28 Best Cocktail Bars in Bronx

“My mom's been raving about this spot, so it was our first stop in town! The decor is impeccable with beautiful, meaningful details, and the vibe is EVERYTHING. I love that they have high chairs for toddlers—many upscale places miss that mark. Our server Jerome was so helpful, and Matthew was super kind when we chatted. We tried the Montego Bay, Hugp Spritz, Rum Punch, and Island Float, and all the drinks were a 10/10! The food was also really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the trio tacos because there was minimal fried shrimp and I didn't like the plantain just sitting on top, but the flavor was amazing nonetheless, just needed more shrimp. The coconut shrimp were a 10/10, and the plantain cups are really good, they just need to be filled more.“

“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!“

“Came here with my mom, who is very very hard to please, and she left saying this is the best Italian she’s had in her 28 years in New York. Great portion sizes, prices, and very fresh ingredients. Could not recommend this place more!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Delicious food, good service, and a massive selection of agave-based drinks. Lovely ambiance / decor inside, and the dishes/bowls that they use are also lovely (and for sale, apparently). The place is among the most expensive in the neighborhood by a decent margin, but you certainly do feel like you're having an elevated experience (and the food was surprisingly filling).
We started with the trio of moles which were delicious, though the lightest one they offered did taste surprisingly close to vodka / tomato sauce, they provided tortillas which was nice but not nearly enough (we had to ask for more and then they charged us extra for it, despite not giving us enough the first time). The menu is rather short, so make sure there are things you like before going. The tlayuda with added meat was delicious, as were the tacos (which were $10 each) and the fluke aguachile also good (watermelon in summer is always a welcome treat).“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“love this best kept secret“

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

“The restaurant is great, staff very friendly & helpful in food & drink suggestions. Lovely deco, clean well managed. Menu selections are extremely delicious. Saturday night DJ play music which helps the vibe & have a fun evening.“

“Despite seeing a B rating in the window, I still had a pretty good experience at Arnaud's Steak & Seafood. I came on a weekend right when they opened with a large group, and the staff was incredibly polite and accommodating without making us feel like a burden. The restaurant was quiet and relaxed, which made for a really enjoyable atmosphere. Both the food and drinks were great. It's also wheelchair accessible. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

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

“I recently ordered pick up from Mama Mia, once I got home I noticed the rice I received included egg which was not what I requested.
returning to the restaurant to swap the dish was not an option. I reached out to management to explain the situation and I was incredibly impressed by how they handled it. The manager was professional, understanding, and immediately made things right by issuing a full refund for the entire order.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that truly prioritizes customer satisfaction, especially when a mistake occurs. Despite the initial issue, the excellent service and their willingness to go above and beyond to fix it have earned my respect. Although I couldn't enjoy the rice myself, a family member did, and they said it was great! I truly appreciate the restaurant taking responsibility, and I look forward to ordering from them again.“

“Atik Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience where exceptional cuisine meets artistry. The food and drinks are crafted with remarkable quality, while the ambience—complete with enchanting lights and graceful dancers—feels truly magical. Conveniently located with nearby parking, it’s the perfect setting for a special occasion. Highly recommended.“

“Great neighborhood spot with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and did their best to make everyone feel comfortable. If you're looking for a place to relax, have a few drinks, and enjoy good company, this is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back!“

“This was my first time at this spot and I did enjoy the sandwich I ordered. It was the Masala Chicken sandwich. It was so good and seasoned. The unlimited mimosas were great too. The waitress was so friendly and attentive. I would go back for the sandwich and boozy 90 drinks“

“Play offs is cool right. Payed $50 to get in. Ok cool. Went to the bathroom and there’s a lady holding napkins and mad cuz you ain’t tip for the napkin. I mean I gave her $10 cuz I was drinking and not thinking. But hell no playoff check her please. Napkins in the bathroom are free. Especially with $50 entry. Am I right or am I right!!!“

“The service and food is amazing! Love the vibe“

“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 🙃“

“Best spot in The Bronx 🔥🙏🏾“

“excelente ambiente buenas comida karioqui“

“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.“

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

“#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“
