Double Chicken Please

I visited this place on a friends recommendation for a weekend evening. My friend mentioned theres usually a line, but luckily, there wasnt one that day, so we got in quickly.The vintage vibe and long interior were appealing. We each ordered a Key Lime Pie Cocktail. Although we didnt order food since we were just there for drinks before dinner, the popcorn chicken at every table smelled amazing—I regret not trying it!When the cocktails arrived, the taste was spot-on, just like eating a slice of key lime pie. It was fascinating to enjoy such a dessert-like flavor with alcohol. Usually, when cocktails taste good, they arent strong, but this one was both flavorful and potent. We ended up sharing another because it was too strong for two rounds each.Even though I dont typically revisit places, I would come back just for this cocktail, even if theres a wait! :)

We loved it!Drinks were very delicious and extra innovative! We tried Japanese Cold Noodles, NYC Beet Salad, Mango Sticky Rice, France Toast and they were all great!!‘Hot honey’ Chicken sandwich had very unique Thai Basil sauce we enjoyed.We got to the line just a bit after 4pm and already had about 6-7 people waiting in the queue.We enjoyed everything so it was well worth the wait for us.Highly recommended for craft cocktail lovers.Looking forward to our next visit to try other items on the menu.

Great place to grab unique cocktails and some small bites! Reservations are recommended since it is needed to dine in the back. Otherwise walk-ins will be seated up front by the bar. The bartenders are really helpful and will recommend something based on your taste. The small bites are also really unique with a mix of different flavors.

LES has always been known for its urban art and it just added a new masterpiece to its collection. Stepping foot inside you are met with a two tone style approach. Front bar is a classic LES style cocktail bar. The back is where the real action is. The style of the bar is an architecture dream and presentation is a mix of Michelin star and relaxed lounge. An ensemble of bartenders create some of the most interesting and delicious off the norm style cocktails. All the staff is amazing in personality and performance. The cocktails are styled like food and are a welcome twist to the craft. The food while simple in description is worthy of the best regards. The experience is so artfully crafted I could only tell you to just experience it.

My favorite place to get drink in NYC. The place is quite crowded and difficult to make reservation but you can standby to get in. Line is less crowded during weekdays. New menu in Free Range is based on cartoon characters. Menu in the back room is decomposed food. You cannot cross order from either side. They make sure you have to visit twice. Both are very creative and delicious. My favorite is Key-lime Pie.

I finally understand the well-deserved hype after my first visit! Drinks are incredibly crafted and the vibes are immaculate!5/5 Key Lime Pie - a MUST try! First you are hit with the bright lime flavor that ends in a graham cracker crust, not spirit forward at all and exactly reminiscent of key lime pie5/5 Popcorn Chicken -- so crispy, so tender, perfectly seasoned without being overly salty5/5 Koji Cucumbers -- super crisp, with an addicting thai chili kick

The best chicken sandwich I have ever had. I can’t wait to come back for the sandwich! Drinks were very good too. After eating the sandwich I ordered a cocktail with Gin and Green Tea and it just hit the spot.Walk in. Waited in line for about 30-40 minutes, and it was worth it (front room only).

A mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, the grilled cheese chicken sandwich was phenomenal—crispy, flavorful, and just downright delicious. The cocktails also lived up to the hype. Across our table we ordered 6 different ones and they were each outstanding and innovative and balanced.However, not everything was good. The salt egg yolk chicken sandwich missed the mark—ot tasted like the oceans and not in a good way. No one at our table had more than one bite. The service also left a sour taste. The staff was quite rude, even trying to give away our table when one person in our party was just nine minutes late. To top it off, they wanted to charge me a dollar to add an extra olive to my martini, which felt a bit petty.

My top bar in NYC!!! This is my second time here.The popcorn chicken is really nice 👍 We’ve tried key lime pie, cold pizza, custard bun and mango sticky rice.Among those, I think key lime pie is the most fresh one, and the custard bun is really cool and worth a try!

Double Chicken Please is a fantastic spot with excellent cocktails and food. There was a long line and waitlist; even on a Tuesday at 5:00 PM, we had to wait for 2 hours. However, it was well worth it. We first sat at the front bar, which only serves beer on tap and some food. We tried the hot chicken sandwich, which was crispy, delicious, and full of flavor. Then we moved to the inside bar with a speakeasy vibe. The atmosphere was cool with low lighting, and the drinks were amazing and perfectly balanced. If you don’t want dessert, try the key lime cocktail—it tastes like dessert but isn’t too sweet.

Out on a weeknight night?? If we got reservations to the 2nd top bar, YES, WHY NOT.Started with a NY Beet Salad and the Custard Bun. The Beet salad was not only colorful, but flavorful! It tasted like a garden. In a good way!! Hence, the drink is in the appetizers. Haha the Custard drink, I found too custard-y 😄Second, the POPCORN CHICKEN. The best. Imagine. McDonald’s 20pc nuggets is $10, the DCP popcorn chicken is around $12 (plus tax)… more flavor, real chicken, good vibes. Value at its best! 🐓 Another, please 🤤Got the DCP House Shot for my second and last drink. On the strong side, but enjoyed it sip by sip. I had the popcorn chicken as chaser after every sip. My fiance had the French Toast, his favorite. The “cookie” garnish was so cute and yummyyy. It’s like an espresso martini but mocha flavored 😄 a sweet treat, indeed!!Would come back for the food and try the other drinksss!Tim was awesome, ensuring we and all other guests would be attended to. Great service!!Enjoy your time at DCP 🐓

The Mochi donut was mediocre, don’t know why it was so hard and stale for mochi. The drinks although very innovative are average definitely not worth the 4 hr wait. Overall pretty disappointing, I would say if convenient it’s worth a try but if the wait is any longer than 30min just go elsewhere. The service was average too, you wait 4 hrs just to get walked to a tiny table that seats 3 at best and we were a party of 4.

