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

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“Great ambience, excellent service and delicious soulful food. I had an amazing experience 👍🏼“

“I went to Everdene Bar with friends on a late summer evening and loved it. The hostess, Guialem, greeted us with a big smile, and our waiter Dawn took great care of us. The cocktails were excellent. I especially enjoyed the vodka gimlet and a strawberry drink(I can’t remember the name). The terrace was amazing for the weather. My only feedback is I prefer adding the tip myself instead of having it included as a service fee. Overall, a great spot to enjoy with friends!“

“The whole family loves it! A go-to comfort spot for us.Great selection of beers on tap.“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“The service here is really the standout. Every single bartender is friendly, and there are always more than enough staff to help. It really shines through! They do samples, and small pours which is great.
As a beer snob, I really wish they had some better options though. With 12+ taps i find that only 4-5 are really something special with the rest being average at best. If they can up the options just a little it would be a 5 star bar.“

“And cider & bier - about a dozen on draught, and more cabs and bottles on the in the cooler. Great Brie garden in back for gatherings.“

“Great spot to enjoy several beers with friends.“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“We were a group of 23 to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and John, Alex, the staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating. The beer was awesome, the appetizers delicious, the venue just gorgeous, the music and the vibe so good!! We will be back again!“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“I've come here sporadically in the past but after joining a local climbing gym last year, I come here almost weekly.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know some of the folks by name. And every one of them is kind and welcoming.

I'm also a fan of the beers! I have multiple favorites. There's always something new to try and everyone behind the bar is very knowledgable.

Also Billy Bob has a dope playlist he plays from time to time. All hiphop. East coast, west coast, NOLA, Texas, so much love for all regions.
A beautiful thing.“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Amazing food, grumpy but helpful staff
Loved the homemade chips and the onion dip! Soooo yummy
Also the eggplant Parmesan was the best I’ve ever had! The Piccata sauce was also unreal 🤤🤤
The drinks were just ok, and not an impressive number of options“

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

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“Had a riot ‘ music was fantastic and ton of fun. Everything we wanted in a piano bar“

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

“Always LOVE coming to KCBC when we’re in NY. Wouldn’t be a trip unless we went there. Staff is always awesome, the tap list is always phenomenal and the vibe is always right. Didn’t get any beer pictures this time around, just doggos.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Stopped in for a beer our first night in NYC. Staff were really helpful and made great suggestions on craft beers to try. Small spot, may take a minute to get a seat/table but worth it. Recommend trying their flight as well as any of the crafts that they recommend 💕“

“​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose track of time ;)“

“Food was so authentic. It took me back to some of my favorite spots on St. Marks back when Japanese Restaurants were kind of hole in the wallish and actually owned and prepared by Japanese. Tonkatsu was super crispy and moist. Udon was clean with a true Japanese flavor not flavor packet garbage some restaurants are passing off these days. The curry udon was amazing. Chirashi was delicate, flavorful and fresh. Great staff. Loved it all. Will be back and soon.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“I live in Forest Hills and I’ve been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn’t taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don’t like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn’t spending money and that my type shouldn’t be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

“I ordered a turkey burger on my lunch break, it came with fries and a pickle. It took about 15 minutes to make(which is exactly what they said) we love a punctual lunch! But the best part was the taste! Seriously the best turkey burger I've ever had. I went back to work and told everyone about it. If you are looking for a spot that has indoor seating, cocktails and beer, as well as great food, you should go here! Next time, I'm definitely dining in!“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

“Our first stopped by just for a drink and end up drinks were nice plus excellent service. Before we leave the owner stopped by to say hi with warmly welcome and very nice conversation,really appreciate 😊

Parking: There were plenty of street parking and free paid after 7 pm“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“The drinks were not only super tasty but also really cute – definitely IG worthy. Each cocktail had its own little flair, from creative garnishes to fun glassware, and you could tell care went into every detail. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar if you visit!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff“

“The oysters were on point!“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“I visited this restaurant one of the midnight for some food with my friends couple days ago. The food was delicious and hit the spot perfectly. However, what truly made my visit memorable and the reason I'm writing this review was the outstanding performance of the server.
The place seemed busy, but this server was operating on another level! I was genuinely amazed watching him work. Incredible Multitasking and Efficiency.He was seamlessly handling *everything* taking orders from multiple tables, answering customer questions, serving food, and clearing tables – all seemingly at once. The most impressive part was his consistently *excellent attitude* Despite the intense workload and juggling so many tasks, he remained incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely friendly with every single customer. I would love to come back again just for his service!“

“Fun atmosphere and fantastic people on both sides of the bar!“

“Excellent food and service. Wednesday night trivia is awesome. Great place.“

“Gold Star Beer Counter nails what most places miss. The music is local and right — unexpectedly amazing — like someone actually thought about it instead of hitting play on some corporate streaming service. You can feel it’s picked by the same personalities you see at the bar, not a marketing team in another time zone. The vibe is warm, unforced, and human. No branding exercise, no playlist ‘strategy,’ just a room that knows exactly who it is and lets you enjoy it“

“Great beer selection. Knowledgeable staff that will help you choose something you will enjoy. I had the mango habanero wings and bulgogi nachos. The wings were delicious. The nachos were fine. Nice ambience, with lots of TVs playing different sports. Large outdoor patio. Give them a visit!“

“During a recent visit, my best friend and I had the most unforgettable experience, thanks to Daniel. Not only did he craft the best espresso martini we’ve ever had, but he truly elevated the evening with his exceptional service. Daniel took the time to explain the intricate details behind the cocktails, showcasing his deep knowledge and passion for mixology. The ambiance was already fantastic, but Daniel's attention to detail and warm demeanor made it the best bar experience we've ever had. His dedication to creating a memorable and personalized experience set this visit apart from any other.“
