Tim Appnel

I highly recommend the Mata Hari -- burbon, mezcal , citrus and a splash of ginger beer . It's a flavorful cocktail that is sweet, tart and smokey that is surprising harmonious and a delight to drink.

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.

Adrian Phillips

Excellent cocktails , their take on the Martini with St. German (Dragomiroff) is one of my new favorite drinks. Small bar with limited table seating, it's a perfect spot for Date Night . Great food too!

Sumeet Shah

This is my favorite cocktail bar in the entire city . Never jam packed, never pretentious , just good on all angles. If you'll find me at any cocktails bar , it's here or Dear Irving.

Sam Brown

Tastefully themed, it actually feels like you are sitting in an old train dining car. I'd recommend the Death on the Orient Express cocktail , then go read Agatha Christies similarly titled 1934 novel !

Jesse Lane

Nice quiet little bar in the WV with great cocktails . You can pick from their list, or have the bartender mix up a bespoke cocktail for you based on your flavor preferences.

Sam Brown

Like pomegranate ? Try the Monaco beer cocktail , it's pomegranate , soda , and pilsner . A truly refreshing, deliciously easy drink.

John Antony

Two to tango Agatha and Danube FTW, this place is awesome, it's quite classy , good bartenders and brilliant drinks . Perfect place for cocktails , really impressed

Justin Van Der Horn

The bartenders choice is never a ba choice. They make great cocktails you wouldn't think of yourself. Don't deprive yourself of the cheese platter and youre a fool if you don't get the veggie panini

Chad Horner

a cool cocktail bar in its own right - it's designed like a train car! - but also perfect for its proximity to the Spotted Pig , which usually requires a lengthy wait

Amalia Goutaki

Love this bar . Dating spot in the West Village . On a weekday it's pretty quiet-you can easily be seated. From Russia with love is my favorite drink!

Jen Rios

The drinks are good although a step down from a lot of the cocktail bars in the area.It's quaint and easy going. They have small plates . Had the meats plate and was not a fan. I still say try the bar

DoubleDeuce

My favorite thing about this place is that it's definitely a West Village crowd but it's a little out of the way so not too obnoxious.

Devon Lawrence

Love this spot!! Super cute and feels like you are going back in time. The experience and the ambiance are great!

No Leftovers Jackie Gebel

Awesome little cocktail bar in the west village ! They create custom cocktails - great for dates

Andrew Litvak

Really great French-style ambiance. The cocktails are well made, and the food is small but delicious.

Elie Kardous

My favorite bar in the west village . Try the Danube ...awesome ambience, very cozy and quaint...

Paul Sanwald

The Hercules is a unique, fantastic drink if you like Rye and Scotch (there's scotch foam!)

Eric Shine

Great artosonal cocktails . Very professional and knowledgeable staff . Themed to look like an old rail car.

Bobby Nooromid

The Danube tastes even better and more refreshing in a rocks glass. And it looks like it's/actually is a greater amount as well .

Meg Farmer

Super cute , great date spot . Quiet , dark, romantic & friendly service .

Margarita Krup

Cocktails were ok, tried From Russia with Love . The services was bad, took 30 min to get the bartenders attention to order another drink. Nice ambiance.

Dolapo Falola

you can order shots of raki here. this is something i can strongly recommend that you (not) do.

Kathleen Corless

Amazing cocktails , super sexy environment. If you like sweet, try the sleeper car

Great cocktails . Outdoor space is nicely done.

Fun chill bar in nyc. Good sauv blanc

I'm kinda obsessed with the St. Polten here. Every other cocktail is just as amazing.

The Red-cap is smoky and spicy (and delicious) 🍸

They happen to have a relatively secret food menu. Just enough for a meal.