Very cool bar with the most unique cocktails we’ve saw!! the key lime pie was so tasty!the honey chicken sandwich was also so good, and the popcorn chicken as well!some if the cocktails were unique and nice to try but we didn’t like them so muchthe line is very line tho, we arrived 15 minutes before it opened and got a table 2 hours later

No brainer but this is my favorite bar in NYC! The drinks are always so innovative and the experience is so fun. It can be hard to get back room reservations but I’ve had luck either walking in early in the evening ~7pm and at the end of the night ~1am. I’ve also had the front room before which provides drinks on tap that are also really good!My favorite drink is the Japanese cold noodle but would recommend trying as many drinks as you can from their menu. I’ve also had their hot honey chicken sandwich and their mochi donut chicken sandwich which I think are mid compared to their drinks.

Double Chicken stands as a testament to the art of cocktail crafting and culinary innovation, proudly earning its place among the top 50 bars in the world. My recent visit was nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing a delightful fusion of innovative ideas, exquisite cocktails, and exceptional service that left a lasting impression.From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere buzzed with energy, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. While reservations can be challenging to secure, I highly recommend walking in and adding yourself to the waitlist; the experience is undeniably worth the effort. The attentive staff quickly ensured we were comfortable, creating an inviting environment that felt both relaxed and upscale.The cocktail menu is a highlight in itself, featuring an array of inventive concoctions that push the boundaries of flavor. Each drink I sampled was a work of art, expertly balanced and beautifully presented. It’s clear that the mixologists here are not just bartenders but passionate creators dedicated to providing a memorable drinking experience.Complementing the cocktails, the food offerings were equally impressive. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing fresh ingredients and bold flavors that harmonized beautifully with our drinks. The innovative approach to traditional dishes not only delighted the palate but also provided a delightful surprise at every turn.Service throughout the evening was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable about both the cocktails and the food, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Their enthusiasm for the menu was infectious, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers.In summary, Double Chicken is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an extraordinary bar experience. The combination of exceptional cocktails, innovative cuisine, and attentive service creates an atmosphere that is truly special. While securing a reservation can be tricky, the rewards of walking in and being added to the waitlist are more than worth it. Don’t miss out on this gem that brilliantly embodies what makes a bar truly outstanding.

The cocktails are very good and refreshing but I’m not sure it’s worth the hype and headache of getting a reservation. I will say keep in mind the front part of the bar is not the same as the back. For one, the drinks at the front are batched! I try to stay away from batched cocktail spots.The popcorn chicken was solid but a bit on the salty side. Would order it though as the taste is still good.

Great experience. Showed up solo at 3:50pm and waited until 5pm, they gave me the first bar seat in The coop backroom. Line grew really long after 4:20pm. This was January so I imagine its even longer sooner in warmer weather. Seating was limited to 90 minutes. Again, this is the backroom with the craft cocktails. The front room is no craft cocktails but food and beer and that had space for walk ins.Loved the interior, the bar, food, and drink. Had the salted egg yolk chicken, the Bolognese grilled cheese, and 3 cocktails - red eye gravy, raisin biscuit, and the french toast. These were the sweeter desert style drinks, but they had savory and classic drinks too that sounded interesting enough to plan to come back to. Service was incredibly quick possibly because I was the first inside but everyone seemed to get their food right away around me. The pricing was really great in my opinion for a place like this. The food in particular was almost all under $20. Craft cocktails were roughly $20 each which was expected, but for the quality it was worth it.

I got the Japanese cold noodle and mango sticky rice cocktail. Also got the popcorn chicken. All great! I did have to wait for about half an hour. Good spot for solo as well

Really fun bar with great ambiance. We’ve tried a few times to get reservations but they sell out almost immediately after becoming available. They say that they reserve 75% of seating for walk ins so you can get in if you get to the line early. We arrived around 6 on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes for the front room. They told us 4-5 hour wait for the coop and we put our name in. After an hour in the front room they were able to seat us in The Coop. Definitely worth the wait if you can make it!We tried:-Koji Cucumbers-Baby gem lettuce-Popcorn chicken with hot honey and Thai basil saucesIn the Coop:-French Toast-NY Beet Salad-Shroom Ceviche-Key Lime PieEverything was amazing and we all loved the drinks and food. My personal favorite was Key Like Pie with French Toast as a close second.Also, the bathroom in the coop has sound effects so if you get a chance you should check it out.

There really are no words to describe this. The food is excellent, and very well priced, and the cocktails are some of the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t feel that the prices in any way were exorbitant, the cocktails are fairly laid back in alcohol, and really are there to be sipped and enjoyed at a pace that befits the setting - quite fast. It’s difficult to put into words how delicious each one is, and we really loved the key lime pie, the cold noodle, and the French toast

Awesome cocktail bar. A bit of a lottery. Some cocktails are exceptional others are “different”. The place has a great atmosphere. Very nice interior. Music on a very nice level. Audible, but not too loud that you cannot have a conversation.Opens at 5 and you need to 30min before that to then sign up for a place three to four hours down the road.

Best bar in town - every drink is delicately crafted and I can’t get enough of it! Always a great place to take friends to go when they’re visiting NYC.Some of my favorites are Japanese cold noodle, Custard bun, cold pizza, and mushroom ceviche 😍

Was very excited to try this place but we actually thought this was a little over hyped. We enjoyed the drinks from the front room/bar a lot more than the back, perhaps we were not adventurous enough. While the flavors of the cocktails at the back were super spot on, we felt like it was too heavy for our liking. The chicken sandwiches were super massive and delicious. Overall would recommend!

