Really cool bar in the chelsea neighborhood! I love the retro japanese vibes and the music is so good in here. Drinks and food were great but where I docked a star was the seating situation. All of the tables are communal which I personally do not like. I like having privacy in my conversations. The only seating that seems private is the bar which doesn't seem like you can reserve. Additionally I felt so bad for the people sitting in the giant communal table, the long log chair seems soo uncomfortable and was form over function decision read more

Stumbled upon this bar after dinner with friends that were visiting from out of town. We entered from the Chelsea Market entrance and the unassuming signage and hallway was what piqued my interest. Luckily they had a table for 8 when we arrived, but the place was quickly filled within the next hour. The izakaya had a lovely modern retro vibe with interesting bench seats that weren't the most comfortable. The Asian inspired drinks were all so enticing! My favorites include: Viewer Discretion Advised - sweet and tart Time After Time - fragrant, refreshing, and not too sweet Cafe Cafe - their take on the expresso martini They also offer food, but I didn't get a chance to try any. Will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Tucked away behind some plastic curtains through an alleyway, you'll find this meticulously styled Japanese-American bar/izakaya. Felt so distant from the rest of Chelsea Market, and only had a couple of patrons. I think the sneaky signage and path of entry deters many people, which I appreciate! We originally only stopped here for a drink as we had a dinner resy for Cull & Pistol down the way an hour later but their food menu looked too good to pass up. Ordered a few things to snack and sip on: Charred Broccoli skewer, Maitake mushroom skewer, Addictive Cabbage, DIY Toro Handroll, Blank Slate cocktail, Ebbs Pilsner beer, Unruly Pear cocktail The cabbage had a light dressing, asian style, was seed-heavy. Loved it. BF loved it x5! Unruly Pear cocktail: i thought it sucked and was flavorless but BF loved it. I enjoyed the sip I had of his "blank slate", though. And our food was hella flavorful. Great char/roast on the veggies, simple and clean execution on all of our dishes. The staff was super friendly, ready to explain items we ordered. They did a great job with clearing things as needed and keeping water cups full. Truly loved our experience and that we decided to pop in here. Would definitely return for a lowkey, moody evening! read more

stumbled on this Japanese cocktail bar located in NYC's vibrant Meatpacking District. I entered from Chelsea market only because it seemed hidden and I was curious!!! You had to walk through what looks like an alleyway to reach the bar. Perfect name by the way. They offer small bites, Japanese-inspired cocktails crafted by expert mixologists as well as amazing sake! My server was so very helpful. She recommended the Isojiman Shuzo sake based on what I typically drink and it was delicious. The space is beautifully designed and captures the essence of Japanese minimalism. The menu was cute with a nod to the past...old records. Mine was Lisa Lisa All Cried out!!! One of my fav songs. Check it out! Cool discs and vibes. read more

I'm almost afraid to give this place five stars because I don't want anyone else to know about it lol. We discovered this place while hopping around New York City to different speakeasies. I noticed that the reviews were really good even though the picture seemed very non-descriptive. Everyone kept saying that it had such a great vibe so we decided to check it out. It was one of the best nights I've ever had With my friends. I definitely recommend it. The drinks are amazing and the food is incredible. The seating is a little uncomfortable, bench seating. I think they don't want you to stay all night? lol totally worth it. I definitely will keep coming back. They had the best music playing the whole time and the vibe was absolutely incredible. read more

The sliders were really yummy and the nonalcoholic drink was good to,,, all the other food was good but nothing crazy, I thin maybe their drinks would be really good. The happy hour menu was truly not anything much cheaper and at 6:30 pm on a Friday they were out of one of the drinks (the one similar to an espresso Martini). It was yummy, would go back, could imagine it to be good for a date night for the vibes and it wasn't too loud! read more

A hidden gem! Excellent in every way from ambiance to food and service! A must do in NYC! We were visiting from Hawaii -- lots of good izakaya places, but this place was exceptional. Try the karaage and mentaiko mac n cheese! read more

Came here with a few friends for drinks and appetizers. I wish I had snapped some photos of the food, but it was so good, it was gone in minutes. I'll be quicker next time. The drinks were super standout to me; they're all very unique and unlike any others I've ever had. Definitely peruse the cocktail menu if you're looking for something new and exciting! Get there before 7 for happy hour. Great ambience with a vinyl record wall and DJ. Excellent vibes and the volume at around 7 pm was low enough that you could still gods w your friends without losing your voice. Highly recommend. read more

Love this place! Great new bar inside Chelsea Market with a very cool looking interior. Came after dinner so was too full to try the food though the food options looked amazing. Cocktails were fantastic. Huge shout out to Lee, the best bartender ever. Will definitely return for Lee's amazing drinks and to try the food options! read more

Had the most PERFECT experience here on a Thursday night around 10pm! Absolutely no wait, not even half full, just walked right in. The vibiest place ever with amazing music from the DJ i was shazam'ing all night. We got the raw octopus and two cocktails, and some lychee shots (i forgot the names!) they were delicious I wish I had room for more! The service was amazing every worker was so sweet and our server Seoul was the best! Super personable and genuine- 100% would come back. read more

Great cocktails and decent food but the atmosphere is insane. They blast extremely loud music, the seats are super uncomfortable, and the wait staff all act snooty like it's an honor for you to go to this trendy bar. Kind of cool to visit once but might not come back again. I could hardly hear my friend and still lost my voice. read more

Really cute spot nestled into Chelsea Market. Their speaker system is awesome and the cocktails are lovely!

