Due West

A beverage program designed by former Locanda Verde cocktail director Jess Goldfarb is the cornerstone of this West Village gastropub. The house serves its own cocktails on draft (like the Green Witch, made with gin, saffron and toasted rosemary) and by the bottle (there’s a custom rum-and-cola and a paloma). Also look for shareable “large-format” drinks and the “Due Your Own Old Fashioned” menu, with a variety of bitters, sugars and spirits. Elevated pub fare includes snacks like poached shrimp, fried cauliflower and beef tartare, plus more substantial entrées like sasso chicken with foie gras. The cozy yet modern space also showcases rotating art work from Chelsea’s ACA Galleries.
