28 Best Cocktail Bars in Bronx

“Came in real quick to order food to go but didn’t expect the ambience to be so nice. The music and scenery is so nice. Definitely would return to dine in. It was a Thursday night around 10pm and it was full of energy. Rasta pasta was good too“

“I went to this establishment on Cinco De Mayo and when I mean they are the sweetest people ever. It’s a family owned restaurant and the atmosphere gives that. Me and my cousin was served right away. The drinks were delicious and the tacos 5 out of 5. Although I didn’t get to experience their entire menu because they just made a menu for that day I was so pleased. I had a conversation with one of the workers who took time out to speak with me and my cousin she gave us the history of their restaurant and more. God bless them. They gained a returning customer for sure. Can’t wait to go back and experience the full menu. If anyone loves authentic Mexican food and your in the Bronx please go check them out you won’t regret it.“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“Amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Puerto Rico! The flavors are authentic, and every bite takes me right back to my island. The owners have poured so much love into the new location, beautifully painting different stories that showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment is evident in every detail. I also deeply respect how involved they are with the community—it’s inspiring to see a business so committed to making a positive impact. Highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience at Frankie's. They were able to accommodate our party of 11 at the last minute and were very flexible when part of our group were late. We never felt rushed and the staff was attentive. The food was delicious. Would definitely return here the next time we're in town!“

“It’s rare that I rate any place a 5. I really wanted a birria pizza for my birthday but they ran out of birria. Destiny went above and beyond to make it up to me. She surprised me with a bunch of other options that were amazing! Surf and turf tacos, and chicken tinga tacos are a 10/10! Very professional, very sweet!“

“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 !“

“Best spot in The Bronx 🔥🙏🏾“

“We were pleasantly surprised by the food. We asked our waiter if they had fried clams and he looked at us like we were crazy. He said he had no clue what we were talking about. We just chuckled and said it doesn’t matter. When we got our meal to share, we were shocked to see it being delivered in an anchor hocking glass baking dish 😂 The food was really good though 🙃“

“excelente ambiente buenas comida karioqui“

“Great place, great service and food. Great drinks.“

“We made a reservation about one week before the dinner date, because the event was to celebrate my wife's birthday and securing the reservation was essential to our plan. While we drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Amanda at Aqua called to discuss the menu, which had changed from our previous visit a year ago. That was an amazing effort on her part, and that made my wife and me feel like royalty. Amanda arranged with Chef to prepare a Ceasar salad and black cod (two dishes that we had enjoyed in 2025) even though they were not on the menu. At dinner, we presented ourselves exactly at 6:30 pm and were seated immediately. Although the Hilton complex was awash in CES attendees, Aqua was not crowded, and service was prompt. We opened a bottle of San Pelegrino, and then enjoyed delicious salad and crab cakes., followed by foie gras, which we had also enjoyed in 2025. The only complaint we had was that the foie gras was undercooked -- which was immediately addressed by Chef preparing another plate of fully-cooked foie gras, and Aqua deducted the foie gras from our tab. The main dish of black cod was likewise delicious, but the nutrient-dense protein items did not leave room for dessert. With a generous tip, the bill totaled $138 (the foie gras was comped). Despite the foie gras bobble, our dining experience at Aqua certainly equaled our inaugural visit in 2025. We can heartily recommend Aqua --dining there will make a special occasion absolutely fantastic, Any future Las Vegas visit will include another shot at the royal treatment with Aqua.“

“#whereisweekes......chillen at 161 Bar & Grill Restaurant. 161 Bar & grill is a cool little place in the cut. This was the 2nd time I went and still didn't disappoint. We made ie to Happy Hour which is over at 7pm. The wings & fries were good. My sis had the Pollo pieces and plantains. The vibe is laid back, place clean and drinks ok. Well, we know it's pre-made Margaritas for Happy Hour. Will recommend and visit again.“

“Classic high ceiling bronx cafe. I came middle of week middle of day and got my cute little bacon egg and cheese. Staff was kind and service was quick and they also do catering and had a nice flow so I liked the spot ! No atm service though— trust in the spot“
