Verdict
Dos Caminos at 475 W Broadway in SoHo is permanently closed. If you're searching for it, stop here: there is nothing to book, no reservation to make, and no reason to make the trip. The space is gone. What follows is context for anyone piecing together what it was and where to go instead.
What It Was
Dos Caminos operated as a mid-tier Mexican restaurant and bar concept with multiple Manhattan locations before closing its doors. The SoHo outpost on West Broadway was part of that broader footprint, positioned for the neighbourhood's mix of weekend brunchers, after-shopping diners, and pre-night-out crowds. It was never a destination for serious Mexican cooking or a standout cocktail program by New York standards, but it served a reliable margarita and a crowd-friendly table format that worked for groups. In the city's current bar scene, that positioning has been taken over by sharper, more focused venues with clearer identities. The closure reflects a broader shakeout in the casual-upscale Mexican category across Manhattan. If the guacamole-and-margarita format was what you were after, you can find that done better at several SoHo and Lower Manhattan alternatives today.
Where to Go Instead
For Mexican-inflected cocktails and a bar program that actually has a point of view, Superbueno is the current answer in New York. If you want something more bitters-focused and spirit-forward, Amor y Amargo on East 6th is one of the city's most deliberate amaro and bitters bars and easy to get into. For a classic neighbourhood bar with a strong cocktail list and genuine atmosphere, Angel's Share in the East Village or Attaboy NYC on Eldridge Street are both worth the trip. Neither requires far advance planning on most nights.

More bars in New York City
- (SUB)MERCER(SUB)MERCER occupies a basement address on Mercer Street in SoHo, positioning it as a deliberate destination rather than a drop-in. The subterranean format tends to keep ambient noise lower than street-level alternatives, making it a reasonable call for groups of four or more. Book ahead for weekends and confirm group capacity directly with the venue.
- 1 OR 81 OR 8 on DeKalb Avenue is a low-key Fort Greene bar that works best for two people on a weeknight when the room is quiet enough for conversation. Walk-ins are easy, no advance planning required. If a specialist cocktail program is your priority, Attaboy or Amor y Amargo offer more defined experiences — but for a neighbourhood drink without the fuss, this delivers.
- 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar230 Fifth is the easiest rooftop bar in Midtown to walk into, and the Empire State Building views justify the trip. The crowd skews groups and tourists, and the drinks are solid rather than craft-focused. Go early on a weekday for the best version of the experience; after 9 PM on weekends it tips firmly into party-group territory.
- 4 Charles Prime Rib4 Charles Prime Rib is a compact, reservation-required West Village dining room built around a focused prime rib format. It works well for dates and pairs but is too small for groups of four or more. Booking is easy relative to Manhattan peers, and the narrow menu signals a kitchen that executes one thing consistently well.
- 44 & X Hell's KitchenA low-key Hell's Kitchen neighborhood bar-restaurant that earns its place for easy weeknight dates and pre-theatre dinners. Booking is simple, the room is intimate enough for conversation, and there's no dress pressure. Not a cocktail destination, but a reliable, pressure-free option in Midtown West when you want comfort over spectacle.
- 58-22 Myrtle Ave58-22 Myrtle Ave is a low-key Ridgewood neighborhood spot that rewards return visits more than first impressions. Easy to get into, with no reservation headaches, it suits regulars looking for an unpretentious room rather than a structured cocktail program. If a strong drinks list or kitchen ambition matters to you, look to Attaboy or Amor y Amargo instead.
