    I don't know why so many people are giving this place a bad rap. I was skeptical to go but it was adorable! You know you're getting an over-the-top kitschy little speakeasy with hilarious drinks. The whole thing is such an experience. We had the best bartenders ever and even got a cookie for our birthday! The staff was very nice. Getting in that champagne flute was silly and great for a picture. Also, while we were there it was very much giraffe themed but I did not hear or see anything Taylor Swift. Not sure if they're getting away from that theme or maybe I just don't know enough about the songs to understand if some of the decor was related to her. But it was really adorable and our favorite place.

    Trendy and great for Swifties . The drinks are curated around artists and songs. V E R Y P R I C E Y and weak for the price . Food was just ok . Service was good.

    Mhmm. It's ok. Came for a party for the owner that I saw on pulsd. I didn't get the shots advertised. the champagne was supposed to be from 9 to 11:50, but I didn't get mine until 9:30 ish close to 10 when the owner showed up and it was over at 10. Cute spot, good dj. Overpriced. They also serve food. I would try it for the experience. The unicorn drink was cute. I like the idea. The inside is nice. The general manager W.E, his name, was chased me down to pay a bill that I already paid: so tacky. It's one of those places as a brown person I wouldn't go to. One of the things I have as a brown person is coins, hunty. I would say try it for IG worthy pics and the experience. Thr owners mom in the champagne glass was life!

    Taylor swift coaster was the best part.

    Soooo, obviously we went to this bar because we were told it was a Taylor Swift themed speakeasy. And it is...sort of. It's a very fun "speakeasy" experience. The space is gorgeous with beautiful bathrooms, a giant champagne glass and a super cute lift area for larger parties. I can imagine renting the whole place out for a party or reception. There are a few Taylor things sprinkled around, but I would definitely say that this is a space for the non-swiftie as well. They weren't playing Taylor swift, and we literally questioned why. Our server said that they play Taylor all day before 5pm and then late night. He then said he would add some Taylor songs to the que for us. As soon as they did the whole bar lit up and the girlies were dancing and having a great time. I mean, I get that you can't solely rely on the Swifterhood to patronize your bar, but if you're marketing it to swifties so we'll spend our money there, you HAVE to at least play some Taylor songs even if it's just the 1989 bops. I'd say all in all, if you're a fan of Champagne and you live a fun speakeasy experience this is the bar for you.

    We had such a great time here! It was so fun getting in with the door of chip bags. The bartender Lana was so nice. We went on a weeknight and had the place to ourselves for a whole which was fun to take pictures and explore. There are so many details in the decor everywhere. It's very whimsical! The drinks were good. Pricey as most are at these places, especially NYC. They play all Taylor Swift music! It was a memorable experience!

    This place is so cute and quirky. I saw it on social media and decided to stop by while I was in New York. To get in I had to figure out where the entrance to the secret door was located by pressing snack chips that were hanging on the door and the walls around it. That was fun and cute. This is a Taylor Swift inspired speakeasy that is decorated with all sorts of fun and colorful paraphernalia. Bathroom was clean and well maintained. Me and my friends went for drinks only before going to dinner. The drinks are tasty and depending on what you order it comes served in a cute themed cup. We went in the middle of the day so we were seated immediately. There was one bartender and she was very nice and accommodating. The place is small but would still be fun for groups of 3-5.

    Cute place. People mostly go for the Instagram vibes. I got the lo mein with shrimp. It was OK. Comes in one of those Chinese containers were just cute. Was it worth the hype? Not sure about that. There was only one bartender that served as the server as well. For a weekend brunch I thought it was a bit too much for one person to handle it all. But he was great.

    It's a kitschy place where you have to "tap" empty bags of potato chips lining the wall for then a secret door to open into the bar. There's a large giraffe and a human-sized martini class that patrons can climb into for a photo op, which is fun. We sat ourselves on the second floor, and though the bar was relatively dead, it took forever to get service. Overall, it's a fun spot, but probably not a place I feel moved to go to again.

    inside the venue so many details look at the rug !

    Not sure what to think of this champagne speakeasy place. I have seen it all over tik tok and social media. I was excited to go and glad i was able to go for my birthday weekend. When you walk in there is a vending machine that you can get chandon mini bottles from I believe. You have to pay for it obviously. The walls in this area are covered in bags of chips and you have to hit some of the bags until you find the right one that opens the door into the actual bar part. The guy in the front was very nice and talkative he is the one that checks everyone in. When you get in there the bar is to the left and tables to the right. Then you may be seated in the upstairs area where we were. There is a big statue of a champagne bottle in the middle of it and the ceilings are made with mirrors and it's very cool looking. The tables are small at least at the one we sat at. There is a button in muddle of table that if you need waiters help you press it and they come. It says ring for champagne. It's a pretty cute idea. This is a Taylor swift bar there are alot of components to this place that have her face on things and she is in the mural that is on the back wall. I believe there are also drinks named after a song or two or something like that. In the downstairs area there is a big ball pit in the shape of a champagne glass where people can actually go into. We opted out of this but looked fun. On the bottom floor is where the bathroom is. It is pretty chilly in this bathroom. The sink is an ice bucket and the soap dispenser is in the shape of a champagne bottle. Very cute ideas. This place is great for instagram/ social media pictures. There is lots you can photograph. The menu here you have to scan the qr code on a mini tube of pringles. Another cute idea. Once it opens the menu is soo hard to read. Atleast, my friend and I were having issues with it. For some of the drinks they come in a cute animal or an object. My first drink came in a panda my friends came in a girraffe and hers had banana chips in it. I did not like mine so I sent it back and got a mini bottle of chandon instead. The waiter was nice but there was some Miscommunication through out the time we were there. Not sure if I need to come and check this place out again.

