Love the energy of this place! Really great vibes, super clean and well organized. I love the decor! I came in the middle of a hot day to grab one of their ice cream cocktail things. Definitely on the pricier side ($8) for an ice cream popsicle, but its NYC in Financial District so not really that surprising. The staff was really nice and helpful and made you feel comfortable and happy to be there. I got the espresso martini ice cream popsicle and my friend got the cassis & cream. Both were delicious and rich and creamy. It didn't really taste or feel like there was any alcohol in them tbh, but I didn't necessarily get it for that reason so I wasn't upset about that. I'll have to come back here sometime when the cocktail bar opens up! read more

Split Eights - Espresso martini ice cream bar! Delicious - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

A perfect place to start or end your evening. We were staying in the financial district which isn't exactly a hub of activity once the workday concludes but it is a great place to hop on a subway to anywhere in the city. My wife and I ended up at Split Eights to grab a cocktail before we ventured out into Brooklyn for dinner. A great example of keeping it simple. There is a bar and couple tables on the first floor and then a set of stairs up to a little balcony with a few more tables. Its a low lit room with a timeless woodgrain bar with black, white, and blue accents. We pulled up a seat at the bar and had a pair of wonderful cocktails and some friendly banter with our bartender. I actually ended up here a couple nights later with a friend for a night cap and had a similarly delightful experience. The best part had to be ordering the bartenders choice - I simply stated that I enjoyed spirit forward cocktails, typically with a rye whiskey or bourbon and I was served a "filthy rich" which I had never heard of before but it was an amazing drink to end the night. read more

Love this new bar in my neighborhood! It feels fancy but still casual, like you could come for a meeting over drinks or just drop in for happy hour with friends. They have a thoughtful and well-curated cocktail list, a little something for everyone. my absolute favorite thing to do here is to order the "bartender's choice." You tell your bartender what you're in the mood for and they will make you something totally original! This is perfect for us because I tend to like more spirit forward, dark liquor cocktails while my husband loves bright, tangy rum drinks. We have loved every cocktail we've ordered here! I especially suggest the butterscotch flip if you are stopping in for a nightcap, its rich and velvety but not too heavy, really a cool drink! We love stopping in for a couple drinks and olives or the cucumber salad before heading out for the night. It's also a coffee bar during the day but I haven't been in for coffee yet, I'm sure I'll be there for a latte someday soon! read more

It's a hidden gem and very romantic. I came here for pastries and they are very good and fresh. I strongly recommend.

Fun date night spot! Very cozy ambience and friendly staff. Lots of menu options. Walked in on a Saturday night!

Nice quiet place in FiDi for an afterwork or evening cocktail. Intimate setup with a great staff, and a good mixologist. Can make a great Negroni with bespoke vermouth! Hidden, but lovely. read more

This is the perfect place to get a drink after work or catch up with an old friend or coworker. It's quiet, relaxed -- you can actually have a full conversation and hear each other. The cocktail menu is excellent. I had the Arsenic & Old Lace (gin-based with absinthe), and it was exactly my taste. Clean and strong. My friend got the Clover Club, which seems to be a popular choice. It's a very pretty drink, foamy (egg whites) and raspberry red, with a star anise on top. It's great if you like your cocktails on the sweeter side. The place is bigger than it looks. There's upstairs seating, which I think can accommodate larger parties (a group of my coworkers came here once), but downstairs it's mostly just the bar and tables for two. read more

I came here with a friend to get some work done on a weekend afternoon and it was great! The staff was super kind and the coffee was good too. They have space on both levels which is nice too! Definitely recommend this spot for a coffee or a drink if you live in the area. read more

Great cocktail bar in Fidi area, coffee shop in the morning and then cocktails later in the day til 2 am. Stopped by here a couple of times after work with colleagues and had a great time! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area and need a chill place to unwind by yourself or with a group! read more

Cocktails are decent, what I enjoy is the subtle broooklyn-style small bar nestled into a corner that you don't know is there unless you know it. Good nightcap kind of place in FiDi, not too many of these around here! read more

Amazing place with beautiful (and tasty!) drinks. Came here on a Thursday night with a couple of my friends - I saw this place opened up recently and wanted to check it out. What a pleasant surprise. The service was great and our servers were all extremely friendly and nice. The drinks were phenomenal. You could tell everything was very carefully thought through, from the drink itself to the cup that came with each drink. The drink that really stood out to us was the Sage Old Buck - it had a beautiful balance of flavors and I loved the hint of vanilla that was both distinct but also complimentary to everything else. And the cup holding it was beautiful! We ended up having a lively chat with our table neighbors who also got the drink about how beautiful the cup was! My friends and I left the bar pleasantly buzzed and happy from our great experience. I really hope more people can give this place a try - they really deserve all the hype and buzz Yelp can give them! For anyone looking for a nice time to sit with friends and enjoy some good drinks and good company, I highly recommend Split Eights. read more

