House Of Dandy

House of Dandy or H.O.D. is very easy to miss, as it is just as dark inside as it is outside, but definitely worth seeking out. While the bar doesn’t have the deepest selection or whiskeys or rums, it does have a nice selection in just about every category and the drinks are skillfully prepared by the team here. I ordered my usual selection of whiskey based classic cocktails, but both the drink and food menu looked awesome, so I will have to try these next time. I also loved the very stylish room and loved how it was spaced well, so even on a more crowded evening, it would not be too crazy. Definitely adding H.O.D. to my list for bar crawls and nights out!

Was on my way to Fordham & Grand as recommended by a helpful Unilocaler, but it ended up being further away than House of Dandy on my Maps app thingy, so we decided to try House of Dandy.
Funny story — their exterior only has H.O.D on it, and to my later embarrassment we walked past it TWICE trying to find it. This included lots of staring at the map and going «House of Dandy should be RIGHT HERE, where IS it???» Ugggh. I blame the this lack of caffeine in my system yesterday for not being able to recognize the acronym.
it’s dark inside, but don’t be intimidated, it’s really clean and classy inside. The staff are perfect, they don’t hover and yet are somehow always 1 second away when you need them. I missed getting their names, which is terrible, but let’s be real, my brain wasn’t working very well yesterday.
My girlfriend really liked the cocktail she tried (Old Timer). Would probably be great if they had a bigger selection, but then again, what do I know! Quality over quantity and all that jazzzzz.
Music was awesome too, so were the chairs. Music and comfy chairs are important, okay. Definitely planning to go back ay-​sap. Loved the peace and calm inside that dark dark place. If I could I’d probably want to be an eccentric author living in one of their dark corners and writing about the human life forms that pass me by. Ah, fantasies.

Really nice cocktail bar. The best part is that most of the drinks come with some sort of snack. Sometimes it’ll be assorted nuts, sometimes a rice cake, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get a mini-​peach.
I was lame and got a white wine but it was quite good. However, it did not come with a snack. Minus one star.

This place is a joke. Extremely overpriced, a shitty happy hour– and no wifi (they make you check in on fb to get access). The staff are clueless. If this place ever existed in NYC it would be shut in a week.

This New York Style Roaring Twenties type bar oozes with sophistication and class. The paintings that line the bar wall are some of the visually stimulating art pieces I’ve ever seen. The dark lighting and general ambiance makes it a great place to hold conversations with your significant other or with friends. To top it off, the drinks drummed up by Mr. Zac Mirza are some of the best this island has to offer. He is great company as well, if you do get a chance to meet him. For the ladies out there, I’ve heard he is one good looking Singaporean guy. I’m just saying…
The only downside about this place is that there is NO food and is the only reason why I give this place four stars. I hope they rectify this soon.

Gatsby-​esque designed bar with cool dark interiors. The drinks are really innovative and if you are lucky to have a drink concocted by Mr. Zac Mizra then you are in for a treat! I would recommend coming here with a group of friends. Its the kind of place to socialize with your group for some drinks and good conversation. There is a classy-​cool atmosphere that allows one to fully be able to engage in a conversation without having to shout. A rarity in some places.

you better dig out your handsome boy modeling school textbooks and bring your A-​game ten-​thousandfold to step into this den of hedonism. the place oozes class from the walls and drips all over the one-​of-​a-​kind walnut parquet floors. this is the right kind of design-​porn you’ll need to distract from the fact that you are playing $ING prices for drinks. chalk it up to return on investment, your rep just got paid in spades.
we all look kinda swass
the crew you can’t forget
the mix-​a-​lot posse
cold rippin’ up the set
