Nicolle KeoghDecember 28, 2012Their golden radio is tasty, and I know this is NYC, but be prepared to pay $12 for a drink that is only filled this high.
French onion soup grilled cheese. Au jus! Le bomb! Sooo much better than Kraft singles on wonder.
Lovely place, phenomenal chicken sandwich. Great bartenders.
They staff is just the friendliest in the neighborhood! Great group of people!!!
- Great quality cocktail bar. More casual than your typical place of this caliber.
Kelsey KotzebueSeptember 13, 2016Local bar, young crowd, & great ambiance. Pretty decently priced as well.
Matt KDecember 2, 2012Cool place & atmosphere, try one of daily slushies. If u don't mind smell if pork fat, stat longer than one drink
Kathleen CorlessMay 29, 2015The crab dip rocks as does the laid back bartender and whatever slushy is on tap
Sara YAugust 24, 2016Saturday night loud but fun. Decent cocktail options and nice if you get a window seat.
Kira Garvin LermanJuly 27, 2014Homemade ginger beer= one of the best dark and stormys I've ever had!
Jessie ChenApril 27, 2015Gets crowded after work and you might have a hard time ordering the exact drink you want.
Get whatever concoction is swirling in the slushie machine. Yes, I know a slushie machine in a bar is highly suspect but believe you me, this ain't no cherry + coke 7/11 bullshit.
French onion grilled cheese, duckwings, crab dip, and the Cocktails.
Derek T. KuSeptember 15, 2015Not the best place to grab a seat spontaneous. Definitely plan to come ahead of time.
Brian O'ShaughnessyJanuary 19, 2014Best place in five block radius for pickle backs and observing hipster make out sessions.
Bar food here is astoundingly good. Hands down the Best burger in Nolita!
Kitchen is open until 3:45am every night. Don’t bother lining up at Prince St Pizza
Sheila MarikarSeptember 9, 2013The fried chicken sandwich is like biting into the boardwalk in the best of ways.
If you're not getting a slushy and the French onion soup grilled cheese you're doing it wrong.
The Blonde GourmandJuly 4, 2012They make cocktails based off what's in season, not a set list of drinks! Also love the sunny window seats here.
The BEC sandwich is a solid brunch choice. Thick cut bacon, fried egg and a little spicy kick.
Interesting cocktails, great vibe, and awesome bartenders
Slushy, French onion grilled cheese, bespoke cocktails, good vibes
Meaghan SmithNovember 23, 2014Bitchin' brunch doesn't lie. Food was great and the cocktails were on point!
Get the french onion soup-grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Dont ask any questions. This order is good for two.
Serious drinks, expertly made - and served without pretension. Also, hot toddies. And a sick soundtrack. Your new home away from home?
@JaumePrimeroOctober 14, 2013Kick ass cocktail menu, leads to multiple drinks and ultimate ruin. And yet I keep going back.
That slushy drink from the machine tastes like a creamsicle.
Get the slushie. Sit in a window booth if you can.
