    I read the reviews before coming here and they all said the service was horrible. However, that's not what I experienced. I had to wait for someone and I was standing and they offered me multiple times a seat while I waited. They were attentive once seated and weren't upset that we stayed a while but didn't order much.

    Its a craft cocktail bar; thats it. Cool menu, nice decor and the mixologists are masters of their craft. We popped in before our dinner reservation. Everything we had was on point. The champagne old fashioned was fire. Endless refills of water and extroverted social bartenders. $19 each for all their craft cocktails; good price point for Manhattan. I am a fan.

    I moved into Tribecca around a year ago and this was the first place I came. Good vibes/ambiance, strong espresso martinis (take note of this) and it was steps from my apartment so pretty much all you need in a bar. I've been back sporadically and never had an issue but I should've read the more recent reviews before coming back to this place. Absolutely 180 in terms of service and staff. Our server (Paris or Christina was her name, we actually got conflicting answers) made us feel unwelcome from the moment we walked in. I tried to order an espresso martini to which she replied they didn't have. After I expressed my shock, given I had been there before and received them, she coldly responded "I doubt it." That rude encounter aside (I quickly subbed out a different drink) the rest of the evening she did not check on us, was drinking with other patrons/bartenders behind the bar, and we had to physically wave down someone else just to get the check. Just absolutely uncomfortable through and through and genuinely ruined our night being treated so oddly without provocation. 1 star for service, 3 stars only because the drinks were decent. Also as a note to the business- they should probably update their google post (see pic). Understand menus change so you can work on updating that while giving your staff additional training.

    happy hour oysters

    Came here for happy hour after work with a friend. It wasn't too crowded: there was a decent smattering of people, especially congregated around the bar, though we were able to find a table easily. I sometimes have trouble asserting elbow and ordering space at bars, with the attention cycles of bartenders, but the bartender was super genial and noticed me straight away, and when I placed an order he said he'd actually come take our order at our table.  Weather Up had oysters for $1.50 each, which wasn't a bad deal, though a fifty percent increase from the price listed on their website menu. We ordered three each and also each had a drink, from the tap list. My friend had a lager and I had a peanut butter chocolate porter. It was definitely one of the more interesting porters I've had. It was dark, with no foam, and tasted bitter at first, but had the sweeter aftertaste of chocolate peanut butter. Sometimes, when a porter is chocolate-flavored you barely get a whiff of the scent, but this flavor was fairly bold. The lingering aftertaste was distinctly like a peanut butter M&M. The oysters were smaller than I would have liked, and were slurped up way too quickly. They came with the usually assortment of lemon, horseradish, and cocktail sauce. I enjoyed the cocktail sauce a lot; it was a nice complement to the oysters' salty taste of the sea. Overall a fun experience. Great ambiance for a chat and a catch up with a friend, without feeling like your space is crowded. Looks like the crowd is more tasteful, too, probably due to the expensiveness of their cocktails. Their happy hour, which ends at 7pm on a weekday, only has deals for the oysters; there is unfortunately no drink deal. However, we did spot a fairly good deal for cocktails and oysters Saturdays, so we will be back to take advantage of that.

    Ladies wear flats! This is home to the lollipop heeled. Cocktails are delicious. We didn't try the food only the cocktails. I had The High Horse and Diablo. This is a cocktail bar where the drinks are tasty but they sneak up on you. There really is a stuffed peacock at the bar. The music is chill. The only drawback is the acoustics. You can barely have a conversation. You truly have to yell.

