Overview
Spot the blue owl and head downstairs to this warmly lit semi-secret basement/cavern. You'll find expensive, but expertly crafted cocktails, and a crowd more uptown than East Village.
The cocktails are competantly prepared, the atmosphere is reasonably sexy, but it's the extremely discreet, if not exactly secret location is the primary draw to this sexy East Village lounge.
Why you should go
- They serve cheese with your drinks. Good cheese.
- Stone walls, candles, and ottomans conspire to create a relaxed, loungey vibe.
What you should know
- The entrance is down stairs marked only by a hanging blue owl.
- If you like secrets check out: La Esquina, Void, NuBlu, Chumleys, Milk and Honey, The Back Room, Decibel, Angel's Share.
- Be careful not to pick your nose in front of the mirror in the back, it's two ways and secludes a rather awkwardly shaped private room.
- If your thinking about booking a party for the back room, have a good look first so you know what your getting into.
