It was just us, but made it such a delightful time as we got to chat with the bartender. They have over 400 whiskeys including some you may not often find on the shelf. I ended up having the Peach Old Fashioned ($20), Indian Old Fashioned ($20), and Tiki Old Fashioned ($17) while the fiancé had a Jack Daniel's Single Barrel ($20) and Jack Daniel's Bonded ($9). All the drinks were right up our alley and thoroughly enjoyed. I did like the Peach one the most out of all the Old Fashioned I tried as I like my drinks strong and bold. To finish off, we were both intrigued by the Oban bottle and shared a 2oz glass as well. This was a pricey one, but such a fun time to experience and try. Definitely a new favorite bar of ours and looking forward to being back to try more whiskeys.

We loved the vibe and the cocktails were all incredible. Great selection. Most are $15-$16 (there's a small discount for cash) and everything we tried was very well balanced.

I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

I'm embarrassed to say Bar Laika has been around for seven or so years and it was only today after strolling down this block many times in the past decade that I took notice. But it was worth my previous obliviousness because I approached it with new eyes. Natural, smooth wooden bar, the less sleek mirrors above and a sort of mish mash of a menu ranging from sake to the aforementioned vareniki. An inviting backyard space that I didn't bother to explore as I nestled at the bar. I'm rather easy to please and happily sipped my seemingly odd but equally comforting pairing of Hakkaisan sake with dill covered potato dumplings. The two surprisingly worked well together. High ratings in my books and I'm looking forward to return.

The oxtail burger was excellent but you should really just get that straight from the source in the attached Atia restaurant rather than going here.

If possible to grab a spot I'd encourage you to grab a stool at the tiny bar and chat with the bartenders and see what they recommend, or order from the specialty menu--often twists on classics like the manhattan or the Negroni with seasonal or unique twists. And if you are a traditionalist, well... the straightforward old fashioned or martini here will still knock your socks off But honestly there's not a bad spot in here--or at the outside tables if weather allows. The vibes are immaculate--charming and intimate, calm but not reserved--just classy, classic fun, like a cocktail bar should feel. The service is friendly and drinks impeccable; the bartenders will even share some cocktail-making secrets if you ask them nicely. We've never failed to leave here delighted and (at minimum) pleasantly buzzed!
