    Love this cozy spot. I've not been here during daytime yet but few times at night for cocktails. I used to love their nori/soy cocktail that's no longer on the menu, wish they could bring it back! Bartenders are fun, chatty, friendly, making the experience more fun

    Great little place to have some cocktails. There aren't a lot to choose from which I love because it cuts down on the stress of what to order. I got the butterscotch flip and the cock n bull special, both excellently made. Our server was great. She was knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. They also have beer and wine. If you're looking for some food look elsewhere theres only three tiny items on the menu.

    I don't associate anything cool with FiDi, but this cocktail bar is as cool as any spot you'd find in the East Village, with expertly made drinks, sleek decor, and partnerships with trendy businesses like Morgenstern's and Momofuku. While a place like this could probably command a full crowd and waitlists in another neighborhood, probably due to its location its quite easy to breeze on in, even as a large group. We had drinks made with pebble ice, drinks with egg whites, egg yolks, and even vadouvan curry. 3 out of 4 of our drinks were excellent, with one dud, but I'll take that ratio-- especially since the vibes were on point. My only regret is not trying one of their cocktail ice cream treats that is part of their Morgenstern's collab. Split Eights is also a coffee shop by day, so if their wifi is strong this would be a great place to post up for work on a Friday afternoon and transition easily to happy hour.

    Came here for a nightcap. Nice, clean space and friendly staff. I had wine, but I think my hubs had cocktails? We also shared olives. It was a nice ending to our evening!

    We loved this place! So cute and cozy with warm lighting. The cocktails are fantastic at night. We had a yummy drink with their homemade butterscotch. We sat at the bar and service was fast and polite.

    My nephew took my friend and I for a drink to his favorite bar Split Eights for a late night drink. We visited on Wednesday, 10/4/23. It was a quiet dimly lit place where it is easy to socialize after work or if you are just visiting in town like us. The service is fast, the drinks also hit the spot. I enjoyed the Creole Daquiri composed of aged rum, mezcal, lime, chorizo, and pomegranate. It was smooth to the taste. My nephew ordered the Tompkins Square that incorporated rye, kirsch, Maurin Quina, Benedictine, and allspice. I tried it and it had a smokiness to it. Overall, we enjoyed our late night spirits at Split Eights. It is a great bar to visit if you are ever in the area.

    Absolutely amazing cocktails at this little spot in FiDi. They have an ever-changing menu of delightfully unique cocktails with exotic ingredients. Bartenders are friendly and skillful, they are quick with bringing water although they can get a bit overworked when it's full. Their espresso martini was delightful, as expected from a coffee and cocktail bar. The indoor seating space is relatively comfortable even though the space is small.

    Clover Club, tasty

    Cozy laid back cocktails place. Not crowded at all when I went. Dim and intimate, but also ok for groups. Neighborhood bar vibe. Delicious drinks - not too strong. Lots that I wanted to try from the menu. A bit under the radar which is always a good thing in a bar according to me. Coffee place during the day. Like Kobrick.

    Clover club- delicious!
    Jenny L.

    Food: ordered two cocktails here with a group of my girl friends and we all enjoyed our cocktails! The flavors were all fairly unique and the garnishment was very detailed. I had the Clover Club (gin and egg whites are my favorite) along with ZZs iced coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my drinks and would definitely come back here again if I'm around the area. Cost: the cocktails were all $16 each isn't the most wallet friendly but still fairly decent for the city. Environment: the inside was very cozy feeling. The place also seemed to have an upstairs however I have not gone up to check, I would just see the waitress bring up drinks. Service: sat along the bar with my friends and the bartender was very attentive. Also all the staff here worked very well together- our empty glasses would be cleared promptly and the nice team work between them was noticed. Uniqueness: Found this place on a whim and I'm glad I did! Originally chose this place because the establishment offered coffee but once I arrived I realized they did coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening. Can't wait to come back here to try their coffee too!

    Fantastic cocktail bar! Came across this hidden gem on our last NYC visit. We had the upstairs to ourselves and it made for a great intimate setting. The drinks were excellent and on par with some of the best cocktail bars in NYC. The only thing to note is that they do not have a kitchen so there is no real food menu. But come for the drinks!

    Lonely Bird
    Vicky P.

    Loved this spot for cocktails with friends. The Lonely bird was very good and loved the pebbled ice. The other cocktails were also quite good. There was one that had Thai chili and it was a great spice.

