GN Chan and Faye Chen opened Double Chicken Please on Allen Street in 2020 and within three years pulled North America's 50 Best Bars #1 (2023) — credentials run dense from there: World's 50 Best Bars #6 in 2022 and #41 in 2025, N.A. 50 Best #7 in 2024 and #35 in 2026, multi-year Spirited Awards finalist. A late-2024 reformat split the venue into two rooms: the front "Free Range" room runs walk-in kegged cocktails (signature draft serves "Cold Pizza" and "Japanese Cold Noodles" pulled from taps), while the back room "The Coop" runs a reservation-only tasting paired with the bar's signature Chicken Sandwich format. Taiwanese-leaning bar food anchors the kitchen alongside the cocktail program. Peer in elite NYC cocktail-bar credential register to PDT (JBA 2012 first winner) and Maison Premiere (JBA 2016 winner, N.A. 50 Best #40 in 2026), all three sitting in the catalog as the world-class-bar tier. For one of NYC's most-credentialed cocktail venues — the walk-in / tasting split makes Allen Street two rooms in one program.