We went to Double Chicken Please on a Friday evening and only waited about 10 minutes before being seated. The cocktail are amazing : we got the NY Beet Salad, Mango Sticky Rice, Key Lime Pie, French Toast and Cold Pizza. All were good but the Key Lime Pie really stood out. The popcorn chicken was also delicious.

The place was amazing starting from the very kind staff greeting you at the door. It’s small but you don’t feel packed and the drinks are incredible. Special thanks to Sasha who made our night with her kindness and great service

We had a very disappointing experience at Double Chicken Please. At 7 PM, the host took our phone number and told us to wait in the Free Range front room for a spot in The Coup (back room). While waiting, we repeatedly asked the host when we could be seated in The Coup, and they assured us to stay put. However, after more than two hours of waiting until 9 PM, the host suddenly claimed that we were never added to the waitlist for The Coup and told us we’d need to wait another 4 hours.This was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. We were feeling unwell and wouldn’t have agreed to sit in the Free Range front room for two hours if we didn’t believe we’d be able to get into The Coup. To make matters worse, the drinks and food in the Free Range front room were poorly made and not enjoyable. Overall, this experience ruined our evening, and we won’t be returning.

Typically, I avoid waiting in lines, but this spot was undeniably worth the exception. The Cold Pizza cocktail was surprisingly refreshing and captured the essence of cold pizza perfectly. The Red Eye Gravy had a fascinating depth of flavor—truly unforgettable. However, my top drinks were tied between the Japanese Cold Noodle and the Mango Sticky Rice; both were impeccably balanced and utterly delicious.As for the food, the Mochi Donut Chicken Sandwich was one of the most creative dishes I’ve ever tasted. I’d gladly return to NYC just for that alone!

The cocktails were fantastic with cold pizza being the best thing on the menu. Each drink we tried was extremely unique having its own independent flavor. We especially liked the key lime pie and would skip mango sticky rice and cold noodle (I know it’s hyped). Atmosphere was extremely chic and sexy. Service was pretty mid ngl, our waiter completely forgot about us and served others even though we ordered first but whatever… All in all top places to try in nyc for sure.

I have to echo the sentiment someone shared below that no sandwiches are available in the front bar area and this is not information that is well shared.The reason to come here is for the drinks and sandwiches. Instead we got pretty mid bar food that was over priced and two cocktails in standing room only once we realized sandwiches arent available in the front area.Disappointed! Food not worth it in the front. Cocktails are fire tho.

Loved the ambience, energy, and fun cocktail creations! Staff is amazing ( especially Alfie) and offered great suggestions based preferences. My favorites were the Waldorf Salad, Japanese cold noodle, and mango sticky rice. A friend of mine had the mocktail version of Key Lime Pie and it was very yummy as well! Excited to go back and try the Custard Bun next time. Also got the Tofu sandwich which was crispy and had peanut butter so texture was on point. Popcorn chicken was a must and the salted egg yolk sauce was super yummy!

Came here with a large group and we got to try out all of the speciality cocktails as well as a few the chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken. Everything was delicious and there’s a drink for almost everyone. Definitely experiment around with what you think you might like. The coop was definitely worth it if you can get reservations.

Awesome spot, understand why they’re at the top of the 50 Best Bars list. Got the hot honey fried chicken sandwich and some popcorn chicken. Massive portions for what you pay compared to other spots in the city and one of the best chicken sandos in the city. Unique cocktails. Got there at 4:45pm on a Wednesday as a walk-in and was the 10th person in line, easily found a spot in the front bar and also could’ve gotten an early dinner in the back room. Of note - if you don’t have a reservation, your entire party needs to be with you before they’ll sit you in the back room (much better vibe). So show up early, on time and with your crew if you don’t have a res!Update: Went back and sat in The Coop with a group. Even better then before - cocktails are definitely better in the back. Order everything on the menu, no misses here. Loved the Japanese Cold Noodle and Waldorf Salad cocktails.

I’ve been wanting to try it out for a very long time, but because I don’t live in NYC so I didn’t get the chance. This time I was visiting the city, so I thought I must go there. When we arrived in a Thursday afternoon around 7pm, there were 42 tables in the line before us. But there’s no wait for the front room because they serve premade tap cocktails there. We didn’t want to wait, so we thought we should give the front room a try, with the idea of a good bar would not serve bad drinks.I was very disappointed. I know the back might be better, but how can they serve such low quality stuff to people who wanted to try their drinks? The quality control is nonexistent. Then my friend and I left, my card got charged for 20% service fee without my consent. Obviously I was NOT planing to tip.I think people should stop going to the “famous bars”. As far as I know, the process of getting selected for some fancy titles is more about marketing and flattering/bribing the potential judges. Because the titles mean fame, popularity and more cash. There are many more places in the city, where the people don’t care much about the illusory.

One of the best bars with inventive, well balanced cocktails. Had to wait in the line to get in, approx 15 minutes.Consists of two rooms, the first one has cocktails on a tap only, which is good to have a quick drink. If you’ve got time, wait for the place in the back room with a solid wood decor.Bartenders technique is impeccable. Tried 3 different cocktails, all of them got interesting flavor and amazingly balanced.Haven’t tried the food, but it looks very delicious.

Great cocktails with unexpected twists. Bartenders at the front is very nice and friendly. The host girl though, she is so obnoxious and pretentious. She is the first person we talked to and first impression is everything. She doesn’t give the details of what different between The Coop and Free range which from what I understand totally different menu. The coop have all the signatures, Key Lime Pie and Double Chicken Sandwiches while for Free Range, menu is more reform but pricey. To be honest, I don’t understand the concept anyway why have 2 different menus and made another one better with the same price.

