Ghost

Hosted my birthday party there, I had a great time with my friends, and the cocktail list is amazing!!! Thank you for the arrangement!

Not bad. Not bad! Come and try. I like the ambiance. U get 20% for first check in, cheers!!! Cool bartender

Here I thought Ghost was some new bar sharing a wall with Attaboy. I must have been far out of the loop because I learned they’ve been here for four years. Boy, I feel like a dum dum.
Ghost is a solid hang that has mass appeal. It’s spacious, has plenty of seating, and no one design element dominates another. Meaning, it’s simply a well done bar. It’s not too Edison bulb-​y, not too reclaimed wood-​y, not too pretentious… it’s just a good looking place to grab drinks with friends without much hassle. As a 33 year old seemingly approaching 63, this is exactly what I look forward to these days.
Speaking of drinks with friends, you should exercise the bells and whistles of your Unilocal app and use their awesome check in offer for free glass of wine. I’m no economist, but it’s a terrific deal.

Cozy little cocktail bar. Went here to grab a pre-​dinner drink. The bartender was really nice and told me that in addition to the drinks on their regular cocktail menu, there were a few he was experimenting with that I could try if I liked. I decided against it however, as the menu itself looked really good. The name of the cocktail escapes me, but it was refreshing and delicious. The drinks are not cheap, but they are comparable with Manhattan prices. The place only had a few people when we were there, which sometimes can be uncomfortable, but in this case it was really nice because we could have an actual conversation.

This is my go-​to spot to meet first dates lol. Michael the wonderful, jolly bartender with the mustache is my favorite wingman, always helping make things less awkward. I always enjoy the cocktails (usually get the bourbon one) and love hearing about the haunted buildings.

So, like many people I’m sure, we stumbled in here while we were waiting to go to Attaboy next door. It was a cute place, their cocktails were great, staff was really friendly. It was easy to chat in there, comfortable vibe. Drinks all had a nice, fresh ingredient to them and they gave us bowls of nice, dark pretzels.

I found this place on Unilocal,and I wanted to come check it out. If you check in, you get a 50% discount on your first cocktail. The options seemed pretty fancy. My friend and I both got the Orchard Street, because it seem like the safest one. I thought it was really good.
The ambience is very relaxed and calm. Bathroom is super clean. Seating ranges from window seats for more intimacy, lounge area for bigger parties, and the bar area. One thing I really hate about bars is when I can’t hear anyone I’m talking to. Even though we went pretty early (around 7:30 PM) the place had enough people to be considered lively, but not so many people that I couldn’t hear the conversation I was having.
The bartender is super nice, and wished me a happy birthday upon checking my ID even though my birthday was the day before. He even said it again as I was leaving.
The cocktails are definitely out of my college student budget, which is why we only stayed for one. But I would definitely recommend you come check it out. I would definitely want to come here with a bigger group next time.

Chill place! Stopped in after dinner for drinks with my girlfriends before we continued on to dancing. We liked it because we could actually get a seat, hear our own conversation and there was good beer selection.
Really liked the art and the music.

One of my new favorite bars! Super friendly owners, great bartendering (Tom), great art and beers! Great for a date as well, not crazy like the other over crowded LES bars.

Art and cocktails, what an amazing combo and gem in LES. Fantastic bartender. The Orchard street drink made my night. Will definitely go back soon.

3.5 stars (appearing as 4 because I had such a tasty cocktail for cheap). I wanted to like this place a lot more, but some things are just not meant to be I suppose.
Came here on a Friday night shortly before 10 pm with a friend. The place was located on a dead street and we were at first afraid that it wasn’t open because there were so few people inside. Inside, the space is long but narrow (so overall small) and the vibe is slow/​chill. Some more people came in after a bit, but overall the atmosphere was not extremely lively, which was disappointing considering how it was a Friday night.
I ordered the 5 Points, a gin-​based cocktail with a curious combination of ingredients including raspberry purée and egg whites. It was actually delicious: the grassy sting of the gin was perfectly tempered by the citrusy mix and the result was definitely my favorite kind of fruity, tart cocktail. As an extra bonus, I was able to use the Unilocal 50% deal off a full-​priced cocktail, so the drink was only $ 6.50-a huge steal!
Besides the lack of a fun atmosphere, the other area this place lost points was the service. While the bartender was nice, he was extremely slow and inefficient at serving all of the waiting customers. He also took orders in seemingly random orders (aka serving people who came later first). It was understandable to a certain extent though and to his credit, the bartender was very earnest in his work and made each cocktail with care.
I think I would come back once in a while, but I’m not sure this is really my go-​to spot considering how many other cool places there are in the LES. Great cocktail at a very reasonable price though!

