Came for Halloween Eve happy hour and the girls and I were soooo happy. It was perfectly decorated, all the staff were in costume and the music was so good. The vibes were 10/10 Already have reservations to come back!
Stopped in as we were drawn to the happy hour sign. The martinis were $15 during HH, so I got a cosmic cranberry, which was similar to a cosmo. The regular cocktails were around $18 - pretty standard for the NYC cocktail scene. We split a French Dip, which was the perfect portion for two, melted in our mouths. The décor was very pretty and cute! Despite sitting at the bar, the service was a bit of a hit and miss...
Really fun spot, well decorated space. Me and two friends were sat by the window and had a great time trying the various cocktails. The martinis were a hit. Things came out quickly too but occasionally drinks got mixed up (gin vs vodka martinis).
We came for the espresso martini and stayed for the "short kings in a blanket". The espresso martini was FANTASTIC! Best I've had in a while. It was very flavorful and so smooth and velvety. We also got "BB's first cocktail" which was a great lighter drink afterwards. The service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is so chic and cute inside. Truly immaculate vibes all around.
Monday Happy hour!!! Happy martini monday lovely people of yelp! this is a great bar to celebrate. I liked the dirty martini and the cosmic cranberry :)
We walked in for drinks and sat at the bar. The vibe is fun with modern accents and a disco ball. It wasn't too loud. They have many interesting cocktails. I got the lavender lemon drop which had lavender sugar and many other fragrant components.
Shy Shy is from the same people behind Jungle Bird, another reliable bar in Chelsea. Some coworkers and I came for happy hour and I tried: + Sauvignon Blanc + Espressotini + Dirty martini + French onion labneh + Fries Labneh was the food highlight. Overall the drinks weren't anything special, but the prices are good and you can do worse in this area.
the bar itself is gorgeous and perfect for a girls night. their happy hour goes til 7 which is pretty good, but you definitely need a res. their drinks are good but they don't have a ton of great happy hour food items. the dirty martini is cute, but the cosmo is a lot tastier. drinks come out quick
We came here at 4pm on a Wednesday and it was PACKED! Definitely recommend making a reservation if you can. The interior is really nicely decorated. There is one handicap accessible restroom on the main floor, the rest are down a steep flight of stairs to the basement. The happy hour menu is *extremely* limited but the prices are good if it has something you like - such as $5 beers, $5 French fries. The fries were drenched in garlic which was great for taste but not a good option if you're on a date or going out afterwards. There is no option for any red wine on the happy hour menu, which was strange. Most wines are $15-$20. Could not give it a better review because the bar staff using the glass washing station were an absolute mess. We - as well as the people sitting next to us - were quite literally getting splashed as the bartender was flipping glasses over after using the rinser without drying them so any water in the bowl was splashing everywhere. Every few minutes he would run a bar rag over the puddles that were on the stone, on the menus, splashing all over people's cell phones that they placed on the bar. He was also storing clean glasses on the bar top rather than behind or under the bar, limiting the space patrons had for drinks or food plates.
I've been here a few times and each time has been a lovely experience! First, the interior is beautiful and spacious. It's a perfect spot for a girls night or day ;) and even date night! Service is friendly and attentive. They have happy hour martinis and fries -- two of my favorite things! I love how they keep the martinis chilled in ice for optimal taste. The attention to detail is amazing here! It's definitely one of my go to spots for drinks.
I came here with one of my friends one evening to catch up and just grab drinks. The interior of the space is dimly lit, romantic, and has cute decor. Service was kind and pretty quick with both food and drinks. I just got a glass of wine, while my friend got a dirty martini and a caesar salad. I loved my wine, and I would definitely come back to their other wines. My friend enjoyed the salad, but unfortunately found out that day that dirty martinis are not her thing haha. Fortunately, the staff was so kind and we were able to get a different drink for her. Prices are reasonable here, and food is solid. I would just note that this place does get pretty packed and it CAN get hard to hear whoever you're with if you're sitting at a table as they're so close together (I felt like I was yelling half the time). But nonetheless, a cute spot with good drinks.
New addition to the neighborhood behind Jungle Bird. Interesting cocktail menu but they are all batched so adjustment isn't possible. (I prefer less sweet usually)... Martini was great, enough savory yet balanced. Tried the Dip during HH which the waitress strongly recommended - French Onion dip, yet it tastes more like dill and artichoke in sour cream, didn't love it. Feel like just fridge cleaning sell. It was heavy. Other than the bites, cute place to visit.
I came here during their happy hour with my friend and was greeted kindly by the hostess and sat immediately. We had to make a reservation as this seems to be a pretty popular spot. The interior is very cute!! I recommend this spot for going out for a quick drink with your girlfriends, the drinks we ordered both tasted very good :)!

