About Bad Therapy
Bad Therapy sits on Cortelyou Road and works as both a daytime cafe and an evening bar. Reviewers describe a cozy, low-key space where the morning matcha and iced coffee give way to cocktails, wine, and live jazz after dark. The interior reads as warm and comfortable, and the backyard, painted with murals, is a recurring favorite, calm in the daytime and turned into an outdoor movie spot in summer. Regulars treat it as a neighborhood go-to. Several note it suits both quiet solo time and catching up with friends, with friendly baristas and music playing day and night. One reviewer calls out a good selection of pastries, and live music, art, and movie nights give the room more going on than a standard cafe. It holds a 4.7 rating across 243 reviews.
