Want a cozy subterranean bar to wait out the cold? Head to the Tippler in Chelsea Market . It offers a historic feel and traditional cocktails like Moscow Mule . Order the Manhattan Flight ($15). Read more

The Crippler : initial gentle butterscotch-vanilla rum notes (J.M Overproof Rhum and the Austrian rum-tea liqueur Stroh Jägertee) before the bite of WhistlePig rye and Vida mezcal come in.

Amanda Gianninoto

Booty Collins was incredible, fresh, tangy and delicious! Picklebacks were delicious too, def homemade pickle juice . Can't wait to go back & try the homemade fireball ! Wait outside was well worth it!

I have this knack for finding hidden obscure bars with laid back vibe and good drinks. The Tippler is one of these places, being hidden in Chelsea Market with awesome mixed drink menu and decent music

Bee Williams

The Tippler is an all time fave of mine! I bring anyone visiting NYC here for great cocktails ! Definitely try the cheese & meat plate! Weekends does get busy! Dress nice too, you are in Meatpacking !

There's something about this cozy subterranean bar below Chelsea Market that makes it the place we want to spend every cold winter night. Enjoy expertly crafted cocktails and great people watching .

Dipika

Stopped by here for a drink after work once and found it to be quite cozy . Not too crowded and dimly lit..it was nice. Drinks were strong, & I already had a buzz going with just one whiskey ginger !

Alex Guevara

This is definitely a great bar with a good vibe. The people are super friendly and the selection of beer is impressive. Try to get here before 11 or else you'll be waiting on line .

ブルーノ

Loved this bar ! Came here for pre dinner cocktails and it reminded me of some of my fav places here in Italy. Cozy ambiance , great drinks, fair prices , and friendly staff .

Steve K

Frankly behind the bar is super nice to each and everyone that goes to this new bar . It'll be one of the top ten bars in NYC and stay in the top ten as long as she's behind the bar . 21-40 age group

Jon Rice

The Golden Gem and Booty Collins are true gems. Get a platter of meat and cheese and trust the waitstaff to choose for you; they know what's up!

Nicole

Really great vibe down here! Cool decor, cozy seating , high ceilings , and music low enough to talk over. The Booty Callins drink is like a vodka Master Cleanse. Low cell service but free wifi .

Elizabeth Burstein

Good to get in on the earlier side, because the line really starts to get long on a Saturday night. I had the new special cocktail with coke , lime , and more. It was great!

Eric Venker

Great cocktails . Sit at the bar and ask the guys to make you something special. There are a few great drinks that are no longer on the menu. You can by asking about those.

Jessica Pugliese

The Tippler has a super cool underground vibe. And it's ACTUALLY underground, so it's a great place to escape the heat after a successful Sunday Funday. The bartenders are great, as are the olives .

AJ Griem

An awesome bar , with a great atmosphere. There is something about bars that you don't know are there until you find them.

Jessie Catana

Sometimes it's packed and super loud with beautiful looking people, other times it's pretty chill . Over all a good choice for the neighborhood if you're not in the mood for B&Ters at the Gansevoort.

JP

Great late night cocktail spot. Good for groups and parties but know it'll be tough to have a conversation here.

Compass

This cocktail bar in the underbelly of Chelsea Market features themed cocktails that harken back to “the good old times.” The brick archways and untouched architecture are reason alone to visit.

Josh A

Awesome bar underneath Chelsea Market . Unique cocktails , cool industrial vibe. One of the best bars I visited in New York.

Paul Kardous

Bartenders are friendly , know their drinks, and can improvise very well . The space is cozy but still good for groups . No cell service inside which is a good and bad thing.

dsinsky

Very cool, very spacious basement cocktail bar under chelsea market

Nate Kowal

It reminds me of a Brooklyn space in Manhattan. It's underground, cozy and perfectly lit. Great frequently changing draft craft beer selection .

