    Review for cocktails only
    I'm surprised the star count is so low, this is a great cocktail joint in the style of JBird, Guthrie Inn, even the former Milk & Honey. We sat at the bar, and had a number of delicious cocktails. The barkeeps really know their stuff, both in how to make the drinks, and the ingredients themselves. Got a very good explanation of what falernum is. If you like classic cocktails, 67 Orange St. is destination worthy.
    Sorry I don't have much more to say - what else is there to say? The drinks were terrific, and I have nothing negative to add.

    Best drinks in NYC.  The bar tenders are truly passionate about the art of creating a great drink.  I love this place!

    Excellent spot for a date, or just a few drinks....they have a menu of food, which I have not tried but looks good.  Their drink menu is excellent and the mixologists also prepare non alcoholic drinks w some pretty unique flavors.  Would definitely go back.  Also, can get pretty packed, its a small, cozy spot so don't go too late or you will have to wait outside.

    It's a good thing I don't live in New York, because I would have a definite problem.

    67 Orange was suggested to me by a friend who had recently moved to NYC from our hometown of Minneapolis. I was there visiting for a week and was invited out to her girls' night.

    I can't give an accurate review of the food other than the parmesan fries which were AMAZING. I could probably have eaten 3 plates. I would love to try their chicken and red velvet waffles if I ever go back--a combo I to this day have never tried.

    As for their drinks, the bartenders at 67 Orange have impeccable taste. As "mixologists," their drinks may be pricey, but worth every drop. I especially liked the Moscow Mule--vodka, ginger beer and lime.

    The environment was very speakeasy-like--dark lighting, curtains, bartenders in vintage-style clothing (suspenders, button down shirts and the like). Definitely my kind of vibe. If I ever have the chance to visit the Harlem neighborhood of NYC again, I will definitely be making a stop by 67 Orange. Thumbs up!!

    I like this place when it isnt packed.  Well mixed cocktails, not your ordinary bar food menu. Try the brussel sprouts.  The music could be a little more consistent, rather than someone just playing a random ipod playlist.  For a venue with an attempt to create character...why stop at the music?  I like that they finally added a happy hour. Good move.

    I'm pretty sure half the reason I renewed my lease is because I can see 67 Orange from my apartment. This is hands down my favorite bar in the area. It is intimate and fresh, the perfect space for post-work cocktails. The place is dimly lit and the windows are covered with red velvet curtains, so if you aren't looking for the 67 outside the door, you could miss it. The actual menus are found in books I want to read. They have art from local artists on the wall and the place is pristine.

    67 Orange draws a diverse crowd, but somehow the patrons and staff are always ridiculously attractive.

    Everything I have ever ordered here is mouth-wateringly delicious.
    I will not lie, I sometimes have dreams about their lobster mac and cheese. I keep telling myself I'm going to try the chicken & red velvet waffles, but I always go back to the mac n cheese and the brussels sprouts. The spicy popcorn isn't just spicy either...its like a flavor explosion!

    Same with cocktails--I forget which ones I tried before "The Hedonist" because it is THAT good. I promise they were all yummy--this one is just my favorite.
    I hear they are now doing a happy hour with $8 cocktails, but I haven't yet been during this time.

    Anyway, if you haven't been here yet, you should go. Tonight.

    I wish I could say this next bit really quietly and fast, like a drug commercial listing the side effects, because you should still go. It gets really crowded on weekends. Unless you get there early and have a nice place upstairs, its probably not worth the price of the drinks, because they are expensive! I don't like being downstairs either--half the fun is seeing the amazing bartenders at work, and it lacks the decor of upstairs.

    Had another chance to swing by over the weekend to have the artichoke fries since we missed out on it last time.

    The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Marcio taught us the history of bitters (never knew exactly what they were prior), while Karl gave tourist an introduction to Manhattan's and the keys to their distinct flavors.

    In the evening, the decor becomes very dim and intimate.  

    This place has quickly become a favorite, and a must for Mixology style drinks.  Definitely worth a trip if you are not in the neighborhood.

    Cheers

    Before I wrote a review for this bar, I wanted to visit different times on different nights. As are a lot of cocktail places in NYC, your experience will completely change based on the crowd and people working at the bar.

