Jac's on Bond is definitely one of those hot, young spots that can be challenging to get into without a reservation. I usually come here for a drink before or after dinner somewhere nearby, and it's always a fun stop. The vibe is lively, stylish, and very see-and-be-seen. It's especially fun for a girls' night when you want to get dressed up and have a couple of drinks in a trendy setting. Definitely more about the atmosphere and scene, but that's exactly what makes it fun. read more

Jac’s on Bond - Martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We celebrated my cousin's 30th birthday at Jac's on Bond, and his wife rented the private room in the back for the party. For a group event, it worked out really well. The private space felt separate enough from the main restaurant to allow everyone to relax, mingle, and enjoy the celebration without feeling cramped. The staff did a great job taking care of our group, and service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. The catered food was also well done. There was a nice variety of options for the group, and the cheese board was particularly impressive--beautifully presented and a great centerpiece for guests to snack on while socializing. The only downside for me came when it was time to leave. The main restaurant and bar area were absolutely packed, and making our way through the crowds was a bit overwhelming. That's more a reflection of how popular the place is on a Saturday night than anything else, but it did reinforce that it's probably not somewhere I'd choose to visit during peak hours for a regular night out. That said, for a private event, the space was excellent. Between the dedicated room, the food, and the attentive service, they did a great job hosting the celebration, and I'd definitely recommend it for a special occasion. read more

Oh Jac, this is my love letter to you. I love: - your martinis - your night vibes - your music choice - and everyone here is so nice For going out with friends it on a date, this is the place to stop by! Pro tip! If you're looking to sit, you have to have a res. If not, stop by early since they close at midnight read more

Great spot! We came in mid day on a Saturday with no reservation and had a great experience. I had the Hot 97 which was fantastic and though we had no res we were able to stand at the bar and tables inside and then were swiftly seated outside. The hostess was amazing, our server was a little standoffish but that's okay. Overall really liked Jacs and will definitely be back! read more

Cool place to chill for a drink. Sundays work well you are ahead of the crowds. Was told Friday's and Saturday nights are crazy. Place is very nice and I enjoyed my Manhattan Manhattan yes say it twice ;) Didn't try any food. read more

Classic sexy dimly lit cocktail bar with inventive drinks. The caprese martini is to die for if you like a savory drink. I made a reservation for 3 of us on a Monday night and I'm glad I did because even though they were not packed, they were still full. To be honest I don't remember the other drinks I ordered. I only remember the caprese martini because that's the only thing I will be drinking here from now on. Prices are what you would expect for craft cocktails in this area. Food wise we ordered the crab dip, oysters, olives, and cheese. Even though it was all good, I don't know if I would order food here again other than something small to peck on. Our server was lovely and made sure we were taken care of. The beautiful martinis and alluring interior would make this a great date night spot. read more

Jac's surpassed my expectations and I would love to come back here again. We sat inside and I wish it wasn't so cold but there was outdoor seating as well. The service is great and it was pretty quiet inside when I went on a weekend afternoon/early evening. I loved every food and drink I got here. The chips and cheese and truffle popcorn were so yummy and fresh and flavorful. The drinks were also so good and pretty and I got multiple cosmos. Both bread items I ordered were also delicious. Everything is plated beautifully too. read more

Very cool inside with a pool table but maintains an elevated vibe. Trendy hot spot kind of vibe. Delicious but pricey drinks. Food was surprisingly very good! It can usually get crowded, especially on the weekends and after work. read more

Jac’s on Bond - Inside vibe. Tomato martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Love this space for a girls' night or a date. There's a pool table and a bunch of small tables with a couple of booths in the back. Note the space is pretty small, so it's not ideal if you're with more than a couple people, plus would make a reservation if you can. The bartenders were friendly and gave my friend and me free shots. Drinks were pretty good. read more

Drinks were mid. Dark and loud. We were at a table near the bathroom and there was a line next to me our table the entire night like rubbing up to us. I would try again but drinks were not worth $22. read more

lol its very sceny sexy vibe but always so crowded like what's the point of having a pool table in the middle of the place if ur prob going to whack the next person with it idk. The backroom is nice but too far removed imo. Front bar is so busy the bartenders are flustered. Drinks are pretty solid but not worth the long lines pushing ppl idk just not my fave read more

Easy to miss when walking by, Jac's on Bond is tucked away on the side street, down a few steps, there is usually a security guard in front checking ID. The spot is a lot smaller than I expected & dimly lit. It was pretty quiet around 6pm but got a lot busier after 7 (on a week night) Note this is a cocktail bar so the menu is very small and limited. The artichoke tart was very tasty. Crab dip was just ok. I tried their signature caprese martini which had an overwhelming basil taste. The espresso martini was really good. They have a pool table in the back and 1 bathroom, which always had a long line. read more

