Went to BIXI in Harlem after having a bad experience at another restaurant, and baby… BIXI completely saved the night. From the moment we walked in, the energy was immaculate, the definition of a vibe. ✨
10/10 across the board. The bartenders went above and beyond, even singing Happy Birthday to my bestie, which made the night feel extra special and personal. The drinks? Absolute perfection… balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with intention.
If you’re looking for great music, top-tier cocktails, and a staff that genuinely cares about your experience, BIXI is it. Harlem did not disappoint. We’ll definitely be back.

This is a hidden gem. It was a grown and quaint atmosphere. Food and drinks were delish. They even had great music .I have found my new Friday night spot.

Made a reservation a day ahead of time and when we arrived, 10min before our reservation, they said our table wasn't ready. That was fine, we were a little early. But a table didn't become available until 40min AFTER our scheduled time. The food was amazingly delicious but the portions are small. I can't really recommend this place.

I had a pretty good experience here. Struggled between deciding to give 3 or 4 stars, I’d say 3.5 for my final review.
Great atmosphere, great crowd and music. Nice seating, you can pick from outdoor and indoor.
Very nice happy hour menu which includes food (didn’t get to try any). 10 dollars a drink for craft cocktails which I guess isn’t bad and the happy hr runs until 8 pm including weekends, which is hard to find. It’s rare to find a lychee martini on happy hr, but I’d have to say it’s not the best lychee martini I’ve had, it tastes very sour. I’m not a fan of sweet drinks either, but the overall flavor profile and balance is off for sure.
I also tried another drink off the happy hr that starts with a H and it’s similar to a rum punch, that was actually made decent. The bartender is pretty friendly and gave my friend a free shot for happy hr.
Sadly there is only one bathroom and frequently a line but my experience, it goes by quick.
Overall, I recommend, definitely a vibe here and I’d return for sure.

The door attendant not letting people in who had already been in is incredibly rude. He was also nasty and not polite at all

Want a CheatSheet for one of the best happy hours in town? Bixi hits the mark for this happy-hour connoisseur. And yes—the first word of each line spells CHEATSHEET on purpose.
Canine-Friendly? Absolutely. Comfortable, dog-ready outdoor seating. Happy Alcohol Alternatives? Yes! Mocktails with intention and flavor. Exceptional Service? Staff treats you like the happy hour queen you are. Accessibility? Seamless with easy roll-in/roll-out access. Tasty Food Options? Rise above typical bar fare. This is not bar food. It’s real cooking. Setting? Offers choice: bustling bar energy or quiet cozy corners. Healthy & Vegetarian Food Choices? Plentiful and genuinely impressive. Extended Hours (Length & Days)? Absolutely makes this a strategic pick with weekends included starting at 3 pm on Sundays! Eclectic, Unique, and/or Authentic Happy Hour Selection? Stands out with both food and drinks. Total Value: Terrific! The happy hour prices are well-below (about 25%) the regular menu.

Come for happy hour, stay for Alex! Service is top notch. Make this your neighborhood bar even if you don’t live in the neighborhood. I got there a bit late and the kitchen was closed, just another excuse to come back!

Went here for the first time with my family on Sunday, August 17th. We originally had a reservation for 4:30 and they give you a 15 minute grace period. I called to left them know we would be later than that and they were accommodating and said they will still be able to seat us. We were a table of 4 and arrived at 5pm.
The vibe is cozy and the decor is cute. I would come back for a date night. The bar is in the front when you enter and then there’s the dining room. There’s also additional seating in the back and there’s only one bathroom.
We ordered our appetizers from their happy hour menu; they have happy hour everyday from 4-8pm. However, some items aren’t discounted that much- like the 3 pc wings from HH are $9 but regular price is $10. The sweet chili wings were good, but I do think the menu is a bit pricey especially for the quantity that you get.
The highlight of the meal was the lemon sesame chicken. It was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The rice was so soft and buttery and literally melted in your mouth with each bite. 10/10 definitely would recommend and would get that dish again!
Con My first time here was good. However the only thing I didn’t like was that when we asked for the bill, they had originally charged us a 20% gratuity. BUT, in their menu it states that gratuity is added after 9pm! We were there at 5pm and got the bill around 6:30pm, so we were confused to see that added. It didn’t make sense to us. Our waitress said it was because we were a “large party of 4” but she said she could speak to the manager and get the charge taken off and that’s what she did. I don’t mind being charged gratuity, but if you state that you do it after a certain time, then follow that!
Really enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely recommend.

We had such an amazing time at Bixi last night. The service was outstanding from the time we entered until we left. The food was sooo good. Including the starters - omg! The ambience was very chill. A really nice vibe. Can't wait to return.

This Asian fusion restaurant has personality. Great decor, unique menu, an uptown up tempo vibe and excellent service. Our table especially enjoyed the Asian caesar salad, Tandoori Salmon, Japanese Yams, Asian won tons and Lemon Chicken.
