I love love loved our cocktails at this place. I will say that the check was shocking...but that may have been more a "me" problem than an Ampersand problem.

Great service and cocktail selection. Perfect spot for a drink after dinner, as the bar menu is small. Small tables at the front with bigger group accomodations near the back of the bar.

The craft cocktails are fantastic some even including house made ingredients. The atmosphere was also great with cozy seating at small tables or around the bar. The chips and guacamole was also delicious. I highly recommend this for a cute date spot or catching up with friends.

Ampersand is a nice cocktail bar with some creative cocktails and excellent food. The bar has friendly bartenders, the ambience is intimate but not so much that you'd feel it's a date place only. It definitely isn't.

This cocktail bar is easy to walk by in the midst of 23rd Street's busy intersection with 3rd Avenue. The whiskey/bourbon collection is impressive and the small space is cozy, yet not cramped.

Went for brunch-- I had the corned beef hash, and it was amazing! They used chunks of actual meat and it was super tender. I tried a bit of the Avocado toast from a friend, and that was just as good. Definitely have to go back and try the other dishes.
