50 Best Cocktail Bars near Wallington

“Very nice place. Some days are better than others but pleasant most of the time. Drinks are amazing. Only issue was the guava margarita we ordered this last time was extremely sweet. We miss the ceviche not in the menu anymore ☹️ it was delicious.“

“"LOVED IT":The Roasted Vegetable Trio Masamun Curry (GF, VG) was incredibly creamy and had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. The squash and cauliflower were cooked just right. Every bite was bursting with so much flavor, it made my eyes roll back in pleasure.The Shrimp Pad Thai (GF - we omitted the egg) nailed the classic sweet and tangy Thai taste. The noodles were cooked to the perfect consistency. It was so good, I quickly slurped it all up like a dog eating your birthday cake.Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and very friendly - great service."LIKED IT":The atmosphere was lively and packed with people enjoying their food and company. It's a fun, energetic vibe being surrounded by the buzz if that's what you're in the mood for."MEH":The Om Gai Pad (GF) was the dish we were most excited for but ended up barely touching. The smell was off-putting to me. The flavor was kind of like an old sock...maybe that funky taste was intentional, but it just didn't work for us.The price. Not awful and expected for the quality of the food.Dietary restrictions: GF and VG are clearly marked. They can also omit eggs to make more VG options.“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Kimika. The cocktails were amazing - unique with great flavors. I loved the kaga milk punch, shishitorita and the unami in kenmare.Dishes are a fusion of Japanese flavors in Italian style dishes, such as the sticky rice arancini served on a Japanese curry sauce. Other menu highlights were the tuna tartare, hamachi collar, truffle carbonara, rigatoni, and the steak.Dont miss the yakult soft serve for dessert!Staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations.We were seated in a back room which felt private with so much space on the large tables.“

“Waited an hour in line but the food was well worth the wait! They use the right amount of 5 spice season to make the chicken perfectly seasoned. Despite the long wait, you're not guaranteed a table. We were in the front. This place is not ideal for groups of 3 if you're trying to get into the back room. The hostess wouldn't even put us on the waitlist for the back room.“

“My boyfriend and I visited here for some quick late night food and we arrived shortly before closing. The overall atmosphere was great and the decor was aesthetically pleasing. We ordered everything at once because the kitchen was closing and they still pacer out our meal. The service was impeccable and all of the food and dessert was amazing. (especially the cuttlefish) We will defend be back!“

“Outstanding experience! Steaks, Chicken Parm, Sides where amazing! The Vinyl Albums getting turned. Feel the hospitality from owner Kevin & wife Sophia & Staff! Just amazing! oh - the martini's and wine where amazing too!!!“

“I came here for my birthday and had the absolute BEST experience! From the second I walked through the door, I knew it was going to be a special night. Every single person working there was so friendly and really rounded out the experience. Since they knew it was my birthday thanks to Resy, they all signed a happy birthday card, and included a candle on my red bean baked Alaska! Now onto the food: every single dish was a perfectly balanced experience. My one recommendation - don't skip the caviar hand roll. It was so good and I am still thinking about it weeks later! The shrimp toast also had no business being as tasty as it was! The fun thing about this place is that the menu is regularly changing and I cannot wait to see what the menu is next time I visit. Thank you 63 for such a great evening!“

“The burger is what everyone comes for (literally every table around us ordered at least 1) but DO NOT SLEEP on the Mac and cheese! It was the true star for me.The burger is good but be warned it is very rich (we shared 1 amongst 2 people).Would recommend people try this place at least once - and to people visiting - but we probably won’t be back until we’ve tried several other places on our NY burger must try list!One star removed for service because they got our matcha order wrong after we confirmed what we were ordering twice. Other than that service was great and quick!“

“Shuka has been on our radar for ages, especially being huge fans of their sister joint, Shukette. So, we finally decided to swing by while in the area, and while it was good, it didn't quite blow us away like we'd hoped. Personally, I'm still team Shukette all the way! The inside back dining room is super chic with those ceiling lights, but the acoustics can be a bit much – it gets loud in there, and we found ourselves practically yelling depending on how packed it was. But hey, that didn't stop us from enjoying a killer Za’atar martini and some decent wine, even if it did cost us a pretty penny. We stuck to glasses since the bottle prices were just... weird.Our waiter, bless his heart, was an absolute gem – full of energy and seriously clued in on the menu. We asked him for the must-haves, and we went all in on his recommendations. Feta pistachio dip, fried halloumi, carrots, cauliflower, chicken shawarma, lamb merguez – we tried it all! The cauliflower was a real standout with its warm spices and bright citrus/sweet pops. The real star though was the chicken shawarma and lamb Merguez. Pure perfection – juicy and bursting with flavor.But alas, not everything hit the mark. The feta pistachio dip was decent, but it tasted more like a funky Gorgonzola than the tangy feta we were craving. And those carrots? Good, but they needed more spice, a crunch for texture, and a bit more consistency in every bite. Oh, and don't get me started on the pita – it was soft, sure, but unfortunately a bit too dry for my liking.But hey, the team made up for it with a sweet surprise – a free dessert! And let me tell you, nothing beats a killer coffee ice cream with chocolate. So yeah, while Shuka didn't quite earn a permanent spot in our hearts, we're glad we gave it a whirl. Who knows, we might just pop in again if we're in the neighborhood.“

