The Up & Up

Stay Gold, from The Up & Up Team, Will Open in Kips Bay This Summer | Eater NY

"Opened three years ago in Greenwich Village, The Up & Up has a particularly solid reputation among restaurant industry workers for serving well-executed bottled and classic cocktails in an unpretentious, straightforward way. It is a seated-only cocktail bar that accepts parties of six or fewer, and its simple design is anchored by throwback floral wallpaper from a noted designer. Cocktails generally don’t get overly experimental — ingredients and recipes are straightforward — exemplified by the “Screen Door Slam” (Maker’s, Aperol, honey, vanilla, and absinthe) and the popular “Insanely Good Gin & Tonic”; the menu pairs these drinks with snacks from Murray’s Cheese and even Miller High Life at the bar." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
