Very vibey place, with the side benches and low chairs in the back room; really an intimate spot and perfect for date night. Found the staff to be very friendly. It's more of a chill place than upscale, which can be a nice change of pace. Only knock is that the cocktails are kind of one-note; tasty but nothing special about them, so if you're going for that 'wow' drinking experience, this isn't it. But if you want each others' company to be the star, this is a great choice.

Great time there Sunday night with Lee! She's friendly, quick and attentive; she definitely had everything running smooth and chill. A hidden gem in the West Village. Heard about here through a friend of mine and all I can say I was not misinformed at all. Thanks again Lee A.

Cozy cute vibe spot and comfy to boot! Pricey for sure but the atmosphere is certainly there for it...

great little spot! A go-to for a casual hang but can also be a perfect start to a night out. They have a well curated selection of craft beers and wines - plus some liquor selection. John helped us pick out our beers and they were all excellent so have to give him a shout! Would be a cute little before or after drink for a date too.

Very date-y vibe. The drinks were stiff and I loved them! The place was fairly dim-lit and was perfect. If you sit in the backroom, you might have a lot of people going in and out of the restroom. The restrooms are candle-lit only (no other source of light). There is no food here.

The Otheroom is a vibe. I was brought here on a first date (that failed) but I continue to visit because the atmosphere and service are so good. The chairs could use a revamp, but that’s only if you sit at the bar. There’s a huge couch in the back that can sit like 4 couples and candle lit and dark you can easily sneak a kiss. The otheroom is worth the journey that far west, trust me.
