“If you're a foodie or just looking for an extraordinary dining experience, Rove on Austin St is the place to be!From the moment you step in, the ambiance captivates with its perfect blend of modern charm and cozy warmth. The staff is not just attentive but genuinely friendly, making you feel welcome and cared for throughout your visit.“
“Kudos to Solera! Service and private seating were top-notch and very personable. Ordered several items from menu and all were delicious! Celebrated granddaughter's 2nd birthday and staff did an amazing job with dessert with candle and song. Traveled from the south and will visit again on next trip to NYC.“
“Upon my second visit here I finally remembered to take pictures rather than devour the the food like the animal I am. All the beef is local grass fed and not to sound like a snob but you can taste the difference. Happy hour the best deal where you can get a smash burger and fries for $10. For the quality that's unbeaten. Also the Dry Aged burger is what everyone talks about here, we had it and I'll say there is a reason for it. The flavor is so much more prominent but you will have to drop $22 dollars for it (I'd say it's worth it) this place is an institution.“
“KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends.However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.“
“Got there at 6 on a Thursday, waited 2 hours for a table for 2. Mozzarella sticks and ribs were amazing. Wings, burger, and ice cream sundae were fine. Service was great, and I loved the atmosphere, it was loud as hell so some people may not like that but I have no issue.“
“After binge watching Love is Blind for 4 hours, it took everything for my lil baby and I to peel ourselves out of bed to make our 6pm reservation at Virginia's. To be honest, the last minute cancellation would have cost me $50 so that's really what got me... and that's so fair they should charge for last minute cancellations on a res.I've walked by Virginia's hundreds of times at this point, and made so many mental notes to pop in as it looks so inviting from the outside. Upon finally entering, I was right. Inviting af.As we sat down I became almost giddy for the meal, as the ambiance is so well curated. I'm a sucker for those little floating orb lights and a cool under lit bar ahahaha.We started with drinks (Negroni for me, obviously. My nickname in high school was Post Negrone), the little gem salad, and the crab croquettes. The little gem salad was out of this world honestly. I don't even know, I could have eaten 10 of those things.For mains, wifey got the burger per Yelp direction and I got the Steak Frites because I am on a mission to try every Steak Frites in the city.The burger is absolutely to die for. The hype is real. It's recommended medium rare, and it came cooked to perfection. I mean look at the attached pic, Jesus Christ. Every bite of this large beef patty amalgamated with cabot cheddar, onion marmalade, marrow aioli, and bacon is a juicy blast of heaven between 2 buns. It was spiritual.The Steak Frites was the best one I've had in NYC. Granted I've only had like 7-8, but still, head and shoulders my favorite right now. I mean again, just look at the pic attached. Do I need to say anymore? I mean look at that Maitre d' butter soaking into the steak. Great portion size too. Steak was bigger than my head ahaha God did.However the only negative, that is my civic duty to mention, was fries do not come with the burger... and the fries are an extra $12!?!?! DAMN. Me and wifey just split the fries from my Steak Frites so we were chillin, but an extra $12 for some fries? On top of a $20 burger? $25 if you add bacon too… $29 if you add the egg…I really began to worry about the future of the world when burgers stopped coming with fries. I wonder if they'll start serving scrambled eggs without bacon lol. That's when I'll know it'll be time to flee the country.Regardless of fry-gate, I loved this place... I don't hold it against them either, as most high end American places are doing this. Much to my chagrin in times like this, the market is the market.Shoutout to our girl, Morgan, as she was an amazing waitress. Super engaging, giving us great recs, checking in on us all the time, etc. The staff here was fantastic.My experience was so memorable that I almost bought a hoodie, but bailed last minute as I got really shy and I spent a good amount on dinner ahahahaha.This is one of the best American Food spots I have been to in all of NYC. It will make my revised list of All NBA Lower East Side Restaurants. GOD DID!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__“
“I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant yesterday! Mamun, our server, provided exceptional service, and Jordan went above and beyond, giving us a thorough tour and sharing insights about the Virgin brand. Highly recommend this place and looking forward to returning.“
