    What a vibe! The inside transforms you to an intimate lounge, beautifully decorated. The drink list is fun and unique! Try them all!!

    Love it! Vibe, DJ, the balloons all have happening atmosphere! We had reservation, not easy to get in without one. Perfect for Saturday night after dinner when you don't want to call it a night! We only got shots and cocktails not sure how the food is but for sure not a eating vibe more like drink to die! Long line for bathroom though! Will go back for sure!

    Terrific service - our server last night was funny and engaging. He suggested I get the Tom Ford - which is now my favorite summer drink. Will definitely go back the next time I'm in NYC.

    A hidden gem! From the service, to the ambiance, to the drinks, everything was a 10/10 for me. I will daydream of this bar. Cheers.

    Had a really nice time here. Friend made a reservation and we were seated promptly. Enjoyed my drink and the complimentary popcorn. DJ was spinnin some good tunes! Would recommend!

    Not sure what all the fuss is about. Temple Bar is great. You come here for a sexy atmosphere and great cocktails and that's exactly what you get. And yes, make a reservation. Service is great, very attentive. Never an empty cocktail, water glass or empty bowl of free, delicious popcorn. Great touch by the way. Atmosphere is dark and sexy. Would recommend coming here with a small group of friends or on a date. As for attire, anything goes. Saw jeans, sweaters and sneakers as well as dresses, blazers and heels. Note: look for the address and a scorpion symbol and you'll be at the right place.

    I am still very conflicted about my experience here. The vibe is very sexy. I love the popcorn they bring you. The drinks are great, albeit expensive. I believe there is a dress code, but we went at 6 on a Thursday night so no one was really enforcing the dress code at that point. (We we're wearing casual/cute outfits and they didn't say anything to us.) The waitresses have a ~my shit doesn't stink~ aura. Which- maybe you like this aura. I particularly do not. It would be a good date place, but overall kind of meh.

    Nice bar, kind staff, and great drinks (even if expensive). (They seem to have a no shorts rule, at least sometimes, FYI)

    Very pretentious bouncer at the door. Apparently jeans are not allowed which was not clearly shown anywhere on the website.

    The host brought me to my party's table where there was a candle and some complimentary popcorn for us to share.

DI reserved an area between the bar and patio for the event. Enough room for our party to gather and not impede on other patrons. I found all of the staff to be very professional and attentive while very busy. The menu has a variety of small bite options, which was shared amongst the group. Everyone seemed to enjoy them, suggesting one another to try this or that. The bartenders/ mixologists were on their A game. The drink menu is pretty extensive and from what I could see, our party choices ranged from wines to whisky's and several options between. The rooftop/patio was an extension of the comfortable but trendy decor. Great space for an evening, date or friend gathering. Dear Irving... well done. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The bartenders were nice and made the drinks very quickly. There was one who was consistently friendly, as opposed to the blonde lady there. I'd go back again on a date night because the interior had major sexy vibes.

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

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.

The tea was strong and fragrant - it is on the sweeter side, a bit like dessert, so i had to pair it with water, but it was still yummy and would recommend yuzu contact - this was alright! 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

It's a very small space, so it may be a bit of a wait for a seat. We came around 8:45 PM, and got a spot at the bar after about 20 minutes. We tried the yuzu contact and the ma-chet baker, and the ma-chet baker was definitely our favorite. It tasted just like a matcha latte, and I liked the bits of gen maicha in it. It wasn't very strong however. The yuzu contact was also very light and citrusy.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!
