“Came here on a Tuesday evening and I strongly suggest visiting this establishment! It boasts a charming and comfortable atmosphere, good music and great with attentive staff providing excellent customer service. I highly advise making a reservation; we arrived to find it empty, but within five minutes, it was bustling with people.“

“I love this Craft Beer and Burgers but this place is amazing is like you were in Disneyland roller coaster of flavors and I’m very thankful to my Server Kendra L. Briggs to take care any time and how she’s rolling this place from the beginning to the end great food experience and service as well!!!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I wish we lived in Manhattan so we could go there every week! Paneer tikka masala!!!!! I found it extremely enjoyable ! The garlic naan - could've used a bit more garlic. Service was great Dimly lit - perfect for an intimate get together.“

“Milk & Hops is definitely worth checking out, great selection of draft and craft beers along with some small bites. Two different sides of the bar: great atmosphere to watch sporting events on one end and the cocktail lounge on the other side.“

“Staff was very friendly. Service was quick, but you don’t feel rushed out“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Gorgeous restaurant/bar located in the Virgin Hotel. It’s bright and delightful. There’s a great happy hour menu each evening, cocktails are well made. The restaurant does breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner I believe. I had a lovely breakfast here, it was on the pricier side ($9 for two small pieces of bacon) but it was a delightful meal with wonderful service. A wonderful addition to such a fantastic new hotel.“

“Greywind was, for us, everything its reputation anticipated. A lively and comfortable place with very attentive servers. Our waiter, Rob, was both incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly funny the entire night! Plus, we had a birthday in our party and the chocolate writing is quite possibly the most precise and beautiful food writing I have witnessed. I think it speaks somewhat to the expertise in their kitchen.“

“(Brit abroad here)Lovely little bolt hole pub. Happy hour is true to its name, good strength beer/cocktails at wallet pleasing pricing.The atmosphere was lively, but In the good way!Highly recommend for a quality pint or two....or three +a dark and stormy“

“An absolut great Pub near our Hotel with an excellent and kindly service! Tasty beer in Pitchers, nice atmosphere. This will be the favorit pub by our next trip to NYC :)“

“Proletariat is my new favorite place! What an original beer menu and ALL TASTE GREAT! The service is spectacular and the atmosphere is supercool, laid back, and inviting with your choices between darker/lighter/private/communal nooks and crannies all around. The B burger and fries were fantastic, as were the peppers! This place rocks my world and I'm already planning another rendezvous there soon.“

“one of the best dining experiences in nyc. huge shoutout to our server, Alejandro. we had a big group with very different preferences; he guided us through the menu and drinks, everyone was thrilled with what they got. outstanding service! can’t say enough about sushi and beer selection. just in awe!“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“It's a beautiful hotel and the staff are really great. I felt the rooms were a little small though and lacked some storage space, although I appreciate that it's New York and that's kinda the style the hotel is going for. The coffee shop and the bar are great amenities to visit and make use of.The doors are really thin though and you can hear everything that's going on in the corridor. The walls aren't quite as thin but we could hear an argument that kicked off in the room next door.On balance I would recommend it since it is pretty well located.“

“Phenomenal flavor. I’m very picky when it comes to craft beers and the four I picked were all so great and flavorful. The sours and IPAs are best in class. They have a great selection and the bar tender was very friendly and talkative. Bolero Snot Brewery is my new go to brewery for strong and fun beers.“

“Highly recommend this neighborhood jaunt (does not at all feel like you’re blocks from Times Square). Beer is great, food great, and vibes are immaculate. We greatly enjoyed the bratwurst and chicken sandwich and hope to return again soon. The staff were also class acts.“

“The burger was delicious and they have a good beer selection.“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“I really enjoy this place. It’s a little bit difficult to get service sometimes cause it gets really busy but it’s a really cool place to go for happy hour after work. Plus they have happy hour till 8 PM with two dollars off like many of their drinks and eight dollar drinks. It’s a great space to come with work, friends, and plenty of room to enjoy.“

“I'm hesitant to leave a good review because I don't want this place to blow up. It's honestly shocking to walk into a bar anywhere in NYC on a Friday night and not be crammed in like sardines while music plays obnoxiously loud.I don't know how they do it but Antler is a chill low key spot with a pretty big space in the back for small/medium sized groups. The prices are also incredible.“

“Great selection of canned beer and cool ciders. Taps are limited but fresh.“

“Had a riot ‘ music was fantastic and ton of fun. Everything we wanted in a piano bar“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“On yesterday Sat 6, 2024 evening time. One of your night front desk employee last name Williams, he is awesome!! He had shown me around front lobby of hotel and given me run down what all services hotel has to offer. He also taken me up stairs to rooftop bar. Great bar tenders and the drinks was awesome. Mr. Williams thank you for your hard work you put in at hotel and to be face of it.“

“My friends & I went to Vinoteca last week and had such a wonderful time. The wine is very refreshing & delicious!! I love the fact that it’s self-served. To top it off, the food was out of this world!!! The staff was very kind & attentive and I would recommend Vinoteca to all, but, most importantly to all the wine lovers. You would soon make this your to go to place. We had such a great time last week, we will be doing it again this weekend. Come along, hopefully I’ll see you there!!“

“This little hole in the wall is rad! Best chai latte I’ve had in a long time. It feel exactly like a real NYC coffee shop!They even hired some old character to pretend he’s the owner and walk around greeting people and engaging them in conversation. Well played!Try the banana bread. ¡Muy delicioso!“

“I went to Lela bar late on Thursday night and Julie helped us. She was very knowledgeable and helped us find a wine that was delicious! If you have any questions or want to learn more about wine and still get a great bottle in your price range ask for Julie! Cannot wait to go back next week : )“

