Speakeasy · Lower East Side · 239 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: The best bespoke cocktails in NYC now? Sam Ross, the owner, created the Penicillin. Even if you don't like scotch, order it. Then get the "Ralphacillin", a riff with maple dark rum.
Matthew Ferguson: One of my favorite speakeasies in the city. Everything they make is delicious because it is specially made for you!
The New Yorker: “Attaboy has no menu; you suggest a mood or a flavor and the bartenders improvise, which they do proudly or gruffly.” Read more.
