Dens: Trivia: "angel's share" is a term that describes the wine that escapes through evaporation during the barrel aging process. (I learned this at a bourbon tasting down in New Orleans)

Nina Yiamsamatha: Friendly staff. Try the 404 if you like your drinks on the fruity (but not too sweet) side.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Get the Shark: a tiki drink with complexity and class (frangelico AND blue curacao, juice, and lots of rum)

Nina Yiamsamatha: Seider (co-owner) recently created new drinks for the menu - worth checking out if you haven't been back in a while. Try the 'Off to the Races' or 'Say Hello to my Little Friend.'

Nina Yiamsamatha: Split a punch bowl with friends. Good times will be had.

Suri R: The Randy Cocktail is sensational. If you're in for something harder, the Slynx.

Maxwell Z: Cocktail Mecca, plain and simple.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Really nice staff. Order The New Partner.

Adam Schwartz: One of the best poured drinks you'll find in the west village. Perfect late night spot.

Nina Yiamsamatha: If you have trouble deciding what to order, let them decide for you. Ask for the Bartender's Choice and tell them what flavors/liquors you like.

Mario Batali: sexy cocktail lounge above the fray of houston street, you might just be in burma, i love the jamaican firefly and the old cuban, both drinks not people btw

Brian Howald: The half-priced cocktails at Happy Hour are pretty clutch.

How To Make It In America: If you can tear yourself away from the Asian-Portuguese fusion, mixology at the bar is among the most precise and inspired in town -- seriously underrated. [BlackBook] En savoir plus .

Zack Sheppard: Live jazz every night, a full kitchen, and some of the friendliest waiters I've met. This place is a gem that serves nothing but quality drinks, without pretension.