Comfortable bar with an open front to the street which keeps it airy and interesting. Mixologists always have a recommendation for something new. The bar is small, seats about 10 and there are tables and couches that seat another 10 or 12. This is a great date place with chilled out music and an atmosphere that allows people to talk.

Small, modern, and friendly neighborhood bar. There is lots of love and attention to detail on all the drinks. The bartender was very talented, funny, and takes pride in his creative drink menu. He makes a lot of the infused drinks personally, one example of this is him preparing a simple syrup by letting orange peels soak in brown sugar for a week. This place becomes very lively on weekends and the bartender moves swiftly making sure everyone is being attended to. My girlfriend and I enjoyed some of the listed cocktails and they were delicious!
Prices are usual for the area at 12 – 14 $ for cocktails and $ 7 – 8 for beers (non on tap just bottle and cans but they have a good list of local favorites)

Love it. The place is very hip and stylist. Bartenders are great. Cyrus and Steve were awesome. I told him what I like to drink and he made me something yummy. Cheers to this place. As a visitor I 100% recommend this bar. So great!!!

Ghost is a pretty nice, cozy, intimate space with a very casual vibe and is rarely ever crowded, which I love about it. There are a lot of modern art pieces hanging on the walls, but it’s very well curated like other gallery bars, and definitely more buttoned up than most dive bars. The cocktails are great and I’m slightly confused why there aren’t more people here usually, but I’m definitely not complaining. For now, I’ll enjoy it as a hidden gem.
The bartenders are always very friendly and attentive and always check to make sure you have enough drinks, water, or pretzels. They have a few craft beers here and there, but I would primarily come here for the cocktails, which are about $ 14 apiece. Pretty typical Manhattan prices. People often come to this part of LES with the intention of going to Attaboy, or another «hot» cocktail bar, but Ghost is definitely one of the better alternatives in the area.
This place is really good for a date night or a casual night out. You can have very intimate chat among a small group or companion without feeling cramped or crowded. In Manhattan, that usually comes at a premium, and Ghost does a good job of providing that great ambiance without the pretentiousness. I’ll definitely be back.

I have been to Ghost twice now, and enjoyed myself both times. A small, rather intimate spot with a handful of seats at the bar and a few tables toward the rear, Ghost manages to be an intimate space without feeling romantic. The space, though limited, displays rotating artwork, something that not all bars do, so enjoy whatever you see when you go as the next visit it will likely be a new exhibit. Swing by here if you are in the neighborhood for an inventive cocktail or one of their tasty bottled beers.

GHOST is more than just an overflow area for Attaboy (formerly Milk & Honey) next door.
The drinks, primarily «craft beer, custom cocktails and fine wine» are better than expected, by most people’s estimates. Bo and company keep the place fairly mellow, with the music at a comfortable, low level, and the crowds fairly well-​behaved for the LES.
As the owner/​s claim, «GHOST is the place where souls meet». I will be sure to return, dead or alive!

Came here to grab a drink with a few friends on a Thursday night. This place is super cosy and is a good intimate spot to hang out with your friends. I can see it getting crowded pretty fast, but on a quiet night, I would definitely visit again. The bartender was pleasant and the lounge is nicely decorated, very artsy.
Good ambiance and clean bathroom!

I appreciate a bartender who can listen to what mood I’m in and make a drink befitting it. I was tired, but enjoying visiting with a group of friends… so I got a coffee, Kahlua martini-​type drink (don’t even really know what was in it), but it was tasty and woke me right up (in a good way). There’s very neat art on the walls and intimate seating areas.

Great neighborhood spot in LES with a fun vibe. Friendly staff that creates amazing esoteric and bespoke cocktails amidst edgy art décor. The art rotates frequently and features some well regarded NYC artists and modern masters like Warhol et al. The Oleo Old Fashioned with smoked salt is outstanding. The hibiscus syrup with jalapeño infused tequila is good too. I have also had a beet and balsamic whiskey sour that was ridiculously tasty. But the place closes at 1, wish they were open later on the weekends.
