joethefoodie Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Pouring Ribbons, a new bar from the Alchemy Consulting group, has quietly opened at 225 Avenue B, on the second floor. No taxidermy, just a handsome, large-ish space (which would really be perfect for a small office holiday party as the space is dividable). Our 4 (or was it 5?) drinks were expertly made, and the staff was warm and friendly. According to one of the principals, they don't want to have to turn down people as they do at some of the other cocktail places when they fill up - they wanted plenty of room. I think it holds close to 100. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 YES! I am SO excited!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 As long as the size doesn't make the wait for drinks impossible. You need a lot of mixologists to make custom drinks for 100 people. But I look forward to trying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Jaquin Simo is one of the nicest people I have ever met. .Not to mention the best and hardest working bartender in the business.. He recently won best American Bartender at Tales of the Cocktails.. He has been working at Death and Co since the place opened.. I could not be happier for him.

I doubt the wait for drinks will be impossible. They are well staffed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 A couple of really nice drinks at PR last night. In particular, my "In Spades" rocked, but it is a potent boy. Weller 107, Aveze, Salers, and Galliano L'Autentico go very nicely together, And it's always a pleasure having Joaquin stirring my drinks (although he shook my first one, 'cause it had a bit of lemon juice in it).

Wilfrid Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I forgot to mention I tried this place a couple of weeks ago. I remember its former incarnation as a somewhat concealed club/lounge (how long ago?), and it is indeed a large space. I had something nice which was like a Manhattan with very herbal things in it. Don't remember the name. Conversation on the door: "Do you have a reservation?" "No. Do I need one?' "No, come in." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thought this was going to be a PBR thread. What'll you have.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Doubtless this a further sign of my senescence, but the problem I have with every place having its own signature cocktail list is that I can't remember the names of the drinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes, indeed. It was an In Spades. I remember now wanting to order the Bonita Applebum, just for the name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 A lot of those "mixologists" will tell you it's as hard to come up with the name as it is the drink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stone Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Is this a good place to bring out of towners for cocktails on a saturday night? Will there be a long wait? Do they take reservations? any good alternatives? I don't think we're going to go to Brooklyn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 They must take reservations because they always ask me if I have one (and I never do). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nitecap is very cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
