How it works

Front Room vs. Back Room

Double Chicken Please is really two experiences under one roof. Knowing the difference is the key to ordering well.

The casual side

Front Room - walk-in, food-friendly

The Front Room is a casual, walk-in bar with no reservations. It serves a more approachable list of highballs and classic cocktails, and it's where the food menu lives - including the namesake double-fried chicken sandwich. Come here if you want fried chicken and a great drink without planning ahead.

The reservations-only Back Room is where the dish-inspired signature cocktails are served as a more deliberate, tasting-style experience.

About Double Chicken Please

A bartender's bar that thinks like a kitchen.

Double Chicken Please was founded by bartenders Faye Chen, GN Chan and Hannah Choi, who built their reputation translating the flavors of food into cocktails. The idea reached its full form on the Lower East Side: a casual walk-in Front Room for highballs, classics and fried chicken, and a reservations-only Back Room where drinks like Cold Pizza and Japanese Cold Noodle are engineered to taste, improbably, like the dishes they're named for.

The approach earned the bar the top spot on The World's 50 Best Bars list in 2024, cementing it as one of the most influential cocktail bars in the world.
