Bar Enzo

Such a lovely time! We were at the craft beer spot above them and the bartender at Bar Enzo was handing out postcards to “invite” people to the speakeasy. My girlfriend and I decided to swing by and it did not disappoint. The place is a vibe and the bartender (Carter?) actually created a lot of the cocktails on the menu. I ordered the Lambrusco (bc it’s summer and it’s the perfect wine) but after that I got a cocktail - I can’t remember its name but it involved immersion blending grapefruit sorbet into a gin based martini glass. SUCH a great summer cocktail! My girlfriend got the twist on the espresso martini and one other drink. We were both very impressed! Will be back.

I first visited Bar Enzo a week or two after it opened and instantly fell in love. After raving about it to many friends, I finally returned. It's a bit of a paradox: I want it to remain undiscovered, yet I certainly don't want it to close down! I noticed fake flowers outside the doorway, a new addition since it first opened, as I recall. Though they help guide you to the door, I found them tacky. You wait outside the door until someone opens it, which might not be sustainable if the place gets truly busy. After the door opens, you head upstairs to the second floor. The stairwell is lined with framed photos that visually tell a story of Italian-American hospitality, effectively introducing you to the brand's heritage. As soon as you enter the speakeasy, you're greeted by a beautiful interior; it's truly a vibe. The dim lighting against the brown wooden walls and a cream ceiling creates a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. There are both bar seats and larger seating areas toward the back. We ordered several drinks: the Enzo, La Bocca, Pino, and Pisolino (Non-Alcoholic). All the drinks were fantastic. The Pino was incredibly refreshing, perfect for the hot weather. La Bocca tasted like Coke syrup but had other intriguing, complex flavors. The Enzo, despite being described as medium-bodied, felt full to me and had a lush taste. Even the Pisolino, the non-alcoholic option, was delicious. We didn't mind that it cost the same as regular cocktails because it genuinely tasted like a complex, well-crafted drink. The service has been consistently great on both my visits, and I sincerely hope they maintain that high standard. You're given postcards with your bill, and if you collect all eight, you get something special (if I remember correctly!). I thought this was a charming and clever idea. The bathroom, though not perfectly pristine, was still clean, even at nearly closing time. I was particularly impressed that they offered green hand towels instead of paper towels. This detail speaks to sustainability, adds a home-like vibe, and the color beautifully complements the brand. When you leave and descend the stairs, a "Ciao!" sign greets you when you look up. While a cute touch, it needs cleaning as it was unfortunately filled with dead insects. I'll absolutely return and introduce my friends to this incredible bar, and I'll be actively working to collect all eight postcards.

Lovely place with lots of hearts going into it and very friendly bartenders. Drinks are all sophisticated and definitely strong. This is our second time here and had a great time!

Good cocktails, interesting menu and great service. The atmosphere is cosy but seating arrangement was a bit odd for a large group. They have a fun challenge of collecting a postcard on every visit and at the end of 8 postcards there are free drinks!!

Wonderful experience at bar Enzo (located in same building as greats of craft). We stumbled upon this cocktail bar and were pleasantly surprised! Great cocktails - definitely recommend etna (mezcal like gin based drink) and amuni (espresso martini with a twist). Can’t wait to return!

Bar Enzo in Long Island City is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming and vibrant without being overwhelming. The drinks are fantastic—creative, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The bartenders know what they’re doing, and it shows in every cocktail. The vibe is just right: stylish but unpretentious, with a mix of locals and visitors that makes it feel both comfortable and exciting. Whether you’re there for a casual night out or to kick off an evening with friends, it delivers an awesome experience all around. Highly recommend Bar Enzo if you’re in LIC and want great drinks, a good crowd, and a place that leaves you already planning your next visit.

If you're looking for something different, with amazing cocktails and a quiet, private atmosphere, this is the perfect spot. A hidden gem for those who appreciate quality and a relaxed vibe.

I’ve come to Bar Enzo twice and both times felt special. The cocktails are delicious and each one somehow feels more unique than the last. On top of all of this, the staff are knowledgeable and incredibly kind. I’ll absolutely keep bringing my friends here until it becomes one of our regular spots. Honorable mentions: lighting, playlist, trained by the same folks as attaboy

A welcome addition to LIC, serving up craft cocktails in an intimate and carefully curated space. Just beyond the windows covered with slatted blinds, you can peer over the Greats of Craft. Knowledgeable and personable bartenders. Chose to sit at the bar both times I visited and have had an enjoyable conversation and appropriately attentive service both times.

Came back for their soft opening and they clearly care about fostering a community. The bar featured platters of fresh figs from the Enzo family garden, and tasty cannolis. We already have plans to bring all of our visiting friends here!

Cute speakeasy in the area! We had to ring the bell and wait to be let in. We got in without resys on a Saturday night. The inside is super cute with a bunch of vintage photos of the owner's life in Italy. I got their version of an espresso martini - the amuni (I did ask for less dulce de leche). It was delicious!
