damnlines.comdamnlines.comNacho Jimenez's Mexican-American cocktail bar, No. 2 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2024, packed nightly with conga lines.
Superbueno doesn't run a rope line so much as a full room. Time Out New York visited on a 6pm Thursday and a late Monday and found bar seats, tables, and booths 'just as full' each time, concluding a reservation is 'necessary no matter the day of the week.' Tables book through Resy; the bar area takes walk-ins.
The room is small and the demand is national. The bar took No. 2 on North America's 50 Best Bars in 2024 and Best Bar in the Northeast USA, then climbed to No. 12 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2025. The World's 50 Best describes 'guests pack the cozy space' for impromptu conga lines; Time Out reports 'nightly conga lines' on Fridays and Saturdays.
How people handle it: book ahead, or walk in for the bar and expect a full room. The Infatuation lists Superbueno as a place to wait out a table elsewhere -- 'an exceptionally lively bar' -- but notes reservations carry a cancellation fee, and adds that 'if it's too packed, head to Commodore II' nearby.
