Creative craft cocktails with globally inspired flavors and snacks























"If you want something a little fancier after Esperanto, try Mace. It’s a little bar a few doors down where they take their drinks very seriously. The cocktails here have ingredients like rooibos, masala, and wasabi salt - and this should provide topics for conversation if you’re on a first date and have already discussed such things as siblings, college majors, and your dreams from the previous night. This bar also isn’t as pretentious as it sounds, and, most importantly, it’ll take you less than thirty seconds to get here from Esperanto." - bryan kim
"Walk a few steps down Avenue C and you’ll arrive at Mace, which has the benefit of being a new-ish East Village cocktail bar your date probably hasn’t already been to 27 times." - katherine lewin
"A New York bar that was recognized on the list and additionally received the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu award." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"In the East Village, cocktail bar Mace will host the first stop of Two Schmucks' cross-country pop-up tour this Thursday." - Luke Fortney
"This cocktail bar was an instant classic (and often finds it self on the World’s 50 Best list) when it opened in 2015, and after recently moving to new digs it’s still serving up expertly made cocktails and small bites in a sleeker, larger space. Snacks from Nick Sorrentino include pork and ricotta meatball sliders, smoked duck wings, and that tapas favorite, patatas bravas. Ingredient-driven drinks by bar master and co-owner (with Greg Boehm) Nicolas de Soto include surprising combinations, like the Parsley v.2 made with Amburana cachaça, banana liqueur, banana cordial, and parsley and the Pandan v.4, a combination of coconut-infused bourbon, pandan whey syrup, and sriracha bitters." - Vox Creative