“Food here catches you off guard. Usually, when I see a beautiful bar, I don’t expect the food to be top tier. I’ve had lunch and dinner here before and everything is delicious. Manny, the manager, is great with engaging with the customers. Get the steak with truffle parm fries! You will not regret it.“

“I came for the Orval. I used to live in Brussels and that's all I drank over there. It tasted perfectly and they even used a proper Orval glass. The bartenders were nice and attentive. The overall decor and atmosphere of the place even reminded me of a few places in Brussels. My only gripe (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), is the price of the Orval. It will cost you 15 plus tip. That's steep. And yes, I know it's NYC, but still quite pricey. If it were cheaper, you'd see me once a week!“

“This bar has a cosy feel. The snug bar area and then surrounding tables for groups. The beers are great. The food is spot on. The staff are warm, welcoming and chatty.“

“Great spot for an outstanding burger! I've been twice and each time, the burger has been juicy and perfectly cooked; a nice change of pace from the hockey puck smash burger trend that has been taking the city by storm! They use high quality, super fresh ingredients, which both times left me feeling energized, and not in a food coma, like so many other burger spots. Tommy, the owner, is attentive and kind, and has really fun music playing at all times, and then usually some sort of sports game on the high definition TVs behind the bar.“

“What’s to Share. Claire and Nikki and Cahir are rockstars. Foods is good, service is the best I’ve seen next to me pouring rockstars to those who want to drink. If only you could See my shoulders wiggle and rock right now, you’d get it If you don’t go get you don’t know how to live.“

“We arrived right at 11am when they opened and had no problem getting seated. It was a great vibe, once inside really quite a fun place for brunch! Came here for the tots and bec, it was really really good! The plain tots were so crispy and I felt like were truly so delish! The BEC had a great thick sweet and salt bacon slice. The eggs were seasoned perfectly on a home made brioche roll couldn't ask for much more! Would come back!“

“great brewery, with even better beer. i wish i lived closer. however, the staff is nice, and the venue is really fun art. they also seem to do a lot of local and fun events. the flights are a steep $19, i am not sure about single pours. parking is a shit show outside unless you pay for a commuter lot, which was $4 for the whole day on a saturday.looking forward to coming back!“

“What a great little find on our adventures across NYC. Only stopped in here for a quick drink on our way home but the Guinness, wine and friendly service was so great we stayed for a couple more and something to eat. The Jack Daniels burger was delicious and I'd return just to eat that again!“

“Always nice to grab a small bite and glass of great wine here.Limited cocktails/hard liquor but their wine is really great.Enjoyable atmosphere. Music is never too loud but it’s also not too romantic. Good for friends, coworkers, or even a more casual date.“

“Came here on a Thursday and there was a cool beer selling competition going on between two differing brewing companies! They have really cool games and the place has a relaxed atmosphere. Very LGBTQ+ friendly, down to earth, no frills place that gave off really good vibes. I’d recommend to anybody! (And I don’t even like beer)“

“A fun little place with a fantastic selection of local beers and more. They have individual bottles of basically every beer they sell so you can mix a six pack and try a lot of tasty and unique brews. Skeeball machine in the back was a nice treat and they had oversized connect four for the kids to play with too.Kid-friendliness: Not a usual bar atmosphere, there were games and a skeeball machine to keep kids and grown-ups occupied during the visit.“

“Wow I am in awe by this hidden gem. I came for coffee at 5:00pm but they were about to close (6pm) so I asked the receptionist if I can pass into the bar and it just recently open. I loved the menu! I instead had a glass of Cava (Sparkling Wine from Spain) and the wine selection is ok but the tapas menu was absolutely a surprise. The service was great and friend joined me and she requested a mocktail and to my surprise they had a couple of them available I wish I could’ve asked because it looked absolutely delicious and my friend indeed confirmed it was. PCT “Pan con Tomate” ( Spanish Tapa Breas with Tomatoes) was delicious along with the olives and Patatas Bravas! I will recommend this place.“

“If you're looking for a spot that's effortlessly cool and quintessentially NYC, look no further than this gem. Tucked away in a cozy corner, it's small but smartly designed, with just the right touch of outdoor seating to soak up the city vibes. The draft beer selection is top-notch, and they've got some decent wine options too if that's your thing. Oh, and did I mention the free popcorn? Spicy and freshly popped, it's the perfect munch to complement your drink. Service here is on point - they let me sample a few beers before I made my choice. Ended up with a sour IPA from a Hudson Valley brewery, which was just the ticket for a sunny spring day in the city. Cheers to that!“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Service and selection was great. Beer tenders had great recommendations and I got to experience some great breweries I would've never guessed to try. Only issue is the music. I felt like I was drinking at an h&m at an upstate mall. Truly agonizing. I've come back on different occasions hoping I'd get a different playlist but apparently the beer tenders have no control over it. Please change this and I think everyone would have a better time.“

“We wanted a cosy bar with great food after our flight from the UK. The Elgin did not disappoint! Everything from the food and drink to the service and the atmosphere was just fab! if I lived in NY this would possibly be my happy place“

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and a very nice friendly atmosphere.“

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“I recently visited a craft beer bar that really stood out for its selection of cans and bottles. Their array of choices caters to all sorts of craft beer aficionados. A personal highlight was the Hop Butcher on tap. The service here deserves mention - not only were the staff friendly, but also knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Additionally, the glasses provided for the beer were perfect, enhancing the drinking experience. This bar is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good craft beer.“

“Awesome bar, great atmosphere, great music, and great prices. The owner is hot also! A must visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“signature dishes, great staff and recommendations. unique food presentations . desert was amazing. Ziff blend everything start to finish. Great job to Chef!“
