Would never return here. This place was a safety hazard with the amount of people they were letting in. Thinking there was more space in the back I led my group of four to the back of the bar and one of my friends was told by the bartender he wouldn't serve her because there was a "private party" going on. There was no indication of it being a private space, merely tiny illegible signs on one table. If they wanted to exclude others from "trespassing" they should think about putting some barricades to avoid confusion. As we attempted to move from this so called private party to a diff bartender, the same bartender came up to us and told us he wouldn't serve us again because we were rude.. save yourself the headache and don't come here read more

My friends threw me a surprise party at Mister Paradise and we had a great time! The minimum spend was not too high and we were able to order drinks / food from the happy hour menu. They let us bring in our own cake and brought it out with candles. Their drinks were very good. My favorite was their pornstar martini which is somehow as clear as water. Overall, great place. Would love to go again. read more

Before I start: trevor(i pray that is how they spell it) is an absolute gem of a human. Elevated, elegant, and sensual. The interior is sleek, modern, and the booths are just calling for a drunk make out sesh--not without a few drinks first. Those dim lights, a well executed menu. Please get the spicy lobster. It may be sleek and modern, but they still have plenty of whimsy and fun! I came early so i beat the rush but I appreciate trevor taking the time to share some insights, a bit of their story, and of course, a shot! In a street inundated with great bars, mister paradise contends with those at the top! read more

I came here with a friend for drinks on a Tuesday night. We got there around 9pm; we sat at the bar, since those were the only seats available. I had one of the mocktails, which to my surprise, only cost $12 (as of June '25). The service was good and I really liked the ambiance. It was very on brand for "New York cocktail bar." read more

Came for a company happy hour and everyone agreed that the food was delicious, the vibes were immaculate, and the drinks were great. Our group was quickly served drinks and dishes, everything from wine, cocktails, breads, dips, sliders, charcuterie and every bar tapa you can think of under the sun. I tried the cougar magnum and party lobster cocktails which were both tasty. They also do a great job with the classics such as gin & tonics, espresso martinis, and lemon drop shots to name a few of what I sampled. My favorite bites for the night were the beef sliders and the toasted bread with cheese, charcuterie, and jam. Ambiance is that of an upscale moody lounge. And since our group was big, we were able to secure both a booth and the red room. The red room was a great sultry vibe and service staff came to check on us multiple times during our visit. It was a truly fun experience and many of us would come back again for drinks on our own time. read more

Beautiful cocktails! A great place to hang out and grab a drink with a friend - the place gets super crowded but we managed to wrangle seats at the bar. It's colorful with great decor and when it's quieter it's also a vibe. Would definitely recommend! read more

The vibe of this place is super cool and fun. The drinks are subtle looking but have some extreme flavors. It was very hard to finish the Scuba Steve drink. read more

Mister Paradise - Scuba Steve - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Lovely bar with great decor and delicious drinks! Would be a cute place for a date night, esp on quieter nights. It can get very loud, especially on weekends, but that's normal for nyc. The crowd skews mid 20s. It's a nice place with lovely ambiance. I'm looking forward to returning! read more

After dinner, we came by here for a drink. The space was crowded so there was only standing room and it took awhile to order our drinks, which didn't give us the best experience. I had the Yankee Clipper ($18), which was decent with a foamy top. It wasn't too special and the crowd killed it for me. I'd skip this on a Saturday night if you want to have an actual conversation with your company. read more

Mister Paradise - Yankee Clipper and Grace Kelly..? - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Absolutely wonderful bar with the most welcoming staff and energy. The place is beautifully appointed, has been open since around 2019, and service is as good as it gets for really reasonable prices (reasonable by East Village standards). Shout out to bartender Tony who immediately picked up on my energy when I said: "I would like something in the spritz family but I don't really know what." After a short amount of deliberation on the silliness scale of my cocktail (aperol spritz being a 0, I told him to please make me a 10) he served me a punchy drink in a Disney princess sippy cup MUCH to my delight. They know how to do conversation starters and hospitality at this bar, so I highly recommend for solo travelers looking to make friends/have fun. Complimentary espresso martini shots were shared among the bar, and I left with great memories and a strong buzz. I came around 5:30 on a Saturday and was able to easily find a seat at the bar, but it filled in very soon after. I didn't try and food but the menu seems great. I will be back anytime I find myself in the area and appreciate the wonderful team here for the time! read more

stopped in recently, cool bar, can get busy, nice vibe. tried a few drinks but none were really my speed. they have a HH that has a few classic cocktails. read more

