    This was first time at Pigtail and I really it. Set in a basement but just recently remolded it is cozy but not crowded. The Iberico Pork - in almost every dish - was incredible. Fun night for cocktails and casual dishes. There 100 proof Manhattan was awesome!

    Cocktails were incredibly overpriced on the claim that they are “sciency”, but neither drink we ordered was well balanced. Ambiance is dark and moody but comes off cold.

    A rare cocktail bar that makes both inventive and drinkable cocktails. The bartenders are engaging and knowledgeable. Nice downstairs ambiance below Jaleo. Recommend for a fun drink exploration or intimate date.

    Another great experience at one of Jose Andre’s’ endeavors. The bartenders were engaging and knowledgeable and it was a treat to observe the artistry of the mixology. An intimate space well worth a stop for a creative quality drink. The pork fried steam bun and selection of cured meats added an extra delicious punch to the cocktails.