“Heerlijk authentiek Koreaans gegeten bij dit knusse restaurant. Vooraf krijg je wat banchan inclusief kimchi, aardappelsalade, boerenkool en radijs. Als voorgerecht hadden we pannenkoek met tauge, die goed was gebakken: krokant van buiten en luchtig van binnen. Deze werd met een fris sausje geserveerd. Op aanraden van de ober hebben we gebakken schouderkarbonade met oesterchampions besteld en dit was het hoogtepunt van de avond. Heerlijk mals vlees dat bijna op je tong smelt in een lichtzoete saus. De koude zoete aardappel noedels waren ook smaakvol, al is dit wellicht meer een gerecht om op een warme zomerdag te bestellen dan tijdens een koude dag. Om de maaltijd af te sluiten hadden we zwarte sesam ijs met matcha biscuit en gedroogde aardbeien. Prima toetje met leuke presentatie. Al met al dus heerlijk gegeten, dus als je van Koreaans eten houd is dit wat mij betreft een aanrader.“

“First, I love the low key atmosphere and the ambient light. I've noticed, as I've aged, that a lot of so-called popular restaurants are noisy and bright and the food is only OK. Hav and Mar is the opposite of that. It's a relaxing place with fantastic food- to the eye and the palate, excellent, professional service and great music. I hope it stays this way.“

“Great place.. Amazing dishes and desserts. Amazing staff and host. Will definitely be back. —— If I had one con, it would be the speaker volume. It really needs to be at an appropriate dinner volume in that you can have a discussion with that people at your table and not shout. We asked twice for it to be lowered. But I’m unsure it was ever adjusted. Loud club-music volume while dining is just unnecessary.“

“I heard that Tonchin is difficult to get walk-ins for, so I was really excited to get a reservation here. There was a long line of walk-ins when we arrived for our 12pm reservation. The restaurant has a cool modern vibe and good service. Overall there were some things I liked, but nothing was particularly memorable.The kimchi mushroom ($8) was meh and not worth the cost. It was very small, cold, and sour -- just hard strips of oyster mushroom in a chili oil/vinegar flavor. I didn't taste the kimchi flavor.The original maguro ($27) was very good. Lots of great flavors and textures, and everything was cut to the same size. I enjoyed the crunchy bits.The tebasaki ($18 for 6 pieces) had quite big and tender wings. The drumettes had more flavor and sauciness. This wasn't a must-get, but it was decent.The smoked dashi ramen ($22) definitely lived up to its name. It was a rich but not overly heavy pork broth with smoked dashi liquid on top. It was good but not amazing. I didn't love that the bamboo was in a big chunk, which made it hard to eat. The noodles are nothing special. I felt similarly about the tonkotsu ramen.I got the aka drink ($18) which was pretty good -- very floral and good sweetness. It wasn't that big, though -- it had a giant ice block in it.Overall the restaurant has a nice vibe and the food is quick to come out, but nothing would make me come back. The maguro was definitely the highlight.“

“Amazing Indian food in a relaxing and chic setting. Great price for a Michelin star restaurant and service is fantastic. My favorites were the dosa and the mung beans. The squash kurma was a bit bland compared to the other dishes. The cocktails were also incredible.“

“As has been our custom for the past three years, my daughter and I celebrate her birthday at this Blue Ribbon outpost. Needless to say, we've returned each time because of the attentive and friendly service, the delicious food (raw oysters and clams and steamed lobster, sautéed calamari, skirt steak and escargot) and the delightful conversation with staff. This year, Teresa and August were so lovely and sweet and made the evening memorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And see you next year (if not before)!“

