Obvio Cocktail Bar Nomad

I love how aesthetic it was and the overall vibes! It has a timeless and classy style from the staff to the layout. It’s like transporting to the 70’s or 80’s mid century modern glam. The food was amazing. I got the burger, fries, and guacamole (avocado smash) and I was not disappointed by any item. The flavor was perfect and the quality was excellent. I want to go back just for the burger. Otherwise the staff was extremely kind and attentive. I will be back again and I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a fun night with a lounge vibe or if they want to celebrate in style. Gratuity is automatically added to your tab and there is no flash photography allowed inside.

Great spot if you’re looking for a cute girls’ night out / date spot! The design of the interior is immaculate; unique sculpted bar, gorgeous light orbs at every table, and overall very photogenic. The food was okay, but a bit overpriced for the quality. I think if you’re coming here, it’s more for the ambience, vibe, and photo ops. Service was lovely! Our server was very professional from the very start, and continued to attend to us even as the night got more and more busy. Would definitely come back for the drinks and photos, but would hold off on the food next time!

Located in Midtown, this new bar has been blowing up on social media for it's fun giraffe theme and elevated cocktail/lounge experience. Service here is very friendly and kind. I got a couple of glasses of wine here and thought that it was pretty good. We also ordered their charred octopus and fries and both were so delicious. I'm typically not a fries person, but I thought that the ones here (plus their dipping sauce) was SO good. Would definitely come back to try their cocktails!

Very much a date night or girl night spot - drinks are strong but good, and the food is immaculate. Loves the crab donut and the burger - very unique and memorable flavors. Service is attentive and helpful as well. Would come back!

We had a great evening at Obvio! The food was excellent - our favorites were the chicken skewers with peanut sauce (a little spicy but so tasty), and the tuna tartare in a crispy taco shell. Panna cotta was quite unique and absolutely delicious. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely, though the waiter costumes felt a little unsettling to me. Portions are very small - we spent $130 each for three starters, one main, and one dessert to share. Definitely worth it!

Have you ever been to a bar and thought “man, this place is so cool, but I wish it was giraffe themed”? Ya me neither until I went to Obvio. Honestly, the giraffe theme was awesome and made for such a great topic of conversation later. My friends and I went on a Saturday night at like 9pm and we were able to get in without a reservation. They were kind enough to let us stay at a table since there were 5 of us until they needed the table for their actual reservations, but we were easily able to find a spot at the bar otherwise. We had a little confusion with it since it wasn’t clearly communicated to us up front, but it ended up being okay. Make sure you make a reservation and it’ll make everything easier. As the night went on, it became packed! Made us feel better about having to give up our table. I got myself a Nolo Spritz which is a mocktail. It was pretty good, very citrusy which I love. Watching the bartenders make the drinks was so cool because it felt like they were doing science experiments right in front of me, especially because they are all wearing lab coats. Related to the giraffe theme, I guess? I thought the drinks were a little expensive for my Nashville expectations, but probably not overly expensive for NYC prices. The bathrooms are a little weird and kind of trippy because they are all covered with mirrors. It is NYC so I wouldn’t bank on finding parking nearby and it’s probably better to just uber.

Beautiful decoration and ambience. It’s a great date spot. The drinks were really good. The food could be better everything we ordered had spice,but overall it’s a must try.

celebrated one of my best friends birthday dinner here! the menu was small, so we ordered pretty much everything on the menu for 7 people. their calamari was DELICIOUS, wagyu was as well! unfortunately for a big group, you’d have to order 2-3x of each because some of the tapas only come with 2-3 pieces. loved the ambience and the host, servers were insanely kind and brought the energy ❤️! we had a great time!
