More rare bottles than you can shake a stick at, and the best service you could ask for from knowledgeable staff with a passion for the magic spirit. Go to this quiet cornerstone of the mezcal world for the arroqueno. Stay for the fondue.

Rented the private room for my birthday and had the best time! Staff was incredible- very friendly and helpful and attentive. The room was really nice and great ambiance. And the food and drink were top notch. I would highly recommend this for a private event! Very fairly priced too :)

Some friends and I did a mezcal tour in Puebla, Mexico. The theme of the tour is that the artisanal / small batch nature of mezcal makes it almost impossible to commercialize and export to the US - the mezcal you buy in the store is not “authentic mezcal”. My response was - “we’ll damn, that mezcal bar in my neighborhood in NYC must be a shame”. The tour guide said “you mean The Cabinet? No they’re legit”… enough said

Came at opening time to check out the Xmas vibe to see if I wanted to book a reservation for a group of friends - but even though the place was dead empty the host wouldn’t even let us in just to peek without a reservation. Did I say it was dead empty and when you looked on Resy every single reservation time was available? Yeah no thanks. I don’t do gate-keeping attitude from a kid in a cheap Santa suit at empty, cheap looking bars in the middle of the day.

This is such a cute little place. It's giving upscale dive bar/pub meets a lounge/parlor. The staff is friendly and the drinks are really good. They also offer classes, flights and tastings, check the site for schedules. The Mezcal tasting I attended was very informative, laid back and tipsy I ordered a take on a painkiller made with mezcal and its good! You have to try it!

Awesome place- staff were super friendly and welcoming. The bar has lots of seating as well as smaller tables scattered about. The atmosphere was very chill and I enjoyed their music selection. I had the mezcal adventure flight and it was a great sampling of different agave varieties and flavors. My wife had the mezcal Negroni and I think it was probably the best one that I have ever tried. We also tried the nachos (yum- lots of cheese sauce), the pork taco (a little on the small side but pork was very tasty), and the poblano and mole chicken tamales (very good and actually quite substantial in size). Can't wait to go back!

We came for a drink on the terrace on Friday night, one of the first warm nights. There was a storm, and the rain was pretty heavy, but we didn't get wet. It was really nice to hear the thunder and raindrops, and all the little birds in the nearby tree. We ordered a flight of mezcal and a $3 beer since it was happy hour. The indoor bar looked really good too. I feel like it would pretty cool to come back for cocktail . The waiters were nice too. A good time.

Really lovely cocktails and good vibes but Lordy they need more support behind the bar. Not exaggerating that I waited 20 minutes for a drink

We were bar hopping for the night and I was able to find this gem. It's a decently sized space and the ambiance is more chill but not too chill as people were getting really lit in there. Ahah. Anyway, we were able to snag a standing round table and just chill. This bar specializes in mezcal (surprise). I ended up ordering the kamekaze and I really liked the drink. My other friends liked their drink as well, even tho one of them isn't a big fan of mezcal. Overall, a nice place to kick it at and grab a drink or two.

Super cute spot with cozy, comfy seating in the back room. Our server Jacob was so patient and kind with our large party. Drinks are delicious! Definitely coming back ❤️
