Schmuck is a cocktail bar in the East Village from bartenders Moe Aljaff and Juliette Larrouy, known for chili-oil-forward cocktails and a self-described "boozy living room" house-party vibe, plus a walk-in-only Kitchen Table dining concept.
Press coverage (Yelp reviews and local outlets) reports that lines have continued to stretch down 1st Avenue nightly even close to a year after opening; the bar takes walk-ins and will start a waitlist or have guests wait outside when at capacity, so arriving without a reservation likely means some wait, especially on weekend evenings.
