Didn't know it was a gay bar until I said, "Bottoms up" before drinking and three guys stood up. Nice and dark with speakeasy vibes and curated drinks (good cider!) and great service, but super tiny. Maybe four small tables and the bar seats about seven (or 14 if you stack). read more

A cozy spot with a cool vibe, I wanted to shout out the bartender Alex who was refreshingly pleasant to engage with. Service was friendly and welcoming, complementing the exceptional quality of the drinks. Definitely added to my local bar rotation. read more

Outstanding vibes - really wraps you up in a good mood, surrounds you with good folks, and slings tasty bevs. Met up with college friends on a snowy/sleeting February night and couldn't have been happier. read more

This is such a cute little bar! It has a quick turn over but it worked for us. My sis and I had just finished brunch on a saturday afternoon and we were looking for a spot to hang for a bit until our ride came. As we looked for a spot it started to rain. Thankfully this bar had just opened up and Colin welcomed us in! I didn't notice any food on the menu but it's possible I overlooked it since we just ate. But I did see different varieties of flavored peanuts on the side of the bar. Colin was welcoming to everyone who came in the door and that promoted a good vibe. we had drinks from the menu, tried the plum cider and then I asked for a drink they didnt have available but Colin tried to make a variation of it which I felt was pretty thoughtful of him. I definitely would return here again read more

Stickett Inn - Bar area - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The bar is SMALL. Not a bad thing-- just a nice preface. The staff on a Friday night was very nice and accommodating. There were two people working behind the bar and one immediately greeted us as we awkwardly stood behind patrons sitting at the packed bar. There were no seats but the bartender came right over to us with a menu and offered a small little corner for standing room or two tables outside for us. We opted to stay inside just in case someone got up. The drinks seem pretty thoughtfully crafted and I even saw they have thier own cider recipe they sell in cans. Pretty cool. I was impressed that a dark small bar had proper glassware. I got one of the more expensive drinks because it sounds really nice and it was. At that price point I guess I would expect a nice glass to sip it out of! Overall great experience and great crowd. I would return again. read more

I was on my way to Goodnight Sonny when I was literally pulled into this dark, moody little space by the server/bouncer?, Brandon. This spot specializes in hard ciders in various flavors (blueberry, blackberry, apple, dry cider, and more). They also have cocktails, mostly made with spirits from New York State, with various fruit accompaniments--peach, strawberry, cherry, orange, pineapple. They also have beer and wine. Prices range from around 6-18 dollars. The drinks weren't the best I've ever had, but the staff, including Brandon, were all nice and accommodating. When I first came, it wasn't very crowded, then it picked up. Tables turned quickly, however, and they have some outdoor tables as well. They worked really hard to make space for everyone and to make sure patrons were comfortable. I would try this spot again, to see what magic might ensue. read more

I had time to kill in Manhattan soon after my arrival and searched out gay bars nearby, which led me to this barely-marked gem. I got there right after opening and the one of the owners went out of his way to make sure I was cozy, oriented, and always had something to sip on! He was a wealth of information and the drinks were all delicious and refreshing on that sweltering summer day. I had so much fun that I brought my wife in after dinner so she could enjoy the ambiance and unique cocktails, too. It was busy by evening but the service was every bit as solid and the vibes were great. Can't wait to go back!! read more

A gf and I just had dinner and we're walking around the east village to look for a spot to have a drink. We're glad we stumbled upon this little bar as we had such pleasant service and conversation. Our bartender Eli, was delightfully friendly. He was kind enough to let us sample their regular cider and blueberry cider which he informed us is made upstate where a stickett inn is attached to the cider distillery. Fun fact! The ambience gave off old school bar inn vibes with tree design wallpaper or painting. We had great conversation with our bar neighbors as pictured and learned that we are connected in life through a past employer. What a small world. read more

Love this quaint speakeasy in the EV! Perfect spot for date night or to grab a drink with friends. Very few tables so be prepared to wait upon arrival.