    Bottoms Up at the Weather Up! I came Tuesday night to Tyler Kord's "A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches" book launch party. The book is officially available for purchase June 14th!! I'm rarely in TriBeCa. I love fancy, hoity toity places but most of the time I just stick to Brooklyn, East Village and LES. Hmmm... I spend a lot of my time with the riff raff. I bought a ticket for the event off eventbrite and it was a steal. I got way more than my money's worth!! Commute is tough. Subways are not easy to come to this area. Only the 1 drops you off remotely close. I took the R and walked down. When I made the turn it was the "private party" sign that helped me find the spot. I was greeted with a copy of the cookbook, a magnet and postcards! When I got to the beautiful bar the menu had 3 cocktails, 3 wines and 2 beers. I worked my way up the cocktail menu, starting with the Santa Rosa. I'm a tequila fan, also Campari and who can go wrong with St. Germain. Each cocktail was perfectly crafted per customer. This one was served in a gorgeous detailed glass and a served with a metal straw. Normally I'm not a fan of the metal straws but in this case it didn't bother me. I'm pescatarian so some of the sandwiches I wasn't able to try. I did try the "Gentle Thoughts" sandwich. The asparagus was perfectly cooked. I liked how the books were opened to the recipe in the book for the highlighted sandwiches. There was also guest chefs! I was a huge fan of Speedy Romeo's spin on a sandwich. It was like watching a Top Chef challenge. The sandwich was thin slices mozzarella with a bread crumb sprinkled on top and a pea purée filler. The chef, Justin Bazdarich had his bowls all lined up and he prepared each one with such precision. He was also super nice and made me a couple veggie versions without the pancetta for little ol' me. After some libations, people were in the mood to socialize! I got the inside scoop of the zombie looking arm holding a sandwich enamel lapel pins hidden in the back room on some tables! (Designed by Love and Victory). So happy I scored one. I even met the chef, Tyler Kord! It was a night to remember! Thanks for the magical evening, Weather Up, No. 7 North and Tyler Kord! I woke up in need of coffee, sporting a new sandwich temporary tattoo, owning a new inspiring cookbook, adoring my rad new enamel pin and wit wonderful memories!

    Satan Cocktail
    Leslie D.

    Weather Up was the perfect place to meet up with my uomo* friend for a highly needed pre-dinner drink last night. Oh wait, I actually ended up having dinner there. Whoops. So much for just pre-dinner! For drinks, I had the Satan Cocktail (bourbon based) and he had The Astoria (gin based). Satan certainly packs a wallop in his beverages. I had a sip of his Astoria and found it to be a much kinder respite than the one Satan was providing. Still, mine was certainly enjoyable; I just wouldn't recommend it on an empty stomach. ... which is where the food comes in. After asking for my cocktail I placed an order for the steak tartare. I'm a big fan of raw meat and I always feel compelled to try tartare whenever it is offered (on a menu). About halfway through Satan's alley I received my meal. I immediately popped the egg yolk to let its delicious fluid seep into the cow canvas beneath. The meat was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The points were lightly toasted with just a trace of butter that was noticeable with every nibble. So delectable. The atmosphere of Weather Up is very laid back and casual which is why it was chosen in the first place. It's a great place to meet up with friends and have a conversation without worrying if you're talking too loud in an underground speakeasy. I really liked that. I also really liked the bartender who reminded me of a mix between Henry Cavill (the next Superman) and Richard Madden (Robb Stark from GOT). What's a good drink without some good eye candy? *Google it

    Espresso martini and a rum based coffee drink.

    A cool and trendy bar in Tribeca which is a great spot for a date or just to grab some drinks with friends. Despite what some other recent reviews claim, I've never had an issue getting service here or with my bill. What people have to understand is that this is a cocktail bar with sophisticated hard to make cocktails. These take time to make properly and won't be slung out with the ease of a vodka soda you might get at another bar. The mixologists here take their craft seriously and it shows in the quality of the drinks. The one downside is it is expensive with cocktails costing $19. That being said, I would recommend this as a place to grab a few drinks.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

The tea pot set was pretty but the tea bag were regular tea bag, there is no hot water refill once you finished, need to pay $10 extra for new tea pot. Starbucks coffee is cheaper!

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

    I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn to watch movies but I got an invitation to a Soirée…read morehere for the movie, Wicked. I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

    It's an enjoyable bar. It's slightly hidden away inside of an office building two flights down via…read morethe escalator next to the Alamo Drafthouse. Nice selection of alcohol, friendly bartenders and attentive service. Since it was tucked away it wasn't as crowded and I was able to spend an hour catching up with my friend and it wasn't overly crowded or loud.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. 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!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
