Wildcard Bar didn't even pass my basic standards. 🤔

📍 Wildcard Bar, 238 East 53rd, 2nd Floor With such a high standard for speakeasy cocktails in New York, Wildcard really doesn't stand out. 🌃 🍵 Matcha Kappa: It looks nice, but that's about it. The matcha and alcohol just don't blend well, like they're doing their own thing. 🫐 Potted Ume: The highlight is the plum powder. It seems like they were trying to copy Angel's Share's signature drink. 🥂 Summer Fling: As a seasonal item, this one stands out in quality. 🍸 Yuki-tini: It's a bit lighter than a regular martini, with a somewhat forced fruity flavor. 🍹 Highball: This recipe is foolproof—simple and tasty. 🥃 Tokyo Sunset: The lychee flavor completely overpowers the alcohol. Girls who love sweet drinks should give it a try. 🧋 Purple Milky Way: Compared to a regular highball, this drink is much more impressive. It was the best of the night. 🍶 Yokohama Bamboo: This drink has a very Asian flavor, perfect for those who like herbal notes. Finally, I have to say something about the over-hyped atmosphere. The layout of the entire bar is awkward. Even with the dim lighting, the decor feels cheap. I just can't get into it. 😒 #NewYorkLife #NYCExploration #NYCEatDrinkPlay 🌇🌟
