Split Eights

The space needs something. And cocktails aren’t well balanced

Perfect place to find seats at the bar for a pre-dinner drink on a Thursday evening.

Stopped in for a quick cocktails before a play, and they cocktails were so good we went back after the play. Cool relaxed vibe, friendly service and good music. If you want to chill somewhere with excellent cocktails (thanks to competent bartenders), this place is a must visit.

Refused service for foreign id. Extremely conceited and rude staff

Edit after reply: My ID was in perfect condition. What I clearly stated is that YOUR waitress almost broke it by bending it too hard. Its a valid swiss ID… just not american. A bar in one of the most touristic cities in the world should be well equipped for this. The rude behavior of the staff was unnecessary.

TOURISTS with european Ids: DO NOT come here.
After being seated by a waitress, the bartender came to tell us we will not be served here simply because they “can refuse service to anyone”.

I had a swiss ID which was bent almost in half by her (checking for fake Id i assume) and my boyfriend had a german ID.
Again…. If you do not have an AMERICAN form of identification do not go to this bar. They were rude.

UPDATE: i just read all other negative reviews. Seems like rude attitude from the waiters is common and to be expected& most answers to the negative reviews by the official bar website are attacks against the customers :)…

We came in by chance when it started to rain, drank cocktails and the rain no longer seemed like an obstacle :) good!

Such a nice and sleek cocktail bar with nice bartenders/ servers. They’re doing a summer collaboration with Morgenstern’s ice cream and it’s worth trying those as well.

James was the best bartender ever!!!!!! Amazing drinks, definitely will be back!!

Great little cocktail bar just off Wall Street. Wasn’t busy at all when we were there just after 1700. Not a lot of food, just bar snacks and alcohol.

Great little cocktail bar in the financial district. Great service. Very little food. I had the paid vacation... Might have had 2 as it was very tasty. Would return.

We had cocktails at Split Eights on two different nights and I adore this bar! Adore it! I honestly can't recommend it enough. I feel horrible for not remembering their name but the person who wears glasses is super friendly and accommodating. The vibe, music and bar menu make for a special place indeed. The clever idea of having a Bartender's choice where the customer picks the alcohol and then whether it's spirit forward or not is brilliant! I wish more bars offered this option, because it makes sense and is welcoming. If someone came to your house you would do the same, so why not at a bar.
