"Move over teeny martini’s—there’s a new undersized cocktail in town. At Bar Snack, a relaxed cocktail bar in the East Village, you can enjoy a seasonal snaquiri (or a full-sized daiquiri), which is currently a refreshing spiced clementine concoction. The cocktails are well-mixed and cap out at $18, there’s a glossy little bar with high-backed stools, the soundtrack is permanently stuck on ’70s radio, and this spot is open all week. We’re guessing it might get crowded on weekends, so come by after work sometime, and grab an $11 hot dog loaded with pickles and caramelized onions while you’re at it." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
"Helmed by Iain Townsend Griffiths and Oliver Cleary (owner of Brooklyn’s Minnows Bar), Bar Snack is serving up elevated takes on classic drinks. With “snack” in the name, expect a beverage program with food-inspired drinks. The dirty martini is seasoned with roasted chicken; the Negroni is modeled after a salad, flavored with nectarine and basil; and the Old Fashioned meets Ben and Jerry’s ice cream classic “Phish Food” with marshmallow fluff syrup. The funky and dimly lit wood-paneled space is completed with a fully disco ball-tiled bathroom. It’s an unpretentious spot to bring a group of friends." - Emma Orlow
"Everyone’s having a good time at Bar Snack. Maybe it’s the Twisted Tea coolers, or the snack-sized daiquiris, or the overall yacht rock vibe. Whatever the case, the mood is prime here—not quiet, but not so loud that you can’t hear what your friends or date have to say." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"A laid-back hangout in the East Village, Bar Snack offers childhood nostalgia with its Toastie & Cup-O-Soup and spicy peanut butter noodles." - Robert Simonson
"In the East Village, Bar Snack feels like a cozy house party with ’70s music, a wood-paneled counter hugging the central bar, and Twisted Tea coolers (don’t knock ‘em until you try them). It’s a great little spot for a weeknight cocktail, or the first drink of your weekend night. And for all you non-martini drinkers who feel like they’re missing out on the tiny ’tini trend, there’s a seasonal, snack-sized snaquerie—we loved one with clementines and spices. The drinks are stiff and all under $18, and you can pair them with a few substantial snacks, like a $10 hot dog loaded with onion jam, hot pickle, and chips. photo credit: Eric Medsker photo credit: Eric Medsker" - Will Hartman