Worst venue one can imagine. If you're considering booking this place for a group event/birthday get ready to get ignored for 20 minutes before getting to talk to anyone for service, and get ready for a broken table in the room!! I booked their red room for my birthday and I confirmed the booking with them via email multiple times. When we arrived NO ONE hosted us or led us to the room, and it took forever for me to try to talk to someone to get us seated. Star of the show was that the marble table in their red room was BROKEN! Yet no one told me about this before our arrival and I literally had to 1) navigated the bar by myself to find the Red Room; 2) walked in the room with no one serving us to find that the table was crashed. Mind you the room has a minimum spending and I was coming ready to hit that only to get ignored and find a broken table in the room. What a birthday. read more

Past by just by chance very nice atmosphere is giving 1970s. Their seating is all comfortable looking booths . I sat at the bar greeted by the bartender Chase staff is very friendly drinks where great he said they all participate in creating new drinks . I ordered the crab toast on sourdough tasty. Chase made a great espresso martini read more

From the bright opening entrance to the friendly greeting from the bartenders, this joint started off great and finished even better. The drinks are impeccable. I've almost flown the whole menu and will happily order all of them again. The party monster, gold mask, and frozen heaven known as Slushtin Bieber are highlights. The apps and food are fresh and delectable. I don't know what they're putting in the almond dip, but it should probably come with a warning because I can't stop needing it. Been twice and will be back many more times. Added bonus-bartenders are very kind and relaxed read more

Mister Paradise is conveniently located near the restaurant where we had dinner. The bar gives off vacation vibes. Unfortunately, it was pretty packed, so we had to stand. Staff provided great recommendations on the cocktail menu. The Party Lobster was tasty and strong - Fruity, tangy, and smoky. I usually don't like mezcal but the smokiness enhanced the flavor of the drink for sure. read more

This place is bad. The drinks were horrible and the vibe is the worst of the worst. A stark reminder of how the east village has changed for the worst. On top of that, a staff member told me I couldn't leave until he cleaned up my area. No joke! read more

Wonderful selection of cocktails, cozy ambiance, and great service! Cute spot for a drink. read more

Chase = best bartender you can have. The atmosphere, drinks, food are top notch. I truly enjoy coming here and the staff amplifies this. The drinks are awesome, the staff is awesome, the food is awesome. Can't say enough positive things about this establishment. read more

Really great cocktails and nice waiters. Drinks were very good, not too sweet and very chilled. Good happy hour deals. Food available as well. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great decor and loved the layout. On a nice day they open up the big front windows to get some fresh air in the bar. read more

Service is absolutely slow. Every single kne of their staff gathers around each other & does not attend to their guests. Wait over 20+ minutes just to get a drink order & over 30 to receive a simple burger that was on HH. Wouldn't recommend, definitely some other great spots in the East Village to try out. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night at around 8 for a drink while we waited for our 9 PM reservation at Upstate. Let me just say, I love a bar where there is seating. It wasn't too packed, and they actually have tables. And clean tables at that. The music was good and it wasn't too loud, which allowed me and my girlfriends to have a conversation. I don't care if any of what I just said shows my age. It is primarily a cocktail bar but I was in the mood for a beer, and they only have cans. Would be nice if they had a few on draft but again, I guess since people probably mainly go there for cocktails, there probably isn't much of a demand for it. I also saw they have a food menu, which looked pretty good. If we weren't grabbing food at Upstate, I might have ordered the fried chicken sammie or the burger, which were reasonably priced. I probably wouldn't trek all the way out here just to try the menu, but I am glad we stumbled upon Mister Paradise that night. read more

