The vibe

Recommended by The Infatuation ('the good parts of Dimes Square without the crowds'); featured in Time Out NY's LES happy hour coverage; noted tapas and oyster bar directly adjacent to Bar Belly on Orchard Street, praised for quality Spanish-inspired small plates and cocktail program. An underrated Dimes Square gem with one of the most complete happy hour menus in the area — dollar oysters, discounted vermouth service, and Spanish cocktails in a stylish room that doesn't attract Cervo's-level crowds.
