I've been here twice while in the area for work. Great atmosphere - it's fun to just look around. Rarely crowded. Signature drink list is short but excellent, with some names that are just fun to order. I've had La Jefa both times. It's a very well balanced mezcal cocktail with fresh rosemary. Staff isn't rude at all but seems kind of indifferent - maybe they're just giving us our space? Appetizers were good but that's the extent of food. If you want a full meal there are plenty of other options nearby.

Great decor, music and cocktails. Perfect elevated yet still casual ambience. Loved the “I need more allowance” beet vodka & ginger drink.

My wife & I went to Cibar last Saturday night. Very beautiful & comfortable vibe & decor, inside & out, with excellent groovy & house-y music provided by a guy & girl DJ duo called JUSTNKAYSE (the girl sang an original song too and her voice was beautiful). Their food & cocktail menu looks great as well, but we didn't have their food. We asked if the bartender could make us "mocktails" since we're not drinking alcohol nowadays (wife is expecting), and not only did they accommodate us with two "mocktails", but they literally made us the best "mocktails" we've ever had (no exaggeration)! Big thanks to the bartender, the waitress and the manager on duty - all were very personable and accommodating. We loved Cibar and look forward to hanging there again soon!

Uniquely decorated cocktail bar with a varied bar menu. The food (snacks) isn't worth it but the drinks were great.

I came to this super cute bar when visiting New York and really enjoyed it. This was a cozy place and thankfully we were able to snag a spot for the 6 of us. We were given a cute menu with some special drinks - I cannot remember what I ordered, but I liked it. One of my friends also got a drink which she didn't like very much but it came with a small pastry on the side which she really liked. Overall, our group enjoyed their drinks thoroughly and I would go back. This place is definitely a nice place when out with friends or even date night! Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved the vibe and atmosphere here! The drinks & food came quick and were amazing. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to vibe!
This place was absolutely adorable. It wasn't too crowded and was perfect for getting together with a group of friends to catch up!

Pretty good drinks and it's got a good vibe. The basic batch basically tastes like a hard lemonade. Easy to drink. The coco chanel was amazing though. Super smooth and creamy, my favorite of the place. The butterfly effect was pretty but doesn't really taste nice and balanced. The zebra depassion was also pretty average, mezcal and passionate flavors are pretty hard to go wrong with. We also got the guac to share and it was fine with some nice salty chips to go with the drinks we got.

Chef was out so no food to order which was a bummer. Had their version of a spicy marg which was great, and an espresso martini that was not. Cute funky decor.

Loved this bar - it was intimate and had wonderful live music. I liked the drinks but overall the ambiance was what truly was the draw for me here. It was a great balance of dark but not too dark, and had just the right amount of people. Will be back!
Excellent service. Lovely
