Nestled in Greenwich Village, Mace is a top‑ranked cocktail bar led by mixologists Nico de Soto and Greg Boehm, celebrated for inventive, spice‑driven drinks and a cozy yet refined atmosphere. From Aperol‑and‑aquavit blends to daring creations like the pisco‑and‑ants‑bitters “Ants,” each cocktail draws inspiration from a distinct spice or global tradition. The venue’s interior channels a spice‑market aesthetic: mason‑jar displays, warm lighting, and a polished concrete bar with intimate seating. It offers small, thoughtful bites—flatbreads, seafood snacks, and seasonal plates—that complement the bold cocktails. A perennial favorite, Mace was ranked No. 18 on North America’s 50 Best Bars 2023 and #1 in Time Out’s NYC list. It’s lively from afternoon through night, with a buzzed‑about terrace and frozen specials like the “Wasabi + Cilantro” for warm season nights. Ideal for date nights, spice lovers, and cocktail connoisseurs—Mace is an experiential hotspot that fuses bold flavors, mixology craft, and atmospheric charm in a compact, inviting setting.