    Some tips:
    - On a Saturday or Sunday night, unless you're willing to tolerate a crowded bar and slower service don't go here.
    - On a week night, this is the perfect place for pre-dinner drinks or a post-dinner night cap. The staff is much more attentive.
    - There is a large table with lots of seating downstairs. This is really the only space that's appropriate for a large group in the entire bar. Try to get it if you can.
    - My favorite drinks are the Aviation (gin based) and Whiskey Bang (whiskey based)

    If you choose the right time to go here, the experience can be really pleasant!

    2 reviews in 1. 3 stars go to my first experience and their awesome mixologists!

    I came here a few years ago when they first opened and I loved their specialty cocktails and their spicy popcorn that adorned the wooden tables. I was however concerned by the limited space, almost sure that not more than 5 people could fit in at once.

    I came back recently for the 2nd Annual Frederick Douglass Boulevard: Food and Drink Blvd where a number of participating restaurants offer specials and portions of the proceeds are donated to the Food Bank of NY. I figured there would be chaos but I never imagined waiting over 20 minutes for french fries and then being brushed off by the waitress telling us to check with the bartender who was making 10 different drinks. I will blame it on the overwhelming crowd and hope that my next visit will be more pleasant then the last. Hopefully we will finally e able to feast on those artichoke fries.

    The food is great, and so is the service.  I strongly suggest making a reservation and keeping your party at 3 or less.  The space is extremely small and even if you have a table you are going to be packed in.  The mac is delicious--full of tender bits of shrimp and lobster or generous sprinklings of wild mushrooms.  The elote popcorn is unique and addictive as are the fried artichokes.  I love this place for its history and great drinks, food and service.

    Did you know the original 67 orange was in the five points?  I'm THAT person giving history lessons while everyone else is trying to drink and be merry.
    Anyhow. ...
    This place was really really nice and chill!  Its just a little hole in the wall (with a downstairs too) so kinda easy to miss.
    Yes the drinks are pricey ($12 & up) but they are well crafted and balanced. I had Cleopatras lust (yea for marcois' drink!)  I also saw they had a drink on the menu with campari, but not what I had seen online. The bartender knew it was probably a negroni I was thinking of and made me one with the biggest ice cube I've ever seen. My friend had a jalapenoy tequila drink that i liked even better.
    The crowd was a great mix of all different genders, ethnicities etc and the music they played was kind of l ok loungey chillish r&b (I think I heard Lisa shaw being played)
    A great little spot. My only regret is that I had already eaten so I couldn't try their chicken and red velvet waffles!  Hope to return next time I'm in town!

    Nothing like a dark, speakeasy right in the neighborhood. Great for a chill date for drinks and good convo. Or if you want to just drop in an explore the unique cocktail options, also the place to go. Love this place and they also have good music (and a great clientele)!

    I'm giving it 1.5 stars, but I guess I'll be nice and round up.

    My friends and I (party of 6) waited damn near an hour for one bowl of punch to show up. I understand that it was a busy Saturday night, but ONE HOUR?!?!?!

    It was a cute space, but I don't feel the need to ever go back. Oh, and the stools at the bar downstairs are broken. Sit at your own risk!

    A small speakeasy cocktail lounge, classy and dimly lit, with a table to accommodate groups downstairs (and seating that's far too low in relationship to the table). The bartender knows his stuff and clearly loves to innovate new drinks. He's also an excellent DJ!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my "Manhattan After Dark", but I did not enjoy its price - $15 for one. Expect to shell out some serious cash if you plan to sample 67's impressive menu. Thankfully, select cocktails are roughly half off during Happy Hour.

    First, let me preface this by saying, I've been here many times. Each time food was exceptional and the service was ok.  

    I went again back in late Feb. I didn't have any clue it was Harlem Rest. Week until I arrived. My friend and I order some drinks and appetizers until 2 others friends joined us 20 minutes later. The appetizers took a little bit longer than I expected, but no biggie. Then we all ordered our entrées. Two of us ordered salmon. The other two ordered the seafood mac &cheese.  Our plates slowly came out, 1 every 10 minutes.

    The last plate (Mac & Cheese) took almost 40 minutes to arrive. It came several minutes after another table's order of mac&cheese although they ordered after us. Once it did arrive, several of the obvious ingredients were missing including bread crumbs. It greatly resembled box mac & cheese and the texture was horrible.