Drinks were so good and creative. Highly recommend for drinks! We also got the popcorn chicken and one of each sandwich. I’d recommend the popcorn chicken but not the sandwiches. My group of 6 did not like the sandwiches, which is unfortunate. We walked over to Katz after for sandwiches.

The cocktails disappointed, I have tried many of the top bars in different cities and I expected more. The presentations were very basic, the flavors/taste flat and often not matching what I would expect from the description. I tried 3 different ones to make sure. Food was good, classic fried chicken sandwich but well done

Completely lived up to the hype of being the newly anointed best bar in North America! We failed miserably at trying to secure reservations in advance (they open up at midnight 6 days out and immediately disappear). As a result, we were left waiting in line and hoping for the best, which we were willing to do since we were in town for such a short period of time. We put our names down for the back room and eventually made it into the first-come first-serve front room. The drinks in the front room are all on tap and served on the rocks. I had the #13 which was quite good and gave me a bit of a caffeine boost as we waited for the back room to open up. We lucked out and were able to move to the back room very quickly after making it inside. From there, we started working our way through the cocktail menu, ordering the Cold Pizza, Key Lime Pie, Mango Sticky Rice, NY Beet Salad, and the Red Eye Gravy. Everything was remarkable! If we had more time (and a higher tolerance), we would have loved to try the remaining 4 cocktails we werent able to get to. These drinks are definitely works of art that any cocktail lover should try to experience at least once. We will likely try again at reservations the next time we are in town in hopes of getting through the rest of the menu!

4.7 | very very impressed by the cocktails in the backroom here. Incredibly complex in nature with a wide variety of offerings and all whole being at a reasonable price point. The front has on tap cocktails, wouldnt say they were as well executed as the back. Food was solid with good flavor, although, was a tad salty. Would absolutely recommend a stop here for a drink.

Amazing experience and drinks.Waited at 4pm on a Friday for their 5pm opening. 8 people in front in me, shortly after I arrived in line - the line was down the block. Get there early!Was able to sit at The Coop’s bar in the back instantly upon opening. The 2 bartendars were super friendly. Their craft and attention to detail making the drinks were A+++.All the other servers and helpers were great too.Ordered the Reverse Manhattan, Key Lime Pie, Hojitcha Pudding & Popcorn Chicken. Did not regret ordering any of them!After visiting, I can see why they were voted Top Bar in the USA and the world.Thank you for the great experience, DCP!

This bar is one of a kind, their drinks are truly impressive and their chicken is fantastic! I really liked the NY Beet Salad, and the popcorn chicken is a must try. We got in line for the coop at 4:10 to be safe, the line tends to get big around 4:30ish, and we’re seated in the Coop, an awesome room with a great fun vibe. The staff is extremely friendly, and some great music to make this a really fun spot to be in. Great to go with small or big groups, and is 100% worth the visit.

This is my very honest review about this over hyped place. We got 7 chicken sandwiches and half of the buns were cold, but other than that it was good. The popcorn chicken was pretty delicious and so was the cucumbers. Now to the number 1 rated cocktails in the country - we got one of everything on the menu. And really, theyre not as good as I thought they would be. The creative drinks all didnt taste like what the names describe them. And honestly, being rated #1 in the states I would expect this to be at least Aviary level. Overall, I wouldnt stay up again at 12am fighting over the online reservations or wait in 2 hr line in the cold. The hype will fade and people will realize this place is really mid.

Truly a unique experience! Definitely a must for those that like to try out new bars. The drinks are quite creative. Make sure to visit The Coop (back room) to try out their most amazing drinks. In order to try the most meals, try to share whatever you order. Lots of good stuff. The way the cocktails are sorted is in an appetizer, entree and dessert pattern from top to bottom.Its basically impossible to get a reservation (due to bots getting those before one can) but the walk-in line is not that bad. Especially if you go early and on weekdays.

By far one of the best restaurant/bar experiences in NYC. There wasn’t anything that I tried that I didn’t like. Service was great starting with the host being very organized and informative about seating. In the front bar I tried the #11 cocktail with brandy and coffee. It was very well balanced and had a great citrus kick. In the back room (The Coop) I tried The Key Lime Pie. It was the most delicious drink I’ve ever had in my life..no exaggeration. You can taste the crust!! Will absolutely be back to try the other cocktails on the menu.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand the hype. We waited for so long only the walk into a very crowded area. The popcorn chicken is pretty subpar and I had to pay $4 for a sauce. The actually coop is much better than the front. It’s cute and the staff is helpful. But the front experience kind of ruined it. The drinks themselves are amazing and taste so good. But I think the experience of actually being shoved around like a chicken in a tiny coop took away from the overall vibe.

These drinks were so bomb. They are so creative and have such a diverse flavor profile. I think my favorite is the mango sticky rice but I want to come back and try more, the popcorn chicken was delicious as well. Shout out to Andres the bartender who is doing a spectacular job. The whole place had an awesome vibe, I can tell why its one of the best in the world.

