Whiskey Bars in New York, NY

“My FAVORITE omakase in the city.... I have been insanely lucky to go three times, every time it gets better and better. And really this may be my favorite omakase in the world... I have been very lucky to spend some time in Tokyo and eat at some of the best restaurants there... I think it's better! The tea selection is especially impressive - sometimes sushi restaurants phone it in, but they have a truly impressive selection of teas and prepare them properly. The only thing that hurts my heart is some of the other guests can be a bit rude... DO NOT LEAVE SUSHI SITTING THERE.... it is an insult to the chef, the fish, and also ruins the perfect sensation of the cool fish and warm rice finding melding into sublime harmony on the tongue... RESPECT THE FISH AND YOURSELF! If you have a small stomach, skip breakfast and lunch... it is a lot of food but it is worth it to fit it all in there. A once in a lifetime experience!!“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Found this spot from a book called Drink Like a Local and glad I did. Walked in about 6 and the bar area was packed on a Wednesday. Found an open spot an ordered a Toasted Ham and Cheese and a Revolver. The food was good although I would have went with stone ground mustard instead of Dijon. The drink was burbon, coffee liqueur, and vanilla which came together very nicely. Would definitely go back.“

“Great service, tasty brunch, delicious drink menu. Roomy atmosphere and lots of indoor and outdoor seating where you're not on top of eachother. Evy was awesome as our server and took great care of us.“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“most amazing whiskey bar in new york. a storied enclave for the whiskey elite, connoisseur and fan alike. great personality, the deepest selection.“

“So Devious My Mouth Is Feels So Lucky Too Taste“

“I generally love the food and drinks here. But the experience this time was not good. The bar area was nearly full and there was only one bartender. It took over 20 min for someone to take our order and another 20 min to get the drinks. Everything was delicious. But the spot was severely understaffed.“

“Brilliant friendly staff great atmosphere for the footy UTFT COYB“

“Don’t judge a book by its cover for this one. The outside looks like a dark bar, and a dive bar inside. Don’t be deterred. The food is exceptional and beautifully presented. We ordered a tuna tartare, which came in a tower shape, and the oysters were top quality. The toasted striped bass was also awesome. Food is ordered by using a QR code that’s on the table top. Very reasonably priced relative to the quality. Check it out!“

“Great bar, large selection of whisky with some of the coolest staff you’ll meet! Great upper west bar! Also the burger deal is unbeatable and for desert the friendly and knowledgeable bar staff will help you pick out a whisky. This bar is
Unbeatable!“

“Staying at this hotel felt like stepping into the mind of Nikola Tesla. The ambiance is hard to describe low-lit, elegant, and almost electric in its stillness. The dim lighting throughout the hotel and in the rooms created an intimate, almost mysterious vibe that felt deeply intentional, like a place designed for brilliance and calm. The room itself was nothing short of stunning. Facing the New York City skyline, we had a clear view of the Empire State Building, which was a surreal bonus. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, and this was hands down one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates ambiance, design, and a little “spark” of genius.“

“This was about a 10min drive from our hotel and the unlimited mimosas made it appealing from the start but the food was AWESOME! Unlimited mimosas added another layer and we were pleased and lit by the time we left. When I tell you it’s worth every dime it truly is so please go. The service is good and they will check in considering it’s a 90minute unlimited mimosa thing BUT all good. Don’t feel rushed because they don’t push you out and again the ladies will make sure you’re good to go. Chelsea is the way to go! We had two rounds!“

“I've been there as a customer and had a lovely time. And I sang a few sets there on Monday. What a ball!! Highly recommend ❤️“

“We had no reservations and three other places had closed for private events, so we were happy to find Blue Bar open and we were lucky to find a table without waiting -- it was filling up fast on an afternoon in early December ? the drinks were good and the atmosphere was great -- vibrant yet not loud! Too bad it wasn't quite blue ? I guess it only would turn blue later at night. (Only had drinks, so, I'm not rating "food" -- is that correct ?)“
