Profile

It's tough to find this elegant drink parlor tucked away inside a Japanese restaurant. And even tougher to get a seat once you do: It's a no-standing room where only groups of four or fewer will be seated, a rule that is strictly (to put it mildly) enforced. But once you're in, you'll appreciate the draconian attitude. Stare out the big window (preferably during a snowstorm) while enjoying an exotic plum wine.

Live Music

Wed., 10 p.m.-1 a.m.; jazz

Note
Delicate bar snacks, from sashimi and dim sum to fried oysters and Japanese sausage, are excellent.

... but anyone who gives the place less than a 10-point-rating has no taste or is employed by a competitor. Angel's Share is a breath of fresh air among bars in New York. Consistantly the best atmosphere, cocktails and the most fun I've had watching a bartender mix, shake and stir. Zagat got it right, it most definitely deserves its "award of distinction." Dont believe otherwise, you will surely be missing out!

Over the Christmas Holiday, at 6 pm, at opening, I walked into this EMPTY bar with 2 friends. We (mature professional women) were followed by two people who knew us. We were told that 5 people could not come in together,. We sat apart. They refused to serve us. We asked why. There was no reasonl The manager refused to appear. After 15 minutes, with no explanation except that there is a sign that says only 4 people allowed in the bar (by then at least 10 people had shown up) we left, having never been served. I was ashamed for oiyr Japanese guest to go into a Japanese bar in NYC and be refused service.
