance to go to double chicken please, thanks to a friend who got a reservation. It's hard to get into this place, there was a line at 5pm on a Wednesday waiting to get in. I once came by and was quoted a 5 hour wait. Having a reservation is definitely recommended! The place is pretty small and intimate, they have bar seating and couches with low tables. More so lounge / bar vibes than formal restaurant. We were a group of 6 so we ordered a lot of the menu and got to taste a bit of everything. The drinks menu is split into 3 sections "appetizers, mains, desserts" since all the drinks are modeled after well-known dishes. From the appetizer section, we got Japanese cold noodle and shroom ceviche. Mains we got cold pizza, red eye gravy, Thai curry, and mango sticky rice. From the desserts section, we got French toast, custard bun, and key lime pie. The favorites were key lime pie, Japanese cold noodle, and French toast. All the ones in the main section were strong and more liquor forward- which was not the preference of my group but I can see a lot of people liking them! For food- we got popcorn chicken, cucumbers, mushroom poppers, hot honey chicken sandwich and mochi donut chicken sandwich. The popcorn chicken was amazing, would definitely recommend getting that. The mochi donut sandwich was so unique but I liked the more classic hot honey chicken sandwich. Overall, I had a great time. They offer really creative and well executed menu items. Would love to go again if I can snag a reservation! read more
Fun cocktails, some are more surprising than others. Cold pizza - yes. Basil and tomato flavors are prominent, slightly sweet, very interesting take Key lime pie - love that you can actually taste the pie component Egg tart - too eggy/heavy/sweet imo Cold soba noodle - nothing special here NY beet salad - basically a beet juice smoothie which was not groundbreaking, though I did enjoy the mascarpone and yogurt topping Shroom ceviche - very dashi forward and briny, almost like a martini. Had a apple gummy bubble thing at the bottom which was okay read more
Hands down, one of the best chicken sandwich spots I've had--and the drinks fully lived up to the hype. We came during peak dinner hours, and as expected, there was a pretty long waitlist. Luckily, we got seated at the bar area first, which made the wait way more enjoyable. While waiting, we snacked on their oysters, and they were honestly great--super fresh and a perfect way to start the night. We also tried a lineup of their cocktails: Grand Lotus, P.U.T.S, Side Kart, Forbidden D'ohnut, Space Dog, Pocket of Sweet, and Anyone Can Cook. Each one had its own unique profile--definitely not your typical cocktail bar menu. Once we were moved to the dinner section, we ordered the Honey Chicken Sandwich, Custard Bun, and the Mango Sticky Rice drink. Everything delivered--flavorful, creative, and worth the wait. The sandwich especially was next level. Now I get why it's rated #1 bar--from the oysters to the drinks and food, the whole experience is cohesive and well-executed. Would definitely come back. read more

First time visiting New York can't wait to go back and try some more drinks. Cocktails are fantastic with different flavors and different styles. I love how each drink has a unique presentations. The decor was a minimal style which i like it a lot. I wish LA had a bar like this. And the service was beyond amazing. read more

I do think this place is slightly overrated, but it also just doesn't exactly fit my taste preferences. Overall, the bar itself is quite nice and we were able to get seated with a group of 6 within an hour after putting our names on the waitlist on a Friday night which was nice. We ordered quite a variety of drinks - the key lime pie, mango sticky rice, custard bun, french toast, earl grey, and japanese cold noodle. All of them did taste a lot like the foods they were meant to replicate - almost strangely so for me. This made it a little hard to stomach imo since the custard bun one, for example, was really thick and sweet. The best was definitely the key lime pie which was spot on in flavor and not that overwhelming. We also tried their popcorn chicken which was quite good, and the salted egg yolk sauce was really great too. Easily demolished. Overall, I won't wait again for this place but it's worth a visit! read more
One of my cocktail bars I've been to! Couldn't get a reservation so we got there at 4:15 PM and were 8th in line and able to be in the first seating for the back room. I am partial to sweet drinks so I ordered the key lime pie which was creamy but with the tartness of the lime, and custard bun which was so impressive to me because it had the exact taste & even had an aftertaste that was reminiscent of the finish of a custard bun. Both were super dessert-like and yummy, the alcohol was well hidden. Would skip the popcorn chicken though, pepper seasoning was good but the chicken was surprisingly dry. The bar is also a well curated vibe with moody lighting and tons of fun chicken references. Worth the wait. read more
Fun, delicious themed drinks! The front "standing room" area has drinks inspired by cartoon characters, and back "coop" has food inspired cocktails. The waitlist for the coop gets insanely long, so come early or reserve far in advance (very limited seats are allocated for reservations). We were able to get into the front standing area at 10 pm on a Saturday so don't be discouraged if you don't have a reservation! There are a lot of creative, Asian inspired drinks and food that are worth trying. The staff is friendly and helpful, the ambiance is upbeat with slightly loud music / talking. Everything runs a bit on the sweet side. read more

Are service dogs allowed?
I have a reservation at 11pm. Is there a separate entrance for the back room? Do I still need to wait on line if I have a reservation?
There's no separate entrance but you don't need to wait in line - tell the people at the front door and they'll usher you into the front room to wait for your table to clear up.
Do you need reservations?
Backroom reservations open 6 days ahead at exactly 12 am. They disappear almost instantly within a minute. Best bet, if you miss it is to show up right when it opens. Wait time can range from 0-3 hours up until 5:30-6:00 pm. After that, good luck… Read more
