Came here on a Thursday night and it was pretty empty which I don't mind at all. Ordered drinks and it was served right away, they were tasty and strong (on the average price range for drinks ~$15-$16 each). They do have events here so i was just here during a slow day I guess. It's a downstairs bar but they have plenty of seating. The vibes are what you would expect at a normal pub/bar. read more

This was a place that my friend and I happened to randomly stumble upon and we're glad we did. The bar itself is MASSIVE. Lots of standing room with some seating. There is a decent selection of cocktails (I recommend the Take it Ease) and a lot of other beers and non alcoholic options. The music they play is so fun and the vibe itself is great. It was giving industrial x indie if that's even a thing? Anyways, our server was super friendly and even gave us a free pretzel since the kitchen made too many. Would absolutely come back. read more

The Tippler - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Hosted a work event at the Tippler and Nick was incredibly attentive with our large party. It wasn't too busy on a Wednesday evening. We could hear everyone at the table. Our appetizers included a few rounds of chips & salsa as well as tiny chicken strips, onion rings, pizza bites and spinach/cheese philo pastries. I highly recommend the frozen margaritas (I had a mango lime) and the hype man which is a matcha, tequila, peach and apricot cocktail. read more

The Tippler - hype man (matcha, tequila, peach & apricot) - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

There's been a few times I've been around Chelsea Market, wanting to kill time and drinking seems to be the best way to do that. The Tippler is a great spot. It's underground and really spacious inside. You could easily come with a group of people and feel comfortable (most bars in NYC are tiny). I had two green with envy cocktails and they were delicious and balanced with surprisingly high ABV. A great space in Chelsea! read more

Cool drink spot under Chelsea Market - arched ceilings, exposed brick walls, dim lighting, cool crowd, and nice ambiance. The cocktails were good and the staff was friendly. They have couple of option for small plates but allow outside food. I went on a Wednesday night with group of friends and got seated right away. We ordered 2 rounds of cocktails - some cocktails were pretty potent but we'll balanced. Definitely recommend this place for date nights and hangout with friends. read more

The Tippler - Hype Man cocktail - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Yes. It's big. The cocktails are good. It's close to food if you either eat before or finish your drinks early. You feel me?

The Tippler is located at the Chelsea Market but is not accessible via the inside. To get here, go near Los Tacos No. 1 and find the "open" sign. Then go downstairs and you'll see it. On the inside is a cool vibe with lots of brick everywhere as it's located in a cellar. My first drink was the crown juul ($16) which was an old fashioned with a sweet vanilla flavor. My second drink was the golden hour ($16) and they were right in that they are crushable. I literally finished the drink in 5 minutes and then proceeded to order another. It was delicious and if you only get one drink here, make sure it's the golden hour. I enjoyed the dimly lit speakeasy vibe. It was chill which was a stark contrast with the busy NYC streets just outside. Two words to remember: golden hour. read more

I came here for drinks before a show at Little Island. It's technically located inside Chelsea Market, but they have a street entrance on 15th street for easy access. The bar is below ground and has brick walls and a dark, low key vibe. You kind of feel like you're in a cozy cave. The day we came, they had a special on shots with Jäegermeister and cranberry juice. These were super sweet and kind of tasted like cough syrup. They were quite strong though, which isn't always the case with mixed shots. I also tried the Green With Envy cocktail. It's described as a "healthy Moscow Mule" and this was fairly accurate. The green juice came through in full force and it was very vegetal. This might be a nice alternative to a Bloody Mary and could be a good brunch cocktail, but it wasn't my favorite for an evening drink. My sister got the It Was All a Dream cocktail. It was a little too sweet and the passionfruit in it didn't really come through. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Definitely a recommended spot for groups or date night. read more

Really cute bar in a cellar near Chelsea Market!! Max capacity inside is still currently limited, so unfortunately you most likely will have to wait in a line outside. Once inside, there is lots of standing room at the bar, and several tables scattered throughout (you can order from either). Did not try any of the food, menu was quite limited, but the cocktails were delicious and were reasonably priced (for NY). "The Vibe" was their take on a margarita (my favorite), which contained two types of tequila, falernum (syrup), agave and lime- was not too sweet or too bitter. Would return here for drinks 100%! read more

