Openings: Oddball on Avenue B

Oddball debuted last night at 188 Avenue B. 

The cocktail bar takes over the space between 11th Street and 12th Street from Hi-Note. The team includes LaTeisha Moore and Philip Reichenberger from Hi-Note and Beverage Director Logan Rodriguez and bartender Allen Oino, who have assembled a debut menu built around "odd couples" featuring ingredient pairings like a daiquiri made with blueberry, ricotta whey and horseradish. 

The space has a 1970s-inspired look with wood, stone and metal details, and the bar will feature spirits from smaller and New York–based producers. 

Per an Oddball rep: 
Guests will find a smoked sunchoke spirit from Matchbook Distillery, waste-upcycling distillates from Acid Spirits (made using food and farm scraps), and experimental botanical batches from Empirical Spirits. The backbar reflects a commitment to conscientious craftsmanship and a passion for working with makers who are creatively ahead of the curve. 
Hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. 

You can follow the Oddball Instagram account for updates. 

Hi-Note closed last month after three years in the space.