“From the moment we stepped in, our dining experience at Barnea was exceptional. The exquisite food tantalized our taste buds, and the top-notch service, led by server Reuben and manager Anthony, elevated our evening. Every dish was a masterpiece, and the attentive staff ensured our every need was met with a smile. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Barnea to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience.“
“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“
“Cozy beer parlor on a quiet street corner with rotating taps of beer, sours, and ciders, delicious snacks and sandwiches, and friendly service. Summertime here is magical with cold beer and outdoor seatings. Great ambiance and perfect for chill hangouts.“
“Not only if the food absolutely incredible (I especially love the samosas and cauliflower wings and can’t wait to try more!), the people here go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cared for in a way that makes the whole experience even better. They also have a beautiful patio so awesome in warm weather and for Covid safety. It’s a truly special place and I can’t wait to go back again soon!!Vegetarian options: One of the best vegetarian places I’ve been too—quinoa based, mushroom based, alternative meat—so many different kinds of substitutes that taste amazing :)“
“An absolutely wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was nice - minimalist Japanese decor, wood tones, and music that you didn't have to scream over. The food was excellent and not too pricey. I went with a group and we ordered a bottle of sake which came to us in a large ice dispenser for the table which was a surprise and delight (not to mention we got to pick out unique sake cups for ourselves). The wait staff was friendly and informative. Will definitely be returning“
“Absolutely love stopping here. The staff are sweet, helpful, and timely. The oysters are fresh and delicious. Definitely get yourself the Mac and cheese and ricotta dip to share bc they are delightful! Great place if you’re looking for a light tasty meal and a proper glass of wine.“
“I know this place just opened, but I extremely highly recommend. A few of my friends came to eat here and so I decided to give it a try. Walking in, I was surprised how there was literally no one there but a ton of workers which I guess was great for me as they were super attentive. I was a bit surprised by the prices were pretty high for something that was supposed to be take-out, but the minute they start making the shawarma, I knew why it was more expensive. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma platter and it was delicious! Perhaps one of the best shawarmas I've had in the city. First of all, they gave us a platter just for all the toppings, did I mention that they are unlimited, that they had. Sometimes the toppings don't have that much flavor, but each one was very complex and flavorful. The chopped salad was light and fresh which balanced out the finely chopped pickles which added a sour taste. The red cabbage slaw which was slightly savory and slightly sour balanced out the onions that had a slight charred on it. I was so delighted by all the different toppings, which is where I think the place definitely shines. The chicken itself was okay, tender but not crazier than normal. Overall, I had an amazing experience and especially with the portion sizes, the platter could easily feed a family of 4 with additional leftovers. I think it will take me at least 6-7 meals before eating it all but I did add some of my own rice to counteract the bounty of flavors. I will say that they don't automatically give you the rice or the fries so big reminder to ask them for that when you come.“
“Nice neighborhood spot on Atlantic that has a good happy hour We've come here in small groups and big groups, but they really only have 1 long table in the back that's good for 4+ people. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, when we can take advantage of their outdoor garden area. The truffle fries are pretty addicting - super crispy and truffley Cocktails are ok and a bit on the pricier side, but we take advantage of the beer & wine during happy hour The only downside is that they're usually understaffed, with only 1 bartender for the whole place. We're usually waiting on orders/drinks for a while, but hopefully when they get busier, they can add more staff“
“Great place just to pop in warm.uo and wet your whistle plenty cans or draft + your standard line of LIQS BOB was great he attentive friendly knowledgeable paired my Jameson shots with a tasty IPA definitely a worth a visit and return visit pleasant atmosphere“
“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!“
