About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
Stylish without pretension, The Ship is a tucked-away gem of a bar with charm and vibrant atmosphere to spare, a unique balance of upscale quality and playful fun. Come by early in the evening for an after-work drink, a catchup with an old friend (or group of friends), or a memorable date. Come by later in the evening or on a weekend night for drinks and music with some of the best DJs in town.

Drinks are casually exceptional, a combination of unique originals and old standbys made perfect. Small plates are savory and modern, all with an upscale, relaxed atmosphere that feels like your own private island in the bustling SoHo Sea.

!HAPPY HOUR!

LARGE PARTIES: Reservations of 6 or more are encourage however due to our small space please contact the SHIP to book your large reservation and further details. theshipnyc@gmail.com.

    We had a reservation for 745; got there, and they told us last call was 815pm since they had a party. Thanks for NOT telling us in advance!! They blamed open table, but they could have called to tell us so we could go elsewhere. Drinks were good, but when i ordered the same drink again it came clear whereas the original was cloudy; asked the bartender why (the server didn’t notice it was clear i guess) and he said they forgot the citrus. So fail for them. Too bad, it looked pretty nice.

    We made a reservation for 2 one and half month earlier with request of sitting at sofa table and yet we still only get normal table because we're party of two. There were many parties of 3 sitting at sofa tables without reservations. We asked if we could get a sofa table if we waited for a while and got negative answer. We came to NY for travel and wanted to have a great night so we booked early, but it didn't happen. Atmosphere was great, not a fan of how the staffs dealt with reservations.

    Not the best, not the worst. CDB cocktails were good, but nothing to write home about, pretty pricey for the portions you get. Probably would not go back

    A great space for a gathering of friends in a laid back, energetic environment. Their cocktails are creative and the menu is better than your typical bar food - very inventive.

    Only had drinks since the kitchen wasn’t fully opened. The HH drinks were good. The place is pretty small and dark but I’d entertain the place again if in the area.
