NBetween

What a wonderful find! NBetween is located in Chelsea Market via the side entrance. I initially saw photos online and wasn't convinced this was a spot for date night. Still, I went. When I got inside, my mind changed quickly. Here's my review in order of importance: Would I go back? Yes! And I can't wait. I want to go back for date night, to try more of the food and drinks on the menu, and I think this place would also be amazing for a girls nights. The Vibe Oh the vibe. The vibe was incredible. Beautiful dim lighting, surrounded by vinyls, close seating at the bar for date night, the DJ spinning the BEST tunes in the corner. I loved it. No one was dancing, but I feel like if you needed to bust a quick move you could. Service The bartender quickly came over and provided us with menus. We engaged him in conversation about the different tequilas and gins they offered. Both bartenders were very attentive throughout the evening. Food & Drinks We ordered the hamburger and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. The bartender made and INCREDIBLE Gin and Tonic with a twist of lemon and the Cafe Cafe was quite good. Sometimes I'm hesitant to try different versions of espresso martini's but this was delicious. Arrival Security was kind and let us know to inform the hostess that we had a reservation. We entered and informed the hostess who said we were early and the table we would sit at was closing the bill. No problem for us! We were willing to wait. One of the servers also came over and offered to hang our coats up which was needed! Seating While we waited for a table, the hostess informed us that we could sit at the bar for dinner as two seats opened up. We decided to do that. Please note: Most of the seating does not have back support, so make sure you are keeping those abs tight.

NBetween is a beautiful low key bar nestled inside the Chelsea Market in Manhattan. The bar has that Japanese record parlor vibe to it. I'm positive this place is going to become a hot spot in the year to come. Sheldon was bartender guide on this journey through a small but diverse menu. There were a few drinks that caught my eye but I had to narrow it down. Here's what I had: Prolonged Eye Contact- God dammit this is delicious. Calpico and melon are the two biggest flavors but they come together in such an amazing way. The cotton candy grape and the melon 🍈 work so well together. Its a seasonal drink but it should be a staple. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Morning Glory - Shochu, toki whiskey, cocoa puffs, sesame and topped with a Hokkaido milk cream. This taste like it has coffee in it but it doesn't. The presentation is that of a Irish coffee. This isn't my style of drink but this would be wonderful for someone else. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Viewer Discretion Advised - What stood out for me when I ordered this drink was the passionfruit and papaya. These are two fruits with similar origins but different taste. The drink looks like a traditional sour but drinks like something with more texture and substance. This is a great drink that is complex with adding amaro or sherry. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Our group had a great experience at N Between! Very cool space with mood lighting and vinyls all over. Great service throughout. All of the cocktails were very well balanced and unique, Japanese inspired flavors. The food was terrific. Reasonable prices for NYC. I would definitely go back

Came here solo for happy hour after gallery hopping in Chelsea. The cocktail I ordered was absolutely delicious! Forgot the name of it but it had red bean, barley tea, strawberry and vodka based. I could actually smell and taste all of the flavors. I would not order the nanbam chicken again. 4.5 stars. Dark neon vibes and well curated retro-futuristic decor. I had a good time looking around and taking in the atmosphere - the walls even say "eat, drink, laugh, happiness." :)

Stopped by this gem for the first time today. My friends and I were looking for a spot in the neighborhood to grab a quick drink after brunch, and this place popped up. If you enter from the street, the entrance is pretty easy to miss, but the interior is such a vibe. It reminds me of those late-night casual bars in Japan and Hong Kong. I love the records they have everywhere. The menu has some really unique drink options, and I love the Asian-inspired flavors in them. The drinks were delicious and definitely strong. The staff is also super friendly, from the host to our server, Tirzah, who is such a vibe! She’s super sweet, attentive, and has such a fun personality. I would definitely visit here again the next time I’m in the area and try their other menu items, cause their food looked good too. And hopefully Tirzah will be there.

Nice low-key bar, best for parties of 2-4 (small space) who appreciate a space to have some conversation over creative cocktails. Shout out to DJ Linda Tran for the vibes! Also shout out to the bartender who was very friendly, took pride in his work, and showed appreciation to the customers with small complementary shots. My only complaints are the following: the music is a touch too loud for the space and the hostess is a stickler for time and makes you feel like you’ve overstayed your welcome (even though you’ve made a reservation and are spending money).

Cool Japanese bar/restaurant! I think the vibes are great here and the have a really cool interior. The food however was just very normal and a bit overpriced for my taste/the portion sizing. I think this would be a great place for drinks and maybe 1-2 small apps. But the pricing is still a bit steep for even beer - would recommend this place if you’ve enjoy cool cocktails and a darker atmosphere/vibey music.

Drinks are great but way too expensive. Would make more sense at $15-17 especially if not served in real glass cups Cool space and good music Chairs and tables are a bit uneven and rickety
