In our talk with Jeremy, he shared with us where he likes to drink in New York, his current Netflix binge, and more. In his 9 years behind the bar, Jeremy has worked in Paris, Switzerland, Australia, the UK, and now, New York.Īfter stints around the world, Jeremy is now the Bar Director at Thyme Bar, a speakeasy tucked away in The Flatiron. Also, it is a very intimate setting so I would not recommend it for large groups.Born in France, Jeremy LeBlanche has been bartending for almost a decade. So if you decide to come here, keep that in mind. We also order fries which were crisp on the outside but very soft on the inside.I think there was also a 90 minute time limit as the waiter very courteously informed us as we neared it. As for the Eucalyptus Watercolor, when reading the description I thought it was too strange but it blended nicely and nothing stuck out as a weird flavor.All in all, we spent way too much here on cocktails but it was a very unique experience. I had to keep tilting it downwards to try to drink it. The "glass" it was in was about a foot tall and then you used a straw. I really liked the HWYL cocktail but it was too tall. My friend had the Gynoecium Old Fashioned that was a really unique tasting old fashioned and came with a little dessert.For the last round, we decided to go for the more "basic" drinks.
The ice cube was turned into a popsicle with chocolate. My friend's Primrose & Rye looked more like a table decoration but was also an interesting drink.For the second round, I had the Bloomist Cloche which was much easier to drink than my last one. The only problem was the metal straw was a little difficult to maneuver in the strange stacked pebble shaped glass. The drink was refreshing and came with a piece of crispy salmon skin. The Chatpata Fizz started off with a lot of smoke and was super impressive looking when they placed it in front of me. The cocktails ranged from about $18 to $30.For the first round we had the The Chatpata Fizz and the Primrose & Rye. For ourselves, we decided to start with the more elaborate to the less elaborate. My friend and I were set up at the bar so we were able to see a lot of the preparations. On their menu they even indicate how elaborate a cocktail set-up is. When we went back we had our vaccine cards and IDs checked and then were led down a set of stairs to the bar.So Thyme bar is known for their cocktail presentations which are a bit off the norm. After about 40 minutes I got the text that our table was ready. I gave her my phone number and she said she would text us. When we got here the staff told us there was no availability but there would likely be a table open in about an hour. We forgot to make reservations for a Saturday night but figured we would try to walk-in.
