Best Martini
Award Winner 2011

8 Stuyvesant St. New York NY 10003

Hours: Daily 7pm-2:30am

Description

Secret bar alert! Angel's Share is located behind an unmarked door in the Village's Yokocho Japanese restaurant. Inside, amid floral wallpaper and muted green drapes, an encompassing mural hangs above the bar depicting a demonic Asian baby. It's an instant conversation piece, as are each of the cocktails: Try the Green Haze, composed of gyokuro-infused gin, fresh kiwi fruit, and honey, among other garnishes. Drinks are enjoyed among an incongruous crowd of well-read tourists, locals, and date-night couples; meanwhile, the bartenders wear rakish, butler-inspired matching outfits and look like swift ninja assassins when they prepare your beverage. Go for the bacon-infused bourbon martini if you're feeling wild.

2011 | Best Martini

There's really only one place to go for a martini in this burg, and that's Angel's Share. The shallow space sits right at the corner where Stuyvesant Street breaks off from West Ninth, which is the defacto crossroads of the East Village. So, as you sit in the upstairs window surveying the scene and getting plowed on martinis, you're sure to see friends--even if you're from Dalmatia or Dubai--wandering past down below. The panache with which the bartenders shake the martinis is an added ... More »
2004 | Best place to watch snow fall

Scratch a cynic, they say, and a romantic bleeds. Stanch this cruel and senseless exsanguination in yourself (or a deserving loved one) by camping out behind those tastefully draped, multi-paned windows at petite ANGEL'S SHARE bar during the next blizzard. Secreted behind an unmarked door inside a second-floor Japanese restaurant, you can sip a sublime manhattan while watching hapless pedestrians along Third Avenue execute perfect silent-movie pratfalls amid the swirling beauty of a virgin...

Cozy, great live music, and superb cocktails-- all of the things a speakeasy should have without an obnoxious door policy. If they have room, they'll seat you.

Tucked away in the back of a divey asian mish-mash bistro, like something out of a David Lynch movie is a very sleek, elegant tiny little bar. Notice the angel with horns looking down on you from the bar waiting for the spirits to rise... hence the "Angels Share". There's no standing and don't try walking in with more than four people. They make classic cocktails in the classic way and do it very well. Great pre-outing spot.
