Best new bar in town , in the old Milk & Honey space . There's a new longer bar , no reservation policy and they now serve wine & beer as well as classic cocktails . Great vibe & awesome service!

Jason Chuang

Find the door marked AB and ring the bell to get buzzed in. Tell them your preferred liquor & flavor profiles. Interesting combos come up but be patient as they may take a while. Always worth the wait

Eater

Enjoy low lights and beautiful cocktails on any given weekday night at Attaboy on the Lower East Side. Instead of offering a menu, bartenders create drinks based on a customer's tastes. Read more

Abner Aceves

Probably one of my favorite cocktails bar i've ever been in the NYC. You get asked what spirit you like and the cocktail experts make you something unique every time. Knock twice, leave your name.

Amanda Rella

Ring the bell on the unmarked 124AB door to put your name down. There is no menu - you tell them what flavour profiles you like. Great bartenders and drinks. Very cool speakeasy vibes.

Victoria Natenzon

Best speakeasy in this city . Tell the mixologist what you're feeling and he'll create the best concoction of your life. Tiny place so go on a Sunday night to get in without a wait.

Lauren Evelyn Anne

Amazing cocktails with bartenders that know their stuff. Think outside the box here for your perfect drink since there's no formal menu. Ask for a white negroni - the best I've ever had.

Noah Weiss

The best bespoke cocktails in NYC now? Sam Ross, the owner, created the Penicillin . Even if you don't like scotch , order it. Then get the "Ralphacillin", a riff with maple dark rum .

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Delicious bespoke drinks and a cool hidden exterior. Loved the beekeeper drink I had with bourbon and honey . An intimate space that's great for a date or catching up with an old friend.

Lauren Mac

👌🏼 Put your name early, hang out at Fig 19. when you return, sit back & let the bartenders work their magic. There's a dedication to the craft here & appreciation for detail, esp. if you sit barside

Alex Tsu

A truly spectacular speakeasy offering custom drinks based on your preferences; tell the bartender what flavors you like and watch him make the cocktail you've been dreaming of.

(Thrillist tip) No menu, so get comfortable w/ the pro bar staff and bare your soul..modern classics, like the Penicillin , with whiskey , honey-ginger syrup , lemon , and Islay Scotch .

Adrian Phillips

My favorite cocktail bar in New York. Knock on the door and put your name in. They'll call you when your table is ready. Drinks are amazing just tell them what you feel like and go from there.

PUNCH

Attaboy is the everyman’s cocktail bar hidden in plain sight. With a no-menu format, bartenders feel out your vibe and deliver some of the most solid cocktails in all of New York. Read more

Harrison Johnson

The classic. Get there early or expect to wait at a nearby bar (try RPM). This place will make you feel special. No menu, just say what you're feeling. Drinks are 💪 but some of the best in the world

Billy Jacobson

Cocktails are amazing. Atmosphere is super chill and not crowded . The list moves pretty fast and you can explore other places around there while you wait

Antony

Superlatively good. I've been to many cocktail bars but the expertise here is one of the best I've ever experienced. Yet still very down to earth, friendly and accessible. The hype is justified.

dsinsky

Apparently the owner (who bartends regularly) is the inventor of the penicillin and, unsurprisingly, his version is the best in the city . The imperial buck is also spectacular.

Dan Barton

Took over Little Branch for my favorite speakeasy in the city . One of the owners, Michael, was an amazing bartender and we had a perfect time. About :45 minute wait on a Sunday, the place is popular.

Marie Richer

The cocktails here are great and made custom according to your preferences. They're pricey but very strong and worth it! Also the bartenders are really friendly .

Shawn Popp

Really small and really dark. Love it! Cool format. No menu, $22 drinks. Music was a bit loud , hard to have a conversation but overall it was a great time. Really looking forward to the next time

Wendy Qiu

Flavor Profile - asked for gin , cucumber and fruit puree. Got the best cocktail - with strawberries , not overbearing, and refreshing. Not sure it was worth the $16 and 1 hr wait ....

Scott Pflugler

Longer wait, but the drinks are amazing. No menu, bartender just asks what spirits and flavors you like and delivers a great drink. The wait is worth it so the bar isn't packed all the time.

