Wildcard Bar — Restaurant in New York

The cocktails I ordered (Mr. Oolong and Matcha Kappa) are tasteless. Also, they both are offered in a SMALL cup that is definitely much smaller than what you’d expect from a sour or on the rock drink.

Matcha kappa suppose to be a sour, but the foam is extremely thin and there’s no creamy texture that a sour suppose to have. Also the balance of sweet and sour from citrus is not here at all. The matcha component is also barely noticeable. The creator of this drink should go taste some classical sour first before doing a twist.

Also, none of our drinks were noticeably strong. Cool idea, great staff, nice interior, but a poor...

Great ambience and interesting cocktail menu. I had the plum cocktail which tastes very refreshing and light. It's a good option if you don't want an overly sweet drink. The presentation is phenomenonal. The cocktail also comes with a free small plate of Japanese rice cracker snacks. I like the fact that my barista is a charming lady and I think she did a great job with my cocktail. I also like that the music is chill and not too loud, great for conversation and you don't have to yell. They also have a back room with vintage style couches and desks. Overall it's a great hidden gem to grab a drink with friends and chat, go on a date, or even just do a solo drink after a long day. However the cocktail is on the...
