Located in Astoria, Queens, Adriaen Block is a distinct New York bar that celebrates CBD-infused drinks that are both low ABV and no ABV. Helmed and created by bartender Zsolt “George” Csonka, this new bar aims to enhance perceptions of CBD in the bar scene and hopes to entice drinkers with beverages that offer a strong flavor profile and relaxing state of mind. All the cocktails on the menu feature a CBD tincture and feature stoner pun names like the 'Rolled Fashioned' and 'Stoney Negroni.'
Other cocktails featured on the menu include the '1614' featuring sparkling wine and muddled fresh honeydew, and the 'Whirlpool,' which comes comprised of Italicus and Prsecco. Adriaen Block also has a food menu, offering items often found in a steakhouse or pub, which can all be enhanced with CBD sauce or CBD-infused whipped cream for dessert.