Good place to walk in at the end of the night considering it's open pretty late for the area. The cocktails were way too sweet, and they didn't have much notes other than sweet. Got a viewer discretion advised. The Thai tea flavor was very prominent. However, I couldn't taste the other notes stated in the drink. The drink was sweet itself, and the egg white just made it even sweeter. I wanted more lemon flavor to cut through it. The other drink I tried was the morning glory. It was a little less sweet until you got to the end. The sugar seemed to have sunk all the way to the bottom. The cream was nice, provided a contrast to the drink. The service was nice, but the drinks weren't great enough for me to want to return. read more

Such a cute spot in Chelsea market! I loved the underground & secretive vibes. The food was phenomenal but the drinks were alright. Our fave dishes were the chicken thigh skewers, the gyudon, and the raw squid with fresh wasabi. Fair warning here that the benches at the tables are thin, so your bum might go numb in 30 min! Not the most comfortable setup but works just enough. read more

Not a bad bar to spend the night with friends if you find yourself wandering around the area. Aesthetically captures the retro-Japanese vibes, with some cool vinyls decorated around the bar. They had a plethora of Asian inspired cocktails that you could choose from. Kitchen opens until 10 p.m., so we ordered a bunch of snacks. Addictive cabbage lived up to its name and I would recommend you try it. The bar fills up quickly. You can get a reservation online beforehand. read more

Recommend the Hokkaido milk cream drink! Also chatted a bit with the owner and love their origin story. Would return to try some small bites

Came to check out this hidden gem. Love the interior design and the vibe. You can scan the QR code on the vinyl, they serve cocktails and Izakaya food. We just came here for the drinks, they tasted good but on the pricey side. The bar seats are comfortable, great for a casual catch up with friends. The bartender was friendly, not very chatty but patiently walked us through the drinks. Will definitely come back and check out the food. read more

NBetween is just a vibe. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with these chill speakeasy vibes--the red hue is so dope and instantly sets the mood. Their old school Japanese hip hop playlist? Absolute fire. It's the kind of spot where you want to hang with friends after dinner, grab a seriously good drink, and soak in the atmosphere. Every detail feels curated for people who love Japan and that low-key, deep culture. Drinks don't miss either--everything I've tried has been legit. Super chill, highly recommended for anyone who wants something fresh in NYC. read more

This place was very cool. We were greeted with a warm welcome . When I tell you the drinks are superb I mean it . And so is the food . My only complaint was our bartender she was not pleasant at all, but we didn't let that ruin our experience. For drinks order the viewer discretion advised, so yummy! For food we did the flatiron steak skewers and ebi fry , which is fried shrimp. Everything was fresh and delicious! We order quite a few of the steak skewers lol. The set up and decor is unique. I love it . Can't wait to go back. read more

Small Japanese themed speakeasy opened in April'24 at the back of Chelsea Market next to tippler with nice cocktails, cool vibes, din lighting and a great collection of vinyls. They also serve small bites to order and enjoy with drinks. We went on Saturday Eve 5ish and it was full - they have bar seating and tables with narrow bars to sit which might not be comfortable for all to sit for long. We sat at the bar, ordered few cocktails - bartender was very knowledgeable and explained the ingredients the flavor profile. Hostess was very polite and helped us with figuring out the seating. Overall, a nice place to have few drinks. read more

Intimate cocktail bar nestled within Chelsea Market. Layout reminiscent of a record lounge. After dinner at Maki a Mano, take your date or group of friends for après dinner drinks. Dimly lit, cool lofi, or sensual jazz on the airwaves. Booths seat 4 comfortably. Cocktails are expertly handcrafted. There's a drink for each person's flavor palette. For sweet and lovers of Thai iced tea: Viewer's Discretion Advised. For margarita adorers seeking refreshing sips: Blank Slate. The wasabi salt is an exquisite touch. read more

Wish this was closer to my apt so I could be a regular! Such a sexy vibe with incredible drinks. We tried three or four different ones, and all were delicious and well made. Playlist that was going in the bar was top notch to where we asked if the playlist was public to download. Highly recommend for a date night or a few friends grabbing drinks to catch up. read more

Came here with my cousin on his 40th birthday because he saw this place on IG. We thought be great place to start off and have a few drink to start the night. The hostess is pretty cool and the staff is very nice. We came as a party of 3 because someone dropped out so we ended up sharing a table with two strangers. My cousin ordered viewer discretion advised he said that was a solid drink and not too strong Me and my cousin's friend ordered the Gift from Koto. This drink is actually very good except for that the bulk of it is a big chunk of ice that they put in a tea like cup (see photo). For $20 it's not worth it. We thought we order another drink but the waitress never returned to see if we would like anything else. The food here is excellent everything seems to be generous portions and delicious. Everyone loved their food. My cousin raved their Mentaiko Mac. I got the salmon don which was nice sized cuts of salmon on rice in a bowl. I probably could have ate two these it was so good. The couple sitting with us wanted to order more but same thing waitress never checked in. By the time she did the couple asked for their check. After she checked them out we asked for ours. N between is a nice cool spot but don't waste your money coming here unless it's just for IG photos. read more

A cozy Japanese bar with a charming retro vibe inside Chelsea Market. The cocktails were fantastic, and the portions were generous enough for sharing (we had the chicken karaage, tots, and mac and cheese). While these dishes are usually a safe bet, they were tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive. It would be great if they played more Japanese jazz or '80s music. They do accept walk-ins, but making a reservation is advisable, especially on weekends, to ensure you get a spot. read more
