Super laid-back and vibey speakeasy. We were in Chelsea Market and decided to get drinks; we were seated immediately although the host told us it was pretty rare to have a walk-in opening for 5 (Saturday around 6pm). The bar is very dim but has a nice retro theme. The menu bar code is on a mini floppy disc thing (idk what it's called I was born in 2001) and the music is chill. The drinks were very strong (which I'm into) and I they felt very creative. I also like how much the presentation differed from drink to drink. My favorite drink of the ones we tried was the Security Blanket, which came in a really cool cup that I wanted to keep. Typical cocktail prices. Overall, nice place hidden away from the chaos of Chelsea Market good for a drink and yapping with your friends.

Wish this was closer to my apt so I could be a regular!Such a sexy vibe with incredible drinks. We tried three or four different ones, and all were delicious and well made. Playlist that was going in the bar was top notch to where we asked if the playlist was public to download. Highly recommend for a date night or a few friends grabbing drinks to catch up.

Cocktails we tried were great and creative, fun!Skewers were pretty good, the rest of the food mostly fried bites.Cute spot hidden in Chelsea market.

Really cool bar in the chelsea neighborhood! I love the retro japanese vibes and the music is so good in here. Drinks and food were great but where I docked a star was the seating situation. All of the tables are communal which I personally do not like. I like having privacy in my conversations. The only seating that seems private is the bar which doesn't seem like you can reserve. Additionally I felt so bad for the people sitting in the giant communal table, the long log chair seems soo uncomfortable and was form over function decision

Awesome little Japanese speakeasy in the Chelsea Market area - great DJ spinning old school hits and great bites to eat as well as good, interesting cocktails. The vibe inside is hip with dim lighting - a bit loud with the music but it's a great spot to grab drinks! The Addictive Cabbage ($8) was good - sesame oil, chicken bouillon cube, sesame seeds soy sauce ... it was indeed, addictive! The Tots ($12) were bomb - crispy with nori, parm and chives served with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. I tried the Security Blanket cocktail ($19) which had kinako milk washed rye, adzuki, demerara and bitters - interesting ingredients, two of which I have no idea what it is, but it tasted great. I would be interested in coming back and trying more of their food + cocktails!

This used to be my favorite bar because I love the bartenders and the sound system is good and the cocktails are delicious ... however I came on a Friday to see my friend DJ and it really felt like my friend and I weren't welcome /werent wanted. They kinda kept trying to kick us out (we didn't have reservations but were willing to wait). There were two seats at the bar for a long time so we finally asked nicely one more time and they let us sit. They also charged an extra drink to my card. I will say the food was pretty good (gyudon and salmon don). . But just the simple fact that we felt unwelcomed and they charged me extra was the downfalls for me.

Cute izakaya place in Chelsea to enjoy a few drinks and snack on some small bites. We walked in without a reservation on a weekend and luckily there was a table available. Service was friendly and I appreciated that my glass of water was always full.We ordered some skewers and tots to enjoy with our cocktails and everything was pretty good. I found the tots particularly very well fried with a great crisp and the sauce it came with paired nicely.It's a small spot that does get busy around dinner. We luckily got there between lunch and dinner so there were some spots but if you're planning on coming at peak times, definitely will need a reservation.

Food: 4.5/5 pretty decent food but small portion as you can expect in Izakaya. Tots were amazing, perfectly crumbed and probably one of the best i had in the city service: 5/5 attentive staffs, constantly filling water if the glass was emptyAmbiance: 5/5 lighting was good, felt like speakeasy with not too loud music. Overall, very decent bar experience, good for first date or hang w friends. Price can be quite expensive as one skewer was $7. Other small bites were fine though

Very cool bar inside of Chelsea market! The place was very spacious and great spot to hang out with friends or a date night. They have happy hour Tues-Fri from 4-7 pm.Service was fast and our server was super friendly.My favs from the menu:Cocktails - Blank Slate and Cafe CafeFood - DIY Handroll, Mentaiko Mac, and sliders

Really cute spot nestled into Chelsea Market. Their speaker system is awesome and the cocktails are lovely!
