It’s no wonder this sexy cocktail cave below the Hoxton Hotel is one of the city’s best bars. With Boka Restaurant Group behind the scenes, it’s a favorite for an intimate date night or an elevated evening with friends. 

The vibe: The Fulton Market spot is appointed with an inviting blue velvet banquet, a massive curated bookshelf and a stage where guests can catch live music performances three nights a week. 

The food: You won’t find any food on the menu here, but upstairs, Cira and Cabra offer plenty of sumptuous bites to tide you over. 

The drinks: With 52 cocktails to choose from, you’ll have plenty of options to try something new, like The Curious Water-Bearer (bourbon, cynar, chamomile, blackberry, lemon, egg white and bitters) or the delicate Dotonbori Blues (vodka, vermouth, sherry, red bean and salted vanilla).

Time Out tip: There’s a $10 cover for walk-ins from 9pm to midnight on nights when a band is performing, typically Thursdays through Saturdays. We recommend securing your spot and avoiding the charge by making a reservation in advance.
