Bar Colette

"It’s easy to sit at one of the blush upholstered bar stools inside this jewel box room and forget you’re in the West Village shopping center. Bar Colette is a luxe spot, with well-dressed staff, studied service, and pretty bites of nigiri and sashimi (it’s the same team as neighboring Namo). The bartenders use lab equipment to make technically precise drinks, but they’re not pretentious about it—which means drinks like the Eau de Ranch, a silky combo of roasted coconut-washed tequila, banana water, verjus, and oolong tea." - kevin gray

"A new bar recognized in the Best New Bar category, led by bar director Ruben Rolon, who has experience from Michelin-starred establishments in Miami." - Courtney E. Smith

"The West Village gets a hot bar from the owner of nearby Namo. This European-inspired spot has some cocktails with unlikely sources of inspiration. Try the Beets Me, inspired by a beet salad with Champagne vinaigrette, or the Eau De Ranch, which takes a Ranch Water and utilizes coconut washed tequila, kiwi, and soda." - Courtney E. Smith

"Step away from the traditional espresso martini and try the Avellaneda at this cozy, intimate bar in the West Village. Instead of tequila, it’s got Bolivian brandy with tamarind, spiced orange, expresso, and tonic." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
