Nick AndlingerMarch 22, 2017The pat la Frieda burger blend is especially good here. Get the dry rubbed wings with buffalo on the side. Come for Rangers games.
Chefs FeedOctober 2, 2015"This is a perfectly executed burger served unexpectedly at a bar. The bun is nicely toasted, the burger is the exact temperature you order it and the condiments are fresh." Chef Mario Carbone Read more
- Brad GaroonJune 25, 2015The traditional pub burger is one of the saltiest pieces of meat I've ever had. The bacon, cheese, and beef were all intense, to the point that I was dehydrated. Read more
Adam TAugust 26, 2014I stick by this place as an amazing quiet gem. The liquor selection is virtually unparalleled, and nothing is more soothing than summer sun streaming through the slats of the blinds at cocktail hour.
Stephen MusgraveJanuary 31, 2015In the overcrowded and obnoxious Greenwich Village scene, this noir spot on the edge of the neighborhood is a moment of civility. Table service, dark features & vintage pane windows add to the appeal.
Megan JohnsonJanuary 25, 2015My favorite bar-y bar. Have loved it since moving to the city. Great place for a beer and a yummy plate of fill-in-the-blank bar food.
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015The place offers diverse and one-of-a-kind cocktail creations, their own beer made especially for the restaurant, and most especially it's vast selection of whiskeys. Read more- Philip ChangDecember 27, 2015Serving the Garbage Plate, the penultimate of bachelor cuisine. You'll have to travel to Rochester for the original, though. Share one with somebody you drink with. The morning after, of course.
Daddy-O is the nicest & most layer back bar in the area. It has a high quality selection of whiskey + the comfort food is awesome - especially the burger w/tater tots & Moroccan chicken sandwich
They are known (for good reason) for their La Frieda burger and tater tots, but their catfish sandwich and bloody mary are both v solid choices
emily chenOctober 19, 2014i prefer this over village tavern because it's less bro-y. they also have an amazing platter of tots. good for late night.
The Corcoran GroupApril 27, 2010Grab a “Cheeseburger Plate” – a plate of fries, mac salad with two cheeseburgers and covered in meat sauce and spicy mustard. Great to eat before going out or while nursing a hangover.
Village VoiceNovember 21, 2013Try the Zu-Lander, which is a specialty cocktail featuring Barrow's Intense Ginger Liquor mixed with blackberry puree, honey syrup, lime juice and vodka.
Brendan LewisAugust 1, 2013Oh man, if you're into d-bag bankers wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers indoors, slamming into you, and bitching because Bloomberg won't let them smoke a cigar inside - THIS IS YOUR BAR!
Food NetworkJanuary 5, 2011A great neighborhood joint for a drink and an excellent dinner, get the Cheeseburger Plate with your favorite beer. – Chef Anne Burrell, host of Worst Cooks in America/Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
Meg DubeJanuary 23, 2016Grilled chicken sandwich cannot be beat. Get it with a side of tots and make great convo with Pamela the bartender.
Find. Eat. Drink.December 4, 2011Grab a burger late at night and try John Fraser's (chef of Dovetail) favorite cocktail "Negroni with Aperol instead of Campari, they serve it in something that feels like a fishbowl.”
Purity Vodka greyhound for the win. Lunch everyday, free wi-fi and plenty of TVs for your sports games. Go Rangers!- Food NetworkAugust 5, 2011The cocktails at Daddy O's in New York, NY are a favorite of Anne Burrell on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. We recommend the Herbacious Mojito.

Possibly the only place in the city that serves Rochester's most famous contribution to haute cuisine, the Garbage Plate. Besides the price difference, a solid take on the original.
Open during the daytime for lunch! Try The Famous Grouse Blood and Sand and work using the free Wi-Fi. Love it here!
Ricky SherrillMarch 30, 2015A great sports bar with very good chicken wings. Also a nice selection of beer.
KrystinaMarch 24, 2013You must get the tattor tots and try the bloody Mary's. best I've ever had. Nice and spicy.- Adam TJuly 5, 2010Go try the house Porter; it's chocolaty-beery goodness in a glass. The top shelf selection is amazing for a bar this size, and the bartenders know their stuff inside-out.
Serious EatsSeptember 15, 2013Neighborhood bar with some good (and some not-so-good) bar food. The kitchen stays open late.
Disappointing Old Fashioned. Weak pour of their standard Jim Beam Black (even though I've asked for a Rye) and too much water/sugar syrup. Other cocktails are great and food is above average for bar.
Rachel HarrisonJanuary 6, 2013Order the Jamie Gordon Tater Tots. They are the best. THIS is the best bar in nyc. Hands down.- Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Mario Carbone, chef of Torrisi Italian Specialties, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Bacon-cheddar burger. Read more
Watermelon martini for the win! I've been coming here for years and Phil never disappoints!
Matt MNovember 4, 2011Watch your drink. Bar backs will snatch it, always. Great joint, good good but staff is annoying. Trained to push drinks and pour nothing more than what you pay for.
My vote for tastiest buffalo chicken wings in the city

Venkatesh KondamSettyMay 5, 2015- Megan JohnsonSeptember 14, 2014Good basic bar, good place to watch football games, they have the sound on.
Graham KimuraJuly 28, 2011Ask Phil for a 360 Dbl Chocolate Balsamic Strawberry Chipotle Martini!! And of course Jamie Gordon style "Tots"!!
Marie NgApril 26, 2013Get the 5 cheese mac and cheese. Amazing. But margaritas felt a bit watered down.
mariam asmarMay 7, 2012Burger burger burger. A not on the menu but fantastic drink: yellow fever, order it.
