Just everything was incredible! I would totally recommend to visit if you are a football fan especially a Newcastle United fan.“

“first trip to NYC. Stayed close by and just happened to walk in to what may be one of the best nights ever! The bar tenders were so nice! I felt like Id known them my entire life. We made new friends at the bar and spent the night singing and laughing. SO. MUCH. FUN“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“The York offers a sleek, upscale vibe with a menu that feels modern and well-executed. The dishes are flavorful and nicely presented, striking a balance between comfort and refinement. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere works well for both date nights and small gatherings. A polished spot that delivers a consistently enjoyable experience.“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“

“Great local spot to grab a beer and a burger and watch a game. Made even better now that @shaingallagher has moved over from the Dark Horse which closed.“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“

“Adriano and the rest of the team are amazing. The food is always fresh, it’s kid friendly as well. It’s a great spot of groups or even a corporate event. The menu ranges from simplistic to complex. The team cares about their job and I honestly love it here’s! please stop by if you’re in the area. I honestly never get good pictures too busy enjoying the vibe.“

“My favorite neighborhood bar when I lived on the upper east side. Miss late night drinking and darts �“

“Best bartenders in town. Feels like home. Always a friendly welcome... the atmosphere is always positive and you always will have a smile. Plus great happy hour deals and music..:“

“it was fun to be here i enjoyed so much.“

“Me and my family love Cassidy’s. We go to NY every year for Christmas. This year we had a group of 23 and Seamus was able to accommodate us with a reservation. Our waiter was Joe C. ,who was great. It’s not easy waiting on a large group of people, but he was super patient and kind.“

“Awesome atmosphere and a great draft selection! The appetizers we got were excellent as well! The staff was friendly and had great energy 🩵 would go back in a heartbeat. The only bummer was they didn’t have smaller than 2XL shirts on hand at the time of our visit…I wanted one so bad 😂 Needless to say the shirts are great too! 100/10 recommend 🍻“

“The band, The Gyst were fantastic. They are a professional band, sound great, and I drove 3 hours to hear them play. The place and people loved them, I would suggest having them play at your establishment more often. The food was also phenomenal.“

“Nice friendly bar with a great choice of beers“

“Great place! Highly recommend.“

“Roger is awesome! Formula 1 races are on whenever there is one.“

“Great Staff.... Excellent Food...“

“I was always fond of dive bars so this was a pleasant experience. It’s a small bar so very intimate so you’ll get to know other patrons. Pretty much exactly what you would look for in lower east side during your college years looking for cheap drinks and conservation.

Crowd is friendly and it’s easy to park there actually if you plan on being the designated driver. I was here for a private birthday party so they will set up the bar for you and host an event. David’s is fun.“

“This place rocks … Blake and Jack know how to make a nice inviting bar ! They’ve done it for years“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Really solid sports bar on the UES. Great drink deals and the food is delicious. They have super crispy tater tots, onion rings, and fries. We usually order the buffalo chicken wrap or burger - both are good. Service can be a little slower (they don’t have a huge staff) but everyone is really nice. Ambience is good also.“

“chill spot. nice bartender. good music.“

“Oh my gosh! What a gem!!!! Landed in NYC and spotted Walkers and just had to go in. A fabulous bartender, Eugene shared a bunch of his favorite restaurants. And of course, his famous Presidents’ Day costume. The burger was great but the guests and the staff - out of this world!!! We will be back!!!“

“What an amazing neighborhood spot! Mark and Minh hosted us for a birthday event on a warm, sunny Saturday and we could not have been happier. First time visitors to Two Perry’s. We felt incredibly taken care of. Loved the cocktails (their resumes really show up in the menu) and the open facade offers the ideal vibe that really encapsulates everything I love about Ave C. Highly recommend checking it out, whether with a few friends or for something larger!“

“Food is okay, service is good, atmosphere is pleasant, though can get rather loud.
They have decent beer and cider on tap. Bathrooms are a bit cramped but useable. Menu has a decent number of choices on it and is reasonably priced for the area. Staff are helpful.“

“First time there and it was a fun time!“

“We needed someplace close prior to attending the Haunted Soiree at 60 Pine St. I had a Swiss and mushroom burger with their outstanding French fries. It was all a very good choice.“

“If you’re looking for the perfect local New York bar, this is it. Clean with a relaxed atmosphere and a nice selection of local beers on tap. I even got to meet owner Maggie and we had a nice chat about New York City.“

“Excellent food, great service and staff and very nice atmosphere.“

“Go to White Horse. Ask for Jordan.

My friend, his goldendoodle, and I wandered in on a Friday evening and ended up having one of those unexpectedly perfect little moments that make you feel great about living in New York. Jordan, our waiter, was such a pleasant person—attentive, easy, made us feel like we were the only table in the place.

Also: Dickies. The man was wearing Dickies. My friend said “I haven’t thought about Dickies since middle school, San Diego, 2000 and I respect it more than I probably should.” Great boots too.“

“Amazing experience here, server Megan was fantastic and very friendly, good and drinks 10/10! Thank you ☺️“

“I’ve been coming to donnybrook on and off for years and the bar never fails to meet expectations. Whether you wanna do some work on your laptop on a chill tuesday afternoon or watch a game on a busy thursday or dance in a packed room on friday or saturday, Donny has the best prices and bartenders in the LES. They are always fast and quick to help. Totally recommend especially for happy hour. One of the best deals in the LES.“

“Great staff, Great service, Great prices, always friendly and the security is always on point to make sure you are safe and comfortable.“
