Weather Up

Go for the cocktails, and definitely be a bit adventurous with the 'bartenders choice.'

Tony bamonte recc as a cool looking place.
Infatuation has as good first date spot

Music is great, the location is great and so is the scene. However the drinks weren't great and the waiting service was the worst I've been to in new York so far. Shame because I really liked it otherwise.

Great whisky drinks and awesome oysters. The staff was only ok but the design of the place made up for it.

Weather Up is what I expected: a nice cocktail bar. I loved the subway-ish tiles on the ceiling, and the fact that the place wasn't dominated by wood paneling like most cocktail bars. I definitely wish it was a bit brighter in there though. Service was friendly enough, although a bit slow. I got a whiskey cocktail that was a take off on an old fashioned. It was alright, definitely not worth the $16 price tag. I was going to go more adventurous, but after trying my companion's more unique mezcal cocktail, I reneged on that (read: did NOT like haha). Overall for the price point this place wasn't bad, it was just sort of blah. For these prices, even a speakeasy has to produce a great atmosphere or one-of-a-kind cocktail; since that didn't happen here, I probably won't be back unless this absolutely fits the bill for some reason. Oh well, worth a shot and you can definitely do worse.
