Overview
Sip & Guzzle is a bi-level cocktail bar in the West Village that’s as much about theatre and craft as it is about flavor. The venue is the brainchild of globally renowned bartenders and delivers a two-sided concept — casual energy upstairs and serene precision below.
On the street level, Guzzle leans into New York nostalgia with a fast-paced, social bar environment. Here, bartenders serve playful twists on classics — think a mojito turned Pornstar, or an Apple Manhattan that brings together big flavor and drinkable ease. The vibe is lively and slightly irreverent, ideal for walk-ins, group drinks, or starting a night out.
Beneath Guzzle is Sip, an intimate and artful speakeasy channeling Japanese cocktail culture and precise technique. Guests are seated at the bar for a more personal experience, sipping delicate creations like rice-infused gimlets or cocktails served with whimsical garnishes and storytelling flair. It’s thoughtful and sophisticated without being stiff.
The menu in both spaces is complemented by upscale bar snacks — curated by a celebrated chef — that blend fine-dining execution with izakaya-style fun. Expect inventive small plates like spiced popcorn chicken or wagyu sliders with playful nods to Japanese comfort food.
Together, the two bars reflect a commitment to both craft and creativity, offering something for every type of drinker, from cocktail aficionados to casual revelers. It’s a bar that celebrates duality — elegant yet accessible, polished but fun.
