Speakeasy · Lower East Side · 239 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: The best bespoke cocktails in NYC now? Sam Ross, the owner, created the Penicillin. Even if you don't like scotch, order it. Then get the "Ralphacillin", a riff with maple dark rum.
dsinsky: Apparently the owner (who bartends regularly) is the inventor of the penicillin and, unsurprisingly, his version is the best in the city. The imperial buck is also spectacular.
The New Yorker: “Attaboy has no menu; you suggest a mood or a flavor and the bartenders improvise, which they do proudly or gruffly.” Read more.
