“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated.

Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“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“

“What an incredible experience at The Malthouse! From the moment I arrived, Molly made us feel welcome with her friendly personality, professionalism, and exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish exceeded our expectations, and it's clear that great care goes into both the menu and the overall dining experience.

Molly's outstanding hospitality combined with the fantastic food made for a memorable visit. We will definitely be back and highly recommend The Malthouse to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and top-notch service!“

“Wunderbar! Sehr empfehlenswert!!!“

“sometimes really fun good time...however if Nicole doesn't like you or is having a bad day stay clear!, but it's part of her charm I guess. eh try it out it's a absolute dive bar environment, the surrounding neighborhood has alot going on too, so u can make a day out of it. ✌️“

“Don’t think twice …go checkout this local gem! Not fancy, but warm, cozy, oh so friendly staff and amazingly affordable. Our bartender/server KP was a rare find.“

“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.“

“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.“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“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!“

“The Stumble in is one of my go to spots when I'm in the neighborhood. Good selection of beers on tap, fantastic burgers and onion rings, been slinging tasty wings since it was Moe's way back in the day and attentive bartenders. If you're in the neighborhood and don't know where to go, give them a try. You won't be disappointed,“

“Highly recommend this place, we stumbled in by accident and ended up staying all night to watch the basketball playoffs. Great service by the bar staff and fantastic food and drinks. We had the steak sandwich and fries and it was 10/10. Got speaking to the owner, John, who couldn’t do enough for us. We enjoyed it that much we returned a second evening during our trip. Don’t miss out if you are in the neighbourhood“

“Had à great brunch at PJ and so appreciate our fabulous server Fabiola! She was GREAT!!!!“

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

“Such a wonderful experience! It’s our first time in New York and this bar was a short walk from our hotel. We came here on our first night and loved it so much that we ended up coming every night we were in town. Definitely a must visit! Try the french onion soup!“