    When we inquired with the server, she explained the kitchen was behind due to Harlem Week and that they had also run out of bread crumbs.We then asked to have the dish sent back to the kitchen and removed from the bill.  After this request, the owner made his over to apologize. Like the server, he explained the kitchen was behind due to Harlem Week. He offered to have the kitchen make another plate WITH bread crumbs and the other missing ingredients. We were surprised considering the server declared there weren't any more. My friend declined his offer. she was a bit upset her food took so long, and it wasn't what she ordered. She didn't want to have to wait any longer for another dish.

    Why am I giving 67 two stars today?
    As aformentioned, I have eaten here many times and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Nonetheless, there are many aspects of a restaurant and its service that will peeve me.  Pet peeve #1: Lying to the customer.

    This is probably the worst thing a server can do. If you or the kitchen screwed up... own up to it. Please do not tell me one thing, and then I find out the next. If the kitchen has done a horrible job, offer me second plate as compensation. The owner was very quick to offer another plate. I do not blame the owner in this scenrio. I'm just rather disappointed in the service.  Please hire better servers.

    Takes a little for the Bartender to warm up but it really doesn't matter because he executes on the drink making.

    Was in there on Saturday night around 2am, girl at the Bar had requested Tupac and he was playing the jams. Being from the West Coast I definitely appreciated that. He loves music so he will probably have any song you request from old school Mary to some SWV.

    Drinks are pricey ($15) but nowadays seems to be the norm for a quality drink. Chill atmosphere, just my type of place.

    Living on the UWS and being a big cocktail fan, I was so happy to hear of this place. It  is a little smaller than I suspected, but still so great! Food was good and the cocktails up to par. Staff was very nice and attentive. Definitely will be returning.

    It's hard to believe that this speakeasy cocktail lounge exists in this neighborhood, though it is a beautiful homage to a different time. When the Harlem Renaissance made Harlem the place to be for artists and intellectuals before poverty and drugs took the neighborhood by storm. Come here to drink gorgeous and innovative cocktails made by period dressed bartenders who are every bit as cool as you might imagine was the case back when jazz was the day's pop and people still favored suspenders over belts as a matter of routine fashion.

    Like gin? There's a gold mine of concoctions mixed with the herbaceous spirit. Whiskey your poison? Plenty to choose from. Vodka (are you really that boring)? Have at it. Pretty much anything and everything can be mixed at this bar from sweet to savory, floral to spicy, they'll make it and make it very, very well. The champagne cocktails appear to be popular as well, though that's not my thing.

    The clientele is as eclectic as the drink menu with a lovely mix of races and ethnicities peppering the few tables and stools of this cosmopolitan bar. I've rubbed shoulders with TV personalities as often as I've been hustled by one of the remaining vestiges of the previous poverty of the neighborhood (quickly shooed away by the attentive bartender who did so with aplomb).

    What makes 67 Orange so special is not that it's a mixologist's wet dream, but because it seeks to reinvigorate the neighborhood's rich history rather than gentrifying that history out of existence. With Melba's near by this strategy of improving on the past rather than replacing it is alive and well on Frederick Douglass in South Harlem.

    I loved the vibe of this bar. Laid-back but classy!

    I ordered 67 Orange Street's take on the mojito, and it was unlike any other mojito I've had before. The unique taste caught me by surprise, but I ended up really enjoying it.

    Minus one star for the price ($13 for most cocktails), which seems a bit high for the neighborhood.

    Hands-down my favorite bar in the neighborhood.  I'll preface this by saying that I have yet to actually order food here, so the five stars goes to the service and drinks.

    The staff is extremely nice and professional.  Every time I've come here, the doorman has taken down my number and calls/texts when there is a table available.  Once, another party came after I had given the doorman my number, and they totally cursed the dude out after he said he'd have to take their number down (he was even polite and apologetic about it, too).  I have no idea what that was all about.  He doesn't have to do that, but he does.  We've always been served by the same person (Alicia?), and she is friendly and attentive.  The drinks are phenomenal.  I don't understand why people are complaining about the price; the drinks are meticulously curated with excellent ingredients and spirits.  A drink will set you back about $12-15 which is not bad considering the craftsmanship.  I've been to cocktail bars downtown, and cocktails like these are easily $15 and up at those places.  So far I've had a lot of their whiskey cocktails, their jalapeno tequila (delicious with the right amount of heat and kick) and a couple of their pisco cocktails.  What I've had so far has always been excellent.  These aren't the types of cocktails you guzzle down; they're to be savored and appreciated, and with that said, I've never been rushed to finish my drink or order food.

