Is it worth the trip?

Created by bartenders Shingo Gokan and Schneider, the venue blends Japanese precision with New York cocktail culture. Upstairs, Guzzle serves playful mixed drinks in a loud, energetic setting. Downstairs, Sip shifts the focus to technique-driven, high-end cocktails in a refined room.

The order matters more than the list: start with whatever the room is drinking, ask the bartender what is on the house list, and keep the first round simple.
