I absolutely loved their back patio. It was such a good vibe. I came unexpectedly with a large group and although I could tell they were caught off guard, they did their best to accommodate us. They were very kind and helpful. The drinks were so fun and very delicious too. Especially their Espresso martini made with cognac I believe. Will be back the next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Summer Nights! Give me good food, strong drinks, outside vibes and chill decor. That's what brought me to The Honey Well. I've had them bookmarked for YEARS.... I finally made my way over. Upon arrival we were given the option to sit inside or outdoor. Clearly I went with outdoor via their backyard. The setup is so cozy and perfect for a chill date night. The cocktail menu consisted of classics and in house specials. The bartender is truly talented. I basically told her what I like and she made me a concoction that didn't disappoint. We also had shrimp and feta which was tasty as well. The Honey Well was worth the wait and I'll definitely be back. read more

Made a spontaneous visit to the city and one of my friends recommended this place. Super cute and cozy, intimate setting, pop music with an indie feel. There were plenty of drink options. I ordered the Daiquiri which was pretty strong and good! Service was great, staff super friendly and accommodating to my party of 10. read more

I am a huge fan of this place. I've been here a handful of times and always get something new. Each cocktail is so brilliantly crafted, food is amazing, I love a place that has food offered late. You can tell everyone on staff enjoys being there, and cares about the customer's experience. Great vibe, great music playing at all times but you're still able to chill and have a conversation!! read more

This is what I expect to see when I walk into a 70's themed bar. The conversation pit style bar was so amazing and I absolutely loved the old school decor. Don't even get me started on the drinks, everything was well made, I absolutely loved the Black Magic and the Toque, such gorgeous drinks that tasted even better. The real star of the show here is the food, we ordered a bunch of different dishes to sample and everything was super well thought out and delicious. I really enjoyed the Whipped Feta with the warm pretzel bites and the Blackened Shrimp, another honorable mention to the Chicky Thicky chicken skewers and the Lump Crab tostadas. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be coming back for the food, drinks and the vibes. Server was decent, nothing out of the ordinary but she was helpful when we asked questions. I absolutely loved it here! Highly recommend for some groovy downtown vibes, uptown ;) read more

What an experience this was, so unexpected and so memorable. While we did have a good time and really enjoyed the feel of this place our bill left a bitter taste. I realized the following day that things didn't add up. My fault for not requesting a copy of my receipt. I still want to go back but this time I'll keep an eye and count our drinks. read more

I just wish the bartender was more welcoming, he doesn't even say hi or anything, he just wants the order. I understand is happy hour and is literally two people at the bar and he is not present at all: he is focusing at the drinks from the other side. I had to ask for another drink he didn't even ask if I want it I another one. Anyhow, I just thought I give a chance to this place I guess I rather go to Harlem Public. A little less upscale but definitely better service than this. read more

I finally came here after wanting to check it out for years. I wasn't disappointed. Laurita was our server and she was so nice! My friend and I each had a drink and split the deviled eggs, queso dip and vegan sliders. Food was on point! Drinks were good - I had the tropic thunder and my friend had the Monk Fashioned. They have happy hour every day 4pm-6pm with $11 classic cocktails too. There's several drinks here I'd like to come back and try. The decor is so pretty and 70s vibe. This place was chill and not pretentious. It's a cool neighborhood spot. We had a reservation just in case but it wasn't busy at 4:30pm on a Sunday. I imagine Fridays and Saturdays this place gets packed. Looking forward to coming back! Not accessible from what I can see (staircase needed as the bar is on the lower level of the building). read more

After years of saying I need to check out The Honeywell, I finally made it and it did not disappoint. I only had one drink, the Disco Inferno, but that was enough to prove they take presentation seriously. The kind of cocktail that makes you stop & watch. The decor? Immaculate. The atmosphere? Smooth, moody, and effortlessly cool. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile, and next time, I definitely will. One hundred percent coming back for the full experience. read more

The sunken bar got me at first sight! Very dim lit and intimate with just enough space.. Loved the ambiance, music selection was on point. Decor is popping! It just felt really cozy and regal. Small bites and strong drinks! My bartender definitely hooked up the concoctions, the creativity is refreshing! Service was pretty good. It's become one of my best spots for cocktails! I would definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely love this spot... great food... excellent vibe... we cannot wait to go back! .

Absolutely LOVED my experience here!! We stumbled into this place instead of going next door, and have no regrets. The interior like other reviews mention is like a 70s retro vibe, but if you walk through to the back it opens up to a really cute, bright patio. A great place for both drinks and food - I got a daquiri which came strong and really limey ($11 happy hour!), and got a whipped feta pretzel. That whipped feta dip was probably the best dip I've ever had! The pretzel was warm, soft, chewy and a little dense but paired perfectly with the cheese. Our waiter was so so nice and attentive. Would 100% come back! read more

If you are looking for an intimate/lowkey bar with crafted cocktails and small dishes, this is the spot. Not only is their selection of cocktails, wines, beer, extensive... the drinks were spot on! I had their Dat Joint Thicc and it was sooo good! My sister got a hot toddy and she enjoyed hers as well. For bites, we got their Burrata Tostado's and their garlic shrimp. Omg both dishes were cooked and plated to perfection. Service was good. Die to it being a small location, I would highly recommend making reservations! read more

Drinks are strong and apps are Firee ‍ Small space overall it's a straight walk once you're inside, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if you like intimacy in this big city . The Honeywell was introduced to me by a few coworkers & it's a secret jewel for escaping the rapid hustle of the big city. If you go definitely order the bruschetta and crab toast read more

This bar has really fun 1970s vibes and a great happy hour. I do miss some of the cocktails that used to be on the menu and some of the more throwback 70s food options like the Chex Mix when they first opened but it's still worth checking out. read more

Great drinks and vibe after work. Open late on weeekends and the vibe is always good at the Bar.

