soyo craft bar

the so[uth] yo[nker] (so/yo) visit. i don't visit south yonkers a lot but, a friend of mine han being telling so much about this place that i had to visit it; more when i heard that john taffer and thebarrescue show from spike tv (google it) where here... well located in south yonkers and that's where they have their name so/yo good vibe and excellent cocktails... whoever is training this guys is doing a good job. well prepared craft cocktails, customers service (hard to find even in midtown nowadays) i didn't try the food, but i will next time ... good place to hang out with friends after work

way uptown martini. can't pass on this martini

eclectic blue. just like it's namesake.. the drinks are fantastic just like the person they are named after. flavorful food and interesting combinations in drinks. soyo craftbarhas a downtown feel in yonkers. great staff and service. especially blue owner/ master bartender, remembers your name and makes you feel welcomed every time you come in. i'll definitely be back. ♡ them.

i had to give this place a second try.. let me start by saying, i am a seasoned bartender with over 15 years experience. i was recommended this location by a co worker.i was excited that a craft cocktailbarwas actually open in westchester close to my area and didn't have to go to the city for a craft cocktail. i was pleasantly surprised the second time as anyone who read my first review would know my first time wasn't good at all. i honestly thought this place had potential but the staff member who served me on my maiden voyage was horrible to say the least. i'm glad i gave this place a second shot, i don't know if it was because a manger (nice guy with tattoos) was behind thebarworking on recipes because my experience was pleasant and to be honest really enjoyable. the young lady that served me was polite and we'll informed about her spirits ( big plus). she had great technique and her skill was clearly visible in her preparation and taste. the 2 drinks were deep in flavor and complex nothing like the first time. this place really is a breath of fresh air if the right bartenders are working i guess. i hope they keep up the work as i surely will return to follow up (3rd time is a charm)

in short the location is designed very well with a great city vibe, the scampi wing are still my favorite. thisbarhas good food , an average city decor by manhattan standards. a great local taste of craft cocktails in yonkers.

coolbarwhen you walk. nice ambiance. we were greeted by the manager. everything was great until we ordered drinks. bartender was completely horrible. babbled on and on about nothing, and completely forgot about the drinks she was in the process of making. it sat it a glass for 10 min in front us unfinished until she stopped flirting with the guy next to us and realized that she never finished our drinks. food was amazing. ordered another drink and she totally blew us off cause she was busy trying to take the guy next to us home. we complimented the chefs on our way out but will never go there again because of the horrible bartender. i used to bartend and i've to dive bars that have better service behind the bar. never again. she was horrible. she should be fired
