"One of the Financial District’s liveliest cocktail bars, with live jazz and Cuban drinks, closed this week after more than a three-year run." - Luke Fortney

"Blacktail is the best bar for a date in FiDi, and while that’s kind of like being the least homesick kid at sleepaway camp, this Cuban-themed cocktail bar above Pier A Harbor House would actually be a great option no matter where it was located. It’s from the people behind The Dead Rabbit, and the cocktails (there are 40 on the menu) are similarly excellent. Order at the long bar or one of the many tables in the big, dark space, which has hanging plants and a stained glass skylight, and try some of the very good bar snacks as well. There isn’t much standing room, and the space is full most nights, so you should definitely make a reservation." - Matt Tervooren

Incredible drinks, thoughtfully curated, impeccably executed. Great atmosphere, love the drink menu design! Also very reasonably priced for the quality of these cocktails. I got the banana daiquiri (best I’ve ever had) and the special “dirty” daiquiri (with olive juice and dark rum!!) which was actually so delicious. You’ll feel like you’re transported to another time and place! Hurry up and go!

To say I missed BlackTail is an understatement! So excited that they are back and love the new space! As always the cocktails are delicious and the service is top notch! I celebrated my birthday there and had mid week happy hour drinks there and both were exceptional. I would say that the space gets a little busy later in the night but it's totally with a little wait for the best cocktails! The food menu is light so I would recommend grabbing a bite beforehand! Highly recommend and will be back

Amazing cocktail bar, drinks were on point and Will/Monica have.been fantastic hosts. I can't recommend this hidden gem of a speakeasy more. Definitely come if you're nostalgic for the original bar or just want a great place to have a drink.

This place is incredible - best cocktails in the city and delicious Cuban Sandwich. They did an amazing job of making this pop up feel like the old Blacktail and it’s so fun to see so many members of the old team back together. The space is fairly small and intimate so I’d get there early! I’ll be back for Banana Daiquiris often.

Was so stoked to see this place re-open. Went two weeks ago and it was great. Small line to get in but we got there pretty early and had a drink at Back Bar before - really solid. Fun little "inflation proof" $12 cocktail menu too. Recommend the Mojito - as classic a cuban mojito as you can get in NYC - at least in my experience! And their "Rum and Coke" with a blend of amaros for the coke is really special. Will be back soon - before word gets out and it's too tough to get a res.

Blacktail for a while was one of my favorite bars and experiences in the city so was beyond excited to see them back doing their thing! Everything was so great! Must visit, must experience it while you can!

Had the best whiskey sour in my life here!! My personal favorite is the Tough Cookies - Bourbon, Port Wine, Lime Juice and Guava. Never thought it's possible to make guava shine so much in a drink without sacrificing the multiple layers of tastes of other ingredients. Just love it sooo much. My first round ordered the Dazzle Razzle - it has so numerous layers on your tongue. You can feel the difference ingredients one by one, including green apple, kiwi, you name it. Pina Colada is also impressive - while it is so common everywhere to see such a classic sweet drink, the Blacktail version is truly an above average level. It has more coconut in it, which gives the drink a note of the roasted coconut flakes. It's very charming. The service is also quite good! We actually arrived ~45 minutes earlier than our reservation (dinner finished quicker than expected) but we were accommodated immediately. Really appreciate it.

From the moment you enter Back Bar you are in vibes paradise. The interior is stunning & chic and the energy is the most welcoming & chill. Shoutout to Will, Liam, & Ash and their outstanding service. These three are master bartenders and will serve you up the best cocktail you've ever had from their carefully curated menu of specialty drinks. **Seriously, the best cocktails you will ever have** For anyone looking for a truly epic spot to bring your friends/family/partner--Back Bar is it!!!
