Creative cocktails with unique presentations in an intimate space


























"Every house cocktail at this speakeasy (under Patisserie Chanson) has some sort of gimmick or theme. For example, the Coconino Rain made with spiced rum and prickly pear is suspended from the ceiling like a house plant, and we genuinely can’t decide if that’s cool or the most ridiculous thing ever. The decor and limited food options (salmon crudo and beef sliders, e.g.) aren’t as interesting as the drinks. There are a few small tables with plush round seats and a long bar with some high chairs for two. We’ve dubbed those “loveseat bar stools.”" - hillary reinsberg, neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang
"Cocktails available for pick-up and delivery from 5pm to 10pm Wednesday through Saturday. To place an order, head to their website." - nikko duren
"Every house cocktail at this speakeasy (under Patisserie Chanson on 23rd) has some sort of gimmick or theme. One tastes like a refreshing alcoholic iced tea and arrives in a golden genie lamp with smoke coming out of it. Another—made with spiced rum and prickly pear—is suspended from the ceiling like a house plant. We genuinely can’t decide if that’s cool or the most ridiculous thing ever. The decor and limited food options (salmon crudo and beef sliders, e.g.) aren’t quite as interesting as the drinks. There are a few small tables with plush round seats and a long bar with some high chairs for two. We’ve dubbed those “loveseat bar stools.”" - Kenny Yang
"This underground cocktail haven has an a la carte offering — but it’s much more fun to reserve the five-course tasting menu ($85), which includes an amuse bouche, two cocktails, one food item, and one dessert. Guests can choose their cocktails from two menus, Le Jardin and Floriography. For a shōchū-based cocktail, try the Yushoku Mae (“perfect before dinner”) from head mixologist Jeremy Le Blance. The cocktail uses a sweet potato shōchū (Kuro Kirishima), with a slightly spiced kümmel that balances the shōchū’s floral profile." - Vox Creative

"In the Flatiron District I found Thyme Bar, a new low-waste cocktail bar offering a prix-fixe outdoor dining menu through September 18 that includes an appetizer, a food item, two cocktails, and dessert for $45, available Thursday through Saturday." - Luke Fortney
