    hype man (matcha, tequila, peach & apricot)
    Gabby G.

    Hosted a work event at the Tippler and Nick was incredibly attentive with our large party. It wasn't too busy on a Wednesday evening. We could hear everyone at the table. Our appetizers included a few rounds of chips & salsa as well as tiny chicken strips, onion rings, pizza bites and spinach/cheese philo pastries. I highly recommend the frozen margaritas (I had a mango lime) and the hype man which is a matcha, tequila, peach and apricot cocktail.

    Cool drink spot under Chelsea Market - arched ceilings, exposed brick walls, dim lighting, cool crowd, and nice ambiance. The cocktails were good and the staff was friendly. They have couple of option for small plates but allow outside food. I went on a Wednesday night with group of friends and got seated right away. We ordered 2 rounds of cocktails - some cocktails were pretty potent but we'll balanced. Definitely recommend this place for date nights and hangout with friends.

    The Tippler is located at the Chelsea Market but is not accessible via the inside. To get here, go near Los Tacos No. 1 and find the "open" sign. Then go downstairs and you'll see it. On the inside is a cool vibe with lots of brick everywhere as it's located in a cellar. My first drink was the crown juul ($16) which was an old fashioned with a sweet vanilla flavor. My second drink was the golden hour ($16) and they were right in that they are crushable. I literally finished the drink in 5 minutes and then proceeded to order another. It was delicious and if you only get one drink here, make sure it's the golden hour. I enjoyed the dimly lit speakeasy vibe. It was chill which was a stark contrast with the busy NYC streets just outside. Two words to remember: golden hour.

    I came here for drinks before a show at Little Island. It's technically located inside Chelsea Market, but they have a street entrance on 15th street for easy access. The bar is below ground and has brick walls and a dark, low key vibe. You kind of feel like you're in a cozy cave. The day we came, they had a special on shots with Jäegermeister and cranberry juice. These were super sweet and kind of tasted like cough syrup. They were quite strong though, which isn't always the case with mixed shots. I also tried the Green With Envy cocktail. It's described as a "healthy Moscow Mule" and this was fairly accurate. The green juice came through in full force and it was very vegetal. This might be a nice alternative to a Bloody Mary and could be a good brunch cocktail, but it wasn't my favorite for an evening drink. My sister got the It Was All a Dream cocktail. It was a little too sweet and the passionfruit in it didn't really come through. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Definitely a recommended spot for groups or date night.

    Really cute bar in a cellar near Chelsea Market!! Max capacity inside is still currently limited, so unfortunately you most likely will have to wait in a line outside. Once inside, there is lots of standing room at the bar, and several tables scattered throughout (you can order from either). Did not try any of the food, menu was quite limited, but the cocktails were delicious and were reasonably priced (for NY). "The Vibe" was their take on a margarita (my favorite), which contained two types of tequila, falernum (syrup), agave and lime- was not too sweet or too bitter. Would return here for drinks 100%!

    The drinks were quite mid but it wasn't bad for stumbling upon this place on a random Wednesday evening. The pretzel was actually quite good haha and we also ordered some chips which were quite stale.

    Margarita for the win!

    Very cool little speakeasy bar, loved the vibe and the drink options. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the waitress brought our friend a special shot for her bachelorette party. Probably one of my favorite bars we visited! Would absolutely return :)

    I came on a Saturday at 8PM. It wasn't too busy yet and friends were able to snag a table. The cocktails taste good and are decently strong. Decor is nice. I wish they had more food and snacks but they only offer pretzels and chips with salsa. The food menu led to another restaurant and I'm not sure how that delivery/pickup would work. The food by Chelsea market isn't open late. I tried "it was all a dream" on the regular cocktail menu and also the special cocktail of the day. Friends like this place. You can grab glasses of water yourself. As it got later, it got pretty loud.

    Best speakeasy under Chelsea market, we went Friday before dinner for a quick drink and it was nice and empty. We got a table easily to grab some cocktails. Highly recommend their espresso martini!

    A fun underground bar near the Chelsea market area! Opens up at 5pm, is definitely a great vibe towards the weekend. Drinks are fantastic and staff is amazing!

    This place can be a little tricky to find as it's outside the Chelsea Market but you actually have to go down a flight of stairs on the side to get there. The place wasn't too crowded though we had to stand for a bit before we got some seating. That being said it was very spacious, though that could just be because we were there on a weekday. Drinks were decent but nothing too special, given the city has so many great bars with amazing options.

    Yes. It's big. The cocktails are good. It's close to food if you either eat before or finish your drinks early. You feel me?

    How difficult would it be to get in on a Saturday night with a group of 11?

    Shouldn't be difficult if y'all all arrive as soon as doors open. That place is not that big and can get cramped pretty quickly.

    Is there good dancing music?

    No...good music..but not really for dancing - atleast on a weekday when I visited.

