Ghost Donkey

SoHo & Chinatown


Rowdy meets trippy meets craft at this mezcal and tequila house, with vibes of Mexico, the Middle East and the Wild West. If the moon had a saloon, this place would fit right in. It's more than just a gimme-a-shot-and-lime stop. The extensive mezcal and tequila menu is organized by region and mezcal pours come with seasonal fruits and salts.

Or sink into a low, cushioned couch to sample the excellent craft cocktails beneath a star-lit sky of fairy lights (try the spicy frozen house margarita).