“Been coming here for the past month since I moved back to the neighborhood. First time there tested out the hummus, spectacular. 2nd time the shwarma and malawach with a side of spicy harissa - outstanding. This will be my go-to for Fort Greene Israeli food.“
“Great cozy spot for a cold Sunday beer and grilled cheese. We got the Fun-ghi and Figgy Piggy and it was a good mix of sweet and salty. The shop has tons of fine foods for gifts or appetizers, a long fresh cheese bar, and craft beer to go. What more could you need!“
“Stopped for a burger during brunch time and the place was filled the whole time I was there. The turkey burger was good and I was looking for a good turkey burger for awhile now. You can customize your burger or order one of the speciality ones from the menu. I ordered a turkey burger with white cheddar cheese and lettuce with fries. They also have sweet potato fries. Harlem Public has bar vibes so it's real down to earth and laid back. The staff was always moving around and open to give suggestions if you're trying to decide what drink or meal you want to order. They also have tons of appetizers. I ordered the mozzarella sticks which were really yummy and had a good cheese pull. I thought they were a little overpriced but Harlem Public is a cool spot. I'd go back.“
“Great little spot with a rotating draft list and incredible vinyl records playing some hits. They have a great back patio. Love going here for a couple beers before going out on Vanderbilt for the night. Love the divy, music forward vibe of this spot. Can't wait to go again!“
“We knew it was a gamble to do takeout, but wanted to try it anyway. The burger is decent, but no special sauce and the 8oz patty was in our view too large to be properly complimented by the ingredients, so recommend the 5oz for a more optimal taste compilation. The fries were tasteful but unfortunately soggy even though we had a 5 min transit time only, so can only give 4 stars for the takeout experience. Probably best to eat this on location (and support the staff!), and we will likely give this a second chance on prem“
“Went there for lunch with four others. Wr call the Donburi but different types. The apps were the usual Edamame (can't mess this up) and some tasty pan fried Gyoza. We all enjoyed our Donburi and finished them but I thought it was kind of bland so really 3.5 on the food.“
“I hosted a surprise 30th birthday for one of my old college friends at Bar Nine and we had the absolute BEST time!!! The bar’s manager couldn’t have been more helpful and kind and helped me set up the whole party for a group of 15! The drinks were awesome, the service was amazing, and the music was top notch! We had the best time and can’t wait to visit again soon! Thank you Bar Nine for an incredible night with all my college friends!!“
“A lovely spot in Rockefeller Center! Other Half is a must-visit for any craft beer lover visiting NYC and this taproom was so fun! I visited around 6pm and the taproom was busy with an after-work crowd enjoying beers and conversation.Highly recommend Broccoli, NEIPA and Poetry Snaps, Rice Lager.“
“I was meeting a friend for dinner and it was pouring out. Being wet and cold instantly disappeared once I walked into this magical restaurant! The place is cozy, tables well spaced, clean and comfortable.The wait staff was super friendly, made good suggestions and brought the food out timely. We had the crispy chickpeas with rosemary and black salt. This is listed under snacks. I suggest you order these as soon as you sit down to snack on while deciding what to order. The chickpeas were deep fried with wonderful seasoning and had a delightful crispy taste.They have a wonderful wine list. We had the Chateau De Chantegrive Graves 2012. It is a Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon, France. It tasted like a mixture of a Sauvignon Blanc and a Chardonnay and was not too sweet. It also is a great value at $11 a glass.We started with the Steak Tartare appetizer with fresh Chile and ponzu sauce. The chef at this place is a master at spicing, the true art of cooking. Fresh Chile and ponzu are two very flavorful ingredients where each can dominate. Just the right amount of each was added and the flavors blended perfectly with the tartare.We then had the Wild Dover Sole with salsa Verde and the Salmon Rice Bowl with coconut rice, seared salmon, avocado, seaweed, sesame seeds and ponzu sauce. I had never had wild dover soles and wanted to try them. The dover soles were incredibly light and almost melted in our mouths.The Salmon Rice bowl was extraordinary with oodles of flavor. The coconut rice was cooked to perfection.We finished with a cappuccino and latte and the coffee flan. I love flan and coffee so it was heavenly for me. The flan had a strong coffee taste and was not overly sweet as some flans are.Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.Even though I do not live in the neighborhood it is worth the trip!“
