Profile

A Deco-ish backlit décor with a sensuously curving bar and a steel-faced fireplace gives this West Village hot spot an old-world speakeasy feel. Serious cocktails mixed from infusions like lavender scented gin and vermouth tinged with herbes de Provence are meant to complement dishes like oysters, a seafood salad, and a Serbian charcuterie plate. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Late Night Menu

An abbreviated menu is available nightly from midnight to 3:30 a.m. when the kitchen closes.

Used to be a great spot for drinks and dinner. Now, service is spotty at best. Pass.

Surprised by the other reviews, but it's clearly not for everyone. And why should it be? This is NYC, the customer is not always right and not everyone should get in easily. A speakeasy created for & by the service industry, if you happen to appreciate a dimlit, lowkey but stylish atmosphere with excellent food that's not trying too hard- this is the place. With a true top shelf, mustachioed barbacks and a last call ritual that includes Tom Waits & complimentary chicken soup passed out like communion, you never know who's gracing the next barstool. The crowd is as eclectic as the city itself, and unsurprisingly- pedestrians and wannabes might have more complaints than artists and jetsetters. My new favorite spot.
