Where Verlaine appears on New York Dearest

It's on 2 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Cost$8 happy hour cocktails
  • Address110 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002
  • From my guide, updated February 2024.

Verlaine is a dimly lit, sophisticated little spot on the Lower East Side. Inspired by Asian-flavors, you can expect to find a full menu stocked with the likes of lo-mein and sake shrimp skewers. Verlaine is more of a restaurant than a bar but the drinks, chef’s kiss. The lychee martini is especially memorable and at $8 during happy hour, keep ’em coming! Plus, happy hour runs from 5-10PM so there’s no need to rush.

If you’re looking for one of the best bars in the Lower East Side to meet up with friends, Verlaine has you covered. They offer reservations for parties of 6 or more, so bring them all! Even that coworker you don’t really like.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
