El Camino — Restaurant in New York

Went here on a first date on a thursday night and it was great! super cozy, not super loud, the music volume is perfect (low enough that you can have good conversation but loud enough to be good background music), and the service was super friendly. Our server accidentally made a gin and tonic for someone and since he knew I was ordering gin and tonics all night he came over and gave it to me. That made my night fr. We didn't try any of the food but the drinks were good and the atmosphere is very fun...

I've lived the in the east village for 15 years and have been missing the true neighborhood bar-- the one that knows your name and learns your drink, is playing vibey music, and feels warm and inviting. El Camino nails it. Beautiful, small bar with a great, euro feel --weird art, open windows, incredible drinks, delicious small plates, and sweet service. I had a fantastic glass of white wine, perfectly-paired cheese plate with warm, crusty bread - Spanish olive oil and heard my favorite Rolling...

What a gem! No plans of drinking but as soon I passed this gem I instantly turned back and went inside. Big open front with decent size bar. I always love to sit at bar. The bartenders were absolute sweethearts. Started off with draught beer and ended up with martinis. And oh boy ! When I say martini then this place makes some mean Vesper Martini. The bartender fetched a homemade vodka from below the counter and after that I had to uber back home. I just love this place !...
