“We couldn’t be happier with our choice to host the after party for our wedding at Side Hustle. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive—and quick at the bar!—making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

The space itself is very stylish and inviting, and we really appreciated how the team checked in with us throughout the night, even asking if we liked the music and if there was anything else we needed.

We also worked with them to offer two drink options for our guests to choose from as a first round, which was a hit and made the start of the night feel extra special.

If you're looking for a bar for a special event, Side Hustle is a great choice! They’re easy to work with, the space is perfect for a lively celebration, and the service is top-notch. Thanks for making our after party a blast!“

The ambiance was awesome and I want to make a special note to the following team members who made the visit truly pleasurable. From “Nancy” the bartender to both servers “Ally and Natalie”. They made the experience really enjoyable and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back and seeing them all again!

Definitely recommend the Sunday Brunch, but I’d honestly love to meet the chef / kitchen staff because they in conjunction with the awesome bartenders & servers really make this place come alive!!

“Cool spot for drinks, food, and fun and was a welcomed break from the Times Square chaos. I had the hanger steak and a local beer. The food was portioned well and cooked perfectly. We watched football games and there were plenty of kids options too.

Parking: Walk or take an Uber/Lyft. There's curb parking but it's a busy area.

Kid-friendliness: Quesadilla, grilled cheese, burgers, fries, etc.“

“Lively sports bar with good service and polite staff. The prices are affordable, making it a great spot to hang out. They also have a speakeasy downstairs, where I attended a private event. It’s a pretty cool space with an exposed original brick ceiling, adding to the charm.

Kid-friendliness: No“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent staff! Best night in New York! Thank you Dominic and all the staff.“

“looked up soup and the bronx and this is where google took me. I should stop listening to google but I can’t help it. this little voice in my head saying “be an individual, be an individual,” yet i turn my head and say no imma look it up on google this pocked sized friend inside of my phone. how convenient. I didn’t end up eating the soup bc I burnt my tongue but it smelled like asparagus and hazel nut squash (which is what i asked for) so considering that 5/5!!!“

“They say it’s all about service . True. But when great service delivers delicious fresh and tasty food - unique dishes with great flavors then you really have a winner.
And then the drinks- full bar and they are not afraid to pour.
Will definitely come back.
Hospitality is still live and well at Side Door.“

“I came here to get drinks with friends and it was a great vibe! The inside of the pocha spot is dim and lively, with lots of big groups drinking together and enjoying food. Here, the menu is by QR code and you order with staff.

My friends got one of their soups, grilled pork belly, and fried chicken. Everything was a good portion, good quality, and flavorful. A great vibe to drink and eat with friends, and I would love to come back to try their soju bingsoo!“

“A ideal quiet spot in Midtown East in the late afternoon, probably the only one with all the construction going on Lexington Avenue outside, for a cordial business meeting for coffee or a glass of wine, with very welcomng and professional waiters.“

“This is a review of the 'Pop-up' brunch by Trestoria at Snowdonia.
I had the Prix Fixe 60 minute bottomless brunch cocktail, starter and main for $42, yes $42, incredible value for money, top notch service, friendly atmosphere and great location.
Highly recommended!“

“The District, located at 1679 3rd Ave in the heart of Yorkville, offers a lively and enjoyable experience with just a few areas that could use some improvement.

Atmosphere & Ambiance: One of the standout features of The District is its vibrant and energetic atmosphere. It’s a fantastic place to unwind, meet up with friends, and enjoy a night out. The decor is modern yet cozy, making it a versatile spot for both casual drinks and more festive gatherings​

Food & Drinks: The menu at The District is well-crafted, with several crowd-pleasers that keep patrons coming back. The chicken pesto sandwich and the variety of bar snacks are consistently praised, and the drink selection is broad enough to satisfy most tastes. Whether you’re in the mood for a craft beer, a cocktail, or just a good old-fashioned glass of wine, The District has you covered

Service: While the staff is generally friendly and welcoming, service can sometimes be a bit slow, particularly during peak hours. This minor hiccup doesn’t overshadow the overall experience, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re in a hurry or prefer prompt attention

Overall Experience: The District earns its four stars for being a reliable, fun spot in Yorkville with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. While there’s room for improvement in terms of service speed during busy times, it remains a solid choice for a night out in the city. If you’re looking for a lively environment with good eats, The District is definitely worth a visit.“

“Excellent food, great service and staff and very nice atmosphere.“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“Judge Roy Bean Public House is a decent spot for a beer. They have a pretty large menu for both taps and bottles / cans. The service is solid. There is decent seating for groups of 2 and 4, with a handful of larger spots (e.g., a table along a wall with 5 bar stools), as well as a very long bar. Prices are fine for NYC and it can be packed but most of the time isn't too bad.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“Came here on a Friday night recently with 20 of my friends to celebrate my 40th birthday. I got in touch with the bar's event coordinator in advance to make sure we had a space for all of us. We didn't have a minimum to meet, and the coordinator was super responsive to make sure we had everything we wanted. The vibe was incredible. Disco hits all night long and we stayed until nearly closing. Some of our friends ordered food and enjoyed it, though I can't personally speak for anything except the slice of decadent cheesecake they presented to me with a birthday candle. Truly felt like I got stellar class treatment for our group! The bartenders loved us, and we loved them! Def coming back next time we visit NYC. Such a fun place!“

“We hosted a party for 30 people, plus some of our guests' young children, at The Expat. Renting out the bar area is a great option for groups of this size or smaller. They accommodated our dietary requests, including multiple vegetarian options and dairy+gluten-free options. Reasonably priced relative to other options in the area, with good food and drinks.“
