    The new partner is my favorite drink here: rye, honey, fresh apple juice - wonderful for the cold season

    Got the blend of 2 frozen cocktails. It was a sampler basically which I am so happy I did because the dollar difference let me do 2 cocktails in 1. They make great drinks and have a chill vibe.

    Not exactly outdoors... but a truly excellent cocktail bar to visit on summer nights. Never too busy. Cocktails are my personal favorite in NYC. Black pepper Moscow mule is to die for.

    Cool spot in Greenpoint, slower early evening, gets v busy late. Try the French Sisters cocktail - tasty blend of St Germain and Champagne, laced with vodka. Easy drinking and delicious!

    Sister bar to the much-missed Elsa of Alphabet City. Be sure to try "Death of a Ladies Man" for smoke, spice, leather, and lemon in a glass. Can't go wrong really. Beautiful for dates.

    House barrel aged manhattan is amazing. Also if you like absinthe drinks, you absolutely won't go wrong with The Broken Mirror. Staff is super friendly too. Great find.

    Get the frozen cocktails! The Black Pepper Moscow Mule and Orange Creamsicle are the perfect treat on a hot day.

    This is an absolutely beautiful bar. The pipe "chandelier", the white tiles and panels, perfection. The drinks are great and there's a happy hour until 8 that inclues sazeracs and old fashioneds!

    Little sister of the East Village cocktail bar Elsa. Try the Boxer Beetle (blackberry bourbon, rose hip grenadine, allspice dram, rosemary).

    The drinks are good but the real reason to go is for the space itself. Come with a group, it's very roomy.

    The suburban shake and peach mezcal are two of the best cocktails I've ever had. With refreshingly unique cocktails, Ramona is a beautifully designed space

    For those who have spent their fair share of time exploring the borough's ultra-meticulous mixology spots, Ramona will feel quite relaxed than the average hipster bar. Read more

    Delicious cocktails, big open space. Good place to meet up with friends for a drink or two before going out.

    Great cocktail bar, attentive bartenders without being noisy. Get there early on the weekend if you want any chance of sitting down.

    The menu features many of the cocktails you know/love from Elsa (New Partner, Broken Mirror, Death of a Ladies Man), with a few notable additions (Boxer Beetle, hot drinks). No snacks yet, though!

    A very romantic place where cocktails are stellar. Try the last of the whiskey cocktail list.

    Proof of Greenpoint's gentrification. Amazing cocktails and beautiful interior. My new go-to bar.

    $15 for a cocktail? Feels perfectly reasonable in this gorgeous space. They're worth it.

    Badass cocktails. Get the barrel aged negroni or the orange creamsicle. Enjoy the tile-themed decor.

    Cute bar on two floors. I actually didn’t like the two cocktails I had that much :-S but it’s good for going in a group

    Its only for drinking. They have a cheese plate or meat plate that barely sustains one person. Too loud for a date nite maybe for friends as preempt to rest of nite.

    Elsa's sister bar. Lots of great cocktails. If you want something smokey go with the death of a ladies man.
