27 Best Cocktail Bars in Bronx

“Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!“

“Literally one the tastiest places I’ve been in NYC and I’ve been plenty of times and have had a lot of food. The potion size was amazing and the flavors were on point. I still think of the rice to this day! Most certainly a must try.“

“Staff was very polite, friendly and the food was great and fresh. I highly recommend.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“I came here for the first time for brunch with my fiance. We didn't make a reservation but we were seated instantly.. I would highly encourage making reservations as there were multiple events happening there and we were lucky to get in on a walk-in LOL. The wait staff was very friendly. We had nice conversations and She was attentive. My fiance ordered that oxtail Rasta pasta which was amazing. And I got the chicken and red velvet waffles which was also very good. I liked his dish more though LOL. We also ordered the ackee and saltfish patties. I love that concept. It was creative and very good. I ordered the rum punch( potent and delicious) while my fiance had the bottomless brunch drinks for 1 hour. It included either a screwdriver or a mimosa. The difference if you would like to know is one is vodka and orange juice. The other is champagne and orange juice. We preferred the vodka LOL. Really nice Restaurant. atmosphere was beautiful music on point we were jamming out. We had such a great time. Amazing vibes. Highly highly, highly recommend and will definitely be returning.“

“Super amazing what highly recommend the Ramen was my most favorite place in the churros were amazing with the caramel dip. I feel like other people should go to this place too and I feel like this is just the best restaurant I ever been in New York City.“

“Great service thank you to Casandra for taking care of our table. And thank you for security for their great job in letting my son in.“

“Our dinner at Minato was amazing! I was truly impressed by the ambience and serenity of the garden area, with beautiful lighting and a fountain. The staff was incredibly kind and informative as they fielded all of our questions, and even were open to adjusting our order based on our preferences.

Highly recommend the assorted fish flight and salmon flight, and the teas which came in beautiful pots!!“

“Up and coming spot with great bartending service. Haven’t tried the food yet but def will be coming back to eat. The vibe is dope, the owner is a nice guy and is always present. Has a lot of TVs for a restaurant, great date spot or place to watch sports.“

“My favorite dish is Chicken martini. My wife loves the Pesto Ravioli and Risotto. Super clean place. Will eat here again and bring family.“

“The food was delicious! The music was great! They came around and asked us what we would like to listen to. Very cozy spot . The food did take some time to come out but the overall experience was worth it. Staff was super nice as well! I would go again“

“My favorite Italian restaurant in NYC! Frankie’s is festive and fun, with superlative service and culinary delight. We came here with a large party and opted for the family style menu at $45/person where you choose from a large selection of options. We started with mozzarella di Buffala, calamari and house salad. All fantastic. Then two kind of pasta and the main courses which were chicken parm (maybe the best I’ve ever had) chicken Franchese and steak. Mouth watering! Followed by dessert and coffee. My other favorite spot on Arthur Ave is Tra di Noi, also incredible food, but a quiet little gem where you go for a classy date. Frankie’s is for fun!“

“Took sailing lessons with Jeff. He was an excellent instructor“

“Best spot in The Bronx 🔥🙏🏾“

“I've gone to mama sushi at least 20 times and today has been the best experience of all times. The music was on point , and the drinks. Although I didn't have sushi I had the chefs special of sea bass , which was really good. First time having their Asian wings was perfect.“

“excelente ambiente buenas comida karioqui“

“love this best kept secret“

“Food is great! This is me and my friends second time going there for the same meal. We always get the platter that comes with Tostones, Mozzarella sticks, Chicken Croquettes, Pastelitos, and Wings. It is sooo bomb! $30 on a happy hour day, which is everyday, plus its one of the few places in the Bronx that do happy hour late. Everytime me and my friends go, there are barely people there, maybe it’s fun on the weekends or at night … not sure, but we went on a Monday, then again on a Friday, literally only 2-3 other tables active. Service is okay. I always notice the workers are doing hookah with another table and barely paying attention to their tables, she did come a couple times asking us if we were good and food didn’t take that long to come. The atmosphere is great, looks super nice in there, they upgraded their seats, the outside area is very weary tho, dark, no one in the area, wouldn’t suggest you standing outside the place for any reason, call your Uber inside and don’t come out til its there because the area isn’t that good.“

“Lavish was gave great customer service. Great communication skills and she has an amazing way of making people feel comfortable and happy

Vegetarian options: Goood ?

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely not. Adults only p“

“Celebrate my son's 14th bday here and had a good time! My son selected this spot and the DJ was officially!

Dietary restrictions: My fiance is allergic to shell fish. He ordered lemon pepper chicken and rice special without the shrimp....he had no allergic reaction. The waitress was on point!“

“I went there for a holiday party. The service is great and plenty of options to choose from. I ordered the steak with yuca fries. I wasn’t crazy about it. The fries tasted like oil and were soggy, which prevented me from even knowing these were yuca fries. Their drinks were excellent. Sangria, Mojito, Margarita, beer (corona and Sam Adams were the beers of choice), their appetizers were amazing, and the service was 5 stars.

Parking: The place is located right next to Staples, which has a huge parking lot, and there’s even more parking once staples closes.“

“This is one of the best restaurants that I have ever came to know, I visited yesterday and it was awesome and beyond amazing, the waiters are nice, the drinks gives you the needed kick, the music is amazing and gives you a breathtaking experience, I absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to just simply party and have fun ?“

“I had been to Madison Cafe lots of times. It's just a couple of blocks in my neighborhood. I tried their dishes & I can tell you, it's really delicious. Their quesadillas & wraps are awesome. I'd definitely recommend this place.“

“How am I just finding this place now!?! Came in on a Thursday evening after a fairly disappointing small claims court appearance (story for another day). Literally did a google maps search for bars nearby and this one came up with rave reviews, especially about Julian. And talk about accurate! I got one drink before I had to catch my train but it was probably the best 20 minutes of my day. Julian made an awesome lemon drop martini and was so welcoming. Not too crowded for a Thursday, very welcoming vibe. I'll make the trip from Westchester just to come here. Looking forward to trying the food.“