    The place is somewhat small and dark (but cozy), and can get packed on the weekends, but again, the doorman is very accommodating.    Love this place.

    Expensive, super small place. $13-$15 a drink in a tiny glass. Came here on a Saturday night and it was pretty packed. Stood in the nook in the corner then moved downstairs to the little stools next to the wall.  Not only was there a really loud group down there, there was a strong incense coming out of the wall. It gave me a headache instantly !

    Service is very par, waitress only came attentively when we had our check and she was waiting to collect the money, other times not really present. Very whatever, I dont think I will be coming back here.

    Love this bar. Please don't come here; it's rare to find a spot where the cocktails are excellent, the vibe is nice and you can still get a table.

    After Trattoria in the Bronx, we were hankering for drinks, so Chris drove us down to 67 Orange, near the station we would supposedly use to get home (see review for the Auction House for the reason we did not use that station).
    Walking into the place, its apparent that the concept is a small bar with select clientele, and a winning menu that changes at the whim of the tenders.  
    Upon checking in pops up an offer for truffled popcorn, which I stored for my next visit as I was uber full from dinner.
    That did not stop me from ordering 3 drinks.  Yes, yes 3.  Get over it, I can hold my liquor (depending on the night).
    Working my way through a libation made with bitters and rye whiskey, led to the second with gin and cucumbers, and I ended with the beautiful hibiscus flower in champagne.  What a pleasure!
    I really loved it, and want to go.  Is it Sunday? I have work tomorrow? Dammit.  
    Maybe Wednesday.  It's my birthday after all.

    So, the drinks here are $13.  Why am I saying that like it's a problem? Because this bar is so far from Downtown!  I would think $11 would be sufficient for this neighborhood.  Their rent is already markedly lower than downtown establishments' rent, so they can spare the $2/cocktail to keep some loyalty to the neighborhood.

    I checked in on Yelp, which means I earned a free popcorn, but I had just eaten so I did not cash in on the deal, but if you're going, CHECK IN ON YELP FOR FREE POPCORN!

    -I'm a fan of gin, and I thought I'd love the Eastern Flavor Trader because it has all the ingredients of which I'm very fond, but the grapefruit juice made it a bit too tart.

    -Cleopatra's Lust was delicious.  Prior to heading to San Francisco this summer, I had no idea that I like egg white in my cocktails, but now, I'm finding myself ordering it all the time.  The green chartreuse was a good addition, too.

    My friend and I had 2 other cocktails, and one was delicious and one was not for us, kind of like how the Eastern Flavor Trader could have been amazing (to me) but was too tart with the grapefruit juice.

    This such a cooooooooooool  spot............ I love it!

    Me and my friends met at this cute spot as our first spot in Harlem. The atmosphere was really really cool.

    The bartender was really cool and inviting.......... Our drinks were so good - the name of the drink was Hibiscus Champagne.............. ooooh talk about really good and strong............ it is a must try......

    This place gets 4 star based on atmosphere - great bartenders - great drinks....... I will be back.......

    Price: $14/drink
    Highlight: I like it

    My little speakeasy style nook. Seats about 20 people give or take - on wooden benches and barstools. What I applaud about this place is its consistency. You know it is going to be soft lighting, chill music, the beautiful waitress.... Alysia? Alicia? Aleecia? and the tall bartender with the suspenders... Garreth? Garret? Garth?.... so I may not have the names straight but I can vouch for the drinks, which you can choose from the old history book style menu, which has the old history book style writing. Before you knock back a drink or 6, or attempt to grip the book with hands greasy from the truffle fries, it is worth a read - chronicling the origin of the name "67 Orange", walking you through the era of the speakeasy leading you to visualize in your mind a people and a time that once inhabited the spot in which you were presently sitting.

    The drinks are amazing. On the menu they are sectioned into Rum, Gin, Vodka and I am not sure about the Beer. Here you could leave your first visit having a favourite drink but by your 3rd or 4th time it makes so much sense to play with different selections.

