Cibar

Had a Vanilla & Coconut Mariette Mojito that was PHENOMENAL. Great vibe and outdoor space– perfect date spot. Definitely coming back!

Music playing a fun bar to sit at or outside garden to sit at oh wait there is more creative décor inside like a fireplace with lip chairs and fun drinks. I mean legit date spot or just fun place to chill and get drinks. They have happy hours too.
Highly recommend

Wonderful lounge with fabulously dimly lit cozy romantic ambiance inside and a quaint little outside garden patio great for meeting friends.
My friend and I had both been here before at night — but was our first time sitting outside and it was a perfect spot for conversation starting our girls night.
Outside patio has rustic lamps and lanterns, flowers, sweet floral tables. Very cozy. Seemed many of the women had the same idea to meet at an outside garden spot with friends as it was mostly pairs and groups of women, along w a few couples on dates.
We had a Mezcel drink — which they modified from their drink specialty menu based on my request for less citrus more fruity preference — the added spicy honey gave it a perfect kick.
The small plates menu selection while the truffle popcorn smelled and looked amazing — could be more expansive … We opted to have a drink then go elsewhere for food as we were hungry and the menu was limited.
Highly recommend for drinks and amazing ambiance both inside and the charming outside patio– both great for meeting friends or a date.

Possibly the only thing I like about NYC so far. Came here for a shoot earlier in the day – the interior is beautiful and unique. Mirrored mosaic walls, comfy seating and they served us coffee in dainty tea cups with saucers. It’s a quiet respite from the busy streets outside.
Came back at night and tried a Smokehouse cocktail – SO GOOD. And still an oasis of chill compared to any other place I’d been on my working trip.

Five Stars Given for TUI one of the bars best Bartenders! Cool person. (Sorry don’t know the new bartenders) He makes Great Drinks!
PLEASE BRING BACK THE LYCHEE MARTINIS!

Cool place. Small, cozy. I’m guessing a local kind of place. Cool snazzy feel.

I cant say anything about the food but i like the cocktails and the vibe.

I knew I would like this place when I saw outside the doors they had a complimentary doggy water bowl attached to their menu sign. Both adorable and really convenient. Though, I saw no dogs at the open bar event I went to a few months back in October. The space is chic and has both ample space, a nice lounge area, a disco ball-​esque chandelier, and a back patio for warmer months. They had the twinkly lights going on. Cute little tables with a very funky décor. A chair in the shape of dark red lips, many clustered different tiny tables and petite chairs. It’s whimsical and girly if anything in decoration. I imagine this would be a great place for a girly gathering or if you are caving into impressing your chic for the night on a date.
At this particular event we were happily welcome to try any of their happy hour cocktails and wine on the house. The cocktails were honestly really really delicious. My favorites in particular were: The Hierarchy of Gifts: Prosecco, Lemon Oleo Saccharum, and Peychard’s Bitters as well as some kind of special cucumber spicy margarita the bartender made that night off menu. Their old fashioned was good but a bit too strong. It will grow some hair on your chest. And the Ok Cupid’s (something I can never wrap my head around and believe in) Cosmo was delicious but girl drink drunk in a cup. The bartender used quality ingredients and mixed all the drinks with excellent precision. Never got flustered with the amount of people and was quite sociable and friendly.
A few sampler appetizers floated around. I mostly ate a lot of cheese and bits of brioche but they make seriously one of the best cheeseburger sliders I have ever had in my life. RANDOM. I remember this more than anything else at the event and how juicy and decadent they were. Salivating right now thinking about them. They also served a variety of squash flatbreads and mini wiener dog things. Pretty great place. A bit pricey but its nice for one of those special nights out. Cocktails are marked down from $ 14 to $ 9 during happy hour until 8pm. They also have a cocktail on their normal menu called the Ron Draper that I am incredibly tempted to come back and acquaintance myself with.

I love the Décor of the place. Dark walls that become illuminated with glittering rose gold that give the ambiance a sultry morrocan vibe. I’ve never eaten here I just come over for martinis and neurons cocktail. The service does what they have to do and that’s why they don’t get the additional two stars. It seems the bartenders work separate. If I ordered a drink from one bartender and ask for the second one to make it for me, it wouldn’t happen. I feel is they worked together customer service portion of this place would improve. The the décor is my favorite part of this place.

We stopped by when we found out the speakeasy we wanted to go to had a 45 minute wait. The atmosphere was interesting — it had a more trendy, lounge-​y feel, but on the smaller side. The music was good, although there was only a handful of people. It was a good place for us the end our night, especially because it was the only place that made my old-​fashioned well!

Came here awhile back for a sponsored happy hour event. I really love the feel inside — beautiful interior that does a good job of being both funky and classy.
Lots of worldly details that look like things brought together after a whirlwind of travels — I realize Cibar probably just worked with a good interior designer, but they did a great job of capturing that feeling of wanderlust and originality.
I got to try several cocktails and food items here. I notably asked for an Old Fashioned (my favorite classic cocktail) and it wasn’t bad — but it was very strong and missing the complex flavors I appreciate in an Old Fashioned.
They had a fantastic cheese and meats selection and I kid you not, Cibar has some of the BEST beef mini-​sliders I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked medium-​rare and wonderfully seasoned.
I would totally recommend this place for a girls night out or date.

