So good. The cocktails are complex, creative, and most importantly, oh so drinkable. Ordered the Tulipa and loved it so much I had to get another. The bar staff are kind, charming, and so passionate about what they do— they shared so many unique, tasty syrups with us they are experimenting with from kitchen discards and treated us to complimentary limoncello and basil (yes, basil!!) liquor. Such a wonderful experience on when it comes to quality of drinks and service. Plus, the complimentary snacks were fantastic. 10/10. Don’t be scared of the Astoria vibe— come visit!!

Perfect atmosphere and not too crowded. The most importantly the drinks were amazing. They do lots of classics with their own twist. Its like chefs cooking in the kitchen making new dishes.As per my second, the bartender made a personalized whiskey based drink… wow, How complicated flavor it had and so good.