    On repeat for me are the Ben Down, Yacht Club and Hedonist.

    My favorite bar in New York, hands down. Maybe its because its the closest bar to my house thats not super shady and filled with creepers. Maybe its because the bartender is super friendly and now knows exactly what I like (either the ben down or the ben over). Either way, i love this spot!

    Its a tiny little place that definitely has a speakeasy vibe and i pray that it doesn't get too blown up with all the press its gotten recently and the fact that Marcus Samuellson (celebrity chef/owner of Red Rooster) is a regular there.

    The drinks are expensive so I cant go there too often (momma's on a budget!) BUT everytime i do go, its a great experience! everyone is friendly and welcoming and the drinks are deliciously crafted!

    I have tried the deviled eggs and the lobster mac and cheese and both are delicious! id like to try the other things on their menu, especially the red velvet chicken and waffles! yumm!

    I have been here 3 times now.

    My friend takes me everytime I go NYC to visit him. He lives right around the corner from it.

    When he took me there the first time I would have walked right past it if he hadnt stopped me and said that we were there. You would definitely miss it if you are just walking down the street. There is no sign out front, no real door. no windows.

    We stopped in front of a slit of a hole in the wall with a dark curtain drapping it, you pull the curtain aside and walk into this totally hip speak easy kind of bar. It makes me think of a time when there was the prohibition and people were going to special VIP members only kind of clubs.

    Its has all exposed brick wass which I love, a very small bar with some stools around it and some small little tables scattered around.

    I have always sat at the bar and the bar tenders are personal and it feels so intimiate like you are a bunch old friends hanging around. Everytime I go in there I feel like I want to be wearing Jessica Rabbits sparkly red dress, Elbow high gloves and asking some sexy guy for a light for my cigarette.

    It has a timeless feel and a very new cool hip feel, kind of like jazzy club or where you would imagine Erika Bahduh would hang out with Wylcef Jean, and Ray would be there too with Billie Holiday.

    The only downside is that the drinks reallly are expensive and you cant just go in there and have just one (I have tried) you just want to keep tasting other things they have to offer.

    Its borderline 5 stars, its just the prices the get me.

    Maybe once I am a millionare it wont matter, but for now this girls gotta budget!

    Cool speakeasy type place with velvet curtains over the front to hide the inside.

    Most cocktails look to be around $13 so don't expect this to be like your typical 3rd Ave. joint w/ $2 pints and happy hour specials.  If you order a beer at this place you've done something wrong.

    Drinks are strong and amazing.  I had this drinks with Barenjager and a whole bunch of other liquors and it tasted better than unicorn tears.

    I feel like this place is very much like walking into a Stanley Kubrik film.  Weird but awesome in a weird way.  

    Awesome drinks.  Truly amazing mixologist behind the bar making unique concoctions that will thrill and surprise.  

    Open late...Yay!  Seriously, Harlem.  Get it together.  This can't be the only place open past 2 in the neighborhood.  Hopefully 67 Orange will inspire others.

    I haven't gone here for food, but when I do, I'll be sure to update.  Deal?  Deal.

    As others have said, I'm absolutely thrilled that you don't have to travel downtown anymore to find  cool speakeasy type of bar.  

    I love how small and intimate this place is and the decor seems very fitting-sexy, yet relaxed and non-pretentious.

    It took some time for me and my friend to decide on our drink orders because of the vast amount of menu items. Luckily the bartender was able to help us narrow it down a bit.  

    I ordered some cocktail with rum, tripple sec, vodka, and fresh watermelon puree-it was nice and refreshing.  The friend ordered some gin cocktail with fresh raspberry puree-muddled and strained on the spot-nice!

    The bartender was friendly too and definitely had that old school/speakeasy/bartender in Harlem vibe, but the conversation got a little weird at one point. The music was on point too (great R&B playlist in the background).

    I really appreciate a nice handcrafted cocktail as I consider myself a mixologist in training and realize that making a drink can be a work of art.  While the cocktails were good, I can't quite give it that 4+ star rating yet-I can't put my finger on it, but something is missing.  I'll need to come back at a busier time and try the food to get a complete picture of this place.