“We came with a friend and got to try most of the items. For three people, we shared some appetizers —— the seeded bread (7/10), scallops 7.5/10, duck bun (6/10), bucatini (7.5/10).The entrees were much better than the appetizers. Got the halibut, bbq pork, and duck breast. All were delicious, but the duck was definitely the best. Would come back for the main courses. Mille feuille was good too, not picturedCocktails were not memorable. Interior was beautiful!“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“This is by far one of my fave gems of New York City!As someone who’s not so big on Greek food except if directly from Greece ?? itself, this place has quality food choices period‼️By now, since this wasn’t my first time here, I can almost say I’ve eaten every appetizer available on the menu ? today me and my pals had a buffet style dinner of continuous food.Each appetizer, including new things I had never tasted, melted in my mouth with deliciousness. ??The staff overall were pleasant and our servers could have been more attentive but… nothing to be sour about. It’s never easy to tend to large crowds of people with various demands at each turn.The food here is a MUST have! This place has been a staple of soho for years, and it’s no wonder why ?Thanks for another YUMMY dinner!xx @MsRextiVegetarian options: Non meaty options“

“OMG! I love this place. I am craving it right now as I write this review.Food:If I could live off of Adjaruli Khachapuri I would. A traditional dish that is open-faced khachapuri with a blended cheese, topped with raw egg. The egg is mixed into the cheese tableside. SOOOO GOOOOD!!!! It was so good that I had one as an appetizer and one for dinner. I also enjoyed Mushroom Khinkali (Georgian Dumplings) - another delicious dish. Lastly, I had one of their spreads - Spinach Pkhali: Spinach, walnut paste, onion, garlic, coriander and topped with Pomegranate Seeds. Super fresh and delicious.Drinks:For cocktails, we had a Sassy Tangarine: Cachaca, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, tangerine, and orange bitters and an Espresso Mama: A rich and indulgent chilled espresso cocktail with Georgian Brandy, Mr. Black, fresh espresso and simple syrup. And then with dinner, I had a flight of their famous wines - I had the Amber Wine Flight - Three different amber wine styles from different grape varieties.Service:The service was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. We sat at the bar and had a great time.Vibe:I loved sitting at the bar. I took a tour around the restaurant and if I sat at a table, I would probably want to sit in the front room or at the bar.This was a great find and I would highly recommend a visit.Date of Visit: 16 March 2024“

“The place is nice, it smells like smoked food indoors which I don’t enjoy a lot but if you’re ok with that scent, the place is warm. A little snob, but maybe that’s the vibe they want to share around. We had reservation but it was delayed, and we couldn’t have a drink while we’re waiting. The food was tasty, but not crazy to wait for delays. However, the place is cute if you don’t mind those details. Some people of the staff, great, others a little snobby and not friendly. Extremely loud place too, if you like to have a conversation, it’s not the kind of place I would recommend. You should try it at least once to find out tho, maybe it’s fine for you. I like lively places but not the ones with such much noise that you can’t hear the person next to you.“

“Wonderful spot for a long, leisurely lunch. The food is excellent, notably, the french fries, which are borderline miraculous in their flavor and ab to sustain maximum crispiness for hours on end. The cocktails are very good, especially the martini service. The wine list is extensive and SKUs heavily to the natural side, so be warned. But the dining room is high ceiling and convivial, and the staff is allowed to sport their personalities, which is welcome.“

“The wine selection is outstanding, accompanied by a superb food menu that's straightforward and user-friendly. The ambiance is wonderfully minimalist, and the food is served at the ideal temperature with exceptional flavor. We enjoyed the Long Island duck and pork tenderloin, as well as steelhead trout and gulf prawns for starters. I highly recommend stopping by if you find yourself in NYC.“

“Great food and service. 6 of us ordered 4 sets of BBQs and a few apps and entrees. We were more than full by the end of the meal. For around 100$ per person, great value for money. Staff was very kind and patient since was our first KBBQ experience. They surprised my friend with a birthday dessert in the end too. Highly recommend going there at least once. However, I wish they had more non-alcoholic options.“

“It’s as good as everyone says it isWe ordered half the menu & nothing was less than fantastic. Cocktails were all good, boozy, and well crafted. We loved the scotch egg, and honestly the fries were something to write home about. Duck pie & the burger were the stars of the meal.“

“CHILI 美麗, located at 13 E 37th Street in New York City, is a fantastic restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine. The chefs here have received a Michelin star, and their expertise shines through in the delicious and authentic dishes they create. - Mr. and Mrs. Smith 14$ - Mouth Watering Chicken 13$ - xiaolongbao 10$ - Lobster Szechuan Style 66$ - Truffle Beef Tenderloin 44$ - Fish Blossom 40$ Service was so so so good. Always check back to my table and they all were so nice. Love the ambiance, feels like home.“

