Split Eights

Popped in on a Sunday evening while visiting the city, was told this is a must see spot. The hospitality from Ayele and the rest of the staff was top tier. Fantastic drinks and great knowledgable conversation with the bar staff. Definitely a place you need to stop in.

I used to come here so often back when Tyler worked here and there was another kind lady. But as of recent, the staff here is absolutely terrible - particularly the lady with the curly hair. They’re terribly rude even though I had a reservation. (They were being really nice to the other parties seated next to us which makes me wonder why they were treating us differently). There were a few more things that were just bizarre but want to save myself the time here. I was a regular here (back when the staff was comprised of different people, assume they left) but will be sure to NEVER come back and relay the same to friends and others.

The hostess at this bar was all over the place, seemed like she didn’t know which planet she was on just super disorganized. The waitress with the curly hair was incredibly rude, we waited over 40mins for our drinks and ended up leaving before we could even get our drinks even though the bar wasn’t very busy. The waitress rudely argued that we “didn’t wait that long” but my group and I have never had such a bad experience at any NYC bar to leave a bad review. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Came here for a night out with a coworker and the environment was very cozy and it was easy to have a good conversation. The bartender was great and made each drink perfect! This place is definitely in my rotation for nice places to grab a good drink after a long day of work! Definitely check them out!

Really enjoyed this local bar! They’ve got tasty drinks and quick service from kind bartenders. Love all the dark alcohol forward drinks, so many bars neglect to give these the attention they deserve. Look for the googly eyes hidden around the bar!

I agree with the previous reviewers who said about poor service and rude staff even when there was a reservation. I used to go there all the time but for the year of 2025 they went down in quality drastically in terms of the service and the way they treat their customers. Waiters and the manager treat customers like they are nothing, often talking really rude and make you feel like you owe them $5000 that you borrowed from them and never returned. If you don’t want to feel humiliated please, please DO NOT go there, this spot is below one zero rating. Do not recommend to anyone.

I hate to leave bad reviews, I never do because i like to support business - unfortunately this experience needs to be highlighted. Went in on a Sunday and there was not many customers. Was seated and ordered drinks rather quickly. Proceeded to wait 40 minutes to get the drinks and never got them so I left. Was a disappointing experience.

Amazing quality drinks with exquisite flavors! I don’t remember the name of the raspberry drink but the butterscotch espresso martini was divine. On the pricey side but a cozy and intimate place to grab a quick drink.