    Wildly disappointing. From an owner that claims to want to compete with the cities best bars, this falls WELL short. I WANTED to like this place. I would love if there were more places uptown that truly compete with downtown. And for 13 dollars a drink, I expect nothing less. Unfortunately, the drinks are subpar for the price point. They couldn't even make a decent Manhattan, which is a massive fail for a bar aiming to be the premiere lounge uptown. Many of the drink specs are just.... off.

    While admittedly, this is still one of the better places for a cocktail uptown, that's not saying much, and mainly due to a near complete lack of competition. If Mr. Williams wants to compete with downtown, they best step up their game on better bartenders, menu development, ice program... pretty much all fronts really.

    Otherwise, lower your damn prices and stop pretending you're something your're not.

    67 Orange Street is a solid cocktail establishment, especially if you find yourself (cue Bobby Womack) up across 110th street.  You're not going to find lots of super innovative drinks D&C style, but if stocking green chartreuse is any kind of measure of a bar (it is), these guys definitely serve up some mean traditionals.  The Last Word was perfect.

    There are some really great food options as well.  The deviled eggs 3 ways are quite tasty, and if you want something more substantial go for the chicken and red-velvet-waffles.  Yes, you read that correctly.  They take red velvet cake batter and make waffles out of it.  Then throw on some apple butter, and top it off with chicken.  A nice variation on the traditional Harlem soul food.

    Alright, so I love the concept.  Let's start with that.  And I WANT to love the bar.  However, I really think the owner is banking on the fact that everyone in the neighborhood WANTS to love a new business like this.  Even though many reviewers complain about the high drink prices, I think offering up 'less than adequate' because you know you CAN (because options are slim) is an even worse crime.  

    So, we have been here twice. The first time they were missing many ingredients so we kept having to change our drink order, but our final choices were great.  The food had hits and misses. (ex. Deviled eggs=hit, onion petals= miss) The bartenders were nice.  The place was not at all crowded. (Mind you, that last one is in the minus category.  A dark, cozy bar should have customers!)

    It had all the characteristics of someplace we would definitely give another chance.  After reading about the owner and then seeing the bar in person, we thought he was probably still fine tuning everything.  We gave him (and the bar) the benefit of the doubt.

    Three months later, we returned.
    Some stools at the bar are broken already.  The curtains are tied open, letting in garish, mood-ruining light. Instead of being packed with laid back customers sipping hand crafted cocktails, there is only one other group of women in there.  They are singing and dancing to the uptempo playlist, requesting songs to be repeated, as the bartender obliges.  Let me say, I would love to party with these girls - friendly and fun, but this doesn't seem like the right vibe overall.

    Our drinks come. They don't have apricot simple syrup (can't think of a decent excuse why, with how 'simple' it is to create simple syrup) so he adds peach juice instead.  Actually....delicious.  My husband's? Not so much.  If you warn that it is 'very Rosemary-y!' we should be able to taste some rosemary!  We order calamari and the oyster poboy.  Poboy and accompanying popcorn (even burnt) was delicious.  Calamari was good and would have been great...had it been hot instead of on it's way to downright cold.

    Two more drinks.  This time my husband's is amazing and mine is...ehhh.  He drinks them both.  

    Honestly, I still would give this place another shot after the above description.  But then there's this:
    So, my drink took a really long time to come.  Like, after our food and way after my husband's drink.  Granted, a few more people had come in at this point so the single bartender was a little overwhelmed.  But here's the kicker.  Guess who else came in at this point?  The owner.  And with only about 7 guests in there and an overwhelmed bartender, guess what he did?  Made himself a drink, ordered some food and sat down at a table.
    He didn't say hello to customers.  He didn't replenish missing cocktail ingredients.  He didn't help out the bartender and make and/or deliver some cocktails.

    I have seen two types of restaurant/bar owners:
    The type who stay inspired and humble and who passionately treat their place like their baby.  Bussing a table if it needs it.  Chatting with customers.  Trying to figure out how he/she can do better and grow.
    OR, the one who gets caught up in feeling special and uses the place as somewhere they can come to show off on a date.

    I had hoped this owner was the former, but last night he seemed like the latter.
    It is a big deal for us to go out.  It takes organization, paying a babysitter, staying up late (two babies at home.  We are exhausted.) When we DO go out, we want to support a local business, even if it still had some flaws, but if the owner himself is complacent and doesn't care how empty the place is or about the service and cocktail choices people AREN'T getting, then why should I care?

