Love this spot. The aesthetic of the place is so cool and sleek. The service is phenomenal and the drinks are fantastic. Don't skip on the appetizers because they are really good. I recommend this

While waiting for our table to be ready, we convened down here for a pre-dinner cocktail. I got the one called "DNA", which was probably the cheapest of all the drinks on the menu. The cocktail was good, a bit citrusy and quenched my thirst. The plants and rainforest aesthetic was neat.Parking: There is street parking but also a parking garage on that block.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids

Undercote is an absolute must do if you’re visiting or for a date night. There may be a little bit of a wait at the door but it is well worth it. The bartenders really made our experience. Had recommendations and knew the menu extremely well. Try the Korean gnocchi. The sauce it came with was incredible.

This was where it was confirmed for me that the $25 minimum cocktail price is now the norm. The air in this place is delicious! All the plant walls, beautiful and inventive cocktails, kind professional staff- all adds up to be worth the wait and cost!

Loved everything about this place. Found it by accident and this couldn’t have been a better start to a date night. The aesthetic was incredible and so were the cocktails!

One of my favorite speakeasy bars in NYC! I love the vibes and the staff are so incredibly nice. We got the Swinging Neckbreaker and Illusions. I would definitely recommend this for a girl's night!
So the atmosphere here is the key thing. Great music selection and a cool underground vibe. That said, it’s quite expensive all things considered.The “steak & eggs” dish is incredible. The drinks I ordered felt half sized. Maybe that’s because I drank them so quickly. There’s an ice cube that you would expect if you were sipping whiskey but you aren’t, it’s a mixed drink mini-sized at $25+ a pop.Fortunately the mirrors that the drinks are served on are set up for incredibly attractive photos (see picture attached). Outside of taking selfies it’s not clear why the drinks are on mirrors.Are you supposed to do lines off the mirror while you drink? That’s not my thing but seems like if you were up for it they might let you ?♂️It’s worth stopping by but make sure you just got your paycheck!

Atmosphere 9/10Super cool and unique - botanical themed - atmosphere. Nice design elements and interior.Drinks 10/10Drinks were spot on. Special presentation and deliciously mixed. Definitely try the Martini - they have their unique melon “balls” which they put in the cocktail and it looks super nice. Also the “DNA” was delicious with good amount of liquorService 10/10Very professional and well dressed staff. Bartenders definitely know what they are doing!Price 6/10$25 per drink - but well deserved for this experience!

We had the absolute worst service. Not 1 but 2 rude servers. Had to actually get up to be served. Get up to get our check. Not really acceptable when you pay $125 for 4 drinks pre tip.
Amazing cocktail bar !
