    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!

    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

    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.

    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

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

    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!

    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!

    Had no idea about undercote when looking for bars but was delighted to find this spot!! It has one of the most beautiful ambiances you can imagine and they have lights set into the tables to make your drinks even more beautiful than they already are! Service was really quick and staff was friendly. The drinks were really enjoyable. Highly recommend for a date night or to catch up with friends. Truly an enjoyable experience!

    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!

    Cute date spot! It gives cozy vibes and the volume is perfect for intimate conversations. The service is great and everyone's very hospitable. If you're into cocktails, I highly recommend this place. My martini was excellent. 4 stars because there's no reception down there.

One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too.

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!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
