What people say
From real reviewsThis place has a cool and trendy vibe but still down to earth. Drinks are imaginitive and were very well made by Philip the bartender - I particularly liked the Duchamp’s Brau and the espresso martini. Even when it got crazy busy, service was way faster than you’d expect from…
Fun new bar on Avenue C, let's hope they can get enough people to come down and drink there!
Awesome vibe, clean, and the bartenders are super friendly. I’ve seen some great music acts here. If you are seeing a show, I’d recommend coming early to get your preferred spot at the bar or in the booths.
