Yawning Cobra

Wow, this spot has some really solid drinks in a sexy space. The "Say Cheese" was my favorite with a ton of parmesean in the drink. Everything seemed extremely cared for from the service to the space. I do wish the space was a little less loud, as I'm not going to a cocktail bar for this level of noise, but I think with some acoustic tiles they could fix that. You should get a reservation if you come, it was necessary when we went for 3 - we probably could have walked in with 2, but there's not a lot of space for 3 or 4 to sit. Every cocktail we had was good and the staff is able to speak to the cocktails intelligently. I'll definitely be coming back as everything is inventive and fun, and I do want to try the food.

Great experience for birthday night!They are really sweet and amazing people xx The dashi broth as a starter for drinking was pretty nice like Japanese style.Loved every cocktails they are wonderful !!And some Japanese chicken was amazing xThe one thing I just not sure was the music.. 90s hiphop kinda vibe ain't fits for the cool hidden bar. Would love to come back!

This place looks good on instagram and probabiy have friends driven reviews. This bar is, however, an absolute joke. 1. There is a sink on the bar. Literally on the bar. Yes, they wash cups there. Yes, water splashes. No, most bars don't have it on the bar; it's either below the bar or behind the bar.2. The bar itself is made of rough stone. Yes, bags and shoes scratch on it. Yes, knees too.3. Staff and owners all mingle in an odd "nobody really has a role" service. Bartenders wash dishes then make drinks. Owners? just lounge around not interacting with the customers to see how they are doing.There are a lot more details I could mention, but I would suggest they go check out real bars that are run well.Beyond all this, the drinks are horrid. Hands down the worst drinks I've ever had. Limited choices with terrible flavor profiles at prices that rival top bars in NYC.

Cute place, love the sneaky entrance, love that they have mocktails & very unique drinks on the menu. The tables have one big chair and then the other chairs are teeny tiny stools haha. Also I would have loved it if they had turned the heat up because my feet were literally numb! My friend let them know about a dairy allergy & they forgot about it a number of times, but definitely meant no harm.

cool cocktail bar with a laidback atmosphere. the cocktails were very well made and interesting, a long list that has something for everyone. you start off the experience with a cup of dashi which is nice. cocktails on the pricier side but worth it

Came for their soft opening and the vibes, drinks, and food are immaculate. Perfect place to catch up with friends or go on a date.For drinks, we got The Tides and Not So Zen. The Tides is their version of a long island iced tea, definitely on the stronger side if that is your style. Not So Zen was my personal favorite -- it was light and refreshing, slightly sweet and not too strong.I would also highly recommend their food items!! The fried chicken was delicious, a strong contender to double chicken please's fried chicken (I arguably like the one at yawning cobra better). The chicken was so tender and juicy, and perfectly battered with a nice crisp. Did not feel too oily either which I loved. the fried chicken paired well with their cucumbers, which are extremely refreshing. The cucumbers were coated in a sauce which had a greek yogurt base, and the flavors of the greek yogurt were really refreshing. The sauce also had tiny bits of bacon in it, adding a unique twist to the dish. Overall, would highly recommend this bar. Service was great, ambiance is sleek, and food and drinks are delicious!

Cute new cocktail bar in Bowery perfect for a date night or catching up on the tea. Upon arrival you're greeted with some warm soup to prep your belly for what's about to happen. It was tasty by the way. My friend and I ordered some cocktails and shared the fried chicken- definitely recommend trying. Service was on point and vibes were just right. Definitely check it out.