    Chambers - Little gem salad

    Chambers

    Civic Center, TriBeCa

    I had a great experience at Chambers and can't wait to return to try more of their seasonal menu!…read moreThe restaurant has a lovely ambiance that feels upscale yet inviting and intimate. While I can't comment on the wine list personally, I know they are well-known for their extensive selection. After placing our order, we were delivered the sesame pizza bianca, which is a complimentary starter bread with dinner. The bread was a nice size and light and airy with a perfect crust and a delicious, crusty sesame seed bottom. The prawns were our starter and came three to a dish. They were sizable, though since they are served with the head and tail, there isn't a ton of meat on them. That said, they were flavorful and juicy with a nice sauce and just the right amount of spice that didn't overwhelm the fish. The snowdance chicken was the star of the show! It was incredibly juicy and tender with perfectly prepared skin, so I was happy to learn they keep this on the menu year-round. It was topped with some spinach that was solid, though nothing special. We also ordered a side of mushrooms which came with a creamy sauce and fish roe intended to be mixed at the table. The roe wasn't fishy at all but added a great element of umami to the flavorful, well-textured mushrooms. Overall, the service was very professional, though I thought the pacing could have been improved as the dishes came out a bit slowly. I would also recommend ordering at least two dishes per person, as the three plates we shared between two people felt like just a touch too little food. I'm already looking forward to going back--I'd try the winter chicories salad or the veal sweetbreads next time, but I'm open to exploring everything since the quality is so high. I noticed a side dish listed on their online menu that wasn't actually offered in person, so it might be worth double-checking if you have your heart set on a specific item.

    I was really impressed with all the dishes and can't believe I haven't heard of this place…read moreearlier?! I made reservations after seeing their special hot chocolate on social media and had a wonderful meal! Started off with the hiramasa which was fresh and went deliciously well with the citrus-y and sweet cara cara orange, as well as the aji peppers! The castelfranco chickory salad was fresh, crunchy, slightly creamy and slightly tangy - basically everything you need in an appetizing salad! Their house sesame bread was fluffy and chewy with a good amount of sesame flavor without having too many seeds. For mains, the farfelle was very interesting and tasty! The pasta was al dente and the sauce was addicting! At first I was wondering if it would resemble a nut butter, but it was creamy with very prominent walnut flavors and interesting texture (perhaps from the blended walnut skin component?). The addition of burrata and other cheeses was perfect for a cheese-lover like me. The pork chop was flavorful, well-seasoned, and juicy. The leek and cabbage mixture soaked up all the sauce and I wish there was more! Their special hot chocolate with an espresso martini marshmallow was fire!!!! Hot chocolate was decadent, not too thick, and not too sweet. The toasted marshmallow melted quickly but definitely had coffee and alcohol flavors. The amount per serving doesn't appear a lot but appropriate considering how rich it is. The mascarpone dessert had a great balance of fluffy cream, extremely crispy phyllo, and crunchy nuts with a touch of chocolate and vanilla! For drinks, I was really curious about the bi lemongrass but they ran out. Staff recommended the semiplume, which felt like a beer, tea, and sparkling wine all at once! Loved the floral aroma and bitter tea notes. My partner's cocktails were also well executed. Staff were nice and friendly. We got seats right by the kitchen so staff often checked in with us, including the chef!! Vibes were intimate with the dim lighting and minimalist decor. Definitely want to come back to check out their chicken and other dishes!!

He is the best mixologist in NYC. He danced with lemon slices cutting through pours of clear liquids from heights. He tossed and shook, and was precise and caring. A true artist. David made our night. The only reason I would ever walk back into this place is to sit at the bar and let David mesmerize me. FOOD: Broccoli rabe was fresh, but I needed a steak knife to cut through it. It was very al dente. Not cut properly, which is to cut crosses in the stems. Salad was fresh and crisp, high quality fennel and greens. Lovely. Agnoletti was divine. Home made. Focaccia very good with subtle flavors and just the right crust. Olive oil, good. The front of house staff was lovely, two ladies, and a friendly guy. Super lovely. Treated us like friends. Also the busboys were all gentlemen. I loved them. They brushed crumbs off the table with panache. The only complaint is the waiter was robotic, and issued rule after rule. No smile. EX: It was a freezing night. We wanted to order appetizer's first, and have a chance to look at the menu. He couldn't do that. "I need the whole order." Then one of us wanted to order the pre fixe dinner. "You can't do that. You both have to order it." He was very cold, a robot. To enjoy ourselves, we had to push through the horrible treatment. Too bad for the waiter, when I asked about the special pasta, he butchered the pronunciation, giving me a soft pitch to teach him Italian. I blasted him. C'est la vie.
