Award-winning cocktail bar w/ unique small plates & a legendary burger that sells out daily. Cozy 'Sip' & lively 'Guzzle' vibes.
This West Village cocktail bar, born from the minds behind Tokyo's SG Club, offers a dual experience with its cozy 'Sip' and lively 'Guzzle' sections. It's been recognized as a top new bar, praised for its inventive cocktails and unique small plates. From highly addictive Mochi Fries to a critically acclaimed Tavern Burger that sells out almost instantly, Sip & Guzzle delivers a memorable and often sought-after dining adventure.
Sip & Guzzle is renowned for its creative American bar food and inventive cocktails. Standout items include the addictive Mochi Fries, the highly sought-after Tavern Burger (made with A5 Wagyu and extremely limited), and the Electric Chicken with Szechuan spice. Their soft serve, particularly the grilled strawberry variation, also receives high marks. While most dishes are celebrated, securing the limited burger can be a challenge.
"The Tavern Burger, made with A5 Wagyu, is frequently mentioned as a must-try, though incredibly hard to obtain. Other highly recommended items include the Mochi Fries, Electric Chicken, Volcano Rolls, and the seasonal soft serve."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the inventive cocktails and unique food offerings, with many highlighting specific dishes as must-tries. However, the extreme popularity, especially for the limited Tavern Burger, can lead to disappointment and a need for significant advance planning or reservations.
Important Note
The highly coveted Tavern Burger is extremely limited (only 12 made nightly) and typically sells out very shortly after opening, often by 4:01 PM. Securing a reservation is highly recommended, and even then, a specific early reservation time (4:00 PM) might be necessary for the burger.
