I cannot recommend them enough! Service was impeccable from start to finish and pricing was competitive with downtown Hoboken.

The event coordinator, Avery was prompt and incredible helpful in getting all of the details right. Mike was attentive and delivered on every ask on the night of. Jessie was a gem behind the bar and was wonderful in the planning phases to help me nail down the drink package! Ryan showed incredible range with his DJing and kept the dancefloor lively all night.

Cocktail menu is fantastic as well!

I plan on coming back regularly“

“Love the bar, love the music, love the vibe!“

“The food, bartenders and patrons make Carpe Diem a great spot. Thoroughly enjoyed!“

“By food I mean the beer I haven't had the chance to eat there yet but the food looks good. Stopped by there yesterday since I was close to the location and had the pleasure of meeting an amazing bartender Sebastian. Answered all my questions, very knowledgeable about beer and was generous to allow me to sample before I picked what I wanted to drink. Atmosphere is laid-back, I was able to chat with a few other customers no issues, everybody was friendly. Exactly how a local bar should be, welcoming and warm. I also learned from him that they have a system ( which to me is very modern because I haven't heard about this ) but every time they change the keg there's an auto feature that cleans the line out by itself which makes a lot of sense because you don't want to have the taste of a sour beer in an IPA and vice versa or mix it up. When I found that out, I realized this is the place to go to for an amazing variety of beers which will always be guaranteed fresh because of their processes. Definitely worth a visit for some fresh cold beer with a great variety and knowledgeable bartender, can't get better than that!!“

“Good neighborhood spot. What else do you need. 😃“

“Had a lot of fun at trivia on Wednesday at 7.30. The questions were great for trivia die hards and newbies alike. Stayed for a game of shuffleboard after.

I will say the sound system wasn't the best so sometimes it was hard to hear the questions being read.“

“Donovan’s Pub is owned by 2 Woodside gentlemen. The staff is amazing friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. The food is absolutely delicious and great portions. They have the Best Burger in NYC. It’s the best burger I have ever had. They have awesome live music every weekend on their brand new stage. Their lineup of musicians is the best around. I’ve been going there for 50+ years and I highly recommend Donovan’s Pub in Woodside NY.“

I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

“Best fries ever! The burgers use to be good... Idk if the changed management or workers but, definitely not the same as a year ago when I first came here. Vegetables are not fresh & not enough quantity. I had to ask for a good amount of veggies on my burger since the last time I went there all they gave me was a leaf of lettuce (the core!) & 3 strips of onions. Ps Spicy mayo sauce is good“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“I just recently moved back to Bay Ridge after years away. Going into Bean Post I was welcomed and felt right at home on my 1st visit. The Food is fantastic and the mixed drinks they know how to pour them in Brooklyn. They offer fantastic meals especially there Thanksgiving meals you can pick up. My girlfriend had major surgery about 2 weeks ago. It was not possible for us to cook a Thanksgiving meal. WE ordered 2 Thanksgiving meals and the portions were amazing and a value we could not find anywhere else. The Turkey Dinners we purchased and the joy we had sharing Thanksgiving together with our dinners from Bean Post made it a Wonderful Holiday. We are now looking forward to ordering Christmas dinners from Anthony and his family. They treated us well. THANK YOU!“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“
