“I've been wanting to try this place for months and made time on this trip. Beautiful bar with an inviting and helpful staff. It was a Monday afternoon, so not too busy. The selection of beer was really good with a solid HH (perfect if you want to try a more expensive brew).“
“I hosted 25 people here, in the back patio, and Avoca was fantastic. So accommodating, allowed everyone to have separate tabs, got the heaters out, and lent us speakers (it was a trivia night). The food and drinks are excellent (get the truffle fries and the Smokey Oaxaca cocktail!), and the service truly could not have been better. The vibe inside is swanky but chill, cozy and also a little fancy, not like a pub. Avoca is definitely one of my fave UES bars and restaurants.“
“Great local. I've been coming here for years and never bothered to leave a review, but had such a great time through it seemed worth it. Food is stellar and diverse, beer selection always has what I want, and staff is engaging, cheeky, and make you feel welcome. Recommend anyone in the area stop by.“
“Our group (BKForge: Brooklyn for Reproductive and Gender Equity) recently held an event at Finback's Brooklyn location. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we did not rent dedicated space — but Finback still set aside an alcove just for us, gave us lots of support both before and during the event, and overall made us feel very welcome. Coordinating ahead of time was very smooth, and all our questions were answered right away. Attendees at our event also remarked on how much they enjoyed coming to this spot. We definitely plan to come back in the future!“
“Some people “get it “ and some people don’t . If you want to run a bar in NYC you need to “get it “ This is the perfect bar for the space and you, like I, will love this place . And if you know me you will get a giggle as it’s owned by a Dublin guy named Nick who runs Marathons . Ahem ?“
“As someone from NJ who doesn't know the area and needing somewhere to "hang out" for several hours, I read the reviews here and I can attest to their being "on the money." TeeDee's is welcoming and a place where everyone "knows your name", if you want them to. The drinks were just like I like them and prices are very reasonable. I wish it was closer to home and I'll be back when in the area!! Go and visit!!“
“Overall rating: 4.9This place is underrated. Love the low key, chill energy in LES. No frills, which is my middle name. The drinks are STRONG, in the best possible way. I didn’t experience any karaoke, but I think I was there too early in the night. Went around 8 on a Saturday.Definitely want to go again if I’m looking for a nightcap or just a chill place in the area.“
“I am a pescatarian. Their fish tacos are good. The other options are very... Rugged and organic? I want to like their home made veggie burger, but it falls apart and is a bit dry.But I am picky about homemade veggie burgers. It seems we have been making them long enough to not crumble and stick to the roof of our mouths.And the nachos are also dry somehow.But the atmosphere brings me back every time. The live music has ALWAYS been amazing, the wait staff and bartenders are professional and welcoming.Fox and Crow is one of those places I will always return“
“Met Rob. He took me under his wing and gave me some history on the place. Family run. Super cool place with great beer selection. I feel like these type of vintage historic places are in fast decline. Thankfully this one is still around. Can’t wait to come back.“
“Did a solo trip in NYC this weekend. Stopped at the Empire State Building and just started walking in hopes of finding somewhere cool. Heard cheers and laughter coming from this place so I decided to come check it out: it was more than I was hoping for! The atmosphere was so fun, bartenders were BUSY but attentive to me, music playlist was fabulous & I loved scream singing with the crowd :) definitely check this spot out, I wish I lived in NYC cause that would be my spot without a doubt!!! :)“
“Solid bar that has an incredible draft list and reasonably priced drinks. They also have some pretty interesting "shots", such as a pickled herring and vodka, mushroom and vodka, etc. I ended up getting two of the herring and vodka because I surprised by how much I actually liked it! Def do yourself a service and try it. It's cozy and dark inside, but has outside seating in front of the bar. Bartender was also super friendly. Would go back again!“
“Such a fun quirky space with a great teeny tiny music/comedy venue. But the drink was pretty bad- definitely would not recommend the hot toddy at all. I’d go back for another Side Salad Comedy show but skip the hot toddy. It was basically just hot water with bourbon- you could not taste the spices nor citrus at all.“
“We had been told of this bar before our trip to NY. We called in and the place was packed. We got a table quick enough. We enjoyed the atmosphere and it was a great way to meet people. We enjoyed the banter with the staff. The drink was served up quick and we got food as well. We highly enjoyed it and would go again when over.“
