Reviews
We came here for the Frankenstein Lab pop up bar sponsored by Bucket Listers. I cannot comment on the food/drink quality of the main restaurant because we did not try it. The person working the front door was kind of dismissive but we didn't have to interact with them other than checking in and getting a drink ticket. I have never been here before and the place is huge. There is a massive downstairs area. This is where the Frankenstein pop up was. The bartender at the pop up was very friendly and kind. When we showed up, it was very quiet on a Wednesday but got much more crowded later on. The decor downstairs was well done for the pop up. I wish they had been playing Halloween music for the pop up. They were playing regular house dance music which didn't fit the theme of the pop up. There was plenty of seating downstairs so you did not have to worry about standing. There are at least 5+ bathrooms downstairs, although the one I used was not super clean and was missing toilet paper. I liked the interactive drinks they had that bubbled. Well worth the $20 ticket (inclusive of one drink). I'd try the regular restaurant for drinks and food, outside of the pop up experience.
This is a really lovely spot! The drink menu is extensive, with a refreshing house special (cooling cucumbers, ginger), fruity drinks (strawberry, peach, passion), and fun spins on classics. The ambiance is beautiful, with the option to sit right on the street on long tables in the summer or enjoy the bustling, cozy vibe inside. The food is also really delicious, with comforting Italian-American faves like a burrata plate, pesto gnocchi with whipped ricotta, goeey Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted brussel sprouts. The team also went all out for dessert for a birthday guest, bringing out sparklers and a variety of small cakes, cream puffs, and fruit tarts. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or a night out with friends! Enjoy the warm, cozy vibes with delicious small bites and drinks.
Had a light snack before going to the movies - and had such a lovely time. Can't wait to go back and try other items off their menu. The croquettes were deliciously crispy on the outside with a perfectly melty inside. We also had the bacon, egg, and cheese empanadas - these were so good that we had to get a second order.
Adorable restaurant and speakeasy in the east village. Small menu with some great eats and more on the expensive side. Very loud dining area with lots of young people. The cheapest bottle of wine I saw was a white for about $47. This place had a white Bordeaux that I never had before with lots of notes of honey. Food was very good and the service was very speedy. One star was deducted because we were not able to put in any food orders until all of our members of the party arrived. They would only take appetizers and entree orders all together. That annoyed me slightly. But overall was a good experience.
This spot was cool. Came here as an after for a friends thanksgiving last night. Good crowd, good bar, good music, good aesthetics. Nothing not to like - good all around
