The 9 Best New Bars of 2025 | Bon Appétit

"This East Village spot feels like an irreverent, stylish house party where Willy Wonka–esque inventiveness meets solid craft: cocktails range from Kraft-ranch–infused Patrón to an apple-and-mustard–vinaigrette–looking drink and a larb gai–inspired concoction featuring cognac, peanuts, rice, and chili oil. The space is divided into a front ‘Living Room’ with ’70s European bachelor-pad vibes—modular Dieter Rams seating, terrazzo tables, and warm, flattering lighting—and a clubbier back ‘Kitchen Table,’ which helps explain the long lines and fashionably stylish crowds that flock here." - ByJoseph Hernandez