The Tippler - a bar with a red carpet - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Fun and casual bar right next to Chelsea market. Been here a couple of times on week night to grab a drink before getting some food at the market. The cocktails are pretty good and averagely priced; has a very limited wine menu (not sure why they call themselves a wine bar). The music is loud!! So if you are hoping to have a convo, good luck. I'd probably avoid this for dates...but okay to hang with friends. read more

The drinks were quite mid but it wasn't bad for stumbling upon this place on a random Wednesday evening. The pretzel was actually quite good haha and we also ordered some chips which were quite stale. read more

Cool spot with great cocktails that wasn't too busy at all on a weekend night. I never would have known this was here, or expected there to be this cool of a bar in this spot. Not sure about people saying that it's hard crowded or hard to get into - that wasn't my experience at all. If anything it was almost a bit too empty making it not lively enough... read more

Highly recommend the cocktail called It Was All A Dream, which completely blew me away with its depth. I hadn't been wowed by a cocktail in quite a while, but this one succeeded. The Call Me Captain was also delicious. Chill vibes - didn't feel clubby, so was a bit surprised to find a bouncer guarding the stairs to the basement where the bar is located. And yes, definitely not a friendly one. But our waitress was friendly and served our promptly. I appreciated that the layout was spacious, but the seating was rather limited. I can see it being good for big groups and standing convos. read more

Very cool little speakeasy bar, loved the vibe and the drink options. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the waitress brought our friend a special shot for her bachelorette party. Probably one of my favorite bars we visited! Would absolutely return :) read more

I came on a Saturday at 8PM. It wasn't too busy yet and friends were able to snag a table. The cocktails taste good and are decently strong. Decor is nice. I wish they had more food and snacks but they only offer pretzels and chips with salsa. The food menu led to another restaurant and I'm not sure how that delivery/pickup would work. The food by Chelsea market isn't open late. I tried "it was all a dream" on the regular cocktail menu and also the special cocktail of the day. Friends like this place. You can grab glasses of water yourself. As it got later, it got pretty loud. read more

The Tippler feels like a speakeasy that college students opened. It has the brick-walled, subterranean isolation of a speakeasy, but with much cheaper drinks and younger clientele. The best of both worlds! We loved everything we tried, but the standouts were Green with Envy, It Was All a Dream, Hush Money, and The Crown Jewel. Service was fantastic, and the spacious seating (another upgrade from a typical speakeasy) made it easy to socially distance people-watch. I saw a few awkward first dates that reminded me all too well of my own college-age awkward first dates. "So...you like....stuff?" That kind of thing. read more

Very stiff drinks, pleasantly surprised for a bar located in Chelsea market. Went on a Saturday night and it wasn't too crowded, not a bumping elbows-worried you're going to be stepped on kind of bar. Pretty chill all in all read more

Best speakeasy under Chelsea market, we went Friday before dinner for a quick drink and it was nice and empty. We got a table easily to grab some cocktails. Highly recommend their espresso martini! read more

The Tippler - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This place can be a little tricky to find as it's outside the Chelsea Market but you actually have to go down a flight of stairs on the side to get there. The place wasn't too crowded though we had to stand for a bit before we got some seating. That being said it was very spacious, though that could just be because we were there on a weekday. Drinks were decent but nothing too special, given the city has so many great bars with amazing options. read more

Fun great underground bar around Chelsea. I came here on a Saturday night and you basically order your own drinks at the bar and sit where you like. The cocktails were yummy a bit pricey for $15 but they are unique. Also being that you're in that area of Manhattan prices are about right. The bar is was very busy but we did found a table for seven as soon as we walked in. The bar was playing okay music but we were having a great time laughing relaxing and chilling. The bar closes at 3am so if you want some late night drinks this is a pretty cool spot. For drinks I had some pickle shots which were pretty good, "my gf lives in queens was pretty good as well and spicy and westboy cowboy something was very yummy. If I'm in the area I would come back again I wouldn't recommend for food but yes for drinks. Also they have a photo booth next to the bathrooms. read more

