Laura RoosJune 26, 2013The Cellar is cozy and perfect for a glass of wine, a few nibblies, and good conversation. All the apps we had were good, and the worlds best Mac and cheese was definitely up there. Nice service, too.
Courtney LewisMay 22, 2016Cheese plates, kale salad and the famous mac and cheese are all my favorites here. Plus they have excellent cocktails! Date worthy spot but good for a pricier happy hour, too.
Ashley RoseApril 1, 2016This spot has been discovered. Happy hour Til 7 on weekdays. To die for mac n cheese and comfy couches. Come while you're waiting for your table at Raines Law Room
BlondEATSDecember 15, 2016Go for the cocktails stay for the mac and cheese! Definitely tops the chart as some of the best in NYC. Special shoutout to the burratta with the honey balsamic glaze 😍
The Corcoran GroupNovember 7, 2013We love the happy hour here, since it features $5 specialty cocktails, $6 glasses of wine, AND $7 mac and cheese (enough for a meal!). Make sure to come early before the place fills up.
Andrew CJuly 9, 2019Amazing lounge/cafe with craft beers and cocktails, plus to-die-for mac n cheese plates!!!! All the cheese is made upstairs in their "factory" and ya can not go wrong with any cheese option
Delicious Mac and cheese. Pork belly isn't anything too special but the mushroom and cauliflower are AMAZING.
KESeptember 30, 2016Busy, errs on the louder side in the evening. great for groups. lighting is dark, decor is stylish. I love the tequila cocktail. Service is 👌. The mac & cheese is very rich; go with the cheese plate!
Kevin GrantNovember 23, 2017I love this place for lunch, never been for dinner. The Patty Melt is spot on. Order one of the mac and cheeses to share with the table (or maybe 2 if you're feeling hungry!)
Melanie BouleyFebruary 3, 2015Just one block from my office, this joint is my happy hour jam. Get the $5 cocktail or the $6 Cabernet with the cheese plate or mac & cheese at $8 a pop and is perfect to split with a friend/date.
One of my favorite spots in NYC! Fantastic option for happy hour in the area or for just grabbing wine and apps and hanging out. Super dark and intimate and sophisticated!
Glenn MondryJanuary 16, 2015How did I not know about this place until recently?!?!? My new place for amazing mac and cheese and specialty drinks. The bartenders really know what they are doing. Great Atmosphere.
Audra A.August 7, 2014Incredible happy hour. The simple salad was a perfect for 3 people to split, and then each had their own Mac and Cheese. That plus a few drinks each... Out the door for $100.
Solid GoldJanuary 11, 2013Drink: players club. The name lets u know it's going to be good. The bartender... I fell in love @hello. Food, I had the steak, Mac & cheese, ppl don't lie. It was divine! I'll come back for all 4 ;)
One of my favorite happy hour spots around. From 5-7 weeknights, house infusion cocktail changes daily and is $5, glass of house red or white wine is $6. Great atmosphere. Service varies.
KaterinaJune 23, 2016Every day from 3 to 7 p.m. at this underground bar, the bartender’s choice cocktail is $5, house wine is $6 and a variety of cheesy snacks are $7 a pop.
Paige CDecember 7, 2017Their lunch menu is delicious. It’s a great spot for a (lunch) meeting because they have free WiFi! Try the tomato soup or the burrata.
Nichole HortonAugust 13, 2015Delicious cheese boards with cheeses made on site. You can also see cheese being made upstairs and can buy everything that you get on the cheeseboard.
İpek A.March 3, 2015One of the best Mac&Cheese... Even better than S'MAC. 3pm-7pm happy hour so you can have -small- mac&cheese & a glass of wine for $14
EvanJanuary 30, 2013Go before 7pm for happy hour specials on drinks. Order the cheesemonger's plate (more variety than the Beecher's); 3 cheeses for a light starter to share, 5 if you mean business.
Rachel KonikMarch 12, 2014This place has such a great vibe, perfect for meeting friends after work. Great cocktails and a more-than-just-bar-food menu that is delicious.
Adam SachsMarch 24, 2012Nice atmosphere and still pretty undiscovered so easy to get a table. Perfect spot for strong drinks and tasty snacks like a cheese plate or brussel sprouts. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Mike McBryanNovember 20, 2014Always packed around Happy Hour, but head over after 7 pm and grab a spot at the bar for wines by the glass and snacks. Great date atmosphere.
Elizabeth HartmannAugust 27, 2016Be sure to steal samples from Beecher's in the shop above before heading to the basement. This place is legendary. I loved how you can feel the train go by just a little!
Leanne ZJune 9, 2017One of my favorite places in NYC. They don't take reservations for happy hour but if you get there early they'll sit you anyway.
MicheleJanuary 10, 2017Happy hour daily from 3-7pm includes $8 mac and cheese, $7 Caesar salads, $8 cheese plates, $5 cocktail special, and $6 house wine.
Colin LeeMay 22, 2016Worlds best mac and cheese is one of the top mac and cheese ive had. Come during happy hour between 5 and 7 pm, weekends also.
Katie LarusseSeptember 3, 2015Awesome cheesmonger's plate (and we come from Paris, so we know our cheeses ;)), great pudding and reeeally good cocktails. Friendly helpful service too!- Paige CDecember 8, 2016Delicious pizzas and mac & cheese! Wonderful staff. Love watching the cheese being made on the main floor!
justen fMay 5, 2014The mushroom tart is everything I want in life. Just to come home to a nice, warm mushroom tart at night... what more do you need.
Leah HammerschlagMarch 2, 2015Loved the cauliflower Mac n cheese & the mushroom torte (though I wish there had been more crust). Wasn't so impressed w the veg gratin.
Victoria DimJanuary 14, 2015They make cheese right in the middle of Manhattan! Crab Mac&cheese is ridiculously great.
- DoubleDeuceAugust 27, 2017A little bit darker as you come downstairs so it's a little more charming. It's also usually busier than the upstairs.
Mike NickersonApril 12, 2017Good luck getting a reservation here. Tasty food, must get the charcuterie and cheese boards to share!
Stina P.June 26, 2017great happy hour til 7! awesome food and easy to get a table - they also serve gose 🙌🏻
markus gerdemannApril 8, 2016The Kale or cauliflower mac&cheese are fantastic! It can get quite crowded down there and tables are small.
Thomas DalyJanuary 13, 2014The patty melt, should be renamed to "The Mind Melt" -- AMAZING. The space downstairs at the cellar is super chill.
Brittany BeisnerDecember 11, 2019Great, cozy vibe for a rainy evening in New York. Good for small groups and small bites!
Nathan SampimonSeptember 28, 2014Restaurant under a cheese shop? Ordering something cheesy is the right choice here. All the Mac options are great
All the mac and cheese is phenomenal but don't miss out on the flatbreads and ever wonderful entrees.- Lily FAugust 23, 2015Mac and cheese is obviously great but all the grilled cheeses are too and the tomato soup is to die for!!
Jodi MarquezJanuary 11, 2015Best Mac and cheese! Amazing. Order the classic and also the one with kale -mamas lil chili peppers!!!
Christen ClinkscalesFebruary 18, 2015Get mac and cheese. Any of them. I particularly like the curried cauliflower version. Amazing!
