A fabulous little find in Nomad. The bar is quite sexy and moody with classic NY dark paneled walls and a huge floor to ceiling bar area. The drinks are magnificent. We had the Old Fashioned and it was perfection. Ordered up the chicken parm as an appetizer and the French dip with fries. So delicious. This is a great spot to meet with a group of friends or have a drink with clients. The sound level is not loud and the service was spectacular. Putting this one I the short list. I'll be back

RIP to the NoMad Bar, which was my favorite bar in NYC. Little Ned, now in its place, is unfortunately not it. I happed to visit a few times within the timespan of a week so I am confident in my assessment. First, my boyfriend and I walked in at 6:48 PM on a Saturday to grab a quick drink before a show, and got lucky with a table. The Start Me Up (nice homage!) was great, but the Prerequisite was mid. (Little Mid?) I then returned on a weekday with a reservation, and my friend and I got a great table on the second level overlooking the bar. Sadly we had a weird/bad server - he forgot a few small things and also just had an odd demeanor? This can be forgiven if the food/drinks are incredible, but alas. Dill pickle martini was good if a little too sweet. The food was hit or miss: tagliatelle, broccolini and beets and goat cheese were good; buttermilk chicken was not. It tasted like nothing, and was purportedly spicy but absolutely wasn't?? Food (and drinks) were just so much better at the NoMad Bar. Will not be back.

Cute bar, super nice vibes and perfect for a date night! The music isn't too loud, leaving room for good conversation. The bar is also soo pretty so highly recommend sitting there if you have the chance:-) we were easily seated on a Saturday evening (pretty early into the night). We sat in a quiet corner of the bar, and it was very quiet and intimate. I had the Tiptree Sour, which was a light, refreshing drink that wasn't too strong. Friendly service, and good selection of drinks. No complaints.

If you are looking for a cozy and upscale cocktail bar then this is it. Perfect for a girls night or date. The drinks are excellent -- strong, but don't taste it. And we loved that we didn't need to shout to have a conversation.

Little Ned is one of my favorite cocktail bars in Manhattan. It is nestled on a quiet street and the entrance is not totally obvious. There is a parking lot across from it, if that helps. The vibe here is quiet, intimate and elegant. I have been here before with reservations and have also been here without. When we showed up on a Friday night without a reservation, and a large group, they were able to accommodate us right away. There are two levels - downstairs has some bar seating, some lounge seating and some booth seating. Upstairs, the setting is more like a library, with a bookcase, some two person tables and one or two larger tables. All servers and hosts have been friendly and accommodating. The servers are happy to recommend drinks and describe them to you. I have not been unhappy with any drink or food dish here. The cheese plate is a favorite - comes with honey on an actual honeycomb. The espresso ice cream sandwich is so so good. The bathrooms are on the lower level and are gender neutral. They have upscale soap and lotion in the bathroom which is a nice touch. Bathrooms are always sparkling clean. I love the decor throughout the bar, and the paintings near the bathroom are no exception. I've taken people here who love it here so much that they wind up coming back and bringing more friends. If you are able to get the larger table in front of the window upstairs, it has a direct view of the Empire State Building. The sound level is good - it is not a loud bar, but still lively and the energy is kinetic. Easily one of the coolest, chillest places to come for a drink when you want to keep the night low key.

This place is such a hidden gem & has become possibly one of my favorite cocktail bars in the city. Fantastic drinks, amazing cozy vibes, and great service.

Came here with a friend after dinner just to grab a drink and keep yapping. The vibes are superb! Dim lights, dark wood, huge bar selection, it's lowkey giving speakeasy old school bar vibes, we loved it! I'm sober at the moment so I got a couple of mocktails, while my friend tried several of their appealing drinks even one called "the everything martini" that came with a tiny ball of mozzarella cheese in it lol. She said it was good and I trust her taste. My mocktails were good too, very refreshing and delicious without being overly sweet or feeling like I'm drinking a basic juice. I mean it is juice but like elevated I'd go again, cool vibes, great service and drinks.

