THE COCKTAIL BAR

Our intimate cocktail bar is nestled under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Below you the river flows idly by. In the distance looms the Manhattan skyline. In the foreground, our skilled cocktail craftsmen buzz quietly about the bar.聽聽

At the nexus of skilled mixology and fine hospitality, the Cocktail Bar at the River Caf茅 is an experience unique to our city.聽

Under the guidance of our bar captain, Jake Satterfield, we offer timeless cocktails made with a state of the art attention to detail. Every ingredient is mindfully sourced and seasonally inspired, with a special eye for New York producers.聽

Classic Bar

With a world-class kitchen at our disposal, our bar team is constantly preparing a wide array of hand-made cordials, syrups, and elixirs under the watchful eye of our masterful executive chef and pastry team. This coordinated effort has established a satisfying continuity between our food and beverage programs, further deepening our guests鈥� experience at the caf茅.

As a bar truly in and of New York City, we are purveyors of an impressive list of local spirits. While you have a taste of the city鈥檚 finest distilleries and breweries, let the piano transport you to a dreamlike oasis drifting apart from the cacophony of the bustling city streets.

Sip on an elegant and harmonious gin martini with a lemon twist. Watch as a bartender jiggers every balanced drop of our house Manhattan to perfection. Try an antique daiquiri with a blend of vintage rums. Perhaps you鈥檒l enjoy a creamy Madeira flip for dessert. Maybe you鈥檇 rather try a neat glass of our hand-selected single barrel New York Rye, distilled and aged by NY Distilling Co. here in Brooklyn.聽

If you鈥檇 like to take a step back and forego an alcoholic drink, let one of our zero-proof cocktail selections guide you through your night without the buzz. Our house favorite is a honeyed lavender and grapefruit fizz.聽

Our bartenders love a good challenge, so feel free to collaborate with us to tailor a bespoke cocktail to your tastes and specifications.
