A SoHo Cocktail Room With Exposed Brick and Vinyl

Start with the espresso martini, then let the room set the pace. The drink arrives pale and foamy, crowned with coffee beans, while the surrounding pours move through citrus, olives, and amber whiskey. The effect feels moody without turning precious.

Inside, 142 Sullivan Bar keeps things compact and conversational. White exposed brick runs through the room, and the wall can carry projected Soul Train clips when the vinyl is spinning. The menu leans wine focused, with craft beers and curated drinks in the mix, while a few outdoor seats extend the neighborhood local feeling onto Sullivan Street. The late window is real, as the bar opens at 5 pm Monday through Saturday and stays open until 1 am, a useful window for a post dinner drink or a late start. It holds a 4.6 rating from 204 reviews. Come ready for a small room, a soundtrack with personality, and cocktails that reward a little attention.
