REVIEW & BAR SUMMARY
Attaboy in New York City is an unmarked gem on Eldridge Street, a beacon for cocktail aficionados in search of an intimate and bespoke drinking experience. The bar inherits the legendary space once occupied by Milk & Honey, a pioneer in the modern craft cocktail movement. At Attaboy, the art of mixology is taken to new heights with a personalized approach; there are no set menus here. Instead, the bartenders engage with each patron, crafting one-of-a-kind cocktails that cater to individual tastes and preferences.
This hallowed ground of cocktail innovation is renowned for its masterfully executed classics as well as its inventive creations. One of the fan favorites is the Penicillin, a smoky, ginger-laced concoction that has earned a permanent spot in the modern bartender's repertoire. Another standout is the Attaboy's own signature drink, a delightful combination of rye, Campari, and vermouth christened the "Sam Ross," named after one of the bar's founders.
The bar's atmosphere is effortlessly cool, with a no-reservations policy that adds to its speakeasy vibe. The interior exudes a chic industrial aesthetic, with exposed brick walls and minimalist décor that allows the vibrant cocktail scene to take center stage. The ambiance is complemented by the soft glow of vintage light fixtures, creating a warm and welcoming environment for indulging in the craft of cocktail-making.
Attaboy is a haven for those who appreciate the finer nuances of mixology and a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the culmination of New York City's cocktail culture. Whether you're in the mood for something classic, adventurous, or entirely unexpected, the skillful bartenders at Attaboy are sure to stir up something that will tantalize your palate and leave a lasting impression.
