Yawning Cobra

Cool new bar with nice speakeasy vibes. Dashi shot was a nice freebie. A little on the pricier side drinks wise ($22-24) but $24 is the new $20 in 2025 I guess.

This speakeasy has some of the most creative cocktails and the bartenders are meticulous and focused on every detail that makes up your special drink. The ambience is cozy the music is chill vibes. Everyone was friendly and helpful and made great suggestions. Thank you

Great cocktail bar with a creative, japanese-themed menu. Shoutout to Michelle, who makes everyone feel welcome. Try the Imo Yaro here! Prices are a bit above average here

Hidden Cocktail bar with a Speakeasy environment. Bar is extremely cool and clean and seems to be asian inspired. Good for date night or hanging out with a couple friends for a more sophisticated talkative night. Music is perfect volume and very tasteful. Will definitely be stopping by again.

Drinks are pricey but worth it. Very unique and bold flavor combinations in an intimate and classy setting.

I was invited by a friend to try out some drinks and I am GLAD that I did. The Bartender Sebastian was a TOUR De Force and prepared me several LOVELY drinks 🍸🍹🍷🥃 his colleague Anson was also quite helpful and knowledgeable as well. I will definitely recommend this place to others am will for sure come back❤️

Only 11 ratings?!?!?! This place was awesome. The music was low enough that we could hear each other and have a nice conversation. Drinks were original and different.

Decent cocktails at best. Rum cocktail with sweet potato was good. The not so zen one was also fine. The tides was a clarified cocktail but still had a bit of bitterness. Not worth the $26 price point in my opinion. Bar looks super modern with potential for a good atmosphere. The bar is new so they’ll probably just working out the kinks.

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 x The 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.

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.
