    Stumbled into this place to have a drink while waiting for pizza next door. I've been to the deli many times and their food is phenomenal, but didn't have a chance to try this side of the speakeasy's food. The drinks however were strong, unique, and delicious. This is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood since the irish bar closed down next door and the east end bar on the other side can be a little crowded and rowdy. The relaxing atmosphere and moody dim lightning is the perfect setting for a romantic date in a more casual atmosphere. Can't wait to come back for a real night out and try some of the other drinks and food!

    The Korean food is incredible, especially the wings. The soju cocktails are also great.

    Very cute little place. Intimate & well decorated. Dimmer lighting and darker colors, good for…read moredates. Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

The Vibe Cozy, comfortable, and full of surprises. Some nights are mellow and chill, perfect for catching up with friends. Other nights, you'll walk in and it feels like a Colombian street festival -- music pumping, people celebrating, energy everywhere. The Drinks This is a cocktail-first spot, and their selection is next-level. If you don't know what to order, just tell the staff what flavors or spirits you like -- they'll craft something spot-on every time. Presentation? Always . The Food Yes, they have bites -- but don't come hungry. The small plates are designed to complement your drinks, not replace dinner. The Extras Live DJs, curated sets, and even surprise performances -- this place keeps things fresh and exciting without losing its cozy feel. The Staff Absolutely outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Good vibes in, good vibes back. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city. Whether you want a low-key Tuesday or a Saturday night that feels like carnival season, this place delivers every time.

    I don't even know where to begin. From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone--warm,…read moreattentive, and deeply intentional. There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

The menu changes in a spectacular. Everything ordered was delicious. I wasn't super hungry to order the roasted cauliflower and could have eaten two more plates. The portions are great for the price and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend.

    This is another somewhat new spot in Harlem whose vibe I can't quite grasp, mainly because I'm not…read moresure who they're trying to attract. It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer. Came, saw... ehhh.

The place is narrow but long and def maximize the space which made it feel big. Got a couple Narragansett Lagers ($6 each) to start and the Spanish & artichoke dip ($16) which was really good and it's served with sliced buttered baguette bread that was toasted which was a great compliment. Also got a Kentucky mule ($17) which was solid and pretty strong. They also have a backyard patio with seating, def a chill vibe. I could see why this is my friends go to spot. This is now my go to spot if I'm ever around the area lol Highly recommend this spot for chill night with good convo. * Everyday Happy Hour * Street parking * Good service * Can be kinda LOUD outside the surrounding area (ain't no music on) but quiet inside
