I stumbled upon the Craftsman at a time when I was very new to New York and hadn’t really gone to many places. And since that time, very few places equate to the quality you find in the cocktails there. From the mastermind himself who develops all of the special drinks to all of the fellow bartenders who make their mark with whichever experience you desire within a cup, I implore you to enjoy an evening with friends or a night on your own at The Craftsman. That’s where I’ll be.

Excellent neighbour space and bar!! You can come sit here in the afternoon and work here with a coffee or go have a nice drink in the Evening. Both the coffee and alcohol is pretty nice and the staff too. They have happy hours too from 3-7pm. Quite busy on weekends but a good place to chill with friends. It's near Columbia University so at day time one can expect a lot of students working here. Do visit if you are in this part of town

I frequent the Craftsman, an extremely wonderful and trendy cocktail bar, Irish pub, juice bar, and cafe that’s all one in the same at least 2-3 times a week on average. At 3pm on weekdays, it’s an excellent remote work location or a place just to relax in the afternoon with a cocktail, scotch, bourbon or beer. Between 3-5pm on M-F the Craftsman is quite peaceful, so you can hear yourself think. Then around 5:30pm the place becomes more lively. I’m never disappointed when I go. Everything is Awesome here! The staff is always very welcoming, courteous, and attentive. Their cocktails are top shelf and creative, their juice bar is innovative, and their coffee is bold and delicious. The Craftsman also has a decent wine and craft beer selection. They rotate their craft beer cans fairly often, their tap beer list is decent, and they have a delicious North Fork red wine on tap. Further, the place has a very good happy hour and their food is always wholesome, fresh, and satisfying. And they have a cool ambiance, especially at night when the candles come out and the lights go down. Lastly, they have jazz on Sunday nights, so the Craftsman makes for a great date night spot.
