One of the most innovative and underrated Cocktail bars in NYC. I thinks that is why everyone that comes here is so vibrant and its never empty People know they are in on a secret, before it gets out. Felix and his creative team tell stories with their libations which transport you to it's South American influences and take you on a ride. Having a cocktail bar background and having made cocktail menus for other establishments i know the amount of work and dedication their team puts into their bar program. and it does not disappoint. Its a true labor of love. Happy Hours are a great deal with small bites also on the menu daily. and their Happy Hour Margaritas are better than 90% of any other margaritas, I have had many and way more expensive. Mariana is a STAR behind the bar, very detail oriented and on top of everything, you can tell she loves what she does. DJs on the weekends are a great vibe, specially since they play to set a vibe not a rave. Volume is tastefully leveled where you can talk to other guests without screaming and the playlist was eclectic from afro vibes, to old school hip hop/R&B and reggeaton.
I only stopped to check this place out but I will be back.
