I recently visited Cedar Local Restaurant after a friend raved about their burgers, and I’m so glad I went! The burger lived up to the hype—it was absolutely amazing, juicy, and packed with flavor. But the real standout for me was the cocktail made with vanilla vodka and Greek yogurt; it was hands down the best cocktail I've had in the city! The staff were incredibly pleasant, adding to the overall positive experience. The ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend Cedar Local for anyone looking for delicious food and a fantastic atmosphere!

The place has a nice interior and I've had good drinks before. Having said that, 20 bucks for signature cocktails is expensive if they are not above par. The figgin old fashioned tasted like a cheap old fashioned and the red sky at night was pretty weak for the price. I expect better cocktails for the price.

The bartender, Julian, was extremely rude to us during our visit. He consistently called my girlfriend "doll" and was very aggressive. We ordered food and I ate a few bites of the remainder of a donut I had. Nobody had any issue with the donut, except Julian applied an automatic 6+ group gratuity to the bill without telling us, despite there only being 3 in my party. When I asked about this, Julian said it was for the couple bites of the donut I ate. We asked him to remove the group gratuity and left him with a 15% tip, despite the awful service we received. He then proceed to follow us outside the building and yelled at us for only leaving a 15% tip. I will NEVER go back.

I visited this place on Friday night 07/13 with my girlfriend, who was visiting from out of town. The place was almost empty, with only two tables occupied and an empty bar. We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender, Julian, was extremely unwelcoming and impolite. He was harsh and clearly unhappy to be there. My friend is a big executive in the hospitality sector, and I was hoping to make this a pleasant experience for her, but it was certainly far from that.

Cedar Local is a nice little cocktail bar that is ~medium-sized for a New York bar (decent small tables, high tops, and one area with a long high top for a larger party. The drinks are good and there is a diverse menu. It is not too loud so you can have a conversation. Worth a visit if you’re looking for a chill drink with friends downtown.
Very good place, good service, exquisite cocktails, good atmosphere to clear your mind

Place was not crazy busy for the St. Patty's Day weekend and we scored seats at the bar for some cocktails. Great music and drinks but our Bartender was rude AF. He acted bothered from the start. I asked about what was in a specific drink and he suggested we were wrong although we actually weren't. He then proceeded to ask how I liked my drink and when I said with vodka generally he rudely replied "That's not what I asked you!" Then proceeded to pepper me with questions on whether I wanted it sweet or salty etc... I just went with a martini to avoid further abuse. I could see if I was rude to begin with or because it was slammed but it was completely uncalled for. We left after just onen round of cocktails and warned other friends in the area not to bother. Unfortunate.. as we might have spent some money here but definitely won't now. As it was it was $40 before tip for 2 cocktails that were super small and came with a side of bad attitude. ?