“After hearing about Keens was a must try it night. Got there at 4ish and was seated immediately. Had the oysters Rockefeller which were very good. Caesar salad fresh but a bit too much dressing followed by an outstanding porter house which was cooked perfectly medium rare, accompanied by a nice baked potato. Dessert was the crème brûlée delicious. Our waiter Milton was very good and service excellent. Everyone in the restaurant were very friendly. Definitely will return but would probably recommend reservations, we went early but by 6pm pretty full.“
“Eugene and Will are the best bartenders in the city! I couldn’t recommend anywhere else for better Guinness, live music, and the craic! Eugene has a special talent for pouring the perfect pint of Guinness. Call in if you’re ever in the mood for a pint and Irish trad music!“
“Full marks across the board, everything on the extensive menu is great with the Irish mixed grill and the salmon being my favorites. The portions are huge the servers are all terrific and in the evenings and weekends there is always a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to all food lovers and double recommend it to those on a budget“
“Omg. We went to ikea and wanted to have lunch in the area. Let me say.. this is one of my top 10 restaurants, and I've traveled the world.The food is f-in amazing! Staff is awesome. If I lived close.. I would be a regular!!Keep doing what you are doing!!“
“Best bar in FiDi! The bartenders are super friendly and pored so much wine for me and the Guinness is on point (can’t try Guinness anywhere else but here), no Rudy customers like other bars in FiDi, and just shocked at how reasonable it is! (Independent family run). Have to come back for their food!“
“Great Irish pub with friendly staff and delicious food. They pay attention to the details like matching the branded glasses with the right beers. Service was very quick even though it was wall to wall busy since it’s a popular place. If you’re lucky you’ll get to meet Maggie herself!“
“Organized a surprise engagement party at The Winslow and service was spectacular.My fiancée and I both love gin and had a remarkable experience.As a former NYC server and bartender myself, I’m confident in saying the customer service in planning, with Emma and Catarina, and in person day of, with Maya and Joe, was impeccable and some of the best in the city.Great gin drinks and food and a lovely ambience. Would highly recommend for any events or evenings out in Manhattan.“
“The apps and entree are terrific!!Mike, the bartender, knows his stuff and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!@Parking: The parking lot is small but lots of street parking is available. But who cares the drinks, bartender, and food are terrific!!“
“A local watering hole you might even call a dive. Tons of space inside the dimly lit and dark wood bar. Friendly service and fair pricing.Cute patio out back, but nearly unusable in summer as it's also where all their AC condensing units are. Making it hotter/noisier than you'd expect.“
“This bar has a number of amenities that make it stand out like indoor bocchi and a comedy hall downstairs. There's even a library.However, these come at the expense of seating. I came here on a Saturday night and couldn't find anywhere to sit. I just had to stand for a bit and spy out a chair as soon as I could grab it.Their beer selection is alright, though lacking in a broader variety that would help it stand out.“
“Love this place! The drink selection is great; the first time I came we got a beer flight with 4 different kinds and this time we got mulled wine. Food is also good, we have gotten the pretzels and tater tots and they were the perfect snack to subside us. Vibes are great, music is awesome, not too crowded and so much space to play a card game or two. Once the football game was over they put Bob Ross on the tv“
“The weather turned nice, so popped over to Cork City for a beer one Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago and luckily managed to snag one of their outside tables. The atmosphere is perfect; lowkey and chil. They are dog friendly (inside and outside) and more importantly - they have a huge selection of craft beers that are organized by style so it's easy to find something you'll like!“
“the friendly neighborhood pub you imagine from TV shows. the staff are super friendly and welcoming. we always have a good time enjoying a drink and laughs. there are darts and pool in the back, too! can’t recommend highly enough for get togethers small and large.“
“This is my kind of bar. No gimmicks, no frills, and no nonsense.If you're looking for a place to dance or play pool, this place isn't for you. If you're looking for a place to have a beer and some good conversations with strangers, then you should swing by.Probably the fairest priced beer in the area.“
