Kind of a cramped space, there’s no real food here if that’s what you’re looking for; only things like popcorn, pretzel’s etc. Great service and live music though. And

Really incredible experience. Friendly and cozy, best cocktails I’ve had in a while. Just the sweetest people, would be such a shame to miss out on this bar. The employee who caused so many bad reviews no longer works here.

Great atmosphere, great cocktails, very strong! I felt drunk after 2. About $20 per cocktail

I really like this bar. Great live jazz most of the night. And every drink on the menu is really good. If you’re a rum or tiki drink fan you need to try this place. Asked for some tiki standards and the bartender delivered. Really great cocktail bar with an old world jazzy atmosphere.

We happened to just find this place when we walked by and I’m glad we did the drinks were delicious and the service was awesome. Our bartender was Troy and he really happed us figure out what to get.

Great rum bar in Broadway. Selection of rums is extensive but I hooe they will include some Colombian rums too.

The best rum menu I've ever tasted. Everything was of great quality and impeccable. Delicious jazz sound and great service.

My wife and I went here randomly whilst in NYC in September. Cracking joint, highly recommend it. Especially for expat Aussies looking for an authentic NYC bar

This is what NYC was like in t he 30s, including live jazz. Except they make awesome cocktails, and the bartenders are so knowledgeable it'll make your head spin. Rene and his crew are great. NOTE: Bar is not part of the hotel, so guests don't get immediate entree.

Thought it was going to be a nice bar to attend on my last night in New York City but instead was met with a nasty attitude from the male host when asked about being seated when he repeatedly sat other people that had arrived after us. He told me “Not to lie in his face” when asked if I gave my name for a wait list that I was never told about upon arrival. Also, not to mention that half of the drinks I was excited to try were “discontinued” but still on the cocktail menu. I know this place has 4.5 stars, the cocktail I had was admittedly good, and the music was great, but the attitude I received upon arrival… I would never recommend!

Nice selection tasty taco. They have a taco Tuesday deal as well so bonus if that’s the day you stop by. 10 beers on tap and super highly rated margaritas. Our server was friendly and helpful.

A great reflection of a NYC bar. Drinks were very good. Live band nightly. Nice vibe with dark wood and leather through out. Very diverse crowd Food options very limited so don't come hungry. I will definitely come back on my next visit to NYC. I arrived around 8pm on a Sunday and was able to get seats. As the night went on it began getting very busy.

The host was extremely rude to a customer who was seated and enjoying a beverage. The table next to us squeezed in to open a table (we were standing), and the gentleman offered us a seat. The host came over and physically got in the gentleman’s face and tells him he doesn’t work here and doesn’t make the rules. He said we couldn’t sit there if we weren’t on the gentleman’s tab and the gentleman responded he was just trying to be nice. The host was extremely unprofessional, accosting a seated guest and losing two more (we left promptly). It was a very disappointing experience.

Decent atmosphere. But a sad disaster. Had high hopes for this place but the maitre d was obnoxious and rude. I don’t want to bore you with play by play details but we ended up leaving after being treated like dirt. So it really doesn’t matter if the drinks are good or bad. What a shameful experience capping of a very nice night. Don’t give them your money

My partner and I went here after a show. We found an open table after ordering drinks at the bar. After 45 minutes, a staff member came over to us, took our popcorn, wiped the table, and told us to wait at the bar. We both told him absolutely not and within 25 seconds, the bouncer came and asked us to move. It was the most ridiculous encounter we’ve ever experienced. What a lousy end to an otherwise fabulous night.
