Guest of a GuestApril 27Sneak into a hidden favorite. The Tippler is located beneath Chelsea Market. They are known for serving up strong drinks, making it a great first date, liquid courage option. Read more
Saif DiaFebruary 27If brass monkey was an underground, slightly more upscale, cocktail bar, it would be this.
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 29Good to get in on the earlier side, because the line really starts to get long on a Saturday night. I had the new special cocktail with coke, lime, and more. It was great!
Rebecca YiJanuary 1Good place when you're meeting a larger crowd. They have a photo booth by the bathrooms!
Megan MastersNovember 7, 2016It was ridiculously crowded on a Saturday night. Not worth it.Upvoted Apr 1
Jen RiosSeptember 5, 2016My cocktail tasted like arugula and I liked it. Seriously get a cocktail here and let your tastebuds explore.
Saarim ZamanJuly 14, 2016Hard to find, but once you're in it's great. The cocktails are super tasty and the space is awesome.
Melissa MonsalveJune 5, 2016The space is great, tucked under Chelsea market. A little escape with great cocktails and random books. Snag a table if you can!
One of my favorite bars in NY. The Moscow Mule is divine.
Anthony PopeoMay 28, 2016Good with coworkers; also worked well as a last stop (it gets quieter later).
- Aaron FlattApril 23, 2016Excellent cocktails and warm and friendly service in spite of the huge Saturday mid-day crowd. Nice speakeasy vibe without the pretension
Rachel CApril 10, 2016Excellent cocktails and friendly service in spite of the huge Saturday afternoon crowd. Nice speakeasy vibe without the pretension
Never had a bad cocktail. Get the Crippler or the Darth Fader if they're on the menu
Josh AFebruary 12, 2016Awesome bar underneath Chelsea Market. Unique cocktails, cool industrial vibe. One of the best bars I visited in New York.
Dane WilliamsFebruary 5, 2016If you like spending your Saturday nights standing in a long line, Meatpacking district is for you.
Hit or miss depending on the crowd, but cool spot nonetheless. Occasionally closed so look for neon sign above entrance. Strong drinks from skilled cocktail makers. Underground -> limited cell signal.
ZZubinJanuary 8, 2016A good, busy, after work spot if you're in meat packing or southern Chelsea. Have too many drinks and stumble to Los Tacos No.1
Lauren MacDecember 5, 2015Love this place. Great drinks, not snooty, wide open space, rarely a line. A rare find in the Meatpacking District.
Natalie KNovember 30, 2015Wonderful low key cocktail spot. They make cocktails to taste - you're not limited to the menu.
JP ParkOctober 13, 2015Great late night cocktail spot. Good for groups and parties but know it'll be tough to have a conversation here.
ブルーノOctober 6, 2015Loved this bar! Came here for pre dinner cocktails and it reminded me of some of my fav places here in Italy. Cozy ambiance, great drinks, fair prices, and friendly staff.
Jessie CatanaSeptember 18, 2015Sometimes it's packed and super loud with beautiful looking people, other times it's pretty chill. Over all a good choice for the neighborhood if you're not in the mood for B&Ters at the Gansevoort.
Samiha KhanAugust 15, 2015Is it just me or is this place always filled with dudes? Drinks are good and strong and the music here is nice too. Kind of a speakeasy because it's a bit of a maze down before actually entering.
Great cocktails, love the booty Collins. Come weeknights, it's packed with the preclub crowd weekends
Ryan AmbsJuly 8, 2015Someone should tell the sad looking men being lead around Chelsea market that there is literally a bar right under their noses
NicoleJune 3, 2015Really great vibe down here! Cool decor, cozy seating, high ceilings, and music low enough to talk over. The Booty Callins drink is like a vodka Master Cleanse. Low cell service but free wifi.
Chris EvansMay 31, 2015Booty Collins is a great cocktail, James and the Giant Peace is another refreshing choice.
Matthew CaldecuttApril 26, 2015Skip the Moscow Mule and Tea Party, but the pretzels are as good as described in other tips.
RonniApril 25, 2015A big crowd but not packed (still had standing room) with a photo booth by the restrooms. I had a Chelsea Smash that was good
Paul KardousApril 14, 2015Bartenders are friendly, know their drinks, and can improvise very well. The space is cozy but still good for groups. No cell service inside which is a good and bad thing.
JillianMarch 18, 2015Booty Collins: fun to say, fun to drink. Side of white bean toast, please and thank you.
Patrick BaskinMarch 16, 2015Solid drinks, cool ambience, come early in the night, not worth the wait after 9 pm
Brian DaurelleMarch 7, 2015Crowded but not insanely crowded, pricey but not insanely pricey, good cocktails but not insanely good cocktails.
🍚March 2, 2015Trendy WV bar. Romantic and nice. Go there with friends from out of town. They'll like it
Andrew GattoFebruary 28, 2015Good vibe, good crowd, drinks weren't expensive- definitely a chill spot to take a date or bring a group
Alex DamashekJanuary 26, 2015Douchey bro bar where you have to wait online even though it's not crowded.
CarolynJanuary 19, 2015Good cocktails. Good music. Good beer on tap. Check out the photo booth. Good for groups.- Amanda CicconeJanuary 18, 2015Booty Collins was incredible, fresh, tangy and delicious! Picklebacks were delicious too, def homemade pickle juice. Can't wait to go back & try the homemade fireball! Wait outside was well worth it!
Nate KowalJanuary 5, 2015It reminds me of a Brooklyn space in Manhattan. It's underground, cozy and perfectly lit. Great frequently changing draft craft beer selection.
- AJ GriemDecember 27, 2014An awesome bar, with a great atmosphere. There is something about bars that you don't know are there until you find them.
Dipika AgrawalNovember 12, 2014Stopped by here for a drink after work once and found it to be quite cozy. Not too crowded and dimly lit..it was nice. Drinks were strong, & I already had a buzz going with just one whiskey ginger!
💎TNovember 5, 2014Nicely hidden bar right on the side of Chelsea Market. Very nice and intimate place.
IfeoluSeptember 12, 2014Great drinks, friendly bartenders, cool people, good music, and nice bar food!
Jon RiceSeptember 8, 2014The Golden Gem and Booty Collins are true gems. Get a platter of meat and cheese and trust the waitstaff to choose for you; they know what's up!
Clara BayarriSeptember 6, 2014Nice drinks bar. I'd definitely recommend snacking on a pretzel while you're there.
The Charming Snake is a great go-to cocktail. If you've got a stronger constitution, try The Crippler.
Eric VenkerAugust 22, 2014Great cocktails. Sit at the bar and ask the guys to make you something special. There are a few great drinks that are no longer on the menu. You can by asking about those.
Daniel KolevNovember 12, 2016Клуб полная хойня... Its like launch restaurant the music too quiet and everyone talking like screaming. Facking sh1t...