I loveeee Shy Shy! They updated their menu the last time I was here. They removed the Heated Rivalry and Call Your Girlfriend drink. I got the Jolene drink instead and I liked it! Refreshing and not too sweet. My friend and I also shared a Caesar salad and added ck ($8 for 2 skewers). Shoutout to Maddy for the great service and chatting with us! read more
Went to a private event at Shy Shy, a cocktail bar on 8th Avenue in Chelsea and entire bar was closed for the event. The bar is a good size, with a long and narrow layout. There is some seating at the front facing the street, a long marble bar, high-top tables opposite the bar, and standard tables toward the back. The design feels modern and polished, with warm lighting, muted colors, gold accents, and an overall upscale atmosphere. For the event, they were serving a Dirty Martini and a Lavender Haze. I tried the Lavender Haze, which was enjoyable and refreshing, made with lemon vodka, violet aperitif, and lavender cordial. The staff was friendly and efficient, keeping drinks flowing throughout the evening. Cocktails are around $19, which is fairly typical for the area. The menu includes some creative martini options, and there is also a food menu featuring mostly lighter fare, although no food was served during the event. I would recommend Shy Shy for drinks with friends, a date night, or as the starting point for a night out in Chelsea. The space is stylish, the cocktails are well made, and the service was good. read more

Wanted to try ShyShy since it opened! Stopped in on a Sunday night. It was pretty crowded and lively. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a high top table. The entrance is accessible. They have one accessible bathroom on the ground floor and more bathrooms down a flight of stairs. We both had a Caesar salad martini which was pretty good. They serve it with a piece of lettuce with an anchovy on it. I'm a vegetarian so I did not eat the anchovy and gave it to my friend. The martini itself has a peppery vibe and was refreshing. We shared deviled eggs. They were a classic deviled egg with no frills. They only give you 3 though - wish they gave you 4 for an even split. Overall, the service was good and attentive and the place had a great vibe. I would come back and try another kind of drink! read more
Came here for happy hour which is M-F until 7pm and omg i absolutely loved it! The space is super cute and relatively spacious with both regaular and bar seating available. My friend and I both got the dirty martini and it was delicious, 100% would be back for happy hour here! I do reccommend making a reservation, especially if you're trying to come for HH as it does get packed but it's a must try! read more

A GREAT find in Chelsea! Inside was very chic. We went for happy hour and got the fries, mozzarella balls, fried olives, and of course a round (or a few) of cocktails. Highly recommend for someone looking for a nice sit down cocktail bar! read more
Overall rating: 4.65 I saw this place on the Tok & it's really cute. It's very spacious! Which is always my big fear when it comes to cute. The bartender was really nice and I enjoyed my cocktail, but wow, the music was so loud! Loud enough, that I wonder if I was there on a date - we wouldn't be able to hear ourselves. It screams a date place so I'm not ready to discount it yet. If I'm in the area & im looking to go out, I usualllly default to Jungle Bird across the street. But def adding this to my rotation! read more

Was looking into places to pop into for a drink before a dinner reservation, super happy I landed upon Shy Shy. They have a great happy hour and my the Cosmic Cranberry cocktail with a splash of grapefruit was refreshing and delicious. Didn't have any food but the menu looked amazing and will be back to try it. This place gives me unfussy cocktail bar with an airy beachy california-esque vibe. read more
Went to try the infamous Caesar Salad Martini. The martini is served with a little skewer of romaine lettuce, anchovy, and dressing as a side bite to bring out the flavor of the cocktail. The deviled eggs were good. The bar was hopping but there were a couple free tables so we didn't need to wait. Service was speedy. I would go back again to try a different drink. read more

Cocktails were great. We had the espresso martini and oh so dirty dirty martini and both were delish. The space is brand new and huge. I'm not usually in this part of the city at night but will definitely keep it in mind if I am. read more
