Tranquil Friday Night with Great Margaritas
I visited on a Friday night and was delighted by the tranquil environment. The bartender recommended the house margarita, and it was so good that I had two. The service and atmosphere were both rated a 5 out of 5, with a price per person between $10–20.

Mixed Experience: Good for Dining In, Awkward Owner
My friend and I had a positive experience being able to eat food inside, which was the highlight of our visit. However, the owner's behavior was not ideal; they were observed walking around staring at people and then becoming emotional, which detracted from the experience. Additionally, we felt there are better places to drink for $15.

Chic Chinatown Gem with Great Drinks
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a chic spot located in the heart of Chinatown, offering a great ambiance. The manager, Danny, creates a variety of specialty drinks that are truly awesome.
It's also an awesome venue to throw private parties.

Great Cocktails and Vibes
My experience was great! I enjoyed the asian-inspired cocktails, which had lots of interesting flavor pairings. The vibes were good, and our bartender was very friendly and did a great job recommending drinks.
We stopped by before dinner on a Saturday, and it wasn't too crowded.

Exceptional Cocktails and Vibe
My experience at Blind Pig was fantastic, solidifying its place as one of the city's best cocktail bars. While I didn't get to try the food, the drinks were beautifully considered. I highly recommend the TO Gimlet and the hot sour.
In a city with many great cocktail bars, this one truly stands apart. The ambience was also great, and I loved that they constantly played 90s hip hop, featuring Biggie and Tupac, which is my personal preference.

Exceptional Drinks and Great Space!
My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful, exceeding even my high expectations. The drinks were a standout, with unique Asian flavors used in a fantastic way. I particularly enjoyed the punch bowl, the smoked umamis (my favorite!), and the hot and sour cocktail.
I haven't been this impressed with cocktails in a long time. The decor is nice, and the space is surprisingly spacious, accommodating our large group comfortably on a Friday night. The staff was also very accommodating, providing plates and a knife for a birthday cake we brought.
Overall, it was a great experience with great drinks and a great space. The only minor point is that it's not a speakeasy, as it's clearly visible with signage, but this makes it easy to find.

Delightful New Spot with Great Service
My experience at this esthetically pleasing new spot was fantastic. The cocktail list was intriguing, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The service was heartwarming, especially from Mohammed, our talented bartender, who was flexible and accommodating when we arrived 20 minutes before closing.
Watching the cocktail preparation was fun, and the presentation was fancy! I will return, likely on the weekend when I hear it's more vibrant.