There was a short wait to get in last Saturday but I'm very glad we decided to wait it out because what a great bar this is! The bar is quite roomy, good for a larger group if you have one. We were a group of 6 and were able to secure a table after hanging out for a bit. The drinks were good but my favorite part is definitely the atmosphere. It's sexy but approachable. Think-exposed brick and low light vibes. This felt like a late 20's-early 30's spot which is right up my alley. I will absolutely be returning. 5/5 read more

This was a speakeasy tour with Brett, he guided us through the Chelsea Market. My first time here. I was pretty amazed how big this actually was. A few turns here and there with a couple of stairs, hallways and voilà. We are in an unground cellar space. The walls and artifacts are historic. It's pretty roomy and I love the rustic decor. ..Lights dimmed, plenty of seats. We made it to the bar looked over their classic cocktails list. Ordered Monkey business and Pineapple Express. I watched as she made them, loved the basket with oranges, lemon, limes, and a peeler for rimming drinks and cutting slices. Bar was fully stocked with only the finest of it all. The music played at a distance to soothe and relax from the business above. I loved it. Great experience!! Love finding treasures and this was truly one of them. read more

Hidden deep under Chelsea Market with only an "Open" sign out front to identify it, you really have to know where your going, or you have to be dumb adventurous; I am very much the latter. My friends and I were looking for a place to start our night. We were just walking around the Greenwich Village and saw a bright "open" sign out front of the building. I figured it was maybe a bar. We walked up and in the building to where there was a bouncer. He I.D us and told us to have fun. We still had no idea what we were getting into. We walked down the old rickety stairs and past some old television sets. At some point we started questioning, are we even going the right way. We kept going down the stairs and finally found it. It was rustic and lavishly decorated with hip stuff such as old suitcases and books. The lights were very dim, setting a listing 20's era tone. The bartenders all dressed the part. The drinks were tasty, however, there is a huge mark up for this hidden gem of a place. 3 double shot whiskeys and a beer were $80. The service was okay. Overall; you pay extra because of the setting for sure. A neat place nonetheless read more

I stopped by here for a drink on Friday around 6pm and it was empty. The place was huge with plenty of standing room and tables for small or large parties. The whole place smelled like a public bathroom... Cocktails were $15 which was reasonable compared to other bars in the area. They also have a limited food menu. We tried the GREEN WITH ENVY and THANK U, NEXT cocktail. Both really bad and poorly crafted. My banana daiquiri was extremely sour and the moscow mule had too much ginger. Service was completely lacking. I wouldn't recommend this bar for cocktails. Maybe for a quick beer just to hang out. But honestly I have no interest in returning. read more

Awesome decor, but somewhat boring. There didn't seem to be much going on. Service was fairly quick, and staff was nice and friendly.

Great cocktail place for a date or quick drink before dinner. We came here a few years ago and then recently went back to get some cocktails before a friends birthday dinner nearby. The bartenders here know what they're doing and make fantastic drinks. You can order one of their signature cocktails or ask the bartender to make something for you. Seating can be tough for large groups -- probably best to come here in a smaller group or as a couple. There aren't really any food options, a pretzel or chips, but you can order food from Chelsea market next door and bring it in. Definitely recommend for drinks and will be back. read more

I WANTED to like this place! It had 4 stars on Yelp! It has a cute vibe! However, the food was average and the service was meh! I ordered a drink that tasted wayyyy too much like cotton candy menthol! I appreciated that the waitress took that drink off of our tab, but it doesn't explain why we were there for an hour and only was voluntarily visited twice (once to take our order and once to drop them off) by the waitress! I ordered the grilled cheese and yikes! There was barely any cheese! I can't believe how much I paid for slightly cheesy bread. We ordered the Cheddar Scallion dip, and it was smaller than bite-sized! I was flummoxed by how tiny that dish was. This place HAS potential, and there's a part of me that wonders if maybe I don't "get it," because this place does have a 4-4.5 Yelp rating... However everything isn't meant to appeal to everyone. And this place has minimal appeal to me. read more

