Sip & Guzzle

West Village, New York, NY 📍 Maps

Sip & Guzzle is a bi-level concept born from a collaboration between international bartending icons Shingo Gokan and Steve Schneider, imagining a bar the 77 samurai who visited New York in 1860 might have opened upon returning to Tokyo. The downstairs 'Sip' offers a sleek, intimate Japanese cocktail bar experience, while the upstairs 'Guzzle' is a livelier New York-style pub with classic cocktails and bar fare. Regulars often move between the two floors, starting with refined drinks at Sip before heading upstairs for a more boisterous atmosphere at Guzzle.

★ The Legend
Tavern Burger
This isn't just any burger; it's made with A5 Wagyu beef, served on a potato bun with Binchotan aioli, a homemade Parmesan cheese slice, and a cured cabbage slaw. It was named the best burger in North America and 13th in the world by The World's 25 Best, praised for its balance and craftsmanship.
◆ Fan Favorite
Electric Chicken
This spicy fried chicken is a popular order at Guzzle, often served with latex gloves and scissors for a fun, interactive experience. It's known for its tingly spiciness and is a perfect accompaniment to the cocktails.
● Chef's Pick
Tomato Tree
Head Bartender Ben Yabrow, who oversees the Sip downstairs bar, highlights the Tomato Tree as their most popular drink since day one and a great showcase of what they do at Sip. He explains the conceptual approach, where each ingredient represents a different part of a tree, and notes the extensive R&D and preparation time involved, with some drinks taking up to three days to make.
◇ Hidden Gem
Bikini
Chef Mike Bagale, formerly of the three-Michelin-starred Alinea and the culinary lead at Sip & Guzzle, created the Bikini, describing it as 'the world's thinnest sandwich' with comté ganache and 5J Jamón. This dish is highlighted as a minimalist masterpiece and a delicious, must-try item on the Guzzle menu.
Insider Tip

First-timers often try to reserve a table at Sip, the downstairs bar, but reservations there are extremely limited and primarily for walk-ins. Instead, make a reservation for Guzzle upstairs on Resy, which is easier to secure, and then try your luck walking into Sip for a more intimate experience. This way, you guarantee a spot and can still explore both unique atmospheres.
