Jeremy’s Cocktail Bar Opens on UES

I’m so thrilled to have a new cocktail bar in the neighborhood, and even better that it comes from third-generation owner, Jeremy Schaller, of Schaller & Weber.

We visited Jeremy’s this past Saturday night (the day after the official opening) and popped in about 8:15 to inquire about a spot. The super-nice doorman let us know that we could come back in about 45 minutes and have a drink—easy enough. We passed the time getting a quick app at Jaques and then arrived at 9-ish for a cocktail.

The place is small and it was busy. But that sort of made it a more festive and fun environment. By the time we arrived, it was standing room only and we found a perch for our drinks near the bar. We each ordered a gin martini (a Gibson for Nate and olives for me), which was perfectly made. The bartender, Morgan, was also incredibly friendly.

There was live jazz playing and the crowd seems to be a total mix of people, which you don’t always see in this neighborhood. There was some serious fashion on display, too. I love that Jeremy’s feels a bit different than anywhere else on the Upper East Side—and that’s a good thing.