    $15 cocktails equates to a $$ pricing classification? How much are cocktails at a $$$$ bar, $25?

    A cocktail at the $25 range would still equate to "$$" The scale is: $= under $10; $$=11–30; $$$=31–60; $$$$= over $61...… Read more

    Is there a dress code, or is smart casual ok?

    No dress code. :)

City Winery is a great venue that showcases great talent with great staff, however, there are a few tips & tricks you must be prepared for to fully enjoy your experience. 1. Come early. Seating is somewhat first come, first serve. My most recent experience was at the sold out show for Teedra Moses. My tickets were purchased off a waitlist, therefore my original seat was at a high top located against the wall, with another couple. It was not comfortable at all. I politely asked our server for another seating option which she hesitantly obliged given our early arrival. I also purchased a bottle of wine, which our server was not aware of. Being early allowed us to place our order and hash this out without disruption to the show. 2. You will be sat with another party unless you come with a party of 4 or more. 3. I typically dine elsewhere prior to or after the show. The menu is not heavy, plus it is challenging to enjoy the show while eating. All in City Winery is spectacular for what it is. The main takeaway is to plan ahead.

I came in on a Wednesday night at 8pm, it was empty and we were seated right away. The entire store and bar is very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. There's 3 floors, the bottom floor which located another bar, the main floor which is street level and has the coffee bar and merch, and the top floor which included the Arriviamo Bar. Our server was very nice but didn't catch his name. We couldn't choose which drinks to get so we settled on the espresso martini flight which includes their espresso martini, double matcha espresso margarita, and ube espresso martini. * Espresso martini: tasted good, foam was perfect sweetness, can barely taste the alcohol * Double matcha margarita: good, matcha foam was good, you can definitely taste the tequila in this but they seem to use good tequila * Ube martini: nice sweet drink, but doesn't taste like ube at all (to be expected, but the ube cold foam on their regular coffee drinks has more of a hint of ube than this drink does) * Matcha butterfly pea swirl cake: has a nice dense texture, light taste of matcha, butterfly pea cream also has a thick creamy texture and a very light taste, perfect snack for a drink with a strong taste Overall good experience, would definitely be back to try the other drinks here and downstairs.

However the drinks were made well and tasted great. Loved the ube cloud drink the most. Overall a pleasant experience but nothing that wow'd me. I'd stop by to experience it at least once.

It was a fabulous setup with beautiful strung up lights lining the ceiling. While we waited to be seated we were given glasses of sparkling white wine. Our waiter told us that the space for the JBF LTD was donated by one of the JBF board members. Very cool. Eventually, we were seated at our communal table and were given a green garden gazpacho to start. It had pickled green strawberries which were surprisingly very good. Usually you throw the green strawberries out of the bunch and only eat the red ripe ones. David Kinch opened our eyes to eating this unripened fruit and I will never look at green strawberries the same! The soup was paired with vegetable beignets and a crispy vegetable chip - both were just perfect. Our next course was my girlfriend's favorite - an abalone salad nestled on a bed of romaine lettuce coupled with grilled cucumbers and an avocado-nori sauce. I loved the avocado-nori sauce with the tender abalone. The entree came next and was a succulent porcelet with the best crispy pork skins! It was served communal style which was kind of cool. There were two cuts of meat - belly and tenderloin. My favorite part was the skins. Dessert was a lovely popover with powdered sugar. Sweet, simple, and delicious. We had different wine pairings with each course and were semi-tipsy by then end of the meal. The best treat of the night was when David Kinch and John Paul Carmona came out and greeted the diners. They were both kind enough to sign my copy of the menu also. I'll be on the watch out for next years JBF pop up!

A mid-80s Mets obsessive who yearns for the days of Mookie Wilson and Bob Murphy, I haven't kept up with baseball so much in recent years. That all-star game tie and DH in the NL didn't appeal to me so much. Game 7 of the World Series provided an opportunity for me to be a "normal American" and watch the game at the bar. But I didn't want to buy $80 of drinks so I figured I'd try for inning 6 and beyond and get the finale. So the plan was Cork City for part and maybe another for the ending. The game was on many TVs, caught that cool double play. The sound was on but the talking kind of drowned it out, which seemed less than ideal. However, after I left, none of the 30-ish bars I walked past even had the sound on! So much for all the "sports bars" in this town. (To be fair: it was Halloween weekend, and business decisions to appeal to 20-something women in lingerie and their admirers may have been a factor). After going to 14th and back I was ready to enjoy extra innings at Cork City. But they were at capacity. Game Over. Yes, I'm copping to my inexperience in Hoboken bar-going. Turns out Cork City offered the best baseball experience in town. As for the bar itself, I enjoyed the Peach Fuzz cider from Pennings. The service was friendly. I'll try again on an off-peak night. My plan didn't work out but at least I got some steps in and learned that many sports fans are liars.
