Best

Nice atmosphere, pretty affordable, and the food smelled amazing, although I was there for the booze.

Worst

This place isn't bad. It's a bit empty and not very warm. The decor is a little dated even though this place is pretty new. The staff is friendly and the drinks are fine. Pros:...

Subtlety is everything... 11/7/2002

I invited a group of friends for some mid-week drinks and we were all pleasantly surprised by this low key LES find. I have to agree with the other reveiwers that it's only a matter of time before the wrong people find out about it (we know who they are). Great cocktails and extra points for being able to hear the person next to you! Everyone left very happy. Pros: creative drink menu, nice atmosphere, good mix of people Cons: fair food more

Intimate Setting 10/25/2002

mellowest lounge in town 8/2/2002

tasteful lighting, sweet but not cloying drinks, friendly service and a general good vibe had my b-day party here a few months ago and dropped in the other day -- still excellent Pros: great drinks, chill music, cool people Cons: gotta take the f, a little small more

You Gots to Go 7/31/2002

They have the best new drinks that are sooo tasty. I love ginger and their ginger-inspired drinks are amazing! They also have a nice selection of infused sake (giner sake, for example) which complements a nice ginger entree. Their entrees were surprisingly great. Excellent place for a finicky drinker. more

Cocktails so good, you'll slap your mama 7/29/2002

Don't walk in here with only beer on the mind. Try one of the dozen or so original cocktails and be prepared to swoon. If you like a perfectly balanced drink that will give you a great buzz and won't empty your wallet on the first sip, GO TO VERLAINE!!! Happy hour prices will make you very happy. Pros: unpretentious, great cocktails, great service Cons: hard to park more

Indochinese finesse in New York 7/18/2002

The happy-hour extravaganza of asian influenced hors-d'oeuvres and drinks, the minimalist and zen like decor, and the refined selection of background music, especially African and Samba, are very hard to resist. We just ask that Thursday African/Samba music schedule begins as soon as we get off work, with the Happy Hour that is. Vive la Francophonie! Vive Verlaine! more
