“the vibe at IYKYK was nice... the food delish... drinks on point... varied music including latin beats which to my taste was awesome plus they have hookah (cash only but worth it)... honestly prices were pretty affordable and the service was really nice... our waitress Tiffany was attentive even though her section was busy when we first got there...our food and drinks didn't take long... I went with my cousin and we both had a blast... It was our first time going to IYKYK, and we're def planning on going back 💃🏼“

“Love this place . Nice drinks and beautiful environment . Very cute bartenders. Lindo demais . ❤️😎“

“Excellent service and menu! We had a wonderful night.“

“Staff was friendly and very involved on the time we spent. Our instructor was very helpful and made it easy for us to understand how we kept score. We opened a tab and it was a pleasant atmosphere. Music wasn't to loud that you couldn't talk. Every lane was safe as they had cages and made sure people threw in their own caged lane. Overall I'd rate this place 9 out of 10“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“This was an amazing experience! Ten Degrees Bar is one of those rare places that immediately makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto a hidden gem. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively — dim lighting, great music that’s not too loud to talk over, and a crowd that feels effortlessly cool but still welcoming. Whether you’re going for after-work drinks, a date night, or just to unwind with friends, this place delivers.

The drink menu is impressive — creative cocktails alongside all the classics done right. Every drink we ordered was perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. But what really made the night stand out was the service, especially from Lucas, who was behind the bar.

Lucas was absolutely fantastic. He has that rare mix of professionalism and personality that makes you want to stay a little longer. He took the time to ask what kind of flavors we liked and then recommended a few cocktails off-menu that turned out to be spot on. He worked quickly even though the bar was packed, never losing his cool, and somehow managed to make everyone at the bar feel like they were his favorite customer. You can tell he really knows his craft — and actually enjoys it.

It’s that kind of attentive, genuine service that turns a good night into a memorable one. Thanks to Lucas and the whole Ten Degrees team, we’ll definitely be coming back.

If you’re looking for a bar with great drinks, good energy, and standout staff, Ten Degrees Bar is the spot.“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Gabriel's is a lovely restaurant, perfect for date night, meeting friends or just a delicious meal. The food was excellent, prepared perfectly. Our waitress was attentive and answered all our questions. It was a very pleasurable dining experience.“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“We had our wedding dinner at Panzon-- and it rocked! Could not be happier with how it turned out.

We did a full venue rental and held a cocktail hour followed by family style dinner. David, the owner, was super responsive and helpful planning the menu and event. Staff, service, and food were amazing the whole night. Big recommend!“

“Busy spot with quick and easy service. Fun range in cocktails, crab fried rice is delicious and they had pork cheeks (served with thai chili slices and ginger, which was perfect), which is one of my favorite appetizers.

All flavorful“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Look, there are a million bars in New York. But few of them have a soul. You can feel the intention behind everything at Bar Americano from the weight of the glassware to the garnish on the drink to the playlist. They care about the little things that make up the whole experience. It's the kind of place you bring an out of town friend to show them what a real Brooklyn bar feels like. Easily one of the best no question, I kinda became like the michelin guys reviewing these XD.“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“I went to El Pingüino about two weeks ago and absolutely loved that they offer happy hour seven days a week and it’s becoming a routine for us!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.

Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

And they have really great basque cheesecake!

The overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing, making it a great spot to unwind after work or grab a late-night drink.

If you’re in Greenpoint and love oysters, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Amazing unique cocktails. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing brunch this morning. Excellent and super friendly staff, food was amazing!🙌🏼👍👏“

“Perfect! The bone was super fun for the Notre Dame game. They are the designated MD alumni club bar so i recommend watching games there. Some of the best service I've ever had. Delicious food. We had the wings and breakfast sliders. They are currently decorated for Christmas as a holiday pop up which is super fun!“

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

“It was good even we are late we still having a cocktail drinks“

“Lovely place, a cute little nook in the middle of the heart of nyc. Food selection is great and is very delicious. I just hope it was open until a little later. Bar area is beautiful and the bartenders are very profesional and friendly. Would definetly come here after a jazz concert or a Broadway show to relax, have a delicious meal and pair it with a great cocktail. Recommending to everyone!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Beautiful bar and people , I felt at home and am new to the area but enjoy and recommend. I am impressed.“

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“Fantastic food, reasonable prices, excellent service. PS Kitchen sets the standard for manhattan eateries with a conscience and a heart … and the creativity of an experiential culinary artist. The vibe is great. The food is better. Highly recommend“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there“

“Nice place.

Forever ever nice to start. No controversy here. Refreshing. Can really feel yeast is well alive unlike sterilized canned beer.

Also had higher alcohol content alike Double Nectaron Daydream with 8.5%. Felt the buzz. Deceptively tasty. Chic drink? Nope unisex well-liked for most tastebuds.

Also had dark one. Not universally liked. Texture syruppy. I liked it. Quite different but others mixed reviews. No wander bartender offered tasting before ordering for 4.

The place does have TV, so possibly watching MLB playoff. But more of midtown place to hang out after work.
Got really crowded. Tough to get table, seat or even standing room.“

“kent is the best. extensive beer list with rotating drafts, impeccable energy for sporting events, and some of the best bartenders i've come across in the city. be sure to sit outside in the summer, hunter will take exceptional care of you!“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“We were in the city for an appointment and decided to get a quick drink and a. It’s to eat before leaving. I had the Drinks and nachos were delicious. Staff was very friendly. We will be back.“

“I’d be lying if I said the steak and eggs at this place isn’t the first thing I think of when I wake up every morning. I had Michelin star steak from a place around the corner and it didn’t even slightly compare to this. Compliments to the chef, the staff, and the ownership. This place rocks.“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“The food is amazing! We had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, chicken, shepherd’s pie, fish sandwich, and burger. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was so much fun. Really had a laugh at the bathroom with all the googly eyes.“

“I can’t speak more highly about this space and the staff.
From the moment we were greeted at the door with a warm smile to the first sip of Scott’s perfectly made Jacklyn, this place did not disappoint.
We will be back!!!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“This place has an amazing vibe. We came on a Saturday night and were treated to an awesome DJ spinning vinyl. The sound system blew me away…the acoustics were crystal clear, easily the best I’ve ever heard in a venue. The drinks were excellent too, and the bartender was both skilled and attentive. A top-notch experience all around“

“Eat drink be merry. Loved this place“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“