Drinks only review. We stopped by on a Saturday night and were seated right away at the bar. The menu is pretty extensive but the really nice bartender was very helpful. Since the Smokey Bear drink was no longer on the menu, he offered to make the Toque in the bear glass for me. There are other interesting bee themed glassware too. The drink was delicious and was slightly tart than sweet. The bar seats are so comfy compared to most bars. The back also has seating for food orders. What a great find! read more

The Honey Well - Toque in a bear glass - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This is not speakeasy but a cool retro 70's bar complete with sunken seating. There are tables further in and high tops near the bar area and a garden seating area in the back. By the bar, there is a sign with Billy Dee Williams and Colt 45 and a retro TV playing retro shows. In another area, a poster of Tom Selleck looks at you. Happy Hour is from 4pm to 6pm for classic drinks and offers 1$ deviled eggs. For drinks, your experience varies with the bartender. I've come here off and on for years. I went years back when Marcio and Topher were there, and they were always on point. Now, sometimes, depending on how busy and the bartender, the honeywell doesn't have their secret drinks. I love the monk fashioned and disco inferno for the show. My other preferred drink is an old fashioned paying extra for a cherry instead of the orange peel. For food, I love their sweet and salty grilly, the fondue Mac and cheese and their deviled egg on the non happy hour menu since it adds prosciutto. read more

THE HONEY WELL October 29th, 2021 What a chill vibe! Follow the groovy arrow that time warps you back in time. Your first look at the waved glass block entrance clearly indicates that you just left modern day Harlem '21 to a speakeasy-type bar in Harlem '65. The Honey Well, with its nifty retro aesthetics, consists of a long narrow bar area with booths and tables towards the back, plus outdoor backyard seating in the Honey Garden. Our reservations for a party of 8 had us seated in the back room booth area. Intimate, warm lighting with Smooth R&B, Smooth Jazz, Funk plus Alternative tunes piped in pleasingly, to give you those relaxed mellow feels. We ordered almost everything off the small bites menu. My favorites were the Crab Cakes and the Whipped Feta drizzled with Honey, served with soft pretzels. This visit took place just over a year ago and I can still remember the flavors. I love a spot with a great vibe...warm and glowy with smooth tunes accompanied by great folks and decent service. Would definitely come back if the opportunity arose. read more

This place is an amazing local staple of Uptown. The vibe is always pure and authentically cultured. They have a Soul Glow ad on the walls inside, which should tell you what era you step in once you visit. I went on my own and had a 50/50 Bols Genever Gin Martini with "a little dirt", and my bartender Mark did a great job executing my cocktail. I've been there in the past and have had the Monk Old Fashioned, curated by the talented Chuy Gallardo, which comes served in a smoker. Started with the Deviled Eggs, which come in a set of three. Ate the Strawberry Salad (comes with julienned prosciutto) and added the Skewered Chicken Thighs to my salad. Everything was well portioned and well seasoned. Ended with an Oreo White Russian Crème Brûlée which was almost like flan however not so sweet or dense. A mint leaf atop adds a refreshing bite to the delicacy. Music is always 70's/80's soul and funk, also might be a weekday Happy Hour. Also! Note that the entrance is DOWNSTAIRS. Think Pink Elephant or Louie & Chan. Dope spot. read more

The Honey Well is one of those places everyone should try once in their lifetime. Is that a bit of hyperbole? I think not because its name alone should fill you with curiosity. Let me be the first to say the Honey Well is all that and then some. The locals know a good thing, and now you do as well. If you go, and I hope you do, please take some time to take in the charm of the joint. I use the word "joint" because it gives off the sophistication of a speakeasy and smoke-filled room of deep south:AKA juke joint. The kind of place where you can sit at the bar alone and be swept up in the music, eye candy, inventive drinks, and delicious bites. As I said, the locals know what's good in the neighborhood, and now so do too. Do yourself a favor and have a drink and sway to the beauty that is The Honey Well. read more

Uptown has never been sexier! read more

I loved the ambiance of the place when I arrived. It was dim and intimate but fun and funky. There were bead curtains that gave you a sense of privacy at your table. The outside was a little run down and there were bugs but still able to occupy if that doesn't bother you. The menu is not typical. So you have to be willing to give the food and the drinks a try. The things that my friends and myself ordered were okay except, *** We All Agreed That was the most disgusting, watery yet grainy Mac n cheese we've ever had in our lives*** Would I return? Ehhhh some things are good for a one time experience. read more

A thousand stars. This place is gorgeous. It gives off a speakeasy feel and the seating arrangements are so cool. Ample bar seating with tables in the back as well. It's a dim lit place so it's very romantic and intimate. The place is underground so don't miss it! The food was delicious. Everything was so good. They serve small bites like tacos and shrimp rolls (they're so delicious and juicy, kinda like mini lobster rolls). The chicken skewers were so yummy. Everything was perfect enough to share. Now on to the drinks... these were the legit stars of the show. Every single drink is presented so creatively. I got my "Green Go" cocktail in a fucking TOILET CUP!!!! What the fuck!!! That's so cool. My friends got hers in a bathtub cup like if that's not enough to tell y'all this place is popping, I don't know what to tell you. The drinks are pricey, $16 each, but very worth it. Our 3 plates and 2 drinks were $67 and that's actually pretty good for a place in the city. The service was also great. Right when we walked in, we were greeted with the biggest smile from our host. I love that. Our bartender got us our food and drinks very quick, although he was a little less attentive but that's because he was running all over the place. Nonetheless, great service and food. A literal gem in Harlem. Definitely going back. read more
