JonahNovember 16, 2017Beautiful bar. Delicious drinks. Very cool menu book. Havana vibe. Great for a date. Perfect background music. Highly recommend the empanadas and save the sauce!
harryhSeptember 27, 2016It's a great bar and you should definitely go, but I wish they would embrace the building they are in and open the windows. As is, it could be in a basement somewhere instead of a pier with a view.
JanaJune 19, 2018This place reminds me of the Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Lots of charm, personality and delicious cocktails. Definitely on the pricey side.
Ben MackeyAugust 12, 2018The cocktail menu here is unparalleled! Spend a few minutes working thru the menu and be sure to try a few. I have never been disappointed with the drinks here.
Zack SheppardJuly 22, 2017It's hard to encompass how well designed and exemplary the experience of this bar is. You should go here.
Terrific cocktails and food but be prepared to feel transported way beyond the nearby shores of NYC to a more relaxed Caribbean setting. Live jazz music on Sunday nights!
From day 1, the Coronation has been my favourite drink here. Wonderful atmosphere and the setting is beautiful with live music often.
Escape CardonaAugust 1, 2018Awesome lowkey spot. Open after 5pm so plan for it . The bartenders are all dressed for the part and the drinks are good. Order the crispy cuban fries for starters.
Maritza SpitlerAugust 6, 2017Rum & Cola. It's a must. If you like mezcal, get THE Presidente! As the best new bar in America, you can't go wrong at all. Oh and their aperitif is delish!
Before this, Dead Rabbit was my favorite bar in NYC. Now I have two favorites. Get the el presidente and the celery drink in the second section. Also the oysters, the ahí tuna crudo, and the fries.
Joe BurgessOctober 1, 2016Inside pier A. Absolutely stunningly beautiful inside. Great service. The pisco and tea was subtle and delicious. by the same folks who did Dead Rabbit so if you liked that place you'll like this one.
Great spot for a light dinner with drinks and quiet enough for a conversation. You can't miss with a daiquiri and the red snapper. Service was surprisingly friendly & attentive.
Ashley AlvarezFebruary 4, 2017The decor transports you to another world. Bar staff is friendly and fun. Cocktail list has some unusual gems. Recommend trying the Green Tea & Pisco for a refreshing sip!
Ernesto GutierrezAugust 4, 2018Perfect date spot. Cuisine is as good as the cocktail drinks. The hanger steak was divine. Juicy steak accompanied by rice and beans with a hint of lemon on every bite.
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018BlackTail NYC step back into the devil-may-care early days of aviation. A time when luxurious flying boats delivered the thirsty into the embrace of tropical sunshine, of decadent cocktails – of Cuba.- Ben MackeyAugust 12, 2018Hands down one of the best cocktail bars in the world! Live jazz on Sunday nights.
- Ernesto GutierrezDecember 8, 2016Words fail to describe me the vibe you feel in this place. Take a trip to the past in prohibition era Cuba. Cocktails and service are top notch. Being your girl to impress her.
Josh AndersonSeptember 10, 2016This Cuba-themed cocktail lounge is from the creators of Dead Rabbit. The decor gives a feeling of authenticity; elegant but not pretentious. And the cocktails (especially rum-based) are delicious.- Alexandria McGrathJune 26, 2018Has a post-Cuba during prohibition theme. A lot of the hits are under punches, with options like the Nacional — a blend of Rum, French Bitters, apricot, banana, pineapple, lime, and yuzu.
- Jackson IsaacsonOctober 24, 2016Incredible cocktails, plenty to choose from on both the food and drinks list. Excellent date spot, though expensive.
Jenn CoughlinAugust 31, 2016Shrimp sugarcane-skewers were unreal, spare ribs were delicious, all the cocktails were on point. Decor is gorgeous and thoughtfully done. Will be back!- Arjun SethJune 30, 2017Everything about this place is phenomenal. Service, menu, options, class, music, even the view outside is amazing. Go. Stop reading this, and go.
Trae FNovember 13, 2016Amazing cocktails in a lovely atmosphere. The cocktail menu is a small novel...literally
Alexa ScordatoSeptember 22, 2016Yuca fries and rabbit Cubano are great for pairing with one of the punches. Get the pineapple milk if you're a fan of piña coladas.- Phenomenal cocktails, bartenders and venue. Get the bartender to mix for you after you tell him your preferences, works out well.
If you want something unique, try the Alaska. It blends gin, vermouth, cucumber, melon, and yellow chartreuse into something phenomenal.
Rebecca MazzaJanuary 19, 2018Fantastic service and the sloppy joe empanadas are great! All cocktails are great but not quite as good as Dead Rabbit.
Lauren DocktorNovember 17, 2017The live music and sitting near the bar! They give you a mini daiquiri while you decide on which cocktail to enjoy 🤩
ᴡ ElliotMarch 5, 2017Decir and atmosphere are 👌🏼, octopus is disappointing, shrimp is delicious, save room for the tres leches
Honghui YuApril 9, 2017Cuban themed bar with decor that will transport you to 1950s Havana. For drinks, best to stick with rum based cocktails like the Hello Stranger.
Jen RiosSeptember 5, 2016Amazing location. Gorgeous building. Friendly staff. Huge cocktail book is overwhelming but you can always ask for a bartenders choice.- Gulf Stream: excellent vegetal cocktail. tastes like liquid pickles (in a good way);; Fat Cat: very good apricot shandy
Ale TowerMarch 18, 2017Amazing all around: cocktails, food, ambience, service, music. Easily in my Top 5 cocktail bars in the world.
Dina RughaniSeptember 27, 2016Drinks and atmosphere are great. Try the courtesan, lollipop chicken, and cuban sandwich
Matthew FergusonAugust 26, 2017Get the Razzle Dazzle drink. A great combination of spicy and cucumber. Wonderful Cuban atmosphere too!
AmateurConciergeJanuary 14, 2017Great service and a lot of investment in the details. Cocktails are varied and tasty. A bit overproduced / shiny n new for true schoolers. Feels like ur in a midtown hotel a bit
Jess KonoSeptember 18, 2016Must get their celery vodka cocktail. It's my favorite cocktail, ever! Refreshing and smooth.
Wendy NobleJune 1, 2019Fantastic drinks. So many cocktails to choose from. Ask the bartender Emanuel for a recommendation
Dan RobertsJune 2, 2017Amazingly deep cocktail menu, fun Cuban theme, but the standout is the food menu.
Rich WatsonJuly 14, 2017I've been to 100s of cocktail bars. This is now #1 on my list. Unbelievable rum cocktails.
Vishnu NathOctober 2, 2018The soul sister cocktail is just amazing - savory, sweet and everything in between. A must try.
Jacob FordDecember 1, 2016When you are handed your free postcard which they promise to mail anywhere, have it sent directly to where you’re sitting—down to the chair—and then don’t move until it arrives.
- CarolineApril 15, 2017Prohibition-era Cuba expat style bar. Period glassware. Good views of NY harbor.
Josh FerryApril 20, 2017Solid date spot! Send a postcard with out for free as you leave Cuba in Manhattan!
Brian PonceFebruary 23, 2019Amazing Cuban food and libations. Worth the wait for a reservation. Where will you send your postcard?