It's a really fun vibe in here and it's lively on the weekends with a mix of people sitting at the booths, at the bar, or standing. They play music but it's not too loud. If you are a party of 2 you may have to share your table/booth with another couple. The drinks are creative and good and the food is okay but nothing to write home about. It's nice that they have food though. Service is great. read more

Mister Paradise might just be the best bar in the Village. It's always buzzing with energy, offering great music and a wonderful staff. The seating is both comfy and stylish, making it a perfect spot to relax. Stop by during the day for their happy hour oysters, or come in the evening to dance and enjoy time with friends. read more

Definitely more of a bring-a-group place where you can sit down and have a couple drinks. Ambiance is good and music is good, not really a mingle bar. read more

I always have fun when I come here no matter who I'm with. Drinks are great and the bartenders are fun. The first time I came here I just walked in, not knowing the name. I went back into the pants packet the day after to find out the name haha read more

Came here for a private event but was able to enjoy a seat at the bar. The bar is soooo cute and the bartenders make AMAZING drinks. Can't wait to come back! read more

Place is in the thick of the bar scene in Lower east side. The cocktail had was interesting with cold brew in it. First couple sips i didn't like but got much better when some of the ice melted. Their tiny martini packs a punch for the size. Also had crab toast that I enjoyed. Loved the look of the place and service was great read more

This is one of my favorite bars in the City! Great music, attentive service, and nice crowd. Trendy but not pretentious. I highly recommend their espresso martinis. read more

Stumbled upon this after a recommendation from pouring ribbons, and will DEFINITELY be adding it to my list. Stopped by for a drink and ended up spending hours here, which is always how it goes. Service was outstanding and there was no room at the bar, so they sat us in the entry way. Perfectly fine, able to people watch, and then moved once bar stools opened up. Chatted with Jack, and will definitely be back to try more creations. Had the watermelon cocktail, and asked for extra spicy, was well made and well balanced with a decent amount of heat to it. Can't remember the drink after, and then moved onto a few bartenders choices. Had the truffle fries as a snack as well, and their dipping sauce was stellar. I love having really great cocktail bars make drinks not on menu, because they're always on point. Atmosphere was lively and a mixed bunch, and was definitely worth visiting. Will be back for sure! read more

This is a great spot to get cocktails and catchup with friends. The cocktails are great and they have my fav mezcal - Mezcal Union. I highly suggest checking this spot out. read more

This was a great bar and I'm glad I came - a really creative cocktail menu with a lot of original ideas and all of them had the ingredients shine through in a way that was inventive but familiar. At $15-16 per cocktail it's pricy but not unlike anywhere else in Manhattan and the drinks were better then mostly anywhere I've had so far. I can't even remember what I tried but my favorite was the Dara's Mom which was sweet, sour, tangy, etc. All of their drinks were boozy too which I appreciated. Nothing drives me crazier than when I pay for a $16 cocktail that's mostly juice. The place itself is cool and the service was fast for the most part except for, ironically, the end of the night at which point the check took awhile to come. With that said, they were able to split easily as it was all electronic so it was a fast system. All in all, would absolutely come back. Great cocktails at a great price. Highly underrated for the drinks in my opinion. read more

Haven't been to Mister Paradise since pre-pandemic and I'm glad it's still around. Super cute cocktail bar that's perfect for pre-dinner drinks or after-dinner partying. We stopped by for some cocktails before dinner and was able to sit by the open window which was nice for people watching. It gets pretty packed as the night goes on. Cocktails have fun names and are well made. read more

Amazing cocktails, really fun vibes, and one of the best bars for the holidays!! We were trying to find a bar that was not overtaken by Santa-conners so a bar tender at a another spot recommended mister paradise and I was very happy with the recommendation! The cocktails are really good and inventive! They played Christmas music and people were dancing around (it's hard to find a dancy bar in nyc, but I guess no one can stop themselves when Mariah Carey's "all I want for Christmas is you" plays! It's definitely pricy - but I'm line with other cocktail bars in nyc! read more

