FOLK, South Slope: Draft Negronis and a Chef's Bar Menu
FOLK doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s a cocktail bar on the corner of 6th Avenue and 20th Street from Jay Kumar, the chef behind LORE on 7th Avenue, and the food is the reason it’s more than a nice room.
The verdict: the best cocktails-and-food stop at the bottom of the Slope, priced as a night out, not a happy hour. Start with a negroni off the tap.
What to Expect
- Negronis on draft: a house red, a house white with toasted coconut, and a 50/50 blend of the two.
- Cocktails: the Mangalorean (rums, pineapple, curried coconut cream), Hanami Bloom (vodka, cherry blossom sake, lychee) and a mezcal-and-passionfruit Tuluminati.
- Food: roti tagliatelle with kheema bolognese, pakora fried chicken, a Mumbai pot pie, a burger and fish and chips.
- Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 5pm–midnight, Sunday to 11pm, closed Monday; kitchen until 10pm.
