    I was actually eating ramen at Shinka only went downstairs to use the bathroom and there was a Christmas bar .i cant really describe it you just have to go see for yourself. i hate cocktails i'm a scotch drinker but i really loved how Christmas the bar was so i decided to try one. one turned into 8 i ended up trying everything on the menu except the last one i think they didn't have one of the ingredients or something. the desserts were nice but i like savory snacks when i'm drinking. however i must say its great for the cost. you cant get decent top quality desserts in chinatown its been monopolized by the chinese bakery. desserts are made to order fresh from the oven so it's a bit of the wait. my fav is the panna cotta it comes with homemade caramel popcorn wish they had bacon in it. i dont care for the cookies but they let you decorate your cookies so that was fun. i gave my ginger bread man extra body parts haha alcohol has that effect on you so here's my rank for the cocktails o they made chicharron as garnish for one of the cocktail is so good i told the bartender they should sell it as snacks. this is really a mixology bar so if you want to order gin n tonic or martini just to get shit faced this is not for you. o my rank : 1. the nutcracker (i'm bias this is # 1 because of the whiskey) 2. jingle beer nog (sounds gross i almost didnt want it but it's totally not what i imagined) 3. feliz navidad ( chicharron) 4. santa baby (fruity refreshing) 5.night mare before xmas 6.naughty milk 7.holly jolly again they're all good but for the most part it's just my preference towards the alcohol

    We got 5 Brooklyn east IPAs for $25 on super bowl Sunday ! The waitress was so sweet and the environment was lively but not rowdy

    Found this on a wim and saw the sign outside and gave it a try. Mr Wu's Basement is small but has loud speakers. Cool hidden basement bar in Chinatown. So hard to find low key hip hop spots but this is it!

    Good atmosphere. Its pretty chilled. The bar area is small but there is a lot of seating. The dress code is dressy casual.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

I mean, I've had bad pina coladas at dive bars, but I expected more from this place. I would say it was very strong, though, so you know what? That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else. Eat a pizza across the street.

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.

As soon as you open the door youre greeted with your party's name and brought to your seats. We opted to sit at the bar but there are tables to the left of the bar and a large sitting room to the left. The staff is very attentive and you will interact with them more than the bartender. We started off by ordering the Welcome Drink which is a bit if an aperitif and "gets your palette" so to speak. It was light, fruity, and a nice way to start the night. My first drink was the Adulting and they present it with a spritz if irange blossom. It is definitely a sipping drink due to the 14yr Balvenie. My second drink, Omija, was a lighter drink comparatively. The clarified yogurt gave it a bit of sweetness most Yakult drinkers are familiar with. My partner had both the 5th Ave and Iced Latte. Fair warning on the latte as the oat milk topping has a bit of a jelly consistency. It wasnt unpleasant but was a bit if a surprise when we went for an initial sip. Overall the Upstairs gives a very pampered and sophisticated feel that coordinates with the dining downstairs.

They have an amazing selection of mixed drinks and other types of alcohol. We got a cheese martini, a mezcal drink and a non alcoholic citrusy drink that tasted awesome! The drinks are priced at a premium (~$25 each) but the favors are worth it! Give it a try!

There are three different themes of decor as you walk through, and the staff said it was themed after Midnight in Paris. Very comfortable and easy to have a conversation. We each ordered one drink: Zero Proof(n/a)- full sun Latin Matrix A glass of red wine (unfortunately I didn't note which she ordered.) The staff overheard we were celebrating a birthday and offered us each a complimentary drink after we had already closed out so that we could do a birthday cheers (since one person doesn't drink, one of the complimentary sparkling drinks was also non-alcoholic).

Since it was right next to where I was leaving my friends, I decided to see if I could get a seat at the bar without a reservation. I checked in with the host and she said they had room. So no rezzie needed that night when solo. The bar area is very dark and intimate. I only had time for one drink and decided on the one above. It was nicely balanced. I'm a whisky girl, especially rye, so I enjoyed sipping on this. A nice stop on the way to diner. I was here years ago, but that experience is a little hazy. Glad I was able to revisit. REVIEW #4002
