    Small fries, small tots
    Jillian B.

    Idaho has been on my radar for a bit now, given my love for fries! Finally had an opportunity to swing on by with my partner recently. Drink prices were pretty on par with the area, and the food menu is expectedly small with burgers and fries. With a name like Idaho, I was expecting the fries and tots to be next level... they were a bit more average. Still good! Just not mind-blowing. Vibe of the bar is chill, staff is cool too. Would swing by again if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.

    Great neighborhood joint. I stopped in to enjoy their air conditioners. I'm having a huckleberry lemonade which contains vodka. It's delicious. Highly recommend.

    Happy Birthday

    Just held a 30th Birthday party for my daughter. Jake, the owner, and both bartenders could not have been more attentive and easy to work with. The bar itself is stylish and fun. The drinks and food were also terrific. I couldn't be happier about how everything was handled. Good time had by all

    Incredible bar. Brings Idaho. Get the huckleberry lemonade and try the fry sauce. You need to try it out. Really nice people.

    It's my new favorite bar in the East Village. The cocktails are so good and Trivia Tuesdays are super fun.

    Idaho is a fantastic new cocktail bar designed by industry veterans! Cozy, delicious and super fun with warm and inviting staff! Totally recommend for any occasion! This should be your local if you live downtown in east or west village!

    Crispy buttery salted fries with two drinks

    Service was great and the fries were bomb, I loved the idaho sauce! 10/10. Drinks were strong

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

As for food, there were some true hits but most of the food was good but basic. The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

    Attaboy absolutely lives up to the hype…read more From the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for something special. Our bartender, Zack, was phenomenal. Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint). But honestly, that probably helps keep the experience moving and allows more people to enjoy this special spot. Attaboy is a great example of why NYC has such a legendary cocktail scene. The drinks, the craftsmanship, and the personal attention make it clear why this place gets so much attention. We'll absolutely be back.

The concept is simple: tell the bartenders what type of liquor and flavors you enjoy, and they create a custom cocktail just for you. I think it helps to go in with a few ideas, but if you give them some creative freedom, they can really surprise you. I honestly cannot remember all the ingredients in my drinks, but I do remember loving every sip. Such a unique spot and a fun experience. Definitely small inside so you may have to wait awhile. I only wish I lived closer!

Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only