I’ve been to Cibar quite a few times. They recently renovated. The cocktails have all been good, although I wish they’d bring back the chocolate martinis — those were the best! The music selection is always good. Atmosphere is great.
Great place to meet up for cocktails. They also have an outdoor patio open in the warmer months.

Great find for the area! Right in the middle of Gramercy is a great little trendy bar.
This place has a really interesting décor, with plushy couches/​low tables and a big bar area… good for a big group or ~hot date~.
The specialty drinks are pretty good, and on par with NYC ($ 10 — $ 15/​drink), and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend as a fun/​chill place to «go grab drinks».

Super cute lounge with great tunes! Awesome for intimate group outings or even for a date as there is plenty of seating available and even standing room if you prefer. It is a little dark in there which can be a good thing I guess. This spot is for you if want a night out where you can hold conversations rather than dodge spilled drinks or screaming people.
I went on a Saturday night around 11 and although it was lively, definitely not packed to the point where you couldn’t move. Which is super important to me at this old age of mine ;)

Absolutely adore this bar! My friend and I randomly went to this place. The bouncer recommended us to order «swipe right» cocktail and said we would not regret it. He was totally right! We loved the cocktail. It was light in taste and refreshing while we slowly get tipsy.
There is a small courtyard outback — it is pretty neat! It’s rare to find such a scene in NY. Our new spot!

This place is really a hidden gem in Gramercy. We decided to try it because of the access to a backyard patio, which didn’t disappoint. We got there about 6pm on a weeknight and there were only about two people in the place. It’s dark inside with exotic décor and the small outdoor patio was cozy and cute. The Happy Hour specials aren’t bad with a glass of wine at about $ 7 and other cocktail specials, which lasted until 8pm. Win!
We ordered some shishito peppers which were very well grilled and the serving size was quite large. We also had a nice cheese plate that was decent in size and selection. This is a good spot for catching up with some friends for a decent drink and a few small bites either before or after dinner. The place was packed by the time we left around 10pm. Go enjoy the patio while it’s still warm!

I went to an event where you find roomates
and Upon check in I was told you get a free drink. I met a very rude bartender who when I first approached him told me «I have three people ahead of you can you wait»
i waited, chat with friends then when I approached him he rudly said «you are getting a free drink you might as wait its not like you are paying for it» I felt very disgusted by the unprofessional attitude he had. He made you feel like you are not worth his attention just cause a drink is free.

This place complete surprised me. I was expecting a tiny, intimate cocktail bar — speakeasy-​esque, maybe. While there is a small back room here, the main part of the bar is actually quite spacious. While the drinks weren’t mind-​blowing, I loved the vibe here.
The Gramercy area doesn’t exactly scream nightlife. So this was certainly a find. Two things I love: dancing and swanky venues. The issue with these criteria is that they often are most found in clubs. I. Loathe. Clubs. Everything about them. So while Cibar wasn’t a club atmosphere, it had all of the features I long for — and never seem to find. Cibar is intimate (dark, comfy seating) yet crazy energetic. I wasn’t here to dance on this particular occasion, but there was a mini dance party going on in the front of the bar while I was sitting closer to the back. We were there around 10/10:30, so it’s quite possible that it gets rowdier here as the night goes on. But in this particular instance, the crazy was contained.
If I’m remembering correctly, I ordered the Bare Back, which was so-​so (my uncertainty was not due to intoxication — it was just a forgettable drink). It was a whiskey kind of night for me, but in retrospect I should’ve went with one of their gin cocktails. I have an inkling that they’re better, just looking at the menu. And I’m not saying this cocktail was bad, but for the price… mehhh.

This is a cool little place tucked away in the Flatiron/​Gramercy area that you would probably never notice. Looking like a brownstone, it’s a bar/​lounge that is especially a good place to come in the warmer months.
The inside is decked out in contemporary fashion and there is also a front deck and back patio. The back patio is especially nice as there are a handful of small tables and its shielded from the traffic and noise that comes with the front deck. The front deck is nice as well, but the back is definitely better. The place has an overall lounge vibe and it turns up a few notches after about 7pm.
The drinks are just ok in my opinion. I had «the bareback» drink which was interesting but not memorable. I also tried a few others that were just ok. If the cocktails were a little better, this place would def get a higher rating from me.
Overall it’s a pretty cool place from an outside seating standpoint. Thus in the winter months I prob wouldn’t venture here just for drinks or inside atmosphere. I’d pass by again if I’m in the area and want a glass of wine or something, but otherwise, I’d go elsewhere for better drinks.

Absolutely love this place! The first time I came here was because my girl friend and had to wait for a table at Dear Irving across the street, we came here for a quick drink but ended up staying here the whole night. Then I came back again on a Thursday night without knowing it was Bingo night. It was good fun!
Cibar is very cozy and intimate, I love it because you can actually sit with your friend side by side instead of across the table. I love both the couch /​sofa and bar counter area. Drink-​wise they make delicious and strong drink, got to pace yourself! As far as bar food goes, they serve very good food, but it’s not restaurant, so don’t come here hungry.
Cibar is surely one of my favourite in the Union Square area!