    Speak easy type of vibes. You have to find your way into the establishment behind a door of all sorts of chips. (Really fun feature). The concierge/host was extremely friendly, while checking my id she noticed my birthday was the day before. She sent a text inside and within a few minutes of me entering the dj was shouting me out by name wishing me a happy birthday. That was a nice touch. The drink menu is extensive as you can imagine a ton of champagne options. They serve food but I just came from dinner so I didnt try it out this time. They do offer free bar snacks some tasty chips. The lay out is nice an upstairs and main floor. A ton of photo opportunities. Although its a Taylor swift themed bar I was happy that they played a variety of music. Top 40, hip hop, reggae , soca , afro beats. Very diverse. Great place to celebrate something.

    Let's start out by saying we found parking right in front of the restaurant! You can't miss this glittering gold and green, it's definitely a social media restaurant (I'm in love with the PHOTO) Walking in we were greeted by the door man and upon entrance there is a champagne vending machine and chip bags galore. Next we were greeted by the hostess/waitress and walked into the 80's with a jungle glamour sort of thing going on but it's all about the photos right (Not in my book). The seating on the 1st floor is bad because you are way too close to the other parties attending the restaurant, your conversations here are not private although we lucked up and sat next to some cool people. If unable to get the waiters attention press the champagne button in the middle of your table an wallah. So the reason for the chip bag decor is explained by the food because everything comes with chips except the pot stickers. Speaking of pot stickers salty as ever 1 out of 10 and as for the artichoke and spinach dip which was paired with unsalted chips and carrots was bland and there wasn't a salt shaker in sight we ended up attending another restaurant. They say don't knock it until you try it well I tried it and I'm knocking it. If you go for anything just go for the photos.

    We had an amazing time listening to the new album and taking tons of pictures in this Taylor swift themed speakeasy.

After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

Not surprising, then, that it was pretty packed by the time we finished dinner, at 10:30ish. Serptentine has a solid cocktail list, one that definitely reflects the West Village sensibility. The drinks are all clear variations of classics (ie., martini, negroni, espresso martini, margarita, old fashioned, etc.) but with some added intrigue. All well-executed and made efficiently, which is very impressive during weekend primetime. If you're not nearby I wouldn't make a trip to the area just for Serpentine, but it's a fantastic option if you live/work in the neighborhood and/or are getting a meal in the area and are looking for a bar to start or end at. As I mentioned, it was relatively busy when we arrived here. There weren't any open seats initially but the host said we could hang around the bar for a bit, as he expected a table to open soon. It was probably 10 minutes before we were sat which is basically like being sat immediately in New York time. And generally, the staff here were great -- very personable and accommodating, quick service, only praise in that area. The vibes here are cozy but lively, giving more of a friend hangout than a date (it's also relatively loud so not ideal for conversation if you're sitting across from someone at a table, versus standing and mingling or sitting on bar stools). If you're a dirty martini person you are in luck here, because the Serpentini (grey goose vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, pepperocini liqueur) is unlike any other. And I get dirty martinis pretty much everywhere I go, so that's saying something. Why is it so unique, you may ask? Well, the pepperocini liqueur is a nice touch and props to whoever decided it was necessary to make such a thing. But the real game changer is the sidecar. You may be thinking -- how is a sidecar unique? Well, it's not just any sidecar...it is not filled with more martini but simply PURE FILTHY BRINE. I mean, if you're ordering a dirty martini, you probably would take a bath in olive brine, brush your teeth with olive brine -- hell, maybe even your contact solution is just olive brine. Want to make your martini dirtier as you drink it? Serpentine has you covered. It is so simple and obvious yet I've never experienced it before. And, because I've never met someone who loves dirty martinis who doesn't also drool over blue cheese-stuff olives, the Serpentini's got that too. Though less exciting and groundbreaking, Mezcal Negroni (ilegal mezcal, campari, averna amaro, lo-fi gentian amaro) is also solid. I love a mezcal negroni and this one is relatively straightforward, just a subtle variation with a few different amaros to add some complexity and herbal notes. A fun and versatile neighborhood spot. It's in prime location so I imagine to rent is absurd, so fingers crossed that it sticks around!