I came by jacsonbond last night with some of my girlfriends - as you know it gets crowded. I was walking over to meet my friend at the bar and there was a young gentleman standing next to me, holding a stick because he was blind. I didn't want to be rude to him, so I said excuse me and went by him slowly so I didn't push him or startle him, in which the young gentleman said "no problem". I got to my friend and went to order a drink and one of your bartenders says to me "I don't know if I want to serve you after what you did" which I go huh? I said excuse me and he said no problem. The bartender continued to say no you didn't I saw you, what do you want. The bartender had shaggy hair and an accent. Terrible service, I would never recommend my friends to that place just because of him which is a shame because I loved the ambience. read more

Great bar. Good drinks. Strong energy, solid crowd, and the cocktails were actually balanced instead of just being sugar bombs with a cute garnish. I would've stayed for another round. However, I got seated about two feet from the bathroom, which immediately shifted the vibe. Not just near it. Practically guarding it. Every time the door opened, I got a fresh rotation of traffic, noise, and whatever scent happened to escape. It felt less like I was at a table and more like I was part of the restroom waiting area décor. There was a woman who I believe was the bathroom attendant, and she stationed herself so close to our table that it genuinely felt like she was in our party. I understand she's working and doing her job, but she was hovering within arm's reach the entire time. No buffer, no spatial awareness, just fully present in every beat of our conversation. At one point I half expected her to weigh in on the topic or ask how the drinks were. It made the whole experience oddly tense. Hard to relax, hard to talk freely, constantly aware of someone standing inches away while strangers lined up beside you. Great bar, but next time I'm requesting literally any other square footage in the building. read more

the jac's caprese cocktail was one of the best i've ever had. it completely delivered on the promise of having the exact flavor profile of caprese, you could literally taste the olive oil, basil, tomato, and balsamic flavors all together and somehow, it was delicious as a drink. it was actually crazy how u could taste each element of the caprese and it was literally a flavor explosion in my mouth. the lil cherry tomato just made it perfect. i've never had a cocktail like this before! i love the uniqueness of it. read more

The cocktails were really great. Expensive, but that's not surprising for the area. We got the caprese martini, which exceeded expectations, and a side car - which wasn't on the menu but the bartender nailed it (taste and presentation) as though it was a signature cocktail. It's also a cool looking space ... only complaint is that there's not a lot of seating, so it can feel crammed. And there's only one bathroom which can lead to long lines. Don't be in a rush here but definitely grab a drink! read more

You could fly to Uganda and back before your cocktail arrives, so don't bother unless you want to stare your first date sober in the face for a prolonged period of time. As it gets late, the place gets crowded to the point where you will eventually get impaled by a pool table stick. Please bring back the smile, it was a great brunch spot :) read more

One star off for putting three people at the worlds smallest table when we could have fit in the smaller booth in the back. The cáprese martini is to die for. I do not like martinis but this basically tastes like a caprese salad in a glass. Very good. I got two zero proof drinks, which both were delicious and unique flavors. My friends and I split the crab dip - the portion was kind of small for $16 but very tasty read more

Jacs on Bond has been my go-to spot for years. The staff, many from the LGBTQIA+ community, are always welcoming, and the music, energy, and pool table make it such a fun place. A couple of weeks ago, I witnessed an incident where some very drunk patrons, including someone named Omar, were aggressive toward both guests and staff, even breaking glasses. Despite being kindly asked to leave, they refused, and the manager had to step in. Omar claimed it was due to his identity, but it was strictly about his behavior. Jacs on Bond remains a safe, inclusive, and amazing spot. I'll always come back! read more

Have the Caprese martini - absolutely delish!! Great ambiance too! Very cool spot - plan to become a regular - great staff too. read more

Cool spot with a great vibe. The drinks were really good and the staff was super chill and friendly. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Bathrooms are shit tbh. But bouncer Feb 15 at midnight is the fucnimg man, let me go in there to grab my food I left and honest and true man. read more

We stopped at Jac's for cocktails on a low key weekday afternoon and were seated immediately. Service was great and they recommended a few items but I had to try the signature Caprese martini. I liked it but I definitely get that it is not for everyone. You can really taste Caprese and it's a little bit of a mind whirl. You can easily pick one of the other cocktails - the espresso martini was also delicious. We didn't get any food so will have to pop by again. read more

This place has been open for over a month and no one has posted full menu pics (???). I kinda hate when a food/bev biz doesn't post a menu so... here you go. $20 drinks. Pretty much the norm now! We had a reservation, and they ask you before you enter if you have one, but once we got inside, we saw the place was absolutely packed with plenty of people standing... so I guess walk-ins are okay if they have space. Staff are very nice. Space is dark, cool, cute, and not too loud. There's a pool table, and it's free to use! They did a nice job transforming this place from The Smile brunch spot that previously existed here. All good stuff. However, I'm here for the cocktails and while I'd give 5 stars for creativity and generous pour, the 2.5 we tried just weren't very tasty. The Rum-Com and Caprese Martini had really strong popcorn and balsamic vinegar flavors respectively, and not in a pleasant way. Beets Nothing literally tasted like chilled borscht. Hey, maybe I'm missing the point here, like maybe they're doing Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Cocktails. But tbh I just didn't find these to be very drinkable! They're not balanced, not palatable - just strong on one, gimmicky flavor that feels kind of sickly by the end. Honestly probably would have had a better experience just ordering a classic cocktail rather than one of their creations. Can't say much about the food, we just got the chips and melted cheese - which was tasty but nothing wild. The food is by the team behind Contra, which I love, so there are probably some hits hidden in the food menu. No free bar snacks btw. Best part: there was a consistent line of 2-4 people for the bathroom and every single person, without fail, asked the attendant standing beside it "is this the only bathroom?" So yeah probably won't come back since there are just so many alternatives closer to where I live, but all in all great effort! Also noticed how crazy inflated this place's rating is on Google. Yeah... the 3 stars this place has on Yelp (at time of posting) is a lot more accurate... read more