I stumbled across this bar and decided to stop in. Billy and Jess were there the evening and we got to kick it over their great drinks! I ordered a paper plane and cock n bull. Their glasses were cool af! The drinks were amazing! Their spirits selection were really good to. I loved the simplicity of the layout, and the down to earth vibe of the space. I will return back for Billy's good drinks! Billy is the man! Jess is cool as hell too! Great convos over cold drinks on a Wednesday, can't go wrong! read more

Great neighborhood spot! Drinks are creative and delicious. Super friendly staff with super chill vibes.

Split Eights - Paid Vacation (left) and Arsenic & Old Lace (right) (already sipped) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Tucked away on a quiet side street, this is one of the most beautiful small cafes in Manhattan. The owner is really kind and welcoming and the croissants are ah-mazing. I love the calm, luxe atmosphere and dark color palate. After 4pm it flips to a craft cocktail bar with unbeatable drinks. read more

Coffee and cocktails are both perfect, in a wonderful and quiet environment. Fast wifi makes working from the coffee shop easy by day. By night you'll be ready to sample from a perfectly curated menu of traditional and slightly less traditional cocktails, expertly mixed by a team that is clearly not new to the scene. read more

This place has so much potential however the bartenders are so rude. They have the weirdest attitude and don't make you feel welcomed at all. read more

Cozy place..did nit expect it to have good baked goods given it is mostly a bar/cocktail place, but it is always nice to be pleasantly surprised. It seems like a chill place to go after work for drinks. read more

I frequently passed Split Eights on my evening strolls and finally decided to strep inside. At nighttime, in bar form, the bartenders make incredible cocktails. I didn't even know I liked cocktails that much until I tried one of theirs. In the morning, it's a cozy coffee shop, with a strong, tasty drip coffee and a delicious butterscotch latte among other items. I'm hooked. The ambiance is cozy and clean. The bartenders (at night) and baristas (during the day) are extremely friendly. I've gone by myself each time and ended up talking to the employees or another patron for the duration. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

Stopped by here for a couple of drinks, and loved it! Such a nice, intimate spot, and easy to have a conversation in, versus multiple bars where I have to nod along and hope that context clues are enough for me to piece together the story. I had the driver's getaway, and then swapped to the bartender's choice. Loved what he made me! A vodka drink with orange blossom water and orange marmalade - it was tart, not too sweet and delightful. Great for people watching, and catching up. read more

Intimate cocktail bar. Good for date night, or with a group of people. The space is small and the music is light so it's not really a dancing spot. Great cocktails and great service though! read more

The bartender's choice will always be my choice at Split Eights. This is an item in their menu. They will ask you what base you prefer and ask you a couple of questions about your taste preferences. Based on your response they create a drink tailored to your taste and mood. The bartender's choice is so great because it gives you some control of what you're getting and at the same time creates mystery of the drink you will end up with. Ordering the bartender's choice is a little adventure. read more

I walked into this place last night, walked to the bar, picked up a menu to take a look, and the bartender snapped at me "please don't touch our stuff. Sit down and I'll help you", so I just left. I was just looking at a menu, hah. I've heard from others that the staff can be rude here also. read more

Perfect spot -- so happy to have this in the neighborhood. Cozy for coffee during the day or cocktails at night. Quality is high across the board and the service is top-notch. Experiment with the cocktail menu! Definitely some experts behind the bar and some of my repeat favorites have been combinations I wouldn't consider anywhere else. read more

Swanky but casual. Drinks are incredible, great date night, after-work drinks, catch up with the girls, spot.

I've been to this place a few times and found it a good neighborhood place to relax after work. However recently, although the bar was not crowded they asked me to move from a table to the bar counter as the tables are only for a party of 2 or more. I can understand if space was tight but it was not and unfortunately felt unwelcome. read more

BEST DAMN COCKTAILS PERIOD. Great coffee in the mornings, friendly servers, and a great chill vibe as well. All the reason's I've been coming back here. I've brought many different people here, and no one has ever left disappointed. P.S. their espresso martini's are top notch! read more

Amazing cocktails in a lovely space. Definitely recommend the bartenders choice and let Michael make magic for you.

Beautiful little coffee shop that turns into a bar at night. Cozy and friendly. Great drinks. Perfect.
