"On the Lower East Side, Pardon Me is a French cocktail bar where you can drink a “Rosemary’s Baby” with gin and mezcal. Please excuse us for wanting two." - will hartman
The space is beautiful and the atmosphere is casual yet upscale? Drinks are delicious and creative. Even the truffle fries were surprisingly amazing! Service was great. You can definitely tell this place was thoughtfully curated. Absolutely love this place, will definitely be coming back.

4/5, but leaning towards a 4.5+
Food is surprisingly good. I didn’t expect it as the spot definitely gives off cocktail lounge vibes. The dinner is legit meals, good portioned and tasty.
Cocktails are definitely their forte, and the vibe / decor of the space makes for just a nice backdrop for a night out. Somewhat pricey but not crazy given the quality.
Location is also great, if you’re feeling adventurous and wanting to hop between spots.

I recently dined at Pardon Me and had the most incredible steak. Cooked perfectly to medium-rare, it was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The seasoning and the sear was just right. If you're a steak lover, Pardon Me is a must visit. Highly recommend!!!!

Felipe was an amazing bartender! The drinks were excellent, crafted perfectly and full of flavor, but honestly, the conversation was even better. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar if he’s working!

Been a few times, but only had drinks. Always a good vibe‚ hosts are attentive and kind. Quality cocktails and if the drink isn't on point or not was expected they'll simply make something else—always the right approach in a top end bar. A more chill atmosphere than many nearby LES bars.

Pardon Me is an awesome new spot! The cocktails are top-notch, and the vibe is perfect for a night out. The owner, who was the general manager at Lola Taverna and Prince, has done an amazing job with this place. Great drinks, friendly staff, and a cool atmosphere—definitely worth a visit!

Best bar in the LES. I'm hesitant about leaving a good review because I don't want everyone to find out about this hidden gem, but I will always give flowers when they're due. Shoutout Evan he's the best. The drinks are amazing and the food is on par with any establishment in the entire city. 10/10 must go.
