Sip & Guzzle

Sip & Guzzle, situated in the heart of Greenwich Village at 29 Cornelia St, is a masterful collaboration between acclaimed mixologists Shingo Gokan and Steve Schneider. This dual‑concept bar offers two contrasting yet complementary atmospheres under one roof: 🕺 Guzzle (upstairs): A spirited, saloon‑like setting evoking 1860s New York, with exposed brick, rich millwork, and vibrant art. Helmed by Steve Schneider (of Employees Only Singapore fame), Guzzle reinvents classic American cocktails—think Sherry Colada Highball, Apple Manhattan with bacon‑infused rye—and serves izakaya‑style comfort dishes like Electric Chicken (tableside trimmed with scissors), mochi fries, and even luxurious fare like foie‑gras Mont Blanc. 🤫 Sip (downstairs): Descend into a calm, dimly lit sanctuary inspired by 1860s Edo. Here, Shingo Gokan (of Angel’s Share/Tokyo’s SG Club) and Ben Yabrow craft Japan‑influenced cocktails such as Gimlet Over Rice, Whisky Nigiri, Doctor Green, and Drunken Grandma’s Apple Pie. The food—uni hand rolls, Volcano Roll with bluefin tuna, premium Wagyu sandwiches, and extravagant caviar and truffle‑topped dishes—mirrors the high‑concept drink menu. With split operating hours—Guzzle from ~4 pm and Sip from ~5 pm, closing around 1–2 am— Sip & Guzzle encourages reservations but also welcomes walk‑ins, especially after 10:30 pm via their late‑night menu. Voted #5 in North America’s 50 Best Bars 2025 and spotlighted in Food & Wine’s top‑10 U.S. bars, the venue has quickly become one of NYC’s cocktail landmarks .
