Bars to try in New York
StEight(behind KUNIYA HAIR)
Bar · Lower East Side
Japanese bar behind a hair salon?
Twin Tails
Southeast Asian restaurant · Upper West Side
"In August, I wrote about Bad Roman’s spiked Diet Coke. Now I’ve discovered this cocktail at Twin Tales, the South Asian restaurant opened in the same mall by the same restaurant group. The name — Salted Lychee Martini — doesn’t necessarily telegraph the impressive balance I found in the finished drink. Floral fruit and gentle sweetness were tamed by salinity with a floating lime leaf for garnish. I liked it with an order of extra-crunchy chicken spring rolls. "
Chinato
Cocktail bar · Lower East Side
Most of the cocktails at the new bar Chinato — run by the former research and development head of Double Chicken Please, Ray Zhou — have a song pairing. I ordered the “Pancakes for Dinner,” an average tune, but a thoroughly enjoyable beverage — flavorful, strong, satisfying. Small plate offerings were developed by a Jung Sik chef. Chinato lacks the pageantry of DCP, but its cocktails live up to the hype. –Drew Sussman

Yawning Cobra
Cocktail bar · NoHo
Japanese-y underground bar
@newyorknibbles The sexiest new cocktail bar just opened up below Bowery. Located between 3rd and 4th streets on Bowery you will find steps that lead you below Bowery and open up into a cavernous, dungeon-like yet chic and sexy space. The cocktail menu is unlike anything I have seen and the bites are delicious. This spot is ideal for an evening on the town and perfect for a first date! MY FAVORITE COCKTAILS: 🍠 IMO YARO: Sweet potato, butter, egg yolk, black sesame, rum, cognac 🍎 Kao Piepie: Cinnamon, apple, maple syrup, smoked cream, glenlivet 🍵 Green Grass Of Home: Red bean, green tea powder, laphroaig 🥥 The Tides: Coconut water, Japanese plum, grapefruit peel oil, Mezcal, tequila, apricot brandy 🍏 A Scene At The Sea: Green apple, kombucha, wakame, vodka 🐓 Cobra Fried Chicken 🥒 Cobra Cukes #nyctok #nycopenings #cocktailtok #cocktailbar #thingstodonyc #coolplaces #bestcocktails #newyorker #drinktok
