It is obvious that the owner must have given the reviews for this hole in the wall. Yes, it is tucked away. So tucked away that I thought the two men standing in front of the door were probably dealers and not employees. It felt like a furnace upon entering the bar...and that was just the entrance! The dive is so small and cramped. I've had more room riding the subway during rush hour! The staff is extremely rude but I would be too if I had to work there. Do not ask them for wine, cranberry juice or any other drink expect the 5 on the menu. A full drink is 3/4 full with lots of ice. Although, the ice came in handy since I was sweating. Did I mention rude employees?

Pros: none

Cons: rude staff, limited drinks, felt like a furnance

Accessible speakeasy charm deep in the Lower East Side.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Down the narrow hallway, a surprisingly large room with a DJ booth awaits the demure party. Arrive early to nab the 10-person booth, or to score the intimate nook next to the door. There's no seating--only standing--at the bar.
