About Undercote

Undercote is a hidden cocktail lounge nestled beneath Cote Steakhouse, offering a unique dining experience that blends the casual atmosphere of a lounge with the quality of fine dining. The bartenders receive praise for their exceptional service and cocktail recommendations, guiding guests through the extensive menu and even creating custom drinks. The manager is recognized for his friendly demeanor and expertise, particularly in the Wagyu beef selections.

The menu features an array of delectable offerings, including a Korean bacon dish, chicken, steak, and beef tartar, although the menu in Undercote is noted to be limited compared to Cote. Undercote is appreciated for its stylish exclusivity, mystic-utopian vibes, and exceptional service. The staff is noted for their unparalleled professionalism, accommodating dietary restrictions and capturing memorable moments throughout the dining experience.

Customers describe the drinks as unique and delicious, with excellent presentation. Cocktails such as the martini with blue cheese olive, Short Walk, and Illusions are particularly highlighted. While the ambiance is quiet and sophisticated, some note that there is a bit of a wet musty smell due to the live greenery on the walls, and the music can occasionally get too loud. Guests recommend Undercote as a great spot for cocktails, often enjoyed as a pre or post-steak dinner destination, and appreciate the kindness of the staff who make guests feel welcome and unhurried.