“Food was supreme here. I had the raw clams, fresh and presented well. Cocktail sauce was done with care. My main was spaghetti and clams in tomato sauce with arugula salad and a touch of spring onions, that was a very fine detail. The effort was notable in the food. Service could be more disciplined though, some staff prioritise chatting with each other over customer service. The dining room was tastefully decorated. Would love to come back but I live too far.“

“Bangkok Supper Club is undeniably the best Thai restaurant in NYC. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a cozy and warm atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The host's warm welcome adds to the inviting ambiance, making you feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the food--it's simply outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Lin Yang (beef tongue) grilled charcoal, a dish that bursts with flavor and tenderness. Another must-try is the octopus with fried onion, a delightful combination of textures and tastes that leave a lasting impression. What truly sets Bangkok Supper Club apart, though, is the exceptional service. I can confidently say it's the best I've ever experienced. The servers Pat are attentive, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Overall, Bangkok Supper Club is a gem in NYC's culinary scene, offering not just incredible food but also a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service that make every visit a delight.“

“After viewing the cherry blossoms in Central Park, coming here for lunch is very close. Upon entering, I was attracted by the retro style - it feels atmospheric and cozy, especially suitable for enjoying a leisurely time with family and friends?. My favorite is the French Onion Soup ; the cheese can be stretched so long, and the soup is fragrant with onions and has a hint of sweetness?.The Salmon Eggs Benedict has a smooth and tender texture, also a must-select for brunch.I was pleasantly surprised by the Short Rib Cavatelli?; the ribs are stewed until tender and flavorful, paired with cavatelli which is very soft and delicate in texture, highly recommended?.“

“Arrived just after opening on a Tuesday night. Head mixologist/bartender Cyllan walked me through a few of his favorites and had me sampling everything from his frozen rum punch (absolutely delightful) to his green bean pickle brine (very briny). They made me a pisco sour from last season's menu and followed it up with the Mai Tai. Both were good, better than good even. They use a vegan foaming agent instead of egg white, if that sort of thing matters to you. Average price around $19/drink at the time of this writing. The rest of the staff was attentive and friendly. The music was a bit loud for 4:30PM on a Tuesday. Bathroom was clean.“

“I stopped by for drinks around 7pm on a Saturday with some friends. Thankfully there was a table available and we were seated right away. Bosco's has an extensive drink menu, and happy hour if you go during certain times on weekdays. The drinks were average NY prices, and were very good. I got the Sam Said So, while my friend got a Negroni. Both were very good! The service was great, and the decor was fun.“

“I was on a work trip and have very special eating needs and Hemant and staff really came through for me on very short notice!!! I will forever remember and HIGHLY recommend to anyone!!! Thank you Hemant and Staff for going above and beyond for me!! Darcy T.“

“Top 2 sushi restaurant around flatiron. More authentic sushi experience with a unique menus and seasonal selection. Omakase by T O W A - I didn’t “W” in the case of my photos. I was back in town for business and was lucky enough to walk in during looting rain. Overall Would eat here again.“

“First time I went to Fasano and I’m obsessed. The Bluefin tuna was simply exquisite!! Mind blowing!Its delicate flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture made it a true culinary delight! Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit just to get that incredible dish again. ><>•••“

“All I have to say about Leitao is that the food and ambiance here makes me want to plan a visit to Portugal. Staff were polite and accommodating and I must say the Passionfruit Margarita is the one to get, they actually cut and place an actual piece of passionfruit as a garnish. Abrigado!“

“We enjoyed our dining experience at Osteria Nonnino. The servers are attentive and make sure you always have a full glass. They have a variety of specials to try, I ordered the chicken parmesan which was great. Not too thick of a piece which is how I like it and topped with some pasta. For dessert was the tiramisu. The tableside tiramisu was delicious and the presentation of the server putting it all together was awesome.“

“Absolutelly wonderful experience. Every single member of the staff is friendly, respectful and professional. The food is out of this planet, delicious, beautifully presented and served. The wine list is very interesting, diverse and extensive. 100% going back.“

“The vibe in here was great, the service was efficient, and the food was delicious. We had the potato croquettes, smash burger and Margherita pizza. The burger was amazing. For drinks, we had the Kinky Boots and the Kiss Kiss Bang. The kinky boots was terrible - it tasted like soap and only soap. The kiss kiss bang was good, though, and our waitress was nice enough to swap the drinks out for me.“

“Classic and beautiful decor. We arrived for an early dinner and took advantage of the $1 oysters for happy hour. The cocktail was delicious and the wine was a very good value. We also had the avocado hummus as an appetizer. The burger was fantastic. Excellent food and service.“

