The Up Up - New York

Had a great experience here, enjoyed a couple of unique whiskey cocktails which is rare since most cocktail bars only have slight variations on old fashions and Manhattan’s. Knowledgeable, efficient service. Elegant decor, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend making reservations, there was a 2.5 hour wait when I arrived, so I went to another cocktail bar and 1.5 hours later got the text that my seat was ready here. It made for a lovely evening!

Beautiful, unique, inventive cocktails. The bartenders are friendly and eager to hear what you are looking for in a cocktail. It can be off-putting to get into (basement, mandatory carding and unnecessary waiting) but it’s a classic Nee York cocktail bar and a very good one at that

Great bar with an authentic speakeasy experience. Tasty drinks and lots to choose from. Polite knowledgeable staff made the visit all the more worth it.

Overall rating: 4.7 Very very intimate bar in the heart of west village. I sat at the bar with a few other solo folks and got a very early reso like around 6 or so. I liked the vibe, but I’m not sure if I’d be back solo or even with a friend. It’s almost tooo dark. I’d definitely come back for a date if I’m trying to flex. Drinks felt a tad expensive but I understand. I bet it’s a different atmosphere at night. Recommend giving it a try.

This was my first time dining at The Up and Up, and I really strongly recommend this place. I wasn't aware that you needed to RSVP, but the staff was nice and had some avalibilty, so they let us dine in for an hour! I got the Happy Trails drink which is, as described, a take on a pineapple daiquiri, and the green drink was called a midori smash. We also finished the night with screen door slam. Of the 3 the screen door was my favorite. The tender we had was very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations according to taste preferences. They also gifted us some shots on the house for a special occasion. Overall the drinks were at a fair price and tasted great. We left feeling warm and very happy. Lovely dark and chill atmosphere and I'll definitely be returning <3
