Sweet and Vicious

Overview

Depending on night and time changes from a chill lounge to a packed pick up joint, but then depending on the night and time maybe your preferences change as well.

Why You Should Go

  • Succssfuly straddles that thin line between a pick up joint and a comfortable place to hang out, as the night goes on it veers pretty heavily into meat market territory.
  • The garden is fantastic, one of the most beautiful in the city and complemented by the keen service.
  • The $5 draft Guinness is pretty decent.

What You Should Know

  • The vibe changes dramaticaly as it gets later. Before 10 it's a chill and relaxed lounge, but as the night goes on it picks up to the point of insanity. Go at 10 leave at midnight, or make sure you're too drunk to mind the crowds by then.
  • Bring a group early and take over the back garden it's worth it.
  • There's a $40 minimum on credit card tabs.

New York Magazine

A smart (and smartly-dressed) clientele mixes business with pleasure at this stylish, medieval-looking bar.

Sparse yet oddly comfortable Nolita favorite attracts both quiet neighborhood regulars and raucous weekend revelers.

User Reviews

They don't need your business
They sold me a drink a minute before closing and proceeded to kick me out after without a refund a minute later. The manager told me that they didn't need my business and that I should go to another bar if I didn't like it.
