The Cabinet Mezcal BarB+

649 E 9th St, New York, NY 10009 · Cocktail bar, Education center, Event venue · Alphabet City

Destination mezcal bar with deep agave selection, knowledgeable bartenders, and light Mexican snacks; great happy hour, occasional service/communication lapses.

Why this grade

The Cabinet delivers solid execution as a spirits-focused destination anchored by exceptional bartender expertise in agave and mezcal curation and warm, knowledgeable service. Thoughtful moody design and strong happy hour value reinforce its appeal to agave enthusiasts. However, modest food quality with small portions, occasional service delays during peak hours, and tight seating when crowded prevent grade A territory—this excels as a cocktail bar, not a full dining destination.

One caveat: Taco portions are very small; better as a nibble than a meal
