"The Up & Up opened in Greenwich Village three years ago and has a particularly solid reputation among restaurant industry workers, serving well-executed bottled and regular cocktails, as well as snacks from Murray’s Cheese. The cocktails at Up & Up generally don’t get too experimental with ingredients or try too hard to be fancy creations. It’s unpretentious, serving Miller High Life alongside cocktails. The ingredients and recipes are straightforward, as with the “Screen Door Slam,” a cocktail made with Maker’s, Aperol, honey, vanilla, and absinthe." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