“In town for work and my coworkers and I stopped in after a team building activity.Bear was behind the counter and took great care of us was helpful in assisting us with choosing beers.Nice chill spot. I’ll be back next time I’m in New York“
“I’d give atmosphere 10 stars if I could. This is my all time favorite bar. It’s chill. The staff are incredible, and there are regulars that all know each other and talk. I love this place so much I rented it out for my wedding reception.11/10. Couldn’t recommend more.“
“Great local bar with a very large selection of beers and delicious food cooked to order. All kinds of great bands on different nights of the week. They have fire pits in the back in a covered area with large screen televisions and exceptionally friendly staff. If you're in town in Rockaway Beach, definitely a place to stop by and have fun with friends.“
“Highly recommend the ribeye (steak and mashed potatoes) and chicken wings. With over 90 beers to choose from, it's impossible to go wrong with this place. We were taken care of by Rina, who is there Fri and Sat. Amazing and attentive waitress who knows her beers. Visit this place!“
“Lovely place to stop and get a beer when in New York or in Harlem. The selection was based on local beers that were either supportive of women own breweries or LGBT focused. The bartender was very kind and super down to earth! ! We'll be returning next time we are in town.“
“Atmosphere was a vibe and the bartenders were really friendly !! Bald bestie at the bar extended a firm handshake after giving me my receipt and I thought that was so fkn funny BUT THEN he wanna go and offer to take a pic of me and my friend only to take a selfie with the other bartender LIKE ??? We were weakkkk And the ~other~ bartender who brought the doggo over was super sweet too :')“
“I really enjoy this place. It’s a little bit difficult to get service sometimes cause it gets really busy but it’s a really cool place to go for happy hour after work. Plus they have happy hour till 8 PM with two dollars off like many of their drinks and eight dollar drinks. It’s a great space to come with work, friends, and plenty of room to enjoy.“
“Good local bar. I wouldn't travel far to come here, but my friend lives down the block on 40th and this is my favorite spot in the area. Good prices, got just what you need. People are always cool around here. Saw a fight once outside. Pool tables you can play. Bathroom is far away downstairs. I come here whenever I'm in the neighborhood!“
“What makes East Harlem Bottling stand out is the friendliness of its service. The staff engage with customers and seem to have fun in doing so. Other craft beer venues could take a lesson here…doesn’t matter what you have on tap…it’s in the service.“
“Great local bar. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Got pretzel and tots to go with my beer. Was worried about the tots they looked under fried but it was really crispy and recommend for a small snack. Got a lager which was really good and they have good variety of beers and cider.“
“$5.44/ cookie. The famous Chocolate chip & sea salt cookie, reportedly one of the best on the UWS. It’s on the pricier side but it’s massive and it’s very good. The touch of sea salt really adds something special to the flavor profile.They’re baked fresh, on site, several times throughout the day. This is nice because it means you’re not obligated to come in the morning to score the freshest cookie.I live right by Crossbar and I’ve liked it since it opened but I was not aware that Crossbar was noted for its pastries. I’m not altogether surprised to hear it though because any place that chooses to serve Devoción coffee I would, generally speaking, expect good high quality things from.—Pastries & Coffee aside: Crossbar is a wonderful spot. I really appreciate what they’re doing and what they’re bringing not only to the neighborhood but to the city. I’m not sure how many places like Crossbar there are in NYC but they’re not common. We’re lucky to have them right here on the UWS. Crossbar is kind of the ‘anti sports bar’ or the ‘unamerican sports bar’. In more ways than one and not just in the choice of sports they choose to show. It’s reflected in the aesthetic/ decor of the place, the food and beverages they serve and, yes, the sports that they show. All of these factors conspire together to create the kind of spot that someone like me would go to. Quite a feat for “sports bar”!Kid-friendliness: This is a family-friendly place.“
“Good beer selection and comfort food. The room is large and well spaced. In addition to a well curated beer selection, the cocktails are above average. The menu has an European influence. We enjoyed the Spaetzle and Taphouse Burger. The service was adequate.“
