This is a great bar if you love a simple cocktail that's crafted with very specific intentions. The attention to detail is incredible and they make drinks consistently. The flavors are thoughtful and the wings will change your life.

Food is good and so are the drinks. They have a habit of taking the best things off the menu

The drinks were really good. This place is near Barclays so it’s a great place to hang out before a concert. The bartender was really nice, but the host (or perhaps waiter? seemed to be having a bad day and was somewhat grumpy. I would still go again though!

Cool vibe but drinks are super weak and bartender was kinda rude. I don’t know if that’s his vibe but he was really nice to another couple that were probably regulars. Presentation and variety of drinks was also meh given the price.The wings were amazing and the chef who made them was super sweet!Wanted to love this place but oh well

First time visiting after hearing great reviews on this bar… but definitely felt that the bartenders and hostess played favorites and preferred regulars. The entire experience felt very rushed. The bar was full, and the hostess offered us to “wait” at the standing area, and insisted we can order our drinks while we wait for seats at the bar. After a few minutes, we ordered our drinks and it was immediately served to us in literally 3 minutes. I thought the drinks would be served after we got a seat. I almost couldn’t believe how fast the drinks were crafted. Eventually we got seats at the bar and had to carry our stuff over there, it was a hassle. I would’ve just preferred to stand at that point. Overall very American feel, that even the whole Japanese decor and ambiance felt out of place. Cocktails were just okay (very light, not strong) and nothing special. A bit overpriced for what the ingredients were in the $18 drinks. Two drinks came to be about $45 after tax and tips. There are other bars with better drinks, I won’t be returning.
