🍸 Stories in Every Glass
Ligaw is a lesbian-owned Lower East Side queer bar at 87 Ludlow St, run by partners Leighann and Katrina. At Ligaw, heritage meets hospitality through a Filipino-inspired menu of thoughtful cocktails with low alcohol content.
Start with the balanced group chat cocktail, then work through a list where each drink is tied to a story. Small bites keep pace with the glasses, including pizza buns, pastries, and a charcuterie plate for the table, and wine is on hand for anyone skipping cocktails.
The dark, intimate room balances elegance with comfort, and the candlelit glow makes it an easy date night bar or a quiet spot to catch up with friends after work. Hours run Tuesday through Thursday from 5 PM to 11 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to midnight, with group reservations available for a larger table.
