"If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain (while being chased by a pack of bloodthirsty werewolves), this tiki bar by way of a B-movie in the East Village should tally with your idea of a good time. Horror film sound effects and intentionally kitsch decor aside, this dark, eerie bar with an unmarked door and demonic rock soundtrack manages to stay on the cool side of tacky, thanks largely to its long, creative drinks menu. It’s pricey, but go ahead and order a cocktail that involves smoke, fire, and about seven different ingredients you’ve never heard of before. It'll be worth it." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
