Shooki’s Review of Mink
By Shooki · Reviewed June 2026
A tight squeeze built for two, and one of the nicest restroom setups I've reviewed in Corktown sitting behind it.
Mink is a tight squeeze. Not in a bad way. More like a room built for two people, a date night, a couple of drinks, maybe oysters when the season is right, and small enough that you can't really hide from the vibe.
I was in for drinks this time. Some vino, a cocktail for a friend, and we were feeling it.
This isn't the kind of place you casually pile into with a big group and hope for the best. It's small, it's intimate, and you should plan accordingly. If it's packed, no panic — walk over to Alpino. Solid backup move.
Best for
- Two people and a couple of drinks
- A date night in Corktown
- Oysters in season
Less ideal for
- A big group turning up on spec
- Anyone who needs an accessible restroom
- A loud night out

Observed accessibility limitations
- Shooki observed that the restroom setup may be difficult for some users
A visit observation and visible grab bars do not establish a complete step-free route or formal compliance.
The first-party record identifies two private gender-neutral rooms that appeared to be shared with Folk next door. Shooki’s written assessment covers the pair and describes a clean, pleasant-smelling setup with thoughtful upkeep.
Fixture-level photos document one of the two interiors: one toilet, one sink, grab bars, a baby-changing station, hand towels, and a cleaning log. The other room’s fixture parity is not documented. The reviewer found the setup difficult for some users, but that observation does not establish a complete route assessment or formal accessibility finding.
