Coupe

Cocktail Bar & Small Plates · East Village, New York

$$$January 11, 2026East Village

Coupe opens at 6pm and hits its stride around midnight. The cocktails are the point, but the food is good enough that you'll stay for both.

Narrow, candlelit, pressed-tin ceiling. Coupe hits its stride around midnight and holds it.

The cocktail program is the main event — the barrel-aged Negroni and the Coupe Sour are both worth ordering twice.

The food keeps pace. Burrata with charred stone fruit. Lamb flatbread with harissa. Neither feels like an afterthought.

Whiskey sour with egg white foam
The Coupe Sour — the drink that'll make you a regular.
