Overview

A carefully crafted vibe supported by good music, dim lighting, and unusual French-Vietnamese cocktails elevates Verlaine above its many loungey counterparts in this area.

History

The lounge that stayed

Verlaine Bar & Lounge was established in October 2001¹. Our old review said a carefully crafted vibe of good music, dim lighting and unusual French-Vietnamese cocktails lifted it above its many loungey neighbors. It's still at 110 Rivington Street, open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 in the evening^{2, 3}.