Honest opinion Its great, but also overhype, but most people reading this review will come anyway~Came here twice 2 Fridays in a roll: 1st round only at the front and 2nd for the Coop (backroom). Ill say only the Coop was worth it.Pro-tip: The queue is unavoidable unless youre lucky enough to snatch the limited booking online. Best way to do it is come queuing around 4 p.m. (1 hour opening), a host will get your number registered at 5 p.m. for the Coop, & go grab some good food in the area for like an hour or 2. Theyll text you when the Coop is available. That message must be reply in 5 mins & you have to be by the store in 10 mins. Its a lot, but if you want to try the Worlds 2nd Best Bar, thats what you gotta do.The front area consist of premade cocktails and delicious, juicy n crispy fried chickens. I tried the Thai Basil and the Salted Egg one. Both are super creamy and HUGE, so you can order to share. The cocktails here are just fine, not why they got the award for sure.The Coop is where the hype is for. Their base alcohol are basic brands (i.e. Gordon Gin), but its the mixed that made it creative. Each drinks are inspired by comfort food menu. Ive tried Japanese Cold Noodle (which taste as claim with strong hints of cucumber), NY Beet Salad (taste like Beetroot juice lol but I mean I picked it knowing that), & Key Lime Pie (taste as is, its a safe choice for anyone with right amount of sour & sweet). I think they achieve their claims for all cocktails & all are easy to drink, but from what I tried, only Japanese Cold Noodle feels unique enough.

From the speakeasy ambiance to the carefully crafted drinks, this experience was a top notch and a must go if youre in NYC. The bartenders have a wonderful breakdown of what was in each drink as we ordered it: in the first picture we have the mango sticky rice drink in the back and the Japanese cold noodle in the front. The mango sticky rice drink was an interesting twist to the famous dessert - the drink definitely paid homage to the sweetness of the mango, but there were darker notes that you would not expect. It was delicious and an interesting mix. I loved the Japanese cold noodle drink- it was refreshing and balanced with cucumber, coconut and lime.We also ordered the salted egg chicken sandwich which was to die for. The server let us know that they make a house-made sauce that they dip the chicken in to bread it so that the flavor really infuses into the chicken. It was so juicy and delicious! I would go back just for lunch.

Reservations required !! We made our reservation through resy for the back room. That’s where you get the amazing cocktails. They have a 2 hr limit at the back room. We came here for cocktails but I hear the food is also good. Cocktails aren’t potent. Most of the ones I tried was on the sweeter side. We tried 4 cocktails and loved the salad and key lime pie. It does justice. We were seated at the bar in the corner and were distracted few times with multiple servers picking up their orders. Would have loved a bit of interaction from the server or bar tender with a history of the cocktail we are consuming. Decent experience, didn’t have to wait in the long line on a cold evening. I would come back to try out more cocktails and food next time.

Overall rating: 4.9I’ve been here twice and I still think about it to this day. I had both chicken sandwiches & I echo the other reviews - the salted egg yolk 🤤🤤🤤🤤 life changing, mouth watering, please deliver to Brooklyn, amazing.The restaurant is separated into two & you need reservations for the back of house (BOH). The mushrooms pictured are from there & the cocktails are all crafted. I liked the food, I didn’t hate it. I did get the vibe that it’s better for groups than solo.Being a loner, I was attracted more to the front of house (FOH). They’re first come, first serve & totally worth the wait. The drinks are all on draft & very refreshing.I will be back again 100%

Sat at that bar in the coop on a Thursday and it was brilliant. Definitely recommend being at the bar so you can watch everyone in action and chat to the friendly staff (shout out to Irish Shane!), service from everyone was immaculate, and the drinks were the best cocktails weve ever had!! Brilliant evening and worth every $

Jack was an excellent server and the food was very good (lobster tempura). However, the drinks are anything but normal and if you’re looking for a “classic cocktail”, forget it. Let’s call a spade a spade: They’re weird. That’s the point. Good for sophisticates, bad for country bumpkins like me.

For an exceptionally busy and popular bar, every server or hostess was gracious and very welcoming. For such a popular and acclaimed bar, I really appreciated that there wasn’t any sort of unpretentious energy going on - just people relaxing and enjoying a good time.Walked in early on a Thursday, waited 30 minutes for a space to grab drinks and food in the front room, and waited about 1.5 hours for the back room. There is a 90 minute limit per seating in the back. We had the popcorn chicken, hot honey chicken sandwich, and most of the speciality cocktails. Wow, are they skillfully done.The depth of flavor is great, and the layering of flavors / aftertaste is so impressive, particularly with Butter Raisin Biscuit and Cold Pizza. Cold Pizza and Japanese Cold Noodle were uncannily accurate, and the Key Lime Pie was exactly like eating a KLP. The Mango Sticky Rice was not too sweet, and the French Toast was also good.You can’t really go wrong with any of them.

Double Chicken Please masterfully combines avant-garde cocktails + chicken-themed hearty dishes. I visited by myself and got a spot on the outer room (the main room is more lively and music is louder). Staff was nice enough to let me switch to a better table, food and drinks came out quickly. Really enjoyed their #8 and #9 cocktails.

Stood in line in the snow at 4:45 on a Tuesday to get a spot and it was still worth it. Key lime pie drink felt like I was eating pie in the best way? Also wasn’t expecting the fried tofu sandwich to be so crisp and delicious with perfect accompaniment of fried shallots. Friends loved their chicken sandwiches and drinks as well- can’t go wrong and trust the process

Comments are specific to Coop. Haven’t tried out Free Range yet.Food is mid. Cocktails are mid. It’s cool if New York had no other places but you’re in Chinatown so you have tons of options, not worth the wait. But hey if you stroll in and there’s no wait then it’s cool for maybe a drink ?What’s not mid: Japanese Cold noodles cocktailConcept is cool but execution is not very strong.