“Definitely highly recommended!Very friendly and a pleasant atmosphere.The food was very good and "spicy" ;)Special credits to Christopher and the new employee JeffThey helped us with the choice stress.In the netherlands we say: Dankjewel toppers!Greetings from Urk (Netherlands) ?“
“It is a sports pub. No food, cash only and rugged. But I was a single woman that wanted to read my book, be on my phone and watch the hockey game. Not only did Kathy and Caesar allow me to do so, they were kind, conversational and lovely. It is what it advertises and I can't wait to Go back again. Apparently there is good pizza next door that they let you bring in, but the drinks are reasonable and the patrons are delightful. Cannot recommend highly enough if you want something laid back to watch the game.“
“This might be one the best bar experiences I have had. The lighting was perfect amount, not too dark or bright. The music wasn't loud, perfect ambience. The service was quick and friendly. Shoutout to Tim, the owner for checking in on us without even being asked. I personally loved the flatbreads, and spinach dip. And if you aren't drinking, the mango mule mocktail will make your whole night! 10/10 will come back and again and bring friends here.“
“Long standing local pub in the heart of bayridge! its got the tin ceiling still! it's one of those locals hang out pub, there's back room accomondates larger party, they also have a dart board, juke box! I usually go there for beer, it can get crowded depending on the night. they have few drafts and a cider. Bartenders are friendly and quick to serve!“
“The entire vibe of the place was great. It's an Irish pub, I think. Everyone there was friendly and very accommodating. The food was phenomenal. The burgers were so good. Definitely recommend this place to anyone trying new burger spots.“
“I have been going to one bar or another for over 50 (!) years, but my search for the best bar has ended. Deacon Brodie's is small, dark, beautifully decorated, and employs the three best bartenders I have yet to encounter (particularly Chris). While you can't get food here, you can get expertly mixed cocktails using the finest quality garnishments and an ever changing choice of beer. Two freshly refurbished bathrooms as well. A terrific place to hang out.“
“I’m so happy today For the first time, I got the same spicy chicken feet from the idol drama ~ Another happy ☺️ contented day ~ The chicken feet are soft and tasty, and the assistant and I had a great time chewing them ~Beef Ribs and Vermicelli Soup ? Full of flavor, it feels so warm in New York City below zero after drinking itThe meat has no peculiar smell, and the vermicelli in the rice porridge is so goodKimchi soup! ️There is actually a whole kimchi inside, so satisfying~ This kimchi is a bit sweet and slightly sour, but it goes well with rice~~Fried chicken ? Oh my god ? Who believes this is only half the portion, so many of us can’t finish it, it’s a huge piece ~Curry pork chop? and army pot, ?order?order~ It’s delicious, but it didn’t particularly surprise us. Hee hee. The portions of Korean food in this restaurant are very large. It’s a great time to have dinner with good friends??“
“Proper pints & delicious food; centrally located, & very clean inside & friendly staff. Their chipotle Caesar salad is off the hook, & their Buffalo wings are also on point. There is no shortage of good places to eat around here, but when I am in the area again, this is def where I'm going. Damn - just thinking about how good my lunch was here is making me hungry !“
“I've been to several happy hours at Daly's and have always enjoyed it. There are definitely many regulars who come here but I've always felt welcome as an occasional. There's a nice outdoor area that is great for pleasant weather. Plenty of tvs to watch the games too.“
“I’ve been throughout the years and have experienced the owner transitions of this wonderful establishment. Every evolution the ale house has gone through has always been so positive. I can’t think of anything wrong with each new owner as I know they all want different preferences and experience. The new owners that took over in the beginning of 2023 are amazing! Elevated pub fare and such a cozy environment. Having a bad day? Come to park slope ale house. You won’t regret it.“
“With lots of options in the area, this popped up and I'm glad we stopped in. Ambiance is elevated dive bar? Lots of board games in the back. High tops in front and a large bench with stools in the back. College age kids and young adults. We only had drinks so can't comment on food. Drinks were very affordable and cocktails were standard. Nothing special. And definitely not speakeasy level. Service was a bit confusing and it looked like they were short staffed. There looked like only one person managing the tables so we weren't served and had to go to the bar. So in that sense service could be improved but we didn't mind going to the bar and getting our own drinks. Overall, good place to grab a drink with friends in a laid back environment.“
