R*January 4, 2013The best cocktails in NYC!!! Let the doorman "James" know you're Italian to skip the queue.
BettyJuly 22, 2012Dress up for a weekend visit. But for a low-key night, come between 7:30-9 on a weekday.
Matthew CaldecuttOctober 16, 2015It still has that "vibe," but is it really worth trying to get to the crowded bar?
catherine michelle banningAugust 27, 2013Omg! What a gem this place is! Live jazz on a Monday nite! Awesomeness in Chinatown!!!
Try the Bees Knees - Vodka, bee pollen, goji berry reduction, pink guava, Ginger, lime, agave nectar
Monday night jazz with Chinatown All Stars is the best reason to hang out here on Monday nights.
Julius TarngNovember 25, 2014Drinks are okay and more floral/scented than I usually dig - the whole vibes trying a bit too hard.
Make sure you have a prescription for the Pigmy Gimlet:Kiwi, Vodka, Eucalyptus Tincture, Agave Nectar, Lime, Cracked Black Pepper...
- Simran JaisingJanuary 27, 2013tell the mixologists what you're feeling. they really prescribe great drinks.
How To Make It In AmericaFebruary 5, 2010Insane cocktails at mad Austrian scientist's lair in Chinatown. Ridiculous showmanship, jaw-dropping presentation. Look for the crowd begging entry under the "Gold Flower Restaurant" sign. [BlackBook] Read more
The Vanilla Sidecar is a nice surprise on a friday night, very smooth, sweet and packs a punch.
Try to hit weeknights! Best music acts take you back in time
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011Killer cocktails and a great place for grown ups. I loved the location and the ambiance.
Food & WineApril 21, 2011This Chinatown "cocktail apothecary" has more than 250 specialty drinks created with house-made liqueurs and infusions.
Dessy RabuseJuly 27, 2010good specialty drinks! Music was decent. They started spinning 80's late night. Which is always fun. Small and cramped though. Welcome to NY!- Try the Dr. Ruth - California strawberries, vodka, rosemary, agave nectar, lime, champagne
Jack EtheringtonSeptember 8, 2017Tasteful design, live music adds to vibe. Drinks were mediocre, flavours didn't match and textures didn't blend. Wouldn't go back in a hurry unless in the area.

"Tucked away on a small street in Chinatown, COOLHAUS staff head here on Sundays to escape the ever-growing brunch crowd in Williamsburg. All dimsum is made-to-order and their menu is tourist-friendly!"