Every drink in the back room was crafted with detailed attention and creativity in integrating food into a fun cocktail. We tried the chicken sandwiches and tap cocktails in the front, but the back room is what makes this place unique. Our top picks:- mango sticky rice, Japanese cold noodle, French toast, key lime pie, cold pizza, NY Beet Salad

Okay. So, do they have unique drinks and a decent sandwich menu? Yes, definitely. I totally understand the praise when it comes to Double Chickens unique take on different flavors and textures with their mixology. Theyre a great cocktail bar with a classy interior and swanky setup. I quite enjoyed their hot honey chicken sandwiches and loved how well it paired with the cocktails. But I have to wonder if the hype is more than necessary. I was in nyc on a Wednesday for conference and figured I had some time to check out the spot. As a solo diner, there wasnt an option to get a reservation, so I waited at around 4:30 for one of the walk-in spots, and it was pretty seamless overall. For larger groups, Id definitely suggest reserving ahead. The bar filled out completely in the first 10 minutes of opening, and service began right away. Drinks were definitely pricier (though not excessively); I expected that since I was paying for the unique backroom experience. They didnt quite hit the nail with the balance of savory and sweetness of their drinks for me. I felt it leaned heavily on the sweetness side and almost masked the flavors of the alcohol a little too much. I had their much lauded Japanese cold noodles (JCN) and the Red eye gravy (ReG). They both ran sweeter than expected. I enjoyed them, but wouldve loved more savory punch from the sesame and pineapple in the JCN and more roundness and body from the ReG. I would come back again to try their other selections, but maybe after the hype dies down. For me, theyre very good, but the current crowds and tendency for sweeter drinks (that Ive tried), make it harder for me to fully enjoy the experience.

Just as good a chicken sandwich as the hype made it to be!The cocktail list is quite impressive. A little too far out for me in certain mixes of flavors, but they always have the classics as well.Staff is really nice and the space is fun and cozy.

Drinks are great and food is good too! With no reservation you add yourself to the list and still grab a drink in the front. For the summer they have tables outside in the front.

Had a reservation for the Back Room. Absolutely amazing cocktails and chicken! Had a seat at the bar and watching them make drinks and learning more about the drinks was great. The drinks were perfectly executed and reflected the menu with high precision. Service was attentive and the friendly. Will definitely revisit!

UPDATED: this place honestly is terrible when it comes to service. These people are so absolutely full of themselves. We had 2 horrible experiences with them. The first time, we had a Resy reservation on back to back nights and had to change the name for one of them because the reservation holder was not able to make it. They BANNED our resy account because of that. It made no sense. The second time we showed up with a large group as a walk in and waited in line. We told them we would break up into smaller groups to fit in the back and the lady told us that wasnt fair to people that were waiting BEHIND us. Im sorry maam. We were waiting too, thats not fair to US. Why would you come here to be treated so terribly. Theres no consideration or logical behind their decision making process. And for what, theres cocktail bars like this all over the city. Why pay to be treated so badly.OLD:I mean there is nothing to say about this place that hasnt already been said. The drinks are fantastic - the vibe is immaculate and they truly deserve to be so highly rated as the number 2 bar in the world.There are a couple things to be aware of -1. Good luck trying to get a reservation, they open them up 6 days ahead of time, but there must be bots that swoop all the reservations, because theyre all gone at exactly 12am2. You can walk in as long as you are okay with waiting in line - the space is big so the line moves decently fast, but if you want to be able to get food you need to be in the back (the coop)The one huge negative is that the service felt so transactional. There was no customer service feel, it just was like heres your drink and then theyre gone. And trust me I get it this place is busy and revered and its NYC, but still as the number 2 bar in the world you should have some type of welcoming feel.The key lime pie drink is FANTASTIC, loved the mango sticy rice, as well as the French toast. The pizza drink wasnt my favorite, too mozzarella-y.The food was also delicious, tofu sandwich was so so so good.

Everything is perfect. I want to try every single item on the menu! So creative and tasty! Wait for the back room, the long wait time is worth it

Despite the hype surrounding their drinks, my experience didnt quite match the expectations. While I cant speak for the main area, the ambiance where I sat didnt wow me. However, I did enjoy their tasty tofu sandwich, but the tap drink selection felt somewhat lazy. The service was average, neither too slow nor overly prompt. Overall, it was a decent visit, but Im not fully convinced it lives up to the massive hype. I might give it another shot in the future to explore more of what they offer.

It’s #6 bar in the world, and it’s obvious. Well balanced drinks. Luxurious food. Waiting for the back room “coop” is always worth it. Best refreshing cocktail is the “Waldorf salad”. When in doubt, just order the “Japanese cold noodle”.

Quite the mission to book a reservation for their back room but an awesome experience nonetheless. We were visiting NYC for the weekend and can only book 6 days in advance at midnight. We were successful on our second try.Our arrival was off to a rocky start as we got off the wrong stop. We were on airplane mode and didn’t want to lose our spot so I had to turn on service and called in. We were instructed to call in (in case we were running late) but both calls went to voicemail. We got there and our table was given to a walk-in party. Thankfully they made things work and seated us in. We waited an additional 15 minutes for our booth.The reviews on the popcorn chicken did not lie. The drinks are phenomenal. It taste exactly like their name. I got to try the mango sticky rice, Japanese cold noodle and key lime pie. The hot honey chicken sandwich was great. I might’ve waited too long to enjoy the salted egg yolk chicken sandwich but found the flavour underwhelming.Have your Resy account ready with a credit card. These slots go fast but it’s worth it.

The cocktails are unique and well thought out. Truly some of the best I’ve ever had.The chicken sandwich was just alright - nothing amazing and definitely paled in comparison to their drinks.If you are walking in, I highly recommend lining up 20-30 minutes before they open to guarantee a seat. Also, the back room > front room.

It can oftentimes be very difficult to get a spot at DCP, but it is absolutely worth the effort. The chicken sandwiches and the cocktail concoctions are the key highlights. I had the Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Sandwich and the flavors were well-balanced with just a slight kick, contrasting with the crunchy but juicy fried chicken. DCP is famous for their cocktails and rightly so; would highly recommend being adventurous and giving their wildest options a try. Ambiance was very interesting, with the front feeling like a sports bar and the back room giving off plush, vintage speakeasy vibes. All around a great experience!