    (ps.  I understand that with so many ingredients they might be out of some sometimes.  However, they have been out of a LOT both times.  And silly ones, too. Really? You couldn't have bought a little container of strawberries from a street vendor today? That was too hard? AND if the place was packed every night, it would then make financial sense to have all ingredients on hand...so work on getting and KEEPING customers!)

    My friends and I stumbled into this place after being squashed out of Bier. The vibe at 67 is a lot more chill and speakeasy. To be honest, it has one of the best cocktail lists I've seen in the city. With that said, though, the size of the drinks all very much vary. The Hemingway Daiquiri was tiny, but my Moscow Mule was extremely large, three times in volume, I'd say.

    The décor is simple, and it's small enough to feel cozy but big enough to feel like you can enjoy your time with your friends. The tall booths on the right side are a little awkward. It's as if the chair isn't deep enough, and there seems to be some wasted space in the corner, where no one can sit.

    The Harlem Shakes - fries - were quite excellent. A bit crispy, not too oily, and nicely seasoned. Overall, the price on all the bar snacks - upscale bar snacks - are really great, especially considering the high price of drinks.

    I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood to drop some change on drinks. It gives a reason to skip out on the more well known spots south of 14th Street.

    Yikes, why all the haters?

    I was here on a Monday night for a friend's birthday.  We had a party of eight people.  It was cute and cozy, the staff was delightful, and everyone in our group enjoyed their cocktails.  No one was disappointed.  Big smiles all around.  The drink menu had a good selection of clever offerings.

    My boyfriend and I sampled the bar food, and loved it as well.  Portions weren't big enough to qualify for dinner, but we savored every bite.

    Yes it was expensive, but I'd be back.  I don't drink often, so it doesn't hurt my budget to pay $8 or $12 for a cocktail.

    I'm sorry but this is the saddest excuse of an attempt to create a lounge outta of somebody's shoe closet. You need to lube up with some K-Y jelly cause the space here is TIGHTER than a virgin.

    WOW is all I can say. First it's two floors of closet space. You literally walk in and have this URGE to keep walking with the HOPE that there's more...NOPE. But wait, you see stairs leading to a basement. You quickly go for the stairs, you peep over the rails and you see a another small space but wait, there's a curtain...maybe there's more...uhmmm...NOPE it's just the coat rack...LMAO. I sat downstairs and i saw a few people do this all night...only to return upstairs and inhale the the Carbon dioxide someone standing real close by just exhaled.

    PLUS..ok first your space is tighter than fresh ass, then you wanna charge an ARM and a LEG for drinks. MIND YOU, this place is suppose to be "speakeasy" style so they don't have all the drinks you would typically order at a bar. I wanted a Malibu( cause I bowdown to all things malibu) only to be told by the waitress that they don't have "typical" bar stuff because of the whole speakeasy thang thang.

    this place is a fire hazard, I'm sure if the inspector came by and saw all those people in a tight ass place with only one door out, some type of violation ticket would be given.

    I was annoyed!!!
    I would warn against this place but again, cover yourself in K-Y jelly makes maneuvering  your way around way easier,  plus the price  of the drinks is like taking it raw up the ass...K-Y will help with that as well.

    Smooches :)

    I was so excited to see a bar come into the neighborhood- a real bar!  Not a restaurant bar, a student bar, or a weird cafe/bar (ahem, Cafe Amrita).  

    The drinks were great, the bartender was knowledgeable, the atmosphere was cozy.  But the spell was rather violently shattered when the bill came.  Woah, mama!  $12 for a vodka and soda?  I know they've got to make the rent and all, but damn.

    Two new joints recently opened on Frederick Douglass Blvd., just across the street from one another. Atomic Wings and 67 Orange Street. If that doesn't perfectly encapsulate the gentrification of Harlem, I don't know what does.

    I haven't tried the wings yet, but I did go to 67 Orange Street, and I have mixed feelings. It's definitely cute, all dark and moody interior, and the bartender was super friendly and made some really nice cocktails. But $13 each? You realize we're still in Harlem, right? It's nice to have an upscale option in the neighborhood, but I can't afford to make it a regular destination.
