Venturing into the world of Korean-inspired cocktails at this reception bar was an adventure in itself. Infused with distinct Korean spices, each cocktail boasted an exuberant, yet light and invigorating taste, painting an unmistakably Asian flavor palette. While the menu was compact, it was a treasure trove of unique concoctions. The bar exuded a charmingly unpretentious ambiance, albeit slightly marred by smudged and weathered menus, giving it an endearing, rustic feel. Exploring this space was a delightfully curious experience for us. However, the service, although possibly attributed to the opening phase, felt a tad neglectful and somewhat distant. Nonetheless, the allure of the place and the captivating flavors of the beverages made our visit intriguing and worthwhile.

I wanted to love it but there was only one bartender (he was holding it down though!) and I got the wrong drink. Crowd was mostly younger 20s.

Cool spot for Korean-style cocktails. Overall their prices are reasonable. Their specialized cocktails looked creative but the tastes were not that impressive. 🍸Our favorite goes to White Lotus. This is a tea-based one with a gental flavor. I had the Yuja 88 which I could only taste the citrus sweetness but not the floral soju they added.

This place was on my list of bars to go to. Was able to visit here with a group of friends last night. This one star is heavily due to the terrible service we received. While the bar closed at 10, we arrived at 9:10 which included of plenty of time still to stay. The lady was nice at first in greeting us and told us we were allowed 2 rounds given the time and that she’ll come back later . Then she left and never came back. By 9:35, we went in to let her know we’ve been ready to order. She then proceeds us to rush us to order and became snarky and rude. Menu stated that a 20% gratuity fee would be automatically added for groups over a certain number, which was applicable to us. She told us it does not include tip which also makes this confusing. Once we were done drinking, it was around 10 and she rushed our table to leave by throwing us the check before we were ready even though there were plenty of tables around us still enjoying their time and have been there earlier than us. The nice atmosphere and interesting drinks are not worth encountering this rude lady’s service.

Drinks are okay but service is a joke. Waiter has serious attitude issue. Practically no service, did not show us the receipt and automatically put in a 20% tips minimum (because we, just 4 persons, are a “large party”) without even telling us and was expecting us to put in additional tips. Deceitful and cheap. Don’t think I’d come here again for sure.

Vibes are zen, service is excellent, drinks are strong except you’d never be able to tell. A very unique concept and a complete gem. My friends and I loved every single cocktail we got - my personal favorite was Incheon, which tasted like a strawberry milkshake. Drinks never flowed so easily :)

Unique cocktails that you almost surely can't find elsewhere. I'd almost call some of them "experimental" in a way, so it's definitely the place to stretch your palette. I didn't care so much for one of their saltier cocktails, but I'm sure some people like them. Overall it was a great experience and break from the standard cocktail bar.

This is one of the best cocktail bars and bar experiences I've had in a long time! Every single cocktail my friend and I had was delicious and exciting (we wanted to try all of em and if this spot had a sample package I'd have bought it). The decor is gorgeous. One of the bartenders did such a great job keeping track of who all standing arrived first and called them over for seats at the bar, in spite of it being so busy. The crowd was pretty cool too. Highly recommend 👍🏿

Really chill and airy vibe! Loved the outdoor seating! Ordered the cereal milk soju cocktail tho and did not like it … at all unfortunately. My friends had drinks that were great tho - like the ginger goblin and the melon one!

Really cute, aesthetic bar. Nice for casual hangs or date. Also great if you want to grab a drink but don't want strong drinks since they're mainly soju based.

This trendy bar was packed to the gills on my Saturday visit, and the induced migration from tiny table to tiny table while we waited for seats was a little confusing. The cocktails were delicious, though. In the end, it wasn't the most comfortable bar experience - the space was sticky and humid despite near-freezing temps outside and the volume was just too loud to hear my partner immediately beside me.

Great sojubased cocktails !!love the ambiance and the lady bartender is so much fun. We got the soju infused flights and I had the cereal cocktail.

One of my favorite bars in the city. Almost every cocktail I've had has been amazing and I bring everyone who visits NY from out of town. Don't forget to order the garlic knots with kimchi because it's the strangest match made in heaven. Shout out Katie and John, my favorite bartenders 😘 UPDATE: Still great, and the couple of new drinks I've tried are also dope.

Honestly drinks were pretty good, but they charged us a large party fee with only 4 people and never let us know. The waiter also had a very bad attitude, felt like I was asking him a favor or inconveniencing him just to order a drink.

Great vibes. Perfect for groups. Indoor and outdoor seating. Some bar bites

Caught some vibes here, highly recommended! Keep in mind all the drinks are soju based for the most part. They also have house-infused flavored soju with like 8 different flavors.

Ordered two drinks: Matcha Meadow and Smokes; both were excellent. Creative cocktails mostly using Soju, a Korean liquor. Cute marble bar. I would recommend trying!

The name and description of the cocktails here look incredible, but I was bummed that I didn't like the ones we tries. We had the Ginger Goblin, Orchard St, and the Martini 100. I could tell the Orchard St was popular and was like a margarita, and it was fine. I didn't like the Ginger Goblin, but the martini was okay. The atmosphere was really nice though, people seemed cool and it's in a vibey part of town. Might be worth a stop in to try some of the other options

Really cool place with great soju cocktails, chic vibes and good music. The staff is always super helpful —they've managed to accommodate our group of 5 in several occasions.

The vibes here are very nice. They have a unique selection of drinks, if you like matcha try the matcha meadow. The yuja 88 was also very good

Best soju drinks in NYC

I really wanted to like this place as the vibe was great. However, the drinks and services were rather disappointing. It took 20-ish minutes for them to have the drinks ready; and there was this one particular bartender who was nonchalant and completely unapologetic. During the hour we spent no one ever came up to us. The lady server was polite enough though so we really appreciated it - it’s just this one particular bartender who seated us probably needs to learn how to be more courteous and less condescending. His quality of service was reflected on the tips.

The bar itself was very cute and had great aesthetic. The drinks were creative and interesting. Only downfall was the staff and their lack of warmth and welcoming, my friend and I both wish that they were more friendly and that they provided better customer service. We got the yuja 88 and the lotus breeze. Both were very delicious but I will say the yuja 88 is a bit stronger than the lotus breeze.

The focus & attention to utilizing Soju in the cocktails creates such a unique drinking experience. Love all the staff too🖤

Amazing place to check out great architecture, good music and GREAT drinks. We were served by the same person both times and she was very good. Fancy but nonchalant at the same time - crowd is very fit but definitely on the cooler side. All drinks are $14 and have all different flavors with overall great quality. It’s a place to go often.

Cool creative cocktails.
