An American-style speakeasy with fantastic cocktails, I highly recommend El Koktel to anyone.
They have a colorful and extremely interesting menu that seems to rotate on a regular basis. On our visit, it was TV show themed, so you could order a cocktail named "Sex and the City" -- grey goose vodka, cointreau, white chocolate, white wine, or a "Pokemon" -- japanese whiskey, st germaine (elderflower liquor), shiso leaf.
They also have a "Greatest Hits" section of the bar menu where bestsellers are listed. Also offered are bespoke cocktails.
All the cocktails were very tasty and we guzzled them down without any reserve. We ordered 2-4 every evening and did not have to wait very long from time of ordering to time of service (a pet peeve of mine for speakeasies, since craft cocktails DO take time to make).
The space can get tight especially on weekend evenings, so get there early or come on weeknights.
Service was welcoming.
