Try their mythical Lychee Martini! Delicious drink that will make you forget everything! Very noisy and busy place but it's worth the try!

Those 5$ lychee martinis!!! By the time me and my friends ordered 4th round I realized I loved it so much not because of the drink itself but because of the fruit! Lol. Cocktail itself is good too)

The vibe is great. The Lychee Martin was amazing. That's one of my favorite drink. They have good food as well. The owner Gary he such an amazing person & a good friend. I totally recommend this place

The chicken satay & spicy chicken dumplings are great...the calamari is a southeast Asian take on the traditional Italian app but is really good as well. Happy hour is 'til 10pm so that's a plus too!

Lychee Martini ($5 till 10pm)... best happy hour in the City. Great cocktails awesome bartenders. Bring a date or a group of friends you'll have a blast!

Great atmosphere and drinks. Killer salsa band playing live on a Sunday night. Crowd is a live one. No complaints.
Jim TaylorApril 9, 2015
The south-east Asian inspired small plates and tapas are great for earlier in the night when the crowd isn’t so busy, but are all flavorsome & delicious cocktail bites. Read more

What can I say "lychee martini anyone". The lychee martinis are awesome couple with happy hour until 10pm. The atmosphere and people are cool.

Happy hour drinks pack a nice punch....a bit on the cozy side does get packed during happy hour but that's to be expected. Delicious appetizers.
Leemor YuravlivkerAugust 10, 2019
Good lychee martinis for $7 happy hour & $4 Narragansetts. Super loud but fun vibe
Meg FarmerOctober 8, 2014
Lychee martini is a must. Carlos is a great bartender. Draws an outgoing crowd. Enjoy happy hour and make a few new friends.
Lauren AlexaSeptember 29, 2016

Best Lychee martini in NYC. Happy hour is insane so get there early. And don't leave without trying the fried ginger wings!
NYC EcloguesDecember 19, 2011
Come in, relax & have a $4 Lychee Martini. If you're here that's your drink & you're looking to have a few. The food here is weak but the happy hour deals are extensive so you won't notice.
Jack OsborneOctober 1, 2018
Doesn't matter if you're counting them as one of your five a day, do not binge eat their alcohol soaked Lychees. I learned this lesson the hard way.

$6 lychee martinis every day until 10 PM! Pregame here.
Dex BlumenthalJuly 17, 2015
Once you come here, you will never go anywhere else. Best Bloody Mary on the planet. Culinary genius meets ideal atmosphere.
Yura LeeAugust 2, 2012
It's a tiny place. If coming with a huge crowd, make a reservation. If not, watch out for waiters glaring at you. The lychee martinis are STRONG. 1-3 will leave you better than good.
Ashlee HonAugust 6, 2014
$6 lychee martinis, sangria, and wine during happy hour from 5-10pm. Make reservations to ensure you get a table!
RcLADecember 24, 2014
Good food if you can get a table. Great happy hour specials. Gets pretty loud.
Christy SmithMay 12, 2019
The happy hour is a good deal — 7 dollar cocktails and 4 dollar beers.
Elaine RogersMarch 19, 2017
Lychee cocktails for $6 until 10pm. What's not to like! Get the ginger shrimp and calamari
Algernon BDecember 20, 2012
Get the Lychee martini of course. It's even better during happy hour cause its only 5 bucks. Worth every penny.
Chrissy KApril 10, 2018
Their lychee martinis are dangerous. They’re so good you keep ordering them and then realize you’re waaay to drunk
CarolJanuary 29
Love the late night happy hour. They’re known for the $8 lychee martinis.
PeiNovember 2, 2013
Awesome happy hour...$5 cocktails! Non-divey lounge with dive prices...what's not to love?

he Lychee is a beautiful thing, these drinks go down real quick, and the price helps them go down even quicker. check out the rest of our review and our night out. Read more

Lychee Martinis = yum ... great happy 7 days a week from 5 pm to 10 pm $6 drinks! Cannot beat it!

Keith is a doll, very attentive and sweet. But, if you're here on a Saturday ask for Xavier. Call him "The lawn mower" to see how he reacts.
J BSeptember 16, 2017
The best cocktails in LES. Come for the lychee martini. Music not amazing though

$5 Lychee Martinis... These have to be the best ones in NYC. As well as the cheapest.

Lychee martini happy hours are the best. Pretty good tapas to go with.
KarinaJune 23, 2013
cheap drinks, and if you're pretty, they may even be free :)
JC EarleMarch 7, 2010
Really nice martini bar in a great area. It's nice and big but one of the waitresses is kind of a shrew. The bartenders are cool though. Tip: Go to the bar and get your own drink, service is slow
Arielle DixonSeptember 13, 2016
So upset.... The food & drinks were soooo good, the service- not so much. They don't split checks and are very high pressed about ensuring they get their 20% gratuity GTFOH!
New York HabitatNovember 7, 2011
This mellow LES lounge offers $5 drinks every night until 10PM. Try one of the martinis, kick back, and relax.
Monica PApril 25, 2013
Happy hour, only 5 bucks for happy hour. Lychee martinis are super strong but taste real goood !
VahidJune 16, 2016
Happy hour till 10pm. Lychee martini is recommended
TiffanyNovember 2, 2015
Happy hour until 10pm every day🍸 definitely get the lychee martini
Sonie OsagieSeptember 21, 2013
Amazing happy hour specials. Lychee martini is great, as is the chili salmon.
Harrison JohnsonJune 2, 2017
Lychee martini is the key player here, great date spot, food is good too
Divanna GuabaSeptember 9, 2011
Great lychee martinis, unlike most water down happy hour drinks. Awesome food as well! Freaking love this place!
Annie LuOctober 12, 2012
Cozy and intimate, with good service. I hear the food's pretty good but I've only ever ordered drinks.
Sami AvilesMay 11, 2013
Great lychee martini for $5, but not enough seats to sit or hang out. Can't really count it as a "lounge".
ReevesFebruary 2, 2015
Lychee Martinis and steamed spinach dumplings are a must try
ElisaJuly 11, 2013
Great lychee martinis and atmosphere if you're willing to put up with the slowest service ever :)
Lianne StokesOctober 19, 2011
Sunday and Monday get your Lychee martini for 4 clams! You won't remember leaving, but parting is sweet sorrow anyway.