Wonderful new addition to Noho and Bond Street. Love the cocktails, the BBOF (banana bread old-fashioned) is my favorite. Sitting outside on the cobblestone streets of Bond Street (no platform here!) is super pleasant in nice weather. Service is great and staff are super nice. read more

I've been coming to Jacs on Bond for a while now, and it's definitely one of my go-to spots. My friends and I enjoy playing pool there--we usually end up meeting new people at the table too--which adds to the friendly atmosphere. The cocktails are always on point, and the overall environment is welcoming for everyone. The staff really cares about making sure folks feel comfortable, no matter who they are. They handle tough situations with fairness and respect, which says a lot about the place. Shoutout to the staff for great drinks, good music and vibes, and an inclusive environment. read more

Great drinks! Amazing vibe! Adrianna was our server and she was amazing! Definitely make this a stop of yours. Add it to the list!

Came in with high expectations, immediately walked in and noticed it was smaller than what the pictures looked like which is fine. Ordered a Negroni and they came back with MAYBE a quarter of the glass filled. I thought it was a joke, then they brought us our water and I thought it was the second half of our cocktail (thinking deconstructed style) and it wasn't...basically just got robbed. Not to mention we paid $50 for these "drinks" read more

Visited in April for drinks and dessert. We had Jac's Chocolate Mousse and the Creamsicle Pie. I loveedddd both. The chocolate mousse took me by surprise though because I wasn't expecting so much chocolate dust and I inhaled it as I ate it and it went through my nose and mouth at the same time, but I still loved every bite of it. I think my favorite dessert was the Creamsicle because it's so creamy and it reminded me of a creamsicle pop I would have as a kid. Overall really liked the orangey cream taste. Also love how they gave us whipped cream on the side. The one thing I don't like about the place is how there is one bathroom though. Super long line and wait time to use the bathroom. Would have been nice if they converted the one bathroom into two or two toilet stalls. Music could be dimmed down a bit since it's already very loud. I have to give a shout out to an employee--I can't remember his name...the young man, a server who wears glasses. He was SO NICE! Great service so understanding and polite. He allowed me to use the bathroom downstairs because it was an emergency and he walked with me to make sure I wouldn't trip and fall. Such a kind gentleman. He made our night because of his kindness. read more

Came here for work drinks and it felt a tad too trendy for work drinks. Nevertheless, it is a very nice bar, great staff, and good menu.

A pretty hip bar to get drinks and is intimate for a date. Recommend getting a reservation but there are a couple of seats at the bar so you might be able to snag a spot. Their cocktails are pretty solid but can be expensive. They also have pool tables in the back but it's always occupied. read more

Drinks are great and the space is cute. Service should be improved. Some staff were extremely unprofessional but nothing that can't be fixed with better management. read more

This is my new favorite spot to visit when I come to NYC! Amazing drinks, great staff and a sexy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I was sad to see the smile go but I'm so happy jacs on bond is here to stay! I actually really love this bar, the drinks are super good, the vibe is incredible and people complaining about how packed it gets is insane any small cute bar in the city gets like this if you show up on a busy night lol. It's 100% the neighborhood bar we all needed tbh! read more

Such a sexy bar, great place to bring a date... or don't cause it's filled with beautiful women. The layout works well for mingling but also private one on one convos. They made me one of the best manhattans I've ever had, and the food was exactly what I was looking for-- not overly heavy, but still deeply satisfying, with unique options. Perfect new soho spot. read more

HOMOPHOBIC PLACE DO NOT GO IF YOU ARE LGBT+ We were there last night and had a horrible experience!! My bf and friend were playing pool and got kicked out for no reason. As the bouncer was escorting us out he yells NO F****TS Allowed. I have never experienced being hated nor kicked out of a bar for being gay. And to be called that by an employee is absolutely outrageous and hurtful. We were paying customers and spent a lot there and to get kicked out and get called a homophobic slur is ludicrous. If you hate us then refund us my money and we will take our gay selves somewhere else that is welcoming to all. read more

After hearing about this place I wanted to check it out and thought Monday night was a good time to do so (I've been seeing it gets really crowded on weekends) when we got in we were told that there weren't any tables open for two (which was true they were all taken) but two people were leaving the bar area as we got there so we snagged those. I was very interested in the Caprese Martini which I thought was fabulous and so unique and it was nice to sit by the bar. The crowd here on a Monday was great and I think I would come back on a weekend because there honestly is a TON of standing room. I would love to play pool next time, although I didn't get an answer for if you can only play when you reserve a table. All in all a fun vibe. read more
