Solid cocktail place in the UES

This place puts out some really great cocktails.  The ambiance tries to be very downtown.  I like to sit at the bar, it feels a little too "non-intimate" at the tables in the back.

Cocktails are very well crafted and they do a great job.  They have metal straws as well - figured I'd throw that out there.

Nice place when you want to stay local.  Added plus is you can have another cocktail instead of paying for that cab ride back from downtown.

Fun gem on the UES. It wasn't busy at all when I came on a Friday night and I was able to get a booth. The cocktails are balanced and well crafted. It also has a bizarre dark atmosphere, that oddly seems to go with the vibe of the place.
I came a bit too late and the kitchen had closed, so I got the popcorn. It's an interesting concept and a bit too rich for popcorn, and I'd have preferred it wihtout the sauce that made it soggy.

I like the setting, it's very comfy dark cozy warm... Drinks are so unique !! Service was nice... Pricey... But worth it!
