They also have a good selection of non alcoholic drinks. For bites we got fries and the brown butter cookie (definitely shareable by 2). I would recommend saving these toward the end and not mixing with your beverage since it messes with the taste profile.

When you first walk in the host greeted us and we were seated right away. We ordered a Caesar salad, a fruit plate and a few drinks. For drinks we got two Habanero and a Rose. The drinks were good definitely a 8.5 out of 10. If you have a gluten allergy one thing to consider is that they don't really have that many gluten free options. Def a place to good place to pregame because the drinks are good. Overall 8 out of 10 experience.

We sat on the gorgeous rooftop and enjoyed a lovely view. We got some great photos as well. The only thing I would say is that while the food is DELISHHHH , the portion sizes are very very small . So... we definitely went for a big dessert after we left haha. But for the ambiance / drinks / vibes, this is a great rooftop bar that you can likely make a reservation for the day of! Once it gets busier, this may change.

Place is understated. Below street level. You kinda clamber down into the place. It's dark but lit well. Some chairs and tables, some high chairs... friendly and attentive staff. I really enjoyed being there.

We had two rounds consisting of: Shiso Nice, Downtown Lassi, Soft Launch and speciality OF. Everything was delicious, unique, balanced and very much a delight.

Highly recommend!

The room itself is stylish and comfortable, making it an easy place to settle in for a drink or two. The bourbon selection is where things really shine. There are some genuinely interesting pours on the menu, including a few dusties you don't see every day, which is always a treat for whiskey nerds. Staff seemed knowledgeable and happy to talk through options, which adds to the experience. That said, pours are priced very much in line with NYC expectations--not shocking for the city, but something to be aware of if you're planning to explore the higher-end bottles. You're paying for access and atmosphere as much as what's in the glass. Overall, a great stop for bourbon lovers looking for something a little different, especially if you appreciate rare bottles and a cool setting. Just go in knowing it's a splurge-worthy spot rather than an everyday pour.

We visited Rosa Agave & Wine Lounge during Happy Hour. The Lounge has Sleek /Chic / Beautiful Red & Black decor, nice lighting arrangements & overall cool ambiance. Rosa Agave & Wine Lounge has well-crafted cocktails, wines & Latin-Inspired Small Plates. Our Empanadas & Steak Tacos were well-seasoned & tasted great. The cocktails were well-prepared & refreshing. Rosa Agave has clean bathrooms. Special thanks to Manager Joe & Server Oscar who have friendly dispositions, are attentive & kind & gave us quality customer service. Joe took time to share information about the lounge that included Lunch Service starting that week. We will return for Happy Hour.

The ambiance is fantastic, as expected from a place that's primarily a design shop, and the service was very friendly and attentive We got gildas, tortilla española, gigante beans, and the sardine toast. WOW every bite was delicious. So much flavor, perfectly balanced and executed. The cocktails were delicious too. Most of them are called "spritzes" on the menu, but I think that undersells how well crafted they are -- I usually think of like Aperol on ice with a spritz... these are real craft cocktails with large single cubes of clear ice After dinner, you can stroll around the store and look at all their gorgeous lamps. The hostess told me Quarters was originally a lighting store -- not surprised! All in all, would go back in a heartbeat

It's not trying to be too much and there's a charm to that, too. The cocktails and wine will surprise you if you just judge the place based on appearance, and the drinks were solid and it's not a bad place to keep in your radar to stop in if you're in the area. I wouldn't say it's a destination spot if you're not already in the neighborhood, but it can be a casual cool spot to stop by - the only thing is that it was a little crowded so you can hear other people's conversation but maybe that's the vibe you're going for and that way you get to talk to strangers more.
