Leonardo TrilloAugust 24, 2017If you know the right people Lilly's hosts private events with free drinks! Luckily I know some of the best. Bittersweet, as my first was also my last time partying with the dapper likes of Lilly's!
Beka CNovember 19, 2016Beautiful interior and quiet ambiance. Not your usual trendy crowd but everyone should come here at least once to appreciate the decor. Good for catching up with friends and a neighborhood gem.
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014One of my favorite spots in the city. Great first date spot, great food and this place is just SO pretty during the holidays. Gets very crowded so I wouldn't recommend going with a large group.
Madm FiaJune 6, 2014Beautiful interior. Nice for a drink or two if you can sit closer to the exit. Too busy on the weekends and usually full of after work bankers and the such.
Ruth TupeMay 10, 2017The atmosphere is great for drinks and their cocktail and beer selection is nice. It is a bit loud in there with the music so I wouldn't go with a big group.
M KJune 23, 2015Great food, great atmosphere! Loved the mini Mac and Cheese and truffle fries!! Staff very friendly, a real gem of a place!!
One of my favorite bars! Food and drinks are great. During the week it's a quiet place to go with friends or for a date. Friday nights it's overwhelmingly crowded and the place is too small to enjoy.
Get the half pound burger, you won’t regret it. This place is also really festive during the holidays too, with a fun vibe, just like old school English pubs.
Andrew CSeptember 20, 2019Just as classic and cool as the Times Sq location, but it felt more spacious... maybe not tho -- handful of happy hour specials (til 7p) and great bar food options at all times!!
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 31, 2015Great lunch deals on Mon to Fri 11am-4pm. One dish and a glass of beer combination is $12. Shepherds pie is delicious!!
Mallory 🍟November 2, 2014Two words: Truffle Fries. PS: They serve Moscow Mules in the official copper mugs.
LilySeptember 8, 2014Great for work outings if you work in midtown. They have the trifecta for drinkers: good cocktails, selection of wines, and a bevy of on tap options.
Autumn ChoiApril 11, 2022Really good selection of spirits, cute Victorian atmosphere, unique gin & tonic options
Cali ZimmermanNovember 8, 2014Great night life with the world friendliest staff. It's easy to become a regular. Food is also solid. Pulled pork sliders are a great choice
Jürgen KienerNovember 7, 201318y old whiskey in an tumbler... Poor thing. Other than that: Try the cheesecake! It's delicious. Lightning quick service and good beer. I'll be back!
Rebecca BalnisNovember 20, 2018Craft cocktails, private parties and burlesque. Please and Thank you.
Good spot for a wide selection of beers, seasonal drafts, and cocktails. The bar is quite beautiful in design, friendly staff, too.- Manasi GandotraFebruary 8, 2015They have the best house burger and Mac and cheese!!! Also their cocktail called the Lillie penny is great! Good beer selection too!
Justin ChaseJuly 19, 2011Great Union Square Bar. Perfect for after work hang outs. Great apps such as 1/2 grilled cheese and tomato soup. The organic chicken lunch sandwhich is also phenomenal. Read more
Christina ChinSeptember 3, 2023Place changes themes during the season..alice in wonderland rn, super whimsical and cute for date spot. Got shepherd's pie which was just ok, nothing to write home about
Dustyn WinderJanuary 26, 2018Lunch special of sandwiches (burger included) and salads plus a beer for $13. Best deal around USQ.
Brittany AAugust 31, 2016Avoid the happy hour crowds and take advantage of the lunch specials instead. A great place to work outside of the office (plenty of outlets and wifi).
Karin RendelmanMarch 22, 2011Nachos are huge! Wings are are breaded a lil which I'm not normally into but they have great flavor. Good beer too...if your into that sorta thing and a free glass of wine/beer with Yelp check-in!!
CompassApril 25, 2014Whether you sip on a crisp scotch or a British cocktail, Lillie’s will make you feel right at home in the Victorian-style bar
Tom NohOctober 28, 2014Really good great ambiance good beer selection great place to take friends or a date
- Krissy SpasevskiJanuary 22, 2016The pulled pork sandwich and choose the Parmesan truffle fries! Amazing!
Pahola JulietaMarch 28, 2014Great place, awesome service, stay away from the Crab Cakes. Not good. Mac and cheese is ubbbber cheesy, fries are superbly crunchie :)
NathanMarch 7, 2017The $13 lunch with a drink (beer/wine) is a great way to combat your Monday or get your weekend started early.
The appetizer plate (pick from 3 apps) is a good choice if you just want bites, along with drinks
HenaliMarch 5, 2014Great post-work atmosphere during happy hour. For beer lovers -- try the Vanilla Porter beer!- Nate BeattyMarch 8, 2016Seats in the window are the best in the house. The best parts of bar seats plus people watching
Arnaud RéautéOctober 5, 2014Very nice place. Very retro but it provides charm. Nice choice of food at quite cheap price.
Nicolr PatiglerJanuary 5, 2015Great place for drinks with a friend, if you go after work it will get busy and crowded
Brian ZakrajsekAugust 19, 2013Find a place to lean and hold strong - this place get's PACKED on the weekends and evenings. However, the decor is worth it.
NearSay NYCAugust 2, 2011A classy Irish-Victorian hotspot that mixes location, ambience, tasty grub, and a stellar whiskey menu to form an exceptional megapub!
Dan FetznerDecember 8, 2014The pulled pork fries are life changing. They also have the place done up real nice for Christmas
Come for the Lillie Pennie. Traditionally called a "Moscow Mule" this mix of vodka, ginger beer and lemon served in a copper mug is the best drink they make!
Your first check-in and every 5th check-in gets you a free pint of Lillie's Seasonal beer or glass of their delicious wine.
- A little more calm and spacious in the back but plenty of liveliness all around in here.
Ingrid StenquistApril 14, 2013I did get 2 free drinks out of checking in on both yelp & foursquare here. Kudos to the waitress for allowing that. There are way too many deuches & yuppies on the prowl here for me to really digest.
Great place for lunch with an amazing special that includes an adult beverage.
Beautiful venue with very friendly staff. If you're looking for a nicer place to go for drinks, I highly recommend Lillie's.
Cakes ♡♤◇☆November 3, 2018This place is so cool. But bottomless mimosas I don't think so. Here for an hour had 2 drinks. This bald guy ( manager) dose nothing to help the staff. This place is awesome but need more help.
Brian PNovember 28, 2014Nice, old style bar. Leffe Bruin on tap, a very good & hard to find pleasure.
