Jannica Robertson: Order a sazarac or an Old fashioned.
John A: Great quality cocktails! One of better mixologist locations in NYC, cozy and warm location, but gets crowded quickly. Recommend the Mata Hari and the Sleeping Car.
Miguel Lopez: Cool setting, and good mixology behind the bar.

Summer Izkovich: It's pretty awesome. They have probably one of the best old fashions here.
Eli Showalter: Best Sazerac I've ever had. Friendly bartender. Great food downstairs. If you get there earlier in the day you can even bring the burgers up and grab a nice beer to pair with your Five Guys!
lindsay kim: good craft cocktails, novelty to get there thru five guys...

ᴡ mcgee: Bramble cocktail was tasty, but don't order it if you're on a date. The seeds from the blackberries are not your friend. Their version of Pimms Cup is a nice, summery drink too.
Leah Firebaugh: Pimms Cup is REAL refreshing on these 90+degree days
MVQ: Two words. Pimms Cup. Enjoy ;)

emily chen: happiest hour always turns into happiest hours here. great playlist and vibe. my go-to is the sazerac. get the burger -reminiscent of in-n-out, fries, and the broccoli. you won't regret.
when we roam when we roam: The Manhattan version of the commodore! Love me some tiki drinks
Xander Hudson: Skillfully balanced, delicious drinks, great Manhattan, super sweet bartenders. This place rocks.

Johnny Leo: Fried pickles with crab dip = amazing. Ask Adam to make your Manhattan.
eFlirt Expert: A date spot with ambiance. If its nice out, ask for seating in the garden. If it's happy hour, take advantage of $6 craft cocktails and $1 oysters (aphrodisiacs!).
𝙶𝚘𝚗𝚣𝚊𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚜: The beet chips are bananas! Also they make great Manhattans

Valentin Guerin: My prefered place to sip a good cocktail while watching the sunset... Try a French 75 or a Cucumber Gimlet (with Gin)!
Irina: The place is beautiful, so arrive in style. All champagne cocktails are made w/ Moët 👌🏻 Try "pornstar martini" and "blood and sand".
firestartr: One of the top spots in NYC. It's got it all - ambience, amazing cocktails and spectacular views. A must!
Dana OMalley: Packed and overpriced. Not my favorite combo, but definitely a place to check out once. Skip the mojito and gimlet (bartenders don't seem to be great at making drinks)... go for the beer.
T-Dog N.: Amazing mixology bartenders without the pretentious mixology vibe. Inexpensive raw bar too! Love it. Great summer spot.
Alex M.: If you go and it's not completely flooded with people, it might seem weird the absence of music, but once full the place is all the fun you expect any summer afternoon in downtown Manhattan.
