"At least one of your friends thinks The Back Room is really cool. And maybe they’re right. Another old-timey, 1920s-style spot, this LES bar is located down an alley on Norfolk Street, and it’s surprisingly casual for a place with couches, armchairs, oil paintings, and chandeliers. The cocktails here are served in teacups, and, while this does seem impractical, it’s a fun gimmick. If you want a rowdier experience and don’t mind being surrounded by people who just graduated from Oberlin and now spend every weekend drinking their way through the Lower East Side, this place is a good choice." - bryan kim, sonal shah
