    The Salted Watermelon Frose delivers on the "salted watermelon" part of the name (though it's still a bit sweet for someone who doesn't like sweet stuff) and it comes with a bonus chunk of watermelon. Read more

    Probably the best frozen Painkiller in the city. Just like Ramona’s in Greenpoint, Elsa has an extensive cocktail list across a range of spirits. There’s a back patio and snacks available too.

    I love this place! Amazing drinks and vibe. Yes, the vibe is really great. There's a back porch that is super relaxed and makes you feel like you're need Greece (Hint: it's very white).

    Best cocktail bar in the neighborhood. Order the Black Book if you're a bourbon person

    One of the few bars that understands that cocktails don’t have to be sweet! Excellent service and atmosphere. Fave bar in the neighborhood! I never order cocktails anywhere but here. ❤️

    Cool little spot to grab a cocktail. Good for groups. Various cocktails listed by liquor type - which is key! Bathrooms feel like you're in a space ship.

    Cool spot, great ambiance and even better cocktails. The Self Portrait was a winner.

    Great-looking place with equally tasty drinks. It gets a bit loud but the drink program and balcony make this a must-try.

    Beautiful bar with great drinks. "Welcome to the Slipstream" is a winner.

    Love the seasonal mezcal cocktails. Amazing drinks all around, and a patio in the back!

    If you like the limited happy hour options, it’s super affordable!

    All the charm as the original but a little too bright. Get a Death of a ladies man.
