Drinks & Nightlife
Very sexy and cool ambience! Speakeasy / cocktail lounge with STRONG drinks and affordable prices. I recommend the "Bartender's Special" and the menu has an entire page dedicated to under $10 cocktails. Great music and a variety of delicious drinks. Great for couples and groups. Best kept secret in Manhattan!