Loved the vibes of this place. The seating was nicely spaced out, chill music, attentive staff. Only swung by to grab one drink before heading to a dinner reservation - ordered the Green With Envy. I'm a huge fan of Moscow mules, so it was the obvious choice of cocktail . My friend ordered Call Me Captain, and that also was a super tasty drink. Would absolutely love to go back and relax/grab a few more drinks next time! Was one of my favorite spots for drinks in NYC during my week long stay! read more

The Tippler - Bar area - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Young (way younger than me) and hipster (way hipsterier than me) crowd located in an spacious underground bar. There is a long bar with lots of bartenders so you are not constantly trying to wait to get in your order. Inner area is standing room only with ledges to put your drink and chill with a couple tables around the outside. The noise level is not too bad for being in essentially a very cool cave. read more

My sister and I recently visited here. We almost walked right past it. When you walk in, there is a hallway, and you have to take the stairs downstairs. We each got two drinks which were delicious although I think it could have been presented better. It was clean but I do not think this is some place I would go back to. read more

Came here late on a Friday night with two friends and absolutely loved the vibes!! It's a quiet and dark bar in the basement by Chelsea Market - the crowd was super cool, just a bunch of groups looking to sit at tables/by the bar and talk - perfect for a night when you just want to grab drinks with friends and chat, rather than have a crazy night filled with loud music and dancing. Don't get me wrong, both are fun - but if you're looking for a bar that's open late and doesn't get too rowdy, this is the place to go! The drinks, at $16-25+ were on the expensive side, but if this is a second or third stop in your night, hopefully doesn't break your bank account too much.. Plus, it's a really cool vibe - almost feels like you're inside of a wine cellar of sorts.. I have a feeling I'll be back - and this may become one of my "go-to" spots in the city read more

A chill no frills bar in the Meatpacking. A little hard to find but once you locate the building number and go down the set of stairs you're in for a treat. The first thing I noticed was how spacious it was, the cool dimmed lighting, and the fact that there was a lot of seating. The space was nicely decorated too, very rustic and a lot of Christmas spirit. The bar itself was big but we initially noted there was only one bartender working. Took us a while to put in an order and once we finished we were told the credit card machine wasn't working hence the decreased star. I felt bad for the bartender because he looked a little stressed. Putting that aside, our drinks were great. I had a delicious moscow mule as did some of my other coworkers and we all loved them. My boss had this spiked hot cider which she was obsessing over so it must have been really good too. I'd def. come back again next time I'm in the area. The ambiance wasn't bad at all for a Monday - a good amount of people and a nice playlist. I would love to see how it gets during the weekends! read more

I feel like I owe this place a review. Been here a few times and each time had a different experience. Neve great, but never awful. The basement location and bathrooms remind me of being in middle school, for some reason. The drinks are good but expensive. I like the cucumber drinks bc I like cucumber everything. I don't have any cell service here which I'm counting as a positive. But if you want to call an Uber or meet up with friends, you have to keep running upstairs which is annoying. This place is too quiet, yes TOO quiet. I need something a little more lively. Maybe you'll find it romantic! read more

The owner was not professional with our group. We all had valid ID's and we followed the rules provided. Our Dj we all came to support (Mattthaoutlaw on IG ), He barely got to perform and he was on time and respectful. we all felt mistread... then they kicked up out in the pouring rain... Not cool. read more

It's a big brick room you go down some steps to get to. It's trying for the Speakeasy vibe (like Raines Law Room), but not trying too hard or hard enough. There is a token effort at ambiance, but I didn't feel it. Drinks are NYC expensive, which is expected, but not a big selection of specialty drinks on the menu (maybe 8 or 10). It's like a few of people got together and in a moment of inspiration decided to create a cool bar, in a secret location, with a 1920s speakeasy theme, with handcrafted cocktails...and then all smoked a doober, ran out of energy and created the Tippler and ordered a pizza. read more

Cute and quaint bar under Chelsea Market. Very spacious and a wide variety of specialty cocktails. They also have a few snacks. The pretzels are worth having with your drink. It's a little dark in some corners but that just makes it cozy. Service was also great as well. read more
