Ben RSeptember 28, 2014Cocktails in the original Milk and Honey space. No menu, no sign. Just knock on the door and take a seat.
Theresa RoldanJanuary 3, 2016No menu. Just tell the bartender what you like/don't like and he'll make the perfect cocktail. Very small so expect a [worthwhile] wait.
The New YorkerFebruary 13, 2014“Attaboy has no menu; you suggest a mood or a flavor and the bartenders improvise, which they do proudly or gruffly.” Read more
Sefi KeiniMay 14, 2016Good cocktails but for an exorbitant price. 17$ is a lot more than what comparable speakeasy /cocktail bar charge for a drink
Rebecca KatzMarch 24, 2018No menu, the server comes over and you tell them what you’re in the mood for and they will surprise you!
- Explain what you're looking for in a cocktail to the bartender and they'll make exactly what you described.
Aviv GadotFebruary 26, 2016Great music, great drinks and great people. One of my most favorite bars!
Nicholas MatareseAugust 9, 2014Be daring and get the Electric Current Fizz: Classic Gin Fizz paired with a spicy egg yolk shooter.
Maayan SheinfeldDecember 7, 2014Really cool place. Great cocktails, no menu, just say what you like;)
Rob JuckettMarch 4, 2015Just go here, don't even read this just go. Everything is amazing and you can't go wrong
ニコラス DmitriJune 12, 2013Just come with no more than 3 friends. Trust them to make something awesome & let the magic happen.
Jessica BailisApril 16, 2015Amazing bespoke cocktails, just tell the bartender what you're craving 😉
Johnny WonMay 18, 2015Quiet, wonderful and extremely professional cocktail bar. World class experts.
These are the best bartenders in the world. Let them pick your drink and prove it.
Pretty much the best Penicillin you will ever find. Smell it before every sip please.
TomApril 28, 2014Knock or press the door bell and wait for the lock to make a clicking sound, then pull. Worth it.
Try something with ginger in it, like the penicillin. You won't regret it.
One of the best Old Fashioned's there is. Try a Gordon's Breakfast too.
Jeff MartensOctober 12, 2023Expect a long wait. Don’t ask for an estimate for how long. Bartenders are total professionals at the top of their game. Trust what they do.
AaronMarch 27, 2013Just tell the bartender what flavors you're looking for and let them work their magic!- Saima SirajApril 12, 2016Give them a chance to pick your beverage and demonstrate it..
Meg LewisJuly 18, 2015No menus here! Tell the bartenders what you like/don't like and they'll make something special just for you!
Valentina MonteDecember 12, 2013men with beards and jewelry and billowing shirts mix excellent cocktails.
Freja HSeptember 14, 2014Bottom line: don't go, and def don't bring friends - bartenders great but Australian door guy an arrogant pompous prick who quotes 20 min at a 2h wait- Nagak SAugust 8, 2014Staff are nice, good personal vibe. You'd never know it was there if you walked past.
Rebecca MazzaJune 20, 2016They don't have vodka here or a menu. But the bartenders know what they are doing and listen to what you like
Sam BermanMay 27, 2016Just trust Sam, he will make you exactly what you didn't know you NEED to drink
Suri RSeptember 1, 2013Don't be shy about holding down the door bell, it's actually just a light the bartenders can see.
pablcoDecember 30, 2014recommended by benno . he says they are the best (expensive) cocktails on the city

"My favorite cocktail bar in the city. Cozy and surprisingly unpretentious. If you're looking to have a bite, the beef tartare is yummy - the bartenders make it at the bar!"
Vania S. - 8.3
"Easily top 5 best cocktails bars in NY. Charmingly rustic. Go for the Mezcal Mule. Try the 2Pok Crif Dog with Pok Pok wing sauce (hold the cilantro though)."

"Cheap, authentic, and delicious, Vanessa’s is perhaps the most American-friendly low end dumpling house in the city. Cash in on 4/$1 pork and chive dumplings and sesame pancakes with veggies. 5/5"

Josephine Son - 8.6
"Favorite bar right now. The decor, music, atmosphere, munchies -- all rad. Tell the bartender what your preferred liquor is, and the mood you're in. S/he will make you a delicious cocktail. Trust."