I was referred here by a different cocktail bar if you would believe it. I was once again trying to get into Death and Co only to encounter an exceptionally long wait. The doorman recommended this as a an option, and it was excellent! I ordered a Party Lobster (I think) and a CrossFit Breakfast. both of these were awesome! Very tasty, and of a good strength! Not to have you befriending the stop light; but neither had me asking "where's the booze?". Almost ordered a second CrossFit shot too, and I am generally not a lover of shots. Location has a classy, upscale vibe. I almost want to say it's West Coast-y but I could be tremendously wrong on this. Still classy! The service was very good too. It was fast and friendly! As I was walking in a cute dog walked by, and everyone leaned out to have a look. That is to say despite everything, there is still some homey-ness about the service. I will still try to get into Death and Co., but Mister Paradise has absolutely earned a return visit from me next time I'm in NYC. read more

You ever walk into a place and the PLACE is a VIBE?? THIS is one of those places! I mean in the city you encounter some pretty unfriendly characters but this was like the cool kids club. Super relaxed vibes indoor & outdoor seating with the loud background that is LES. Walking past I caught the vibe and was like let me sit. On a crowded Friday night at 8 they had 2 options one of which I chose was the bar. They use their space wisely and have this extremely friendly attitude welcoming you like yeah you came to the right place. I think the bartenders and waitress had in mechanic outfits which was cute. I have this new thing where I ask what's the house drink or what's the go to menu item and compare it to what I originally wanted. I went with the house fav Party Lobster a spicy Smokey watermelon tequila something. Man. I am trying to do my best with the verbiage here. Ummm lol I smacked my lips and enjoyed the perfect combination of flavors on ice while a friend got a house margarita in a freaking beautiful glass. They had frozen drinks and one was the Justin Bieber but bc my friend was a bartender and we were going to their bar next I opted out. EVERYONE was ordering it it was some coconut umami flavor a MUST try. The whole cocktail menu was cute and I think they had 5 options to eat. But from the street I knew I wanted the house burger. It's just something about a place that has a special burger that you know they put some TLC into it. The burger was only dressed in cheese and if I tell you it was so juicy nothing else was required. The martinelli bun was just how it should be. I also ordered fries which are only great and amazing while hot and fresh and come with their own zesty sauce. And then there were oysters. I should have led with this. They are perfectly priced n little cute and the f-ing minuet or however you spell that sauce- myyyy God. It has watermelon it was like vinegary and just the exact flavor that should pair with the perfect little oysters. I was mad I had to go. My visit was brief but effective I came I ate I drank and I wanted to order another spectacular drink so bad I will definitely return. GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, Cute, Quaint, Intimate and the staff is A++++++++++ 10/10 over here when we only voting for 5 lol. read more

The drinks were excellent. But I would probably never eat here again. It's mostly finger foods and whatever they attempt at a meal is underwhelming and not flavorful. Maybe it's because I came in on an empty stomach after downing a whole bucket of popcorn, but the burger was salt central. I was triggered badly and gulped 3 glasses of water after to counter my salt intake. Otherwise, beautiful bar and decent drinks also. read more

What a fun spot! While they don't take reservations, the waiters and hosts were so welcoming. I had the party lobster, which was a delicious spicy margarita-esque cocktail. My friends and I got the spicy chicken sandwich, meat and cheese board, and crab toast. The crab toast looked excellent, my friend said it was delicious. The manager even comped us some fries, which was so nice. Whoever he is, the waiter/manager with curly hair and a hat was so damn nice! read more

This bar is so cool. I loved the tropical mixed with art deco vibes. You could come here for a nice cocktail with an appetizer like we did or have a meal although the menu is small. The Crab Toast is on another level. It seems simple but the flavors just go so well together and it comes piled high with a ton of jumbo lump crab. You get a nice crusty piece of sourdough topped with creme fraiche and the crab, alongside a slice of lemon for a nice burst of acid that brings it all together. I also loved every cocktail we had. Mister Paradise is a win all around. read more
