Restaurants Perfect For Specialty Cocktails

Maison Premiere
298 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211Either we’ve aged into silver haired, 30-something hipsters overnight or Williamsburg is just more on our wavelength lately than Manhattan. As you’re well aware, we love drinking almost as much as eating and right now, there’s no better place to find our two beloved pastimes working together in sweet harmony than The Burg. Marlow & [...]

Prima
58 E. 1st St, East Village, NY 10003We’ve always been fans of The Summit Bar, however we never reviewed it because the food menu is tiny and the door/bouncer/crowd scenario most nights is unbearable. Thankfully, the kings of cocktail decided it was time to add something a little more gastronomic to their resume. We love a pleasant surprise and that’s exactly what [...]

Louro
142 W. 10th St., West Village, NYWere not exactly sure what kind of restaurant Louro is. Chef David Santos is of Portuguese descent, and hints of that heritage are evident in the food here. But this is definitely not a Portuguese restaurant. Some of the best things we’ve eaten at Louro are pasta-type dishes, but it’s not an Italian restaurant either. [...]

Prime Meats
465 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11231An Infatuation go-to from the proprietors of the Frankies restaurants (457 & 17). The menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Also, make sure come for brunch.

Ward III
111 Reade St., Tribeca, NY 10013This one’s been a long time coming. For a solid two years now, Ward III has been our favorite drinking establishment in Manhattan. Sure, there are a plethora of excellent sophisticated watering holes we love, but none more accessible and user friendly than Ward III. We’re always down for a Michael Neff (Co-Owner, Mixologist) conceived [...]

Cienfuegos
95 Avenue A, East Village, NY 10009At this point, it might appear to some that we get paid off in booze by the dudes behind the East Village matrix of Death & Co, Mayahuel and Cienfuegos. Although that would be pretty awesome, we don’t. We just appreciate a job well done and have hopped all up on this bandwagon. Cienfuegos is [...]

Death & Co
433 E. 6th Street, East Village, NY 10009You know how it feels like some establishments were built precisely for you? That’s how we feel about Death & Co. Any place that makes room on their menu to quote Hunter S. Thompson – “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity, but they’ve always worked for me.” – is on our wavelength. [...]

Hudson Clearwater
447 Hudson St., West Village, NY 10014Hudson Clearwater is keeping it discreet. The restaurant is doing it’s best to become a secret neighborhood spot with a following among only those who can find it. The address is listed as 447 Hudson Street, but when you approach the front of that building, you will find no marked entrance. You have to walk [...]

ABV Wine Bar
1504 Lexington Ave, East Harlem, NY 10029Living on the upper, Upper East side can be a drag. Limited subway access makes it difficult to get downtown, and all that extra rent money you saved by movin’ on up gets spent on cabs so you can get your ass back down to where people hang out. Up until recently, there hasn’t been [...]

Red Medicine
8400 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90211We appreciate LA’s hot rides, beautiful weather and pretty people, however, we’re not into fancy looking eats that taste like sh*t. Sorry ink. Obviously we were skeptical about a flashy Vietnamese restaurant run by cool dude chefs who aren’t Vietnamese. Not even Asian for that matter, as they point out in their manifesto. Why does [...]