I remember when this was "The Nomad Bar" at "The Nomad". The interior is basically the same as before. The bar and food is still very good, but I will say that just about everything is a tad behind the old establishment. Drinks are great, but not excellent (The Nomad Bar was #1 cocktail bar in the world for a while). Vibe was incredible and the place was always packed on a weeknight (many nights there was a wait or no availability), and now the place isn't filled and the clientele isn't as lively Service used to be unmatched both at the bar and for tables, now not as much Food was a cut above any other swanky cocktail bar, and now it's on par. Don't get me wrong, this place is still great (hence the 4 stars), but the place hasn't evolved / has potentially taken a step back in terms of overall quality. I'll be back, but there are many other contenders now.

Great spot to bring colleagues visiting from out of town. I was looking for a spot near where they were staying and have had Little Ned on my radar for a couple of years now. Perfect excuse to finally give it a try! The drinks were all delicious - we each got a couple of rounds and I chose both the Champagne Martini and Japanese Highball. The champagne martini struck the perfect balance of boozy and light, while the highball had an awesome kick to it. My colleagues all enjoyed their cocktails too, so it seems you really cannot go wrong here. We shared some bites too - the warm pretzel, cheese plate, lobster roll, steak frites. My two favorites were the pretzels and the lobster roll, but all were quite good! Given the price range, I'd definitely recommend for an occasion or trying to impress out of towners.

What a cool bar. Went here for a drink after eating dinner and we were presently surprised. Even though the drinks are pricey (but hey, you are in NYC! What's not overpriced?), it was worth sitting and enjoying the ambiance, talking and enjoying a cocktail. Bartenders were great and very helpful explaining the drinks.

Always go here for the Martinis! One of my favorite go to spots for an after work quick drink! Good for groups or a one on one catch up or date night!

Came with a group here on a Saturday night after some dinner and karaoking to wind down. We walked in at around 11pm and asked if they had seating for 8. They made us wait by the door and said that we can stand around at the bar. We were OK with that and then suddenly they came and said they have a spot for us upstairs. Decor: The ambiance is lovely. It is dark and had a great sophisticated vibe. We were seated at the touch by the windows on the 2nd floor and had a great unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. Food: We just ordered one giant fountain for the group to share. It was definitely worth it and I loved how the pitcher had 4 nozzles providing easy access for the entire group no matter where they were sitting. We asked if it was suitable for a group of 8 and the waitress seemed to imply it was more for a group of 6. We were fine with that since we aren't heavy drinkers, but even our group of 8 had trouble finishing it.

I hadn't been to Little Ned in so long, I forgot I had been there before, and when my friend and I walked in last Friday night, I went: "Oh, right! I loved this place the last time I was here!" We visited around 9pm on a Friday night. They didn't have any tables but they had one seat at the bar (my friend sat and I stood next to her), which was fine since we had planned on just having one drink. The service at the bar was good (friendly and as attentive as they can be when they're busy). But our drinks are what I'll remember. It just so happens that the friend I was with and I love to try pickle martinis whenever we see them on a menu and compare them with all the others we've had. We saw a pickle martini at the top of their menu when we began to read the menu and we just stopped and agreed on two of those (I do remember from the last time I was there years ago that I loved their cocktails and mocktails in general). The cocktail ("Dill Pickle") was creative (a wet martini served with a side of pickle chips topped with a little everything bagel spice, they told us to take a bite of the pickles and then sip the drink) and different from others we've had. Just a creative, delicious cocktail, one that makes you curious to try more from their menu. Overall, a really nice cocktail bar. Hopefully it won't be so long before I return again!

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

I opted for a pastel sour while my companion asked for a drink called The Last Word - it was no longer on the menu but they obligingly made it for us anyway. The menu consists of mostly small plates and is seafood forward, but we shared a petite dish of steak frites, tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Our server was very sweet but service was slow on the night, and by the time we received our utensils the food was cold. However we were not rushed and were able to linger a bit to finish our conversation. For those who savor finely concocted cocktails paired with fresh raw bar offerings in a salon-like setting, this is the spot for you.