Stickett Inn - Ukrainian martini - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Got here early around 5ish for drinks. We got seats at the bar. There was a gentleman serving drinks. There's a coat rack by the door entrance. We ordered Stickett Spriz and Punch Drunk cocktails which were very strong and tasty. Then we ordered Stickett Inn Cider and it was delicious too. The alcohol percentage is 6.9%. They have a bathroom in the back. The ambiance is cozy and nice. The eye sign in the front definitely captures your attention. read more

"Hidden Gem with an edge" Rather than a traditional, more formal and sometimes pretentious speakeasy, this establishment aims to be more true to the neighborhood. This places has a perfect dark bar vibe but with a lot more personality with an unusual drink menu and engaging decor. It's small and intimate, perfect for a date or when you want to tell tales to a confidant. What's to cheer - A cornucopia of cocktails to choose from, more skewing white liquors but very interesting combinations. I had a Bourbon drink with black cherry that was balanced and not sweet, which is hard to do with cherry as a base. - Cool decor. Nothing bland here. - Staff is friendly and authentic - Prices are fair - Good wine list What's to jeer - Would be nice to have more brown spirits drinks and Less vodka drinks read more

Love this small, cozy bar with a fun selection of ciders (and other beverages if ciders aren't your thing). I particularly enjoyed the pineapple cider. We are fond of the Stickett Inn in the Catskills so we were excited to learn that they had an East Village location. It's a super chill spot and we look forward to coming again. read more

The employees who were working when I went to Stikett Inn were kind, fun and friendly. This added to its incredibly cozy and welcoming atmosphere that had a variety of different drink options. If you enjoy cider, then this must be on your list of places to visit. Their blueberry lavender cider is unique and delicious. They also have an extensive list of different cocktails. read more

Stickett Inn - Blueberry lavender cider - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We were walking down here for all you can eat sushi and realized the place was too full and popped in here for a drink. It seemed unique and the eyeball outside caught our attention. It's definitely on the new side and the bouncer outside kind of ushered us in to check it out. It's a very tiny and cute cafe/kind of bar. Or an on the street speakeasy kind of bar but they seem to specialize in a variety of things with not just being cocktails but wine, ciders, and craft beer. They source a lot of their product from the catskills and up north because I guess they have an actual Stickett Inn in to stay at up north. They were so welcoming though I was genuinely surprised and don't receive this treatment often from bars. They offered us tasting pours immediately of both their plum rose and their dry cider. I went with the dry cider and he got a pilsner. I love how cozy the space is and the cider I got was super affordable on non-happy hour prices - like six bucks. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Stickett Inn - a glowing eye in the center of a circle - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The problem with giving this intimate gay bar five star review is that everybody will discover it and then it will be ruined but the night I went there weren't enough people in there have pity on the bartender go in there and buy drinks and tip him read more

The bartender was a great. The local beers solid. They'd run out of the cider, though. Next time!

An intimate little option in the East Village that feels like you're almost in a treehouse. The bar is low lit and it's cozy, with just a few seats at the bar paired with a few tables behind. The drinks are fun, unique, and taste great without running you back too much (about $15 for a cocktail, par for the course in the area) with cheaper beer + cider options. The way you find this unmarked gem? Look for the neon eye outside. read more

Stickett Inn - a glass of water and a bottle of gin - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Hannah, Austin and Brandon made my trip to NY. Great bar with great people. Will be back.

Great little bar in East Village. Interesting drinks and ciders from their upstate cidery. Great and friendly bartenders!

Had a Marvelous experience here. Very Nice esthetics and attention to detail. The drinks are great and nice touch with the flavored nuts. But what impressed me the most was the service. Brandon was not only friendly. He was attentive to everyone at the bar. On Poot with great drinks and even when it was a bottle busy, he manages to make every single person feel special. Give this man a raise.. seriously. Will be coming back for the drinks and mostly for the comfy atmosphere Brandon created. 5 stars in my book. read more

Love the bartenders here, always have a good time. Specialty cocktails are fun and delicious.

Great spot for adult Ciders, lounge-y atmosphere, with a friendly knowledgeable staff.

This is a hidden gem in East Village. They have dry cider and unique cocktails. Most cocktails on the menu are sweet, but you can ask the bartenders to make dry cocktails, and they do a wonderful job. Also, try their delicious peanuts. read more
