About barmini by José Andrés
The sister room to minibar treats the bar as a test kitchen: cocktails change color and flavor as they sit, frozen drinks come in layered halves, and the flights set several experiments side by side. Snacks follow the same logic, and a grilled cheese, wagyu tartare, spicy tuna and a trio of mini waffles all draw praise. The room is white and brightly lit, with open shelving, a long counter and a few lounge tables; regulars advise a bar seat to watch the bartenders work. It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm to 11:30pm and is closed Sunday and Monday. At 4.8 on Google from roughly 650 reviews the consensus is strongly positive, but a minority find some flights more concept than drink and report sending glasses back. Seatings are timed, so a late arrival joining a table near the end of its slot may not be served.