Loved the French Toast and Key Lime Pie Cocktails. I know the pizza gets the most reviews but it just tasted like tomatos. Maybe we just had a bad batch so we will have to come back. The chicken Bolognese sandwich was incredible

Drinks and ambience are great, especially the back room which has an exclusive menu, and it’s SO GOOD! Love the Key Lime Pie drink, carries the pastry and egg flavouring through the drink so well - if you like innovative drinks, this is a must!

The atmosphere at this establishment is great—minimalistic and chic. It reminds me of Atlas Kitchen in Morningside Heights, a Michelin star Asian restaurant.Drinks were great (I tried the sazerac and the french toast) and fairly priced for the quality.The only bummer was that the kitchen was closed when we arrived! I personally think, given the name of the place and its emphasis on chicken, the kitchen should close when the bar closes as well.

Stellar Friday afternoon experience. Got in line at 4:30 and promptly seated at 5pm, for two people. Best cocktails were the Waldorf Salad and Key Lime Pie - the Red Eye Gravy and Cold Pizza weren’t bad but didn’t have the same impact.Chicken liver mousse, popcorn chicken, and our two chicken sandwiches were sublime - crunchy, well spiced chicken and the coffee butter on top of the mousse was killer. All worth reordering.We did have a bit of trouble flagging down a server and knowing who our primary server was, but once we did everything was prompt and attentive. That can happen when you seat the entire space as soon as the doors open though! Great experience overall!

Cocktails are very unique and really good! I had the French Toast and Mango Sticky rice and love them. We sat in the back room and it had an intimate chic ambiance. The food was also chef kiss. Beautifully plated and incredible flavors. Highly recommend!

It’s a nice bar just order key lime pie and cold noodle. It’s my favourite drinks. You can start in the front room first and put your name down for the back room

Best cocktail bar in New York! All the drinks are inspired from dishes like cold pizza and mango sticky rice. And they did taste like those lol. Especially the cold pizza, literally cold margarita pizza in liquid form. Also recommend the mango sticky rice - lots of layers of flavors.The fried chicken sandwich was insanely good too!Make sure to book the back room in advance for a quieter and more comfortable booth experience

Best of best chicken sandwich in the city. I know we’ve heard a lot of ‘best chicken sandwich’ but the HOT HONEY is the BEST chicken sandwich ever. Had never truly agreed one to be the best chicken sandwich before this. Ordered salted duck but hot honey was the best. Perfect bun and it’s very unusual to find such great bread in a chicken sandwich anywhere else. Also if pick up the sweet potato chips just comes as a small bag of chips which doesn’t feel like worth it really. But will always come back for the HOT HONEY.

Amazing drinks even the one had in the front, but the back room they were really stunning. The beet salad started with was an impeccable appetizer moc in drink form. The cold soba noodle drink was unsure of got recommended to try and was maybe my favorite of them all, the umami savory drink had me swooning over. If it were not for the wonderful drinks tho I would have docked at least a star or more as the chicken sandwich, which I thought was part named for, was kind of terrible. Order was misplaced at first cause took forever to come out after other around and they it seemed like thin pieces layered mostly breading. I kept thinking maybe they gave me a vegetarian one or something tho tasted alright didnt say anything, cause it was really pretty dark back there and couldnt tell just turned to finishing another drink and the spicy cucumbers that were killer too after half or less instead of complaining...

Worthy of its name as one of the best cocktail experiences globally. The Halloween seasonal cocktail I enjoyed featuring curry powder was exceptional. The mixologists really knew their stuff, chatty and shared their knowledge.The sit down bar was good for socialising and the door man was cool, remembering me on my second visit. Food is enjoyable too.

Enjoyed some delightful cocktails, and a chicken sandwich, both in the front of the restaurant and in the coop. Great experience all around, be prepared to stand in line if you don’t have a reservation.

One of the most interesting dining experiences in the city.I came in knowing the drinks were good because theres a world champion mixologist working behind the bar. Even then my expectations were blown out of the water.Truth is I dont drink (cant drink), but I love food. The only exceptions I make for alcohol are champagne at weddings and wine pairings. Imagine my dilemma when I found out the drinks here were food inspired. The Red Eye Gravy had Prosciutto and it was fantastic!On to the actual food. This place set a new standard for bar food. Ive had food from Michelin Star restaurants that do not live up to these creations. The stuffed chicken wings are a must. The layers of flavors will surprise you.

The chicken sandwich was crispy, juicy, and tasty. The key lime pie cocktail is perfect for those who don’t like the taste of strong alcohol. Chicken liver mousse was also really good.

Got in line for walk in around 4:50. Took us 1.5 hours for us to get seated. Great drinks and attentive waiter. The mochi donut sandwich was stellar. Probably will skip out on the cucumbers next time.

The back room is very cozy and a great spot to hang out for a couple hours. Drinks all tasted exactly like their food dish names which was super unique. Got the tofu sandwich as well which was delicious. However, considering they are listed as one of the best bars in the world I was a bit underwhelmed.

Chicken burger worth trying; I had the salted egg yolk one. Note that their front room doesnt offer made to order cocktails, and their back room doesnt offer the chicken burger till 10pm. However, we went when they opened and was able to get the burger, then scored a seat in the backroom before it was filled with the prime dinner crowd. Their made to order cocktails were unique and worth trying. Would pass on the draft cocktails, which were a little diluted in taste.