Marc Tunguz

Best cocktail bar of our trip. Cocktails are delicious and surprising. If you're around Chelsea Market and searching for a drink, this is the place !!

Emilie Futterman

Great cocktails , love the booty Collins . Come weeknights, it's packed with the preclub crowd weekends

Aaron Flatt

Excellent cocktails and warm and friendly service in spite of the huge Saturday mid-day crowd. Nice speakeasy vibe without the pretension

Melissa Monsalve

The space is great, tucked under Chelsea market . A little escape with great cocktails and random books . Snag a table if you can!

Joe Montes

Cocktails are great. The atmosphere is very cozy with all of the incandescent lighting. There are tables for large groups. No happy hour .

Lauren Ford

So cute ! Was warmly greeted coming in. Found seating right away. Had a beer and good company. I think that's all you need on a Friday night.

Stephen Daimler

Cool bar . The Booty Collins is nowhere near as good as the Booty Collins I had in Philly at Apothecary (now closed). If you're expecting that one, try something else!

Rachel C

Excellent cocktails and friendly service in spite of the huge Saturday afternoon crowd. Nice speakeasy vibe without the pretension

BoozeMenus

If you want a classic cocktail , something off the beaten path, a beer from the selection of draught beers , or a light bite, The Tippler is an ideal choice. Watch as Tad shakes up the Derek Smalls . Read more

Serious Eats

Subterranean cocktail bar hidden below Chelsea Market , with excellent cocktails and plenty of space to bring a whole group.

harryh

This might be the perfect after work bar . Nice but not fancy , plenty of space, great cocktails and snacks , a big screen with the game on. I only wish it was closer to my office !

Lauren Mac

Love this place. Great drinks, not snooty, wide open space , rarely a line . A rare find in the Meatpacking District.

John E

Hit or miss depending on the crowd, but cool spot nonetheless. Occasionally closed so look for neon sign above entrance. Strong drinks from skilled cocktail makers. Underground -> limited cell signal.

Samiha Khan

Is it just me or is this place always filled with dudes? Drinks are good and strong and the music here is nice too. Kind of a speakeasy because it's a bit of a maze down before actually entering.

Ali F.

No more handcut chips = tragedy (please bring them back!) but the menu retains the rest of its gems. The Derek Smalls is light and refreshing and the deviled egg toast is rich and crunchy good.

As the night continues, move on to heavier items, such as the Boquerones ($9), anchovies with roasted garlic spread on thick country bread . A shot of lemon adds a bright acidity to the dish Read more

Meg Farmer

Underground bar with solid cocktails that serves as a decent date spot during the week, and pick up spit on the weekends.

Jake Paul

Very cool atmosphere and a big space hidden beneath Chelsea Market

Anthony Popeo

Good with coworkers; also worked well as a last stop (it gets quieter later).

Juan Gonzalez

Careful when ordering "El Tourista". The mezcal and cayenne pepper salt is a delicious, yet deadly combination. It's not on the new menu, but the bartenders will still honor the request.

Jillian

Booty Collins : fun to say, fun to drink. Side of white bean toast , please and thank you.

Natasha Taylor

Vast space...phenomenal cocktails ...attractive crowd but not pretentious . Brings a smile to my face. Although weekends can get very busy. Try the weekdays.

AmateurConcierge

A good, busy, after work spot if you're in meat packing or southern Chelsea. Have too many drinks and stumble to Los Tacos No.1

Victoria Natenzon

Always a line outside. Great for birthdays, after-work drinks, large groups. The venue itself is very cool too.

Natalie K

Wonderful low key cocktail spot. They make cocktails to taste - you're not limited to the menu.

Chris Evans

Booty Collins is a great cocktail , James and the Giant Peace is another refreshing choice.

Leigh Ferreira

enter @ the open sign, go down the stairs, turn right, say hi to michael the owner & michael jr, order a sage lushie. thank me later!