“I went to the grill with my fiancé and friends after he proposed to celebrate. It's truly an elevated dining experience that makes the night special. The women's restroom has a lounge with beautiful vanity mirrors. The pasta a la presse was a highlight of the night because it was delicious but also because it was prepared table side with an explanation of its origin. The bread for the table had a lot of variety and was delicious. For my entree I had the lobster which was beautiful and tasted divine. The baked Alaska is a must for dessert since it's set ablaze at the table! If you're having trouble making a reservation we were able to secure ours with the Dorsa app.“

“Ate at Chama Mama in the Upper West side last January at a friend's recommendation, and it was my first time tasting Georgian Cuisine. It was great! I got the basic Khachapuri and the Khinkali (Georgian dumplings), and both came in big servings. They were both delicious as well, and the person at the counter also shared how to eat the dishes the traditional Georgian way. Would highly recommend!“

“We came in last Thursday night for some pre dinner drinks while on vacation and we're so glad we found this spot! Our trip was drink/food focused and the bartenders here did not disappoint. My husband and our friend had a "Ramos Gin Fizz", (which was literally like the best cocktail I have ever tasted), I would have had one myself but I was already three deep into the Cucumber Mint Collins (which was also delicious)! There was a great live band playing and it was just what we needed after not being in the city for so long. Can't wait to come back!! Did I mention the bartenders were awesome? (It needed to be said twice).“

“I didn't have any food, so I'm leaving that blank. The atmosphere was so much fun. The staff was good, nothing spectacular, but definitely pleasant staff. I'll definitely be back. It was a last minute invite so definitely surprised. Didn't plan on doing a review but the place is a great experience. I can't wait to go back and take in the full experience.“

“what an incredible experience. the place is packed all night long and serving the best squid ink pasta i’ve had. strachiatella and fig toast along with the mushrooms are essential too. the cheesecake for dessert hit home. fabulous wine list too. must go!“

“While visiting for the week, me and my husband ate here multiple times at different locations. The ambience in this location was fantastic. They also had so many amazing gluten-free options. As a vegan Celiac, I was in heaven!! The enchiladas verdes and moles were delicious, and so were the plantain chips! We’ll definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“I visited this place with 2 other people who have been visiting this restaurant occasionally. The foods were great, modern vibe, as a main, I ordered tantan noodle. the soup and noodles were perfect. couldn't have expected better experience.“

“We did not get any food but I’m sure it’s amazing. The service and atmosphere in this place is off the charts awesome. Kitty is the absolute best. We walked in without a reservation and they got us in right away and everyone was so helpful finding us a drink that we would like. Their menu is huge so that was a big help. This is a must stop for anyone that loves cool Polynesian bars, (they also talk about how they’re trying to build on the experience of tiki, and acknowledge that tiki is appropriated and they are trying to improve and pay homage to it). I love this place and will definitely be back very soon hopefully!Dietary restrictions: They have a super awesome “key” system to let you know of alcohol strength and different allergens in all cocktails and food.“

“It was an amazing experience that I give 5 ⭐️’s The menu was innovative and interesting and I love that the chef guides all the courses that come out of the kitchen. Being sea to table ensures the highest quality food and the technique from chef Daniel shines through in every dish. I will definitely be back!“

“Before actually visiting Dante, I had featured them in an article on the low ABV revolution for Drinks International. Dante is a shining example of an industry shift towards lighter aperitivo-style drinking establishments. Inspired by their travels in Italy, the team wanted to promote the European style drinking experience to New Yorkers, accustomed to sipping Old Fashioneds, even before dinner. Original founder Naren Young says that customers often hang out for hours, sipping four of five of Dante’s sessionable drinks like the Garibaldi, Americano, Spritz or lighter versions of the Negroni.Dante is an Italian aperitivo hangout done well. Think Bar Termini but on a larger scale. A staff with positive energy, comforting natural lighting throughout the bar, and skilled and happy bartenders making a better rendition of the Garibaldi than in Italy. I had such a great experience at Dante that I was tempted to visit a second time the following morning before my flight back to Milano.“

“Adrian and Amanda treated myself and guest like family! The customer service was excellent! The best I’ve ever experienced. We came to taste the new cocktail menu and everything was phenomenal! This is New Yorks #1 nightlife experience in my books. Will be back again. Keep up the great work.“

“Came here for dinner with friends. My friends are regulars and love Locanda Verde. They’re foodies like me, so I was excited to try this restaurant…Well, now I know why they love it so much. This place nails Italian food; every dish we ordered was cooked to perfection. My favorite was the rigatoni. Additionally, they have an impressive list of wines. Furthermore, the staff are stellar. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely attentive. I can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu. Keep up the excellence Locanda Verde!!!“
