Rochelle Bar is a gem in the lower east side’s heart. It was named because of a mutual ex-girlfriend of the two owners. I ended up in this place after a very stressful day at my school. Went there by myself just for a quick drink. A random guy sat next to me and asked me if it was my first time there. I told him yes, then he said it was his first time too. He started talking to me about his love for whiskey, beer and how much he loved 80’s music. When I look at  the drink menu I told him, you are in the right place. This has an incredible list of whiskeys and beer, I looked at him, he laughed and then told me he was one of the owners. A very nice guy.  

This buzzy Lower East Side bar well known for its insane parties and incredible atmosphere, offers you an incredible Happy hour. With an insane beer selection, full of lagers, belgian style ale, and craft IPAS, plus 150 types of whiskeys. Besides that, the cocktail list is tight and focussed concentrating on potent drinks like the classic daddy’s issues or you could go just for a Miller Hi Life Split with the whiskey of the week, as well as an inexpensive menu of creative comfort food. From 28 different types of wings, yes you read right 28!, to delicious creamy and melty mac and cheese, and of course delicious burgers! 

This warm, cozy place has a classic New York vibe, funky mirrors and subway tiles, colorful lights. It’s a place you’d be happy to come not just on a Friday night, but also a Monday or perhaps every night, why not?
