The Best Cocktail Bars in New York City
"A two-in-one West Village concept that pairs an izakaya-style kitchen upstairs with a dim, contemplative cocktail den below, delivering contrasting yet complementary experiences. Downstairs, inventive, carbonated creations—such as plaintain coladas made with shochu and Amish milk or tequila and tomatillo blends jazzed with shiso and horseradish—play against a quieter, meditative vibe; upstairs the drinks are more approachable and the atmosphere boisterous. The project unites chef Mike Bagale with bartenders Shingo Gokan and Steve Schneider, and a full night out requires sampling both floors." - Brad Japhe
