The bartender was very knowledgeable and very friendly!If you want to have a nice conversation at a place that isn't too loud while enjoying a variety of beer, then I highly recommend Proletariat. I'll definitely return. ?“

“The oysters were on point!“

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

“Well made cocktails. Very smart staff“

“ART Soho is a great rooftop bar with solid appetizers and shareable plates (good shoestring french fries), a stocked bar (with expensive drinks...but you're paying for the view, even if it's $11 for a spiked seltzer beverage), and lots of seating. When the weather is nice very few people are inside, and the outdoor area has lots of comfy seating. The staff is somewhat attentive, though we did have to flag people down multiple times to get water, etc. Overall though this is a great spot with a great view out west from Manhattan.“

“Fantastic romantic wine bar - very popular date spot. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly - Dennis always makes sure you have a great time! They have an extensive bottle list and if you order two glasses they'll open anything BTG.“

“Great selection of beers on tap and really interesting wines by the glass. Sitting outside is lovely but would have a nicer atmosphere if there was some speakers just playing the same music as inside.
The hotdog was what my hungover ass needed for dinner and it hit the spot! Would recommend“

“Albert’s was the perfect spot for our group dinner and drinks. The atmosphere struck a wonderful balance between classy and relaxed, with stylish decor and a spacious layout that made everyone feel at ease. The menu offered a great selection of unique and delicious dishes, all served hot and fresh, and they came out promptly.

The service was truly exceptional—impeccably attentive and genuinely warm. The entire staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the management was incredibly accommodating to our large party. They made our friends’ pre-wedding celebration extra special, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable night. It’s clear that Albert’s is run with great care and attention to detail.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to come back with more friends. Highly recommended!“

“Posting here as it’s hard to get in touch and I’ve called multiple times but it goes straight to a full VM, so deducting 1 star for being hard to reach. No website, email or social media as far as I can tell either.

Otherwise great vibe, great music, great wine. Just hoping to reach them to track down a lost item and I do not live close by.“

“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.“
