    There's some fun drinks going on here. Got to try Pandan Milk Punch and Coconut Negroni. LOVE it. Will come back.

    On my last day in New York City before flying back home, I wanted to spend time with one of my favorite people and she recommended we hang around this bar as it is a cool and cute place to be. There's a swap meet outside and inside this bar, and my friend asked me "want to go to a swap meet on Sunday?". I said yes, because swap meets are my jam. We bought some items from the swap meet vendors and that qualified us a free drink ticket. I got the Dirty Birdy, and enjoyed it. I also got a hotdog that they grilled out front, which was delicious. I picked up a cute tote bag that I use all the time. You can find some nice art pieces and clothes at the swap meet here. It made me feel like a cool young person being here.

    Glorious sign welcomes the weary traveler

    This review is more for food rather than drink! Chanced upon this place 6pm on a Saturday when I was hungry between work and an evening event. I saw this glorious neon sign "Kitchen Open" beckoning me. Open the door and Korn's "falling away from me" was blasting, the scent of nag champa wafting, and I knew this was the spot for me. I got a breaded chicken sandwich which was bomb, with a good lil side salad. Wolfed it all down with a kolsch and without taking a pic! Actually going to come back for the vegan ceviche and I appreciated that their barfood menu was more fresh and healthy offerings rather than like just, fried things. Hella good vibes all around: All staff were friendly and approachable. It was chill when I arrived but starting to get busy for a show when I left, excited to roll back in here with buds.

    This place got a recent reno and it shows. Perfect low key neighborhood spot, don't tell your friends because it should stay a secret

    Stopped in this bar a couple of times before heading over to Brooklyn Steel for a show. Service was slow at first but the drinks were good and the happy hour specials were pretty well priced. My friend wanted to order the frozen margarita, but it wasn't quite frozen enough so the bartender offered to make her one instead. I thought that was cool of him, instead of serving her a crappy drink. Another cool thing is that they have a decent selection of sliders... and I LOVE SLIDERS!! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to wait for the food but enjoyed some crispy french fries with our drinks. The bar has an easy, low-key vibe which I really liked and was lively without being obnoxious. If you're looking for drinks before a show or just in the neighborhood, I'd recommend stopping in. And please try the sliders for me. They looked SO good!

    I stopped by here late night about a hr before closing but in that hour , i grew a liking for this place .. it's a intimate space but also has an additional space in the back i was told by the dope bartender . (JB ) was friendly and fully aware andknowledgeable of the spots events . I didn't get a chance to eat because the kitchen literally just closed but the menu looked pretty tasty I will def stop by again to hit up one of the many events they have a grab some food .. GOT MY VOTE!

    Beef Sliders
    Kadeesha L.

    Great late night spot for some quick grub. Not an extensive menu, but definitively tasty options past 12am that will fulfill your craving. Two sliders for 12$. Fries are 6$ and theres a few different kinds like yucca and beet. Aside from the typical beef (from their neighbors Meat Hook) & chicken options they also have a mushroom croquette type of patty and a beet burger. Pork slider is available as well. The beef was tender and juicy, and the mushroom was delicious as well. Crispy and cheesy. A smart idea would be to round up a gang of friends and all order different sliders because mixing and matching is not an option. The. Get a round of 7$ beer and shots because why not!? Also-the door guy is super friendly and nice! He'll get you some of the yummy chipotle mayo.

The music is at a low enough volume that you can hear your conversations, it doesn't get too crowded so you can spread out, even if you're in a large group. Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

That was until I was halfway through beer three. It all got dark. I mean it literally got dark. A waitress began pulling down all the blinds, taking away the sun haven I had found myself loving. Taking away the joy I had worked so hard to achieve. That is when I knew that that beer would be my last. I did not come to a bar with a wall of windows to end up in a place darker than the Rikers Island cells mere miles away. So I ask this one question to the waitress, why? Why ruin the joy of light? Why ruin it?

It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
