Yami Alonso

Great small tapas - a little on the pricey side but must haves: Rock shrimp , croquettas de jamon , and any selection of their jamon Serrano . Great underground spot with high quality cocktails

Ashley Weinaug

Open up the huge plain door and step into a beautifully decorated bar where the kitchen and bar are all together. Highly recommend shishito peppers , cheese plate , and the jalapeño non-alcoholic drink.

Rebecca Mazza

Amazing cocktails , amazing food, and amazing service! I don't think there is a wrong thing to order here. The skirt stake is outstanding and the Dali margarita !

Ksenia Naumova

Great bar food : the secret paella and skirt steak is my fav. Infinite Wisdom for cocktails . Oh, and papas bravas !

Jess S

Finally something in midtown somewhat worthy. Beautiful open space design w/communal tables. Great small plates/wine list. Try the flash fried shishito peppers , you're in for a hot surprise!

California

Great selection of cocktails , amazing pisco sours ! Request a seat at the bar and you will feel like you are sitting in the middle of a busy kitchen, unique experience!

Santi Amaya

Great place to come for after work cocktails (Warning, they're expensive !!). Really cool space with a great selection of interesting cocktails . Get the Penicillin

Constantine Zuev

Try smoked octopus . It's delicious! And if you up to old fashioned style cocktails the Sazerac is a must.

Ricky Sherrill

A nice spot for afterwork drinks. You can avoid the crowds & rush of Grand Central while still being close by to easily catch your train .

Ahmie Becks

Lovely cocktails and wine list . Tasty small plates . Priced well for the area. Good chance I will be a regular.

Ira B

Awesome spot. Very cool ambience and the drinks are definitely good. Mexican firing squad is a good go to if you don't mind sweeter drinks!

Martin

Good choice for having breakfast . Decent coffee , nice and welcoming staff . Go for the Breakfast Bowl and/or Oatmeal . ????

Jeff Tropeano

This is really one of the coolest places I've been to in my 10 years in NYC. You HAVE to go. Read more

Julie Tringali

French 75 drink is the best. Loved the ambiance of this bar , especially that there is no entrance right off the street.

Jason Schulweis

Expensive but great cocktails . Had the Kentucky Oil and it was one of the best bourbon cocktails I've ever had

Aaron Flatt

Amazing food , Amazing cocktails , and amazing service! I don't think there is a wrong thing to order here.

Doris Hu

Great cocktails and delicious small plates . I recommend the shishito pepper and the octopus .

kate k

Cool vibe and intimate early in the night, but soon gets very loud . Marcona almonds well below average, don't bother. Lamb skewers very tasty and papas bravas wonderfully smokey. Arepas are OK.

Ernesto Gutierrez

For those into spicy drinks : fast of fire and Kentucky oil . For the ladies who like fruity cocktails : the 65th crayon

Glen Bischoff

Bone marrow and pork belly were superb. Great vibe and cocktails .

Shaun Tollerton ⚡️

House Smoked Sazerac was boss. Smoked applewood literally flowing out of the glass as you drink it. ????☁️

Amy Koo

Great quality cocktails but a bit pricey . High quality glassware .

G N

Nice place with good atmosphere. Tasty wine and what do you want more?

Modern, dark atmosphere with some of the best cocktails in midtown.

The Mexican Firing Squad is an outstanding drink. Highly recommend it.

Hidden but lively spot. Pricey drinks but better than other nearby places.

The Fruit Cobbler and Red Barn are great cocktails ! Awesome vibe and delicious food you can't go wrong here.

Great bar - good for after work as you aren't surrounded by commuters or tourists a true haven

Steven White

Order draught for the mug. And the scallops are great!

Vicki N

Great chill spot for groups. Plus DJ was on fire.

Adriana @ YuGGleR APP

Bear Hug cocktail is a must if you like lemon this time if year

John McEvoy

Have the Mex Firing Squad but have them make it with a mescal . Sooo good.

Anna Ohare

Great place to grab strong cocktails with churros !

Yera Ha

The Cellar Door really is fantastic! Sweet and refreshing.

Meg Farmer

Tries to be cool - really a midtown after work spot in disguise.

Matthew Tringali

Excellent bar choice for cocktails .

Koen Blanquart

Come for the wine selection , stay for the tapas .

Melissa Ford

They don't have happy hour specials

Helen Rosner

The Mexican Firing Squad is the kind of cocktail that makes you forget you're currently drinking your sixth one. Read more

Kushal Dave

A little loud and pricey , but cocktails and tapas are solid.

Desiree Jones

Nice ambiance. Arroz was dry, cod fritters are good but greasy. Egg white drinks available but if u order a pisco sour ... Make sure u get a dash of angostura bitters on the top. Service great.

Anne Lac

Good drinks here are: the cellar door (their signature) or the fresh fruit cobbler (slightly sweet but strong).

Darya Neyburger

Atmosphere, drinks, location

Ardit Bejko

Rock shrimp ! Dip the bread directly in the dish.

Andrew Strickman

Prepare for a large but tasty bill at the end of a few glasses of Pappy Van Winkle 20yr

Doreen Peled

Huge, dark-walled, with trained mixologists

Michelle Coudon

Try the Mexican Firing Squad Cocktail - it's killer! - MichelleC.tv

AJ

Get the signature cocktail The Cellar Door, crisp yet complex, like 'Autumn on Ice!' ;)

This place is a nasty bit of work. Corporate snobby banker boy new New York.
