Our Take

A Pub That Takes Cocktails Seriously

Suffolk Arms opened in 2016 from Giuseppe Gonzalez, the bartender who designed the cocktail programme at PKNY. The concept is unusual: a working New York pub with real ales on tap, plus a serious cocktail programme that runs to 30 drinks. The room is split between a pub-style front bar and a more intimate back room.

The cocktails lean classical with a Caribbean rum focus. Gonzalez is a Trinidad-born bartender and the rum programme reflects that. The pub side runs eight cask and craft ales rotating weekly.

The crowd is LES locals, cocktail tourists, and a Sunday brunch crowd. The bar runs late — until 4am Thursday to Sunday — which makes it one of the better LES late-night options. Pair with Attaboy a few blocks west for an LES cocktail crawl.

What to Order

Mai Tai

Aged rum, fresh lime, orgeat, orange curaçao. The 1944 Trader Vic specification, executed by Gonzalez.

Penicillin

Blended Scotch, lemon, ginger honey, smoky float. Modern classic.

Cask Ale

Eight rotating real ales. The pub side. Always reliable.

Burger

Pub burger with American cheese, on a brioche bun. Solid.
