The food selection is very unimpressive, however, the signature cocktails were interesting . The hostess with short hair was awfully rude

We’ve been to Wildcard three times, usually because we’re nearby and want to grab a quick drink. Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing.
They have a strict 1.5-hour time limit at the bar, which we understand and are happy to respect. However, the way the staff enforces it is extremely rude. The first time, the staff was more understanding, but our most recent visit was especially unpleasant.
We were a group of five, and the waitress rushed us to order immediately. When she brought our drinks, she spoke very loudly and aggressively, practically yelling out the orders. After four of us received our drinks, she loudly and rudely asked who ordered the last one, even though it was obvious it went to the remaining person. The tone felt impatient, disrespectful, and unnecessary.
This same server has been consistently unkind during our visits, and we honestly felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. While we respect time limits, there’s a polite and professional way to communicate, and this was not it.
Food and drinks were also underwhelming, which is disappointing for a Japanese-inspired cocktail bar. Between the poor service and average offerings, we won’t be returning , we’d much rather go to the place next door.

Stopped in and unfortunately the staff came across as inattentive, and customer service lacked basic professionalism. The atmosphere had potential, but service really took away from the experience.

I’ll be honest: finding this place was a bit of a challenge! Tucked away in a townhouse on 53rd Ave, it’s a true hidden spot, but it is absolutely worth the effort to locate. The design is beautiful - dark, sleek, and incredibly sophisticated with armchairs and sofas, making it very cozy. They offer a variety of Japanese-inspired cocktails and a great sake list. Service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a cozy, upscale vibe for a quiet drink, this is it. Just keep your eyes peeled for the entrance!

one of my fave bars in nyc. would highly rec the tokyo sunset if you like sweeter drinks. have been here twice without a res and it has always been a good level of noise but never too packed or loud which is kind of perfect.

Drink was good but in an extra small glass. Service was slow and then we were told it was last call at 9:30 while other people were walking in and the bar was full so they clearly just wanted to kick us out for some reason. Ambiance was nice
Drinks were decent. The compliment after snacks offered were quite good

Great bar for a Friday night. Cocktails are creative and delicious. Favorite was the plum one. Sake is great and goes down smooth. Ambience is beautiful and 10/10 not too loud
Recommended to make a reservation - we walked in at 20.00 and decided to reserve for 21.30 - the staff were super nice about it

A true jewel hidden in the heart of Midtown, the Wildcard Bar surprises with its intimate and elegant atmosphere. The environment, with attention to detail and inspired by Japan, creates an oasis of calm away from the city chaos. The cocktails are creative and refined, prepared with special ingredients and presented with great care. The service is attentive and welcoming, making the experience even more pleasant. A perfect address for a special appointment or for those looking for an unforgettable drink in an exclusive context
