Best Cocktail Bars in Little Italy

There was a leak in roof where I happened to lay my vest/coat in the booth and my vest got soaked. Servervwas phenomenal. My food was excellent. I had the cod on top of a squash puree and spinach Very loud. Check-in was a bit confusing. Took a while to be seated. Had reservations. Expensive.

Amazing ! We arrived from Switzerland the same day, a bit tired of the trip and almost awake since 24hours, but Tim Young arrived and just did a crazy show, giving us a lot of energy ! Service was perfect, they really take time to do things right, oysters and caviar plate were tasty, I would’ve add some little toasts, but all good ☺️ We definitely recommend 🤩

We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly

Very hip place with sweeping NYC views. Drink prices are on the high end, but well worth it for this type of experience.

What an absolutely beautiful rooftop! There are options for both inside and outside seating - and given the overall atmosphere of both spaces, it’s really hard to choose between which one to sit! Otherwise, I think it was important to note that the noise level wasn’t at all obnoxious or too imposing on conversations, but sat at a perfect median given the otherwise lively energy of a SoHo-Manhattan rooftop. I can’t praise the ‘vibes’ enough in this regard. Our server, Jasmine (pardon any misspelling!) was a delight and delivered great presence at the table. One is tempted to feel lost and forgotten in such a bustling environment, but Jasmine never made us feel this way. Lastly, the food and drinks were fantastic: the Kiwi Swizzle and Strawberry Mai Tai are a must have; the chicken sandwich was an absolute dream with hearty tomatoes and a beautiful golden-brown breading, not otherwise forgetting the guacamole and chips and hamachi crudo which were stars in their own right.
