We went at the end of the night not realizing they close at 1, but they were very gracious and seated us for a short visit. Awesome spot for relaxing conversation, groups or a 1-on-1

Underground cocktail lounge. Very beautiful design. A place that you can go for a casual drink or have an elevated evening out. Extensive cocktail list using all spirits . Staff were very inviting and personable. I did get lucky walking in and getting a reservation but highly recommend pre-booking

There are no words to express how much I liked this place. The cocktail bar downstairs is just perfect 👌🏾 — the best cocktails I have ever tried. The food is also fantastic; even the olives 🫒 taste amazing. You definitely need to try it!

So cool to finally have the Experimental Cocktail Club in NYC. Their cocktails are absolutely superb, inventive and varied. The intimate speakeasy vibe is perfect for a date or a casual business drink.

Fun hip bar hidden in a popular area. Drinks rotate but try the Numb Nuts - wife said it was perfect for me

Loud, but the dj is great. The cocktails definitely stand out, and if you get the chance to talk, the bartenders are knowledgeable

The drinks are surprisingly well done. Thanks to Nico de Soto. Only I really don’t like the drainage smell in the room. Will definitely consider coming again.

Awesome spot in flatiron with a DJ on a Monday night. They played some Cuban house that was very vibey
Slightly under the radar, as they haven't made the top lists yet, is the local Experimental Cocktail Club in NYC's Flatiron district. Ever since I discovered the brilliant bartender Nathalie Derrieu in 2020 when she was working at Katana Kitten, I knew she was just getting started. And now that she's the head bartender at ECC and in charge of the entire menu, I can say I was right. She, the bar and the menu all have a charming French touch. From the hilariously named 80's martini with a delicious grilled olive and smoked olive oil, to Tarte Tatin which is an apple pie in a glass, to Milk Money which makes your brain explode. It looks like a failed chemistry experiment but still manages to taste like an Espresso Martini. Is she a witch? If we're around, we'll always stop by, and you should too. If you can find it…🍸😍

Had high hopes for this place and I do think it has potential.
The drink menu has some interesting choices but in the end I wasn't really drawn to more than one option so not sure how overall interesting the options are. The drinks we got were tasty and on par with what I expected. But they're too expensive. I know the argument can be made that they're similar to other such places but that still means they're expensive.
The vibe is cool. Downstairs speakeasy vibes. But as a tall individual, I found it physically a difficult place to be. I couldn't really stand up in all sections of the place because of how low the ceilings are. And I'm not sure why the choice was made to use furniture the size of what one would find in a second grade classroom to decorate. There was a couple at a table next to us who for whatever reason only had a table no chairs so stood next to a tiny table that was well below their knees clutching their drinks.
When we went there was a DJ so the place is popping and loud so can be a fun time from that respect. Apparently they have some karaoke/piano nights, which can also be fun.
The service was super friendly, especially for this type of place, which I appreciated.

I loved the ones in London and Paris. Here, The wouah effect is there from the start. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Cocktails are sophisticated and perfectly balanced. The food is delicious. 100% approved.
