Antler - New York

We had a fantastic spontaneous evening at this place in July while on our way to a gig at Rockwood Music Hall during our visit to New York from Australia. Matt, the bartender, treated us like old friends, and we enjoyed some excellent drinks at very reasonable prices. It was so good that we returned on our way back home. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC!

The bartender was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very relaxed, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine.

I enjoyed the soju shots here—they were smooth—and Eric, the bartender, was friendly and approachable. The bathroom was clean, and I appreciated the back area with its cozy couches; it’s not often you find a bar with such comfortable seating! However, it was a bit too dark for my liking, and the place felt somewhat eerily empty on a Monday night at 11:45 PM.

Found this place on a whim and so glad we did! CHEAP drinks considering where you are a lot of places in Manhattan charge $20 25 a cocktail, here it was $13. The vibe was kind of speakeasy in the sense that it was dim, a little quiet and tucked away, and overall really great environment. Loved it and had a great time. The bartender was really kind and helpful in recommending drinks. We had Frozen Agave Paloma (pictured), Mule, Cocchi Tonic, and Spritz. All great drinks and would recommend! Would love to come back next time I'm in the city.

Good beer selection, bartenders are friendly. The cocktail menu is also great. They can't serve hard liquor, so they get super creative with their cocktails.