“Moot is a great neighborhood bar. To me, the Wednesday trivia is perfectly calibrated by the host, Josh. The bartender, Chaz, has been there 10 years and is an efficient pro and a good guy to trade war stories with. A pint is $7-$8. What more do you want in a bar?“
“A very friendly and cozy neighborhood pub with a Scottish flair! Be sure to eat as well as drink the carefully curated food and drink selections and don't neglect the desserts. The small menu features many surprising delights including vegetable haggis, authentic Scottish fish-and-chips, sourdough grilled cheese and tomato bisque among other fine touches. Happy hour incentives include reduced prices on beer; late-night incentives include trivia, music and other regular events.Vegetarian options: Try the vegetable haggis!“
“I've been coming to the Quays for over 10 years, and it just keeps getting better. Every time you come, it's like a family get-together. The owner is amazing, staff is great, and the regulars, well, they just make the place. If you're in Astoria, definitely pop in. You're in for a great time!“
“Happened to come across this place our last night in NYC as we were wandering back to the apartment. We caught the free live comedy show in the basement (happens every Thursday), which was fun. The venue only seats 15 people or so, so the comics interact with you quite a bit.“
“Cool places. I'm into local dive bars and that's exactly what this place is but everyone there was pretty nice. The bartender Hector is a good buy and pretty funny as well. I will definitely go back to this bar when I am in the area. I definitely recommend it.“
“Could not be happier at the amazing time we had for my son’s birthday at The Globe! James, Megan and Jen were all so helpful, we had the private area (off to the side) to ourselves and everyone had the best time! Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic!!! Can’t wait to have our next event there!“
“Just discovered this nice bar by Sunnyside and it’s an awesome one! I went with a friend for drinks on Saturday night and the place does not get too crowded, the drinks are delicious (will have to try their food) and the atmosphere is great overall.“
“Nice place.. right up the blocks from where my grandma live. Our waitress was nice and quirky, good vibes.The food was good, but was overhyped on tiktok. The hot fried thigh is dumb good w/ sweet potato fries!! Lemonade was fine. The dorito quesadillas was by far the best thing that we’ve gotten off the menu omg 11/10 yummmyyy.The bathroom was dark and the toilet barely worked.. but good for the halloween time ig ! overall 8.7/10 good place !“
“My wife and I were sailing out of New York on October 23rd. We always stay at a local hotel the night before. I did a Google search for a small local Italian restaurant nearby and stumbled on Cavalino's. I made reservations not knowing how crowded Sunday night would be. What a great find. We walked in and didn't even give our name and we were seated immediately. it quickly became evident that Marcelo was the maitre d, waiter, bar tender, busser and chef. What a guy who did it all and made you feel welcome. The food was outstanding and I dine in a lot of Italian restaurants. It was one of the best dining experiences in long time. When I paid our bill I looked for Marcelo only to find him in the kitchen working away. I congratulated him on such a great meal saying I wish we lived closer. He informed me that they may be closing and said maybe we will meet again somewhere else because you never know what life brings your way. Hopefully he continues on in his craft. Thank you Marcelo and staff for a great dining experience.“
“Overall this place was a 4 stars. The food ranged from 3.5 to 4 depending on the items that we had. Limited beer options. They do not have draft beer and only bottle and not many options at all.The noddle with soup they give you on the house was pretty yum.We had the garlic fried chicken which had an excellent garlic flavor but the chicken itself was disappointing. It was very crispy but there was barely any meat! Bunch of breading with tiny measly pieces of chicken! What was that?! We ate a bunch of just fried dough.We also had the rolled egg omelette and that was pretty decent. We also had the chicken, beef and the shrimp skewers. All were pretty good but a bit pricy for the little skewers that you get.Now onto the vibe, spacious and not overly crowded with music that is not too loud. Service was friendly.Overall a solid spot. I wouldn't mind coming here again“
“Feeney’s pub is a home away from home good ppl and great bartender’s always have good experiences. I have had my birthday’s there a few times and also thrown few party there and it’s always a great experience with great ppl so I will recommend Feeneys for any occasions you have“
“Went in for a drink on a Thursday around 4 pm before meeting some people nearby. Had a GREAT pint of Guiness! I could tell that the people there were local. Heard some great Irish accents! Though I didn't interact, I could tell it would be a place that had great craic!“
