Anyway Cafe & Bar: Dining | New York

A Brooklyn fixture since the 1990s, this quirky basement haunt pairs eclectic decor with a dimly lit, intimate charm. The main draw is the extensive lineup of housemade infused vodkas, spanning over a dozen creative flavors that feature prominently in their martini selection. To accompany the drinks, a small menu offers classic French-Russian bites. Live music—ranging from nightly jazz to Russian tunes—plays with no cover charge, creating a lively backdrop where tipping the musicians is the norm. It is an easygoing spot for a quiet weekday drink that quickly fills to the brim on weekend nights.
