  1. very romantic place but also good for a solo drink -- and Sunita's ever-sympathetic ear.
  2. This is a place for anyone of any age looking for a fun, friendly, laid back place where everyone is special.
  3. The place is very romantic and beautiful.
  4. The music is sultry, the atmosphere seductive, and Sunita herself makes killer drinks (including a special take on the saketini and a jalepeno margarita with just enough heat), and fabulous sangria!

Hot Drinks and Classy Hot Bartender!

by mike70

I have not found another place like this in the Lower East Side. The cocktails are incredible and the jalapeno passion martini is unlike anything I have ever tasted. They call it the 'Perfect Affair' because it is hot, juicy, sensual, intoxicating and addicting. The drink is truly hot and the bartender/owner is even hotter, yet she is stylish, very classy and extremely friendly and unpretentious. Where else can you find that? The place is very romantic and beautiful. Service is great and the crowd is good. It's my favorite spot!

  • Pros: signature drinks, hot bartender, romantic, cozy

Awesome-tasting, unique drinks!

by foodgroup4life

I went to Sunita on a Wednesday night and absolutely loved it! It's a super cozy place that makes you feel right at home. The drinks were very unique and tasty. Although I opted for a ginger saketini, which was very good, I was really impressed by another martini my friend ordered that had jalapeno infused vodka in it----that is a must have!! Also, this place is an excellent date venue! Try this place out, you will love it.

  • Pros: Drinks, ambience

Beautiful Look, Beautiful Bartender, Classy Place

by dave_han

I love this little spot for its great cocktails, impeccable service and hand picked spirits, but now the beautiful new loungy look matches the beautiful bartender/owner. Since I found this spot, I've always been drawn to it because I absolutely love Sunita's cocktails and the fact that I always meet interesting people there. It actually feels like her living room instead of a bar. I also have to admit that a big draw to the place is Sunita herself! She is friendly, fun, classy and one look at the endless line of admirers explains that the cocktails are not the only addiction in this place!

  • Pros: Romantic, friendly, great cocktails, beautiful bartender
  • Cons: none

Best cocktails on the lower east side!

by star13

I had been to Sunita's a few times, but was happily surprised to see a new, revamped place. The tables have been swapped for comfy couches, attracting a mixed crowd in addition to the locals. Definitely worth checking out.

Hot, Addicting Secret!

by 1stortell

We found this place on the internet and decided to try it because we read that they had amazing cocktails, similiar to Milk and Honey. Well, we certainly found amazing, addicting cocktails, but we also found much more. The cocktails are made with lots of care and attention with fresh juices, fruits and exotic ingredients. Watching Sunita, a former chemist, make her potions was like watching a chef cook food. She definitely takes pride in what she does. There is something very hypnotic about the whole place, it's warm, cozy and sultry, but you also feel special, like you were invited. I'm glad we found this little hidden gem, but I'm afraid it will be discovered and everyone will know this secret.

  • Pros: Great service, addicting drinks and atmosphere
  • Cons: none