Perhaps the most incredible and unique culinary experience I’ve ever had! If you can manage to get in, it is an unforgettable experience. Every single drink is worthy of being a flagship at any other bar, and yet, they have them all! I will make an attempt to drink here every NYC trip for the rest of my life!

Heard many good things about this restaurant. Got a reservation and came there a little bit earlier. Had to wait for the table to be ready. The service was a bit rude, especially for the price you pay at this place. Chicken was actually good. The drinks are unique indeed, some of them taste really good, but I would not say that it is worth the hype :)

Went at 6pm on a Thursday and there was already a 4-5h wait for the back room. Appparently you have to start lining up at 4pm to get in on a walk-inBut the front had no wait - even for a big group (7ppl). The hot & honey chicken sandwich was AMAZING! Popcorn chicken with the egg yolk sauce was also great. Wasn’t a big fan of the cocktail selection offered for the front room - had #7. The cool part was that they all were poured from taps.Definitely need to come back for the back room experience next time!

The highlight of Double Chicken Please lies in its creative cocktail selection, where mixologists have skillfully crafted drinks that capture the essence of various culinary delights. From the moment I perused the menu, I was intrigued by the inventive combinations that promised to deliver a sensory experience like no other. Each drink was carefully crafted with attention to detail, incorporating elements that evoked the essence of different dishes.The mixologists expertly balanced flavors, creating a harmonious blend that paid homage to the food flavors they were inspired by. The presentation of the drinks was also noteworthy, with garnishes and glassware that added to the overall visual appeal, enhancing the experience even further.The atmosphere at Double Chicken Please was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy these unique libations. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, readily providing recommendations and insights into the cocktail creations.

Had some amazing food and just as amazing cocktails at this new to nyc restaurant/bar. Do yourself a favor and get the chips and salted duck egg yolk sauce. That is really unique and it has amazing flavor and creaminess. Huey and the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place. Definitely get here before it gets difficult to find a reservation because thats how it will be shortly.

Hard to get a reservation here, but we put ourselves on the notify list and managed to grab one at 5pm on a Sunday in the backroom. The backroom is cooler than the front room lol. They are honestly pretty much the same, but they are divided by a tinted door/wall, and so that make the front room more public (there could be people standing around etc). The backroom is nice and moody lighting, the bartenders are really fancy, and the drinks are excellent. There are two mocktail versions.I recommend you come here with some friends and try as many drinks as you can to find what you like. The chicken is also pretty good - popcorn chicken and the hot honey and the shrimp chicken sandwich. The chicken liver mousse is pretty thick but yummy and in good quantity. Service here was really good, and vibes were also amazing.Thank you DCP!

I got there before 6 and there was a bit of a wait but not too crazy. The back room was closed for renovations so only premade draft drinks that were still pretty good. I also tried their chicken which was really good. I would definitely come back.

Absolutely wonderful combination of Chicken based dishes and unique delicious cocktails. Double Chicken does both so well and literally everything on the menu is a taste you probably havent experienced before. The Mochi Doughnut and the Waldorf Cocktail were my favourites but you wont go wrong with anything here.

Chicken sandwich was fantastic. We waited in walk up like for front room on Saturday around 6pm for 45 mins.

GN and Jason are superb mixologists and the kitchen rocks - fun crowd!

The waiting area tape cocktails are kinda sad but once you get in the coup, the cocktails are great. It’s probably worth the wait to get to the coup and have the drinks in there. We had to wait in line outside for 45 mins and then in the waiting area for 2hrs. The popcorn chicken is really good and so is the tofu sandwich.

Double Chicken Please is famous. It’s famous because they make cocktails that miraculously taste like food. These bartenders put some serious R and D in these drinks. So the “Cold Pizza”Drink tastes exactly like cold pizza. The “Japanese Noodle” drink tastes exactly like jaoanese noodles, etc.. They are delicious and surprising. The waiter was patient and had a great vibe.And even the chicken is good.

Innovative craft cocktails and gourmet bistro bar food in warm, wood-filled interiors. All of their cocktails taste like their names, with well balanced, subtle, sometime unexpected notes. Love the mango rice and cold noodle. Their salted egg yolk fried chicken sandwich is juicy, flavorful, and a late night delight!

Ranked number 14 on the 2024 50 best bars list, DCP is the originator of the savory, meal-inspired cocktail trend. Get there early, give your phone number and go do something. Then, you’ll be hosted in a beautiful, Japan-inspired wooden room where chicken themed items and illustrations are faintly lit. The menu lists the famous cold pizza but also a Thai curry drink or a soba noodle, or a dried ham slice and bourbon. It’s an innovative menu but is innovation and hype a recipe for good cocktails? Well, it depends on your taste, and what you expect. Personally, I wasn’t blown away but the attention to detail is here. The snacks are great and you’ll get the best chicken sandwich you’ve had in a while, juicy and full of flavor. Bonus point for the recording of a coop playing in the restroom!

Absolutely deserving of its spot on the 50 Best Bars list! Three of us visited and tried two cocktails each—every drink brought unique, natural, and intriguing flavors. The atmosphere and music were fantastic, making for an unforgettable experience. An amazing bar through and through!

This place was packed. come early and get in line 15mins before they open to snag a seat in the backroom. It’s first come, first serve.Their cocktails are innovative and complex. Highly recommend getting the Mango Sticky Rice drink in the backroom and the taptails in the frontroom.Service was great, fast, informative and friendly.The food was good, not spectacular…. And everything was expensive … so, making this spot your regular go-to is not an option.

Make a reservation for the back room. We ordered every single non classic cocktail. Flavors are amazing and so well balanced. My favorite was the cold pizza, which is like a savory (not salty) martini. Gn (the owner) is super hospitable and