“I tried the place for the 1st time around 1 week ago. I've been back again I really enjoyed the chicken wings and my smashed bacon cheeseburger I tried a beer called a Cloud in the Sky it was awesome I will definitely be eating there again“
“Gottscheer Hall is a fixture of Ridgewood and has been for decades. It does an excellent job at bridging the gap between the old neighborhood and the infusion of the new crowd in a way in which everyone feels welcome. The food is excellent and reasonably priced and their selection of German beer pretty much guarantees something for everyone. The bartenders are also the best in the area, friendly, personable and great to chat with while sipping on a cold one. I've made many memories and friends in that place from all walks of life. I recommend it to everyone. Easy 5 stars. Check it out!“
“I hosted some friends for my 30th birthday here and it was the perfect event, no small part because of this space. Everyone who came mentioned how much they loved the spot and the vibe. The drinks were great and I was able to bring in food (we ended up ordering some of the food they offer as well to snack on - delicious). What I will rave about most is the staff. Audrey took our orders all night and was the kindest, most helpful and attentive person. Also shout out to Amanda and JR for being so great as well in answering all my questions. I think I found my new favorite spot!!“
“Cozy joint! I think I got an old fashioned and it was absolutely drinkable. Also there was a band playing and they were, you know, figuring it out? But their moms and dads were in full attendance and you’ve gotta give it up for that familial support system baby!“
“Highly recommend Bubo for your next dinner option or happy hour! The food is delicious and offers much more variety than your typical bars. The ambiance was warm and cozy and a great spot for a date night or hanging out with some friends. It’s located near a great area with the subway close by which makes commuting that much easier. Would love to come try their brunch next!“
“Great happy hour, amazing beer selection, and good food. You’d think the bartenders here would be pretentious because of all the fancy beer but they are really friendly and happy to give you recommendations. Worth a trip out if you’re a craft beer fan. Lots of rare stuff.“
“Great small place, this please can be come my next Cheers. Locals are great and very welcoming to new comers and give you great recommendations. Great selection of beers and very good food, I would come again.The owner operates the bar and he is very accommodating with great beer knowledge.“
“Great beer, knowledgeable and kind bartenders, the big backyard is a great place to relax on a hot day. They use air purifiers inside - a big thank you from everyone who still takes COVID seriously, this is one of the only indoor bars I’ll go to in the winter.“
“Typical midtown bar for food and drinks with colleagues and friends - only this place has really good food! The drinks are good - nothing too crazy or ‘crafty’ but overall good place to go after work. I’ve been here a few times and they’re always consistent. (Their menu clearly identifies Gluten Free and Vegan options)“
“Offering an elevated drinking experience unique to its neighborhood, Albert’s Bar is a great choice.With its two levels and its Deco decoration highlighting the glamor of 1950.There are brunch, lunch and dinner options, with cooking open until 11:00 pm. An oasis that Midtown Manhattan deserved!Vegetarian options: 1. Smoked olives;2. French fries;3. Crispy Chili Cauliflower;4. Green salad;5. Crispy chickpeas;6. Tomato sandwich;Dietary restrictions: Inform dietary restrictions when placing the order.Parking: There are many places available on the nearby streets.“
“What a cute bar that has been around for 17 years and just yesterday I stepped foot into it for my first time. It was the 17th Anniversary party yesterday as well. They had a bunch of collabs with other breweries so their taps were filled with wonderful selection of cool beers. I got here when it opened grabbed a seat at the bar. I didn't catch her name but the bartender was super nice and we chatted a bit. This bar has two tvs in the bar area and some tables in the back. It also has an outdoor area which I did not get to check out unfortunately. The only downside is, is that there is no food served here. But the upside is that you can get free Pop-corn! If you have not been here before, I would suggest stopping by. By the way whoever does their social media is super great!“
“It is an excellent and unpretentious place for a girl's night out. We went on a Thursday they had Good music with enough volume to talk with your friends. Good food and curated coctails, I got the Parmesan sandwich on a hero, and it was freshly prepared and delicious plus it came with salad instead of French fries. ( good to cut your carbs ;)) the waiter was fun and kind.“
