Shebeen is an excellent choice for an intimate drink with a friend or date, or perfect for a mid size gathering. The wait staff is always very accomadating and they make the best martinis on the planet, seriously. The lychee, strawberryy balsmic and watermelon (when in season) are not to be missed. The best one is the godiva chocolate martini though! Drink prices are still pretty reasonable so a night out here will not leave your wallet empty. Shebeen is a very relaxed atmosphere yet still feels like a very hip and cool place to hang out without being snobby or pretentious. A bonus is that its a great place for a private party, either during the week or on a Saturday night (if you rent it out early enough before it gets too crowded). You can have food brought in and the staff will go out of their way to help you plan and organize. Shebeen never gets so loud that you can not hear yourself speak or your company, which is rare in a bar in NYC these days. I highly highly recommend a visit to this wonderful little SoHo spot. You will not be disappointed.
Pros: Friendly staff, Amazing martinis, Available for private parties, Not too loud or crowded , Comfy couches
