My drinks for the evening were the lemon sour special with soju and sore, and a lemon you squeezed in yourself. I loved the interactive part of the drink, and the fact that I could make it MY level of (very) sour! It was a super refreshing drink too! Then I got their homemade orangina. I was super excited for this, because due to some meds I take, I can't have grapefruit/grapefruit juice anymore- which, you guessed it, is in the bottled stuff. This didn't have any! And it tasted wayyy better than the bottled kind- fresh juice for the win! I'll be back for this!

Cocktail bar conjoined to the Widow Jane Distillery. Full offering of Widow Jane products with many…read morehard to find options. Everything was offered as one or two ounces pours, so you could sample a bunch or relish exclusive bottles. I had one ounce of the Lucky Thirteen for $15. I typically see the bottle at a $200-$300 price point, so it was nice to get a taste without the huge splurge. Wonderful aroma. Sweet and vanilla forward reminding me of marshmallows. Sweet corn flavor too eventually switching over to more spicy flavors from the run in the late flavor and during the finish. Staff was quick, friendly, and helpful. There was one single occupancy restroom. Dynamic atmosphere. Huge sprawling windows allowing plenty of breeze and sunlight when opened. They have monstrous black out curtains which can be draped to instill a classic dim and romantic speakeasy vibe.

The vibes are classy with an entire wall of bottles lit up for a nice ambiance. Since we had our pup with us, we sat in the patio. I ordered the Rye Tea Punch ($16) while the boyfriend got the 10 Year Old Fashioned ($16). It was so cute how my drink came in a little clear teacup, which was a nice touch. The only thing that was disappointing was the slow service. We had asked for the check, but it never came around after waiting 15 minutes. We had reservations to get to, so the delay was annoying. I ended up walking up to the bartender to close out the tab since we never got our check.

I'm not sure if there is live music every single Saturday but every time we've been there a band starts setting up around 6pm. Industry City is full of amazing places, but Wormwood is hands down my favorite bar. They're also super family friendly and never give us an issue when we're with the kids. Love this spot!

Elsa's was the beginning staging area of our busy night.

I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

It was mostly pickle juice and tomato with a bunch of peppers, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning, but nothing that really stood out from the rest. I'm assuming this isn't really their specialty, but they competed anyway. It was really mellow, with nothing bold or memorable about it. Plus, there was an ice cube in there, so any hope of it being super hot got watered down pretty quickly. I'd still give this location a shot at their normal spot though, because the service was pretty nice. I can't really comment on the ambience since it was a pop-up, but if they usually do events like this, it'll depend on the event. Either way, I'll try their regular location.

It seems to be the spot to grab a drink before a game or show at Barclays since it's so close. I ordered the Passionfruit Pina Colada ($14) and my friend had the Flower Child ($8). I love how aesthetic the cocktail was presented in a metal goblet to keep the slushy chilled. The way it was served almost reminded me of sorbet ice cream, which made this very fun. The cocktail tasted like juice and was refreshing to sip on. When the space cleared out, the bartender even brought water over for us, which was nice.

The Japanese themed drinks, food, and decor are really cool, and there always seem to be cool/interesting people inside. We even ran into Sam Seder and H John Benjamin (voice of Archer, Bob from Bob's Burgers)! The drinks are fantastic, and manage to showcase the Japanese and Asian flavors really well without feeling gimmicky at all. The food is amazing as well, particularly the miso wings. This sauce is so tasty I've bought some for myself to use at home! Seating inside can be a little limited sometimes as it's a popular spot, but we were able to hang around the standing area and still have some drinks until bar space was available. Service was super fast but also friendly, our bartender was really chill. Overall, amazing little classy cocktail bar you should definitely check out.
