About Perch

Perch is a cozy cocktail bar known for its inviting atmosphere and delicious drinks. The small bar offers only bar seating, making it less ideal for groups, but the unique and well-crafted cocktails make it a worthwhile destination. Visitors are encouraged to visit during off-peak hours to increase their chances of finding a seat, as reservations are not accepted. The Mambo Siciliano and Luna de Miel cocktails are popular choices, with Luna de Miel being a smooth and well-balanced favorite.

In addition to the cocktails, Perch offers tasty dishes like longaniza croquettes, smashed fingerling potatoes, and lamb meatballs, all receiving high praise, especially the croquettes. The NY strip was also mentioned as flavorful and tender, though served more rare than requested. The space is described as a quiet oasis that feels like an interesting, hidden gem—perfect for a date or a casual night out with friends. The staff is attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. Perch is a true gem in East Harlem, with a wildly creative cocktail bar, friendly and approachable staff, and a surprisingly interesting food menu to accompany your drinks.
