    Drinks were good and service was fine. There's no cellular service at Undercote. Our drinks and one appetizer came out to about the same as our dinner and drinks at Cote afterwards. It's a good spot to spend time at before dinner at Cote because there's not much else in the area.

    Stopped by Undercote while waiting for our table at Cote, and it ended up being such a great part of the experience. The space is sleek, modern, and very clean. Dimly lit in the best way, with a stunning living tree wall that gives it a cool, upscale vibe. We ordered the chicken nuggets, which were delicious and hit the spot. I had the Illusions cocktail, and it was excellent! Beautifully presented and just as good as it looked. Undercote was the perfect place to relax and unwind before heading upstairs. Stylish, comfortable, and a great spot for drinks and small bites. Would absolutely come back. Enjoy

    A moody and vibey speakeasy bar underneath Cote. The decor was unique and I almost felt like I was in a greenhouse in the back room area. Drinks were unique with an Asian twist and their mocktails were also good as well!

    Love the logo glassware

    We try to go to the restaurant upstarts but we had to be on the waitlist and hopefully get in ( we didn't) so we went to the bar sort of like speakeasy downstairs. It's so dark so I definitely don't recommend it for a first date. service is great. The bar is cute and the lounge area sitting is very comfortable. We had 2 glass of Sincere . It was almost 40 bucks. I guess it's New York prices. I love the glassware with the restaurant logo.

    i forgot what i ordered but the presentation was nice & it tasted good but nothing crazy. the vibe is rlly dark and unique tbh. expensive but what can you expect. the service was good.

    Steak and egg

    We came to the speakeasy for the cocktails. The 'steak and egg' was a bit disappointing. It was too salty. The caviar is already salty, normally you'd factor that in and add something on the sweet/tart side. Unfortunately the beef tartare is overly seasoned. Drink was nice.

    Undercote is a cocktail bar located beneath Michelin-star Korean barbecue restaurant, Cote. The bar's all-black furniture, walls covered in plants and tree roots really make you feel like you're inside of a jungle terrarium. I ordered the Illusions (6/10): This is a gin-based cocktail with cocchi rosa (aromatized wine), apple, lemon, and butterfly pea. I thought this was average. On the sweeter side of their cocktail selection. The butterfly pea is cool because it changes colors from the acid in the lemon interacting with the butterfly pea powder. Not a bad experience but I wouldn't come back.

    Overall rating: 4.7 Price: $61 for 2x cocktails After Cote, my friends and I went to Undercote for a night cap. The first drink was off the menu and was fun. But the second drink I tried to do the name what you're feeling drink and I didn't like it. But rather than speaking up, I drank it and that's my regret. The place is super dark and up my speed. I loved all the plants everywhere. I also liked that the spot is walk-in only (I think) and you need a place to sit (vs standing). Also sharing cute drinks my friends ordered that were way more delicious. Highly recommend!

    Really beautiful bar and good service. Martini was made expertly. They don't take reservations

    We were looking for a spot to grab some drinks and small bites after doing a dessert tasting menu at Lysee. My cousin suggested we come here as she's been meaning to try the cocktails at Undercote. And she really enjoyed her meal at Cote. We walked over on a rainy evening (Saturday around 7 pm) and made our way through Cote and down the stairs. It was dark and had great mood lighting. We put our name down with the hostess and decided to go to the bathroom before we went back upstairs. By the time I came out of the bathroom (super nice bathroom btw with great thick towels), my cousin told me they texted her to let her know they were ready for us! The hostess showed us to our table with low seating. It was definitely the place to be. I loved the jungle decor. They brought is water and menus. We decided on the 8 oz American wagyu, the Korean bacon, and the sweet & tangy chicken nuggets. My husband also got the Monte Carlo, while my cousin and I both opted for the Space Heavy cocktail. Our drinks came out first and were beautiful. Their ice is impressive. The drink was exactly as described in the menu, crisp and refreshing. I appreciate a cocktail menu that does descriptions of their drink so you can have a better idea of what you'll like! The food came pretty quickly and we were amazed. Even though it's labeled Small Bites, they were fairly large portions, which who doesn't love? And the food was AMAZING. The waiter brought out another table to ensure we had enough space for everything. The steak was by far the best bite of our whole weekend trip. It was cooked so perfectly, and you could taste how great of quality it was. It came with some delicious dipping sauce, but I didn't bother using it - it was so good on its own. My husband, cousin, and I were ridiculously happy. The porkbelly was also delicious. We enjoyed the sweet & tangy chicken nuggets. It did have a kick to it! It also came with a kim chi scallion salad type thing. I was so full, but I took a few small bites and they were so good. I think one of the biggest things was how well they treated us. We had been rained on, we were in leggins/sweats. My husband and I had on tennis shoes, and my cousin might have had on a Costco sweater. Even from the beginning, they were very kind and treated us like everyone else there! Who was much more dressed up then us. Even though we were feeling under dressed, they were the nicest. My fork fell off the table at one point, and I didn't notice. The waiter swooped in quickly and got me a new fork. My husband and I are determined to try Cote next time with my cousin when we're in NYC!

    Cool speakeasy under cote. The cocktails were all pretty good and they had a great ambiance with some plant walls.

    Rina D.

    Vibes are definitely nice, but the drinks are pretty pricey and the bill could really go up after a drink or two.. However, some of the cocktails had really big ice inside so what you really get isn't much. Good date spot as it give a bit of an intimate vibe though!

    My friend and I were able to snag the last seats in Undercote before our dinner reservation. We had time for one drink and man, did I enjoy every moment in this gem and every sip of my cocktail. A super cool vibe - as you can see from the pictures - and great service. Since we were limited on time, they made moves to get us our drinks quickly so we could at least hang for a few minutes before having to head to dinner. Photos don't even do it justice - this place is *cool* and you will be glad you stopped in. Cheers!

Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!