Marianne N

No menus, the bar tender works out what you like and creates something for you. She was spot on. Look for the door marked “AB”.

Stephany

Had a few cocktails that changed my life. Outstanding Old Fashioned if you want to stick to a classic .

Joanne Cronin

I was feeling in the mood for tequila , so I first revived a bracing stirred drink, Tres Hands, with tequila , mezcal & vermouth . This was followed by a sweeter, lighter Ju Ju. Both top notch

Amy Chen

Definitely bring someone here for a date. The waiter takes care of you and makes sure you are happy. The drinks are phenomenal, and there's a consistent low murmur. Awesome vibes.

Lauren Hepps

Seriously skip all the stupid mustaches and suspenders at the other speakeasys and check this place out. Great staff . Great cocktails . Great patrons. Love it!

Emilie Futterman

Great cocktails , do bartenders choice. Wait to get in is long, so put your name down and then go for a pre-snack or drink somewhere else in the neighborhood while you wait. Worth the wait.

Mayank Mahajan

Excellent cocktails , all made without a menu. Venture out your comfort zone and be surprised with what you get!

steven barbarich

Fantastic drinks with personal service. Drinks are made based on your mood/preference. The bartender was lovely. Perfect place to connect with an old friend over great drinks.

Edwina McGregor

Without a doubt one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to. No menu. Just tell the bartender what flavours you feel like and you'll get your own unique cocktail .

Beka C

Good mixology spot for a date or catching up with a friend or two. Must get seated so it doesn't get crowded or too loud but the actual crowd is all over the place. Nice bartenders .

Zack Sheppard

Just say what you're in the mood for and they will find the right cocktail for you. There is no menu. There is no vodka .

Alyssa B.

Menu-less, what’s your vibe place. Loved the Hotel Nacionale! The wait for 5 on a Monday night at 8pm was an hour… way better than I expected

Colleen Shea

If U ever get in the expensive drinks will be worth it. Speakeasy atmosphere. No cocktail list , tell the bartender what u like & he'll make u something!They call u when seats open,could take a while.

Zach R

Amazing place to grab unique cocktails . Smile for the camera and someone will come greet you at the door. Expect a wait, but they call when your seats are ready.

Jason Brew

Say hi to the camera above the gray door that says "AB" on it to gain entry. There's no drink menu so just talk to the bartender about what you like and they'll invent you a drink!

Time Out New York

From the up-tempo retro tunes to the brightly lit, lived-in digs (whitewashed brick, tarnished a sign hanging on the wall), Attaboy proves a breezy evolution of the form. Read more

Kate Furman

Look for 134 AB Eldridge Street, a nondescript grey door, and ring the bell. This is a no menu speakeasy , tell the bartender what liquor and flavors you prefer in your drinks.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Fantastic atmosphere, low key , great drink creations and friendly and knowledgeable staff . Get there early, place is small, wait will be long later

Ross WS

There is no menu but you can trust that your bartender will ask the right questions to bring you something utterly unexpected but right on. Still a must-visit in a city overrun with new openings.

Muskan

The bartender asks you what you like and comes back with an amazing concoction . It's intimate , interesting and well worth it.

Chris

You’ll need to look carefully to find this spot. Plan on a wait to get into this small, dark cocktail bar . Great drinks!

Christopher Gutierrez

This is *the* best cocktail bar I've ever been to. Give the a rough idea of what you want or the mood you are in and they will make you an amazing drink.

Joe Fontana

Tell them the mood your in. Don't ask questions. Sip some amazement!! I've been welcome here for years and there's nothing better than a cocktail prepared by guys who love making cocktails

Harry Wolff

Can't go wrong with the Penicillin , or just ask for what your heart desires. Best to go in small groups, highest chances of getting in.

Jeff Solomon

There is no menu. Instead, the host asks what you’re interested in drinking and then they come up with something that fits your tastes on the spot. Highly recommend

Kathrine

Amazing cocktails , all dealer’s choice. Expect to wait and hour or two for a table, but plan ahead for it—totally worth it!

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

GREAT cocktails in old milk & honey space . way more chill now, some of the bartenders are Aussies!! Has weird opening hours like 6:45 or something like that.
