I was looking for a spot in the area to meet a friend, and after a quick search settled on Little Ned. As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it. read more

Little Ned - Valentino - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Come to Little Ned for fantastic cocktails in an intimate setting, you won't be disappointed. The space is gorgeous, with bar and table seating on the main floor, as well as some standing tables next to the bar if you can't find a seat right away. There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit! read more

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 read more

Little Ned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Little Ned - Espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great cocktails, awesome vibe, solid service. All great. Seems like a great date place (sadly I was there for work)

The hostess was amazing with the accommodations. The severs were attentive and provided excellent recommendations.

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. read more

Little Ned was the new name for the bar within the Nomad Hotel. Though it now might have been called something different, the dim lighting, dark wood, and library vibes were all still present. The atmosphere was classy, but in a cool, rather than intimidating, way. We met a colleague at the bar and nibbled on their spicy bar nuts and the fruit from their cheese plate, which also included crackers and truffle honey. While snacking, I ordered myself the Saguaro, which was one of the best cocktails I had ever had! It was a blend of Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila, Ilegal Mezcal, ancho reyes, lime, pineapple, pasilla agave, and tincture that somehow tasted much better than a typical spicy pineapple margarita. It was super well-balanced, sweet, smoky, spicy, and herbaceous. I would love to go back to Little Ned to try more of their food and beverage items, but also would happily rush back just for the Saguaro! read more

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! read more

Little Ned - Cute drinks with a small order of fries! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

Drinks of course are second to none, but food and service were exceptional as well. Worth the trip.

I needed a low key cocktail bar in the Flatiron area so I managed to find "Little Ned" which should be renamed to Hidden Ned . The entrance is very subtle but upon entering one is greeted with a cool speak easy! It has a nice bar area and wasn't too crowded which is always nice . I ordered a Barolo which was stellar and the bartenders were friendly and eager to serve . By the time I left it actually got crowded so arrive early ! It's a bit pricey but worth a go in Flatiron read more

We wandered into this spot early on a Saturday night and the vibes were immaculate - dark / trendy and would make for a good date night. The four of us were lucky enough to get seated without a reservation on their couches by the door. Sadly I wasn't drinking that night and ended up having 2 Phony Negronis. Honestly, not bad. Everyone else really seemed to enjoy their drinks and I'll be back on a different night. read more

I had a small birthday gathering of 6 people at Little Ned, and it was the perfect choice. My friends complimented the space and the drinks. They have two floors. The first floor has the main bar and some booths. The upstairs has some tables and couches for larger groups. We were seated at a couch with two sets of chairs, which was very comfortable for the group size. I really like the dark wood and the whole vibe of this place. I would highly recommend this place for a small gathering as it also wasn't overcrowded, and it was so easy to reserve. That's a huge win for a Saturday night in this part of town. The drinks were all fantastic. I enjoyed the Everything Martini, which comes with a mozzarella ball. Savory drink lovers will definitely enjoy this one. My second favorite drink of the night was the Saguaro. I really liked the smoky flavors of this one. This is especially great for mezcal and margarita lovers. The food was better than I was expecting. While I didn't try any of the main dishes, I had some fries and onion rings. I really enjoyed them, and we ended up ordering more before the end of the night. Overall, this was a wonderful choice for a birthday gathering. I would come back for sure. The birthday cookies they brought out at the end was a sweet touch. The only hiccup I had was our waiter went on break at one point and somehow our orders got forgotten. This was a forgiveable mistake though as the rest of the evening was just perfect. read more

We walked in on a Friday night with no reservation, and got a great booth in under 10 minutes -- it's a great spot for a last minute hang out! The decor hasn't changed much from when this used to be the Nomad Bar -- which I loved! So I was very pleasantly surprised. The drinks were really good -- I can't remember the name of the drink I got, and can't find it on the menu. It was a grasshopper variation with mint and chocolate. It tasted exactly like a Mint Chocolate ice cream, which was amazing. The service was actually a bit slow, which is why I'm giving a 4 star. We waiting for our drinks 30+ minutes. But everyone was super nice and we overall enjoyed the experience. read more

I have very fond memories of the nomad bar and it gave me great joy to know that there's a new bar that replaced it but it's almost as if it's the same one except with a different name . I enjoyed watching the bartenders or mixologist make drink concoctions. I just love the ambiance of this bar. There's the main floor and you can also sit on the 2nd floor with a full view of the bar. It's well lit ( dim but not too dark) and is spacious ( open and airy ) . The hostess was friendly and accommodating while the server was equally as good . read more
