Attaboy
New York, United States
North America's 50 Best Bars ranked it No. 37 in 2026. World's 50 Best Bars ranked it No. 72 in 2025.
No menu, no signage, and a front-door instruction that reads "Please Wait To Be Greeted." Sam Ross and Michael McIlroy opened this Eldridge Street bar in 2012 as a spiritual successor to Milk & Honey, and it climbed twelve places to No. 72 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2025. Bartenders build every drink in conversation with the guest, ask for something citrus-forward and spirit-driven, and you might receive the Penicillin that Ross invented here. Attaboy operates seven nights a week until 3 a.m. The consistency across a decade-plus run borders on unreasonable. It currently stands at No. 37 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026.
