Soho is filled with amazing restaurants, but it doesn’t have a great bar,” says Craig Markham, spokesman for the new Crosby Street Hotel. Fans of Fanelli’s and Pegu Club might beg to differ, but there’s always room for another watering hole, this one running the entire width of the hotel’s ground floor, from Crosby Street to a garden-fronted entrance on Lafayette. The Crosby Bar makes no distinction between bar and restaurant (or restaurant and room-service menus), which means you can eat or drink anywhere in the high-ceilinged space, at any hour of day, from a gluten-free breakfast of organic barley with stone-fruit compote to a proper English tea. Marshall Altier’s cocktail list is intoxicatingly broad, with drinks that pay tribute to mixologists dead and alive, utilizing such esoteric ingredients as baked-apple bitters, coffee tincture, and hibiscus foam.

When paying $20 for a cocktail, it’s OK to have high expectations, which were disappointedly let down when I received my half-full champagne flute with a sad, lone lemon rind floating on top. That said, after downing my “shot,” I kept an open mind, and ordered a Moscow Mule, which was delightful, though somewhat skewed on the alcohol to juice ratio (in juice's favor). Our selections from the bar menu: the gruyere and truffle panini and the guacamole, salsa & chorizo, arrived in such child-like portions, that is was comical as the waiter served them. The panini was charred along the bottom which took away from the otherwise savory contents. The guacamole was good enough, and the chorizo was delicious. The service was unfortunately lacking, requiring us to actively flag down the waiter each time we ordered, and then wait an undesirable amount of time to receive each order. All to say, the value isn’t there just yet, but it has potential. The courtyard garden is lovely. The interior decor is certainly for a particular taste. After my first experience, it won't be the first place I suggest for our next drink date.
