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.“

“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.“

“fun place.............................“

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

“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“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
GMT Tavern is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, stylish, and welcoming. The service is outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling rushed.

The food is exceptional, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients, and the menu offers something for everyone. Drinks are equally impressive, perfectly balanced and served with care.

Whether you’re there for a relaxed meal, a special occasion, or a night out, GMT Tavern delivers a top-tier dining experience. Highly recommended and well deserving of five stars!

If you want it shorter, more casual, or more luxurious, tell me the vibe and I’ll tweak it.“

“We dropped in for a drink and a quick snack before seeing ASSSSCATS at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater across the street! It was a cute busy Friday and the place was happening! Beautiful people everywhere! The wings were fantastic! My husband had a non-alcoholic drink and I had a fancy cocktail! Definitely a cute spot for the winter but it looks like a grand spot for the warmer months with their outdoor seating! Highly recommend!“

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

“Found this absolute gem of a place when looking for an authentic dive bar in NYC. What can I say, this place has it all. Jamie and Reggie are possibly the most chill bartenders in NYC with an amazing eye for making people feel welcome.

The bar has plenty of regulars who swing by many times a week. The customers are mostly between the age of 21–35, which definitely makes David's a good spot to make new friends. It doesn't really matter if you're looking for a cool place to hang out with a friend or traveling by yourself. Just sit at the bar, you'll be having a conversation in no time. The domestic beers are 5$, so a steal in that regard too.

Will sure visit again when I make it back to NYC from Finland.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Not only were the pours generous and the service attentive, the regulars in for the Steelers vs. Ravens game were delightful. I wanted to take a second to shout out the bartender Zoe for going the extra mile. Will be back when next in town.“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

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

“Jasper’s Tap House and Kitchen was a great find. The smash burger was excellent—perfectly cooked with great flavor—and the fries were crispy and delicious. We also tried the pretzel bread, which was a nice addition and very good. Overall a really enjoyable meal in a relaxed setting. Definitely a spot worth stopping into if you’re nearby. 🍔🍟“

“Popped in this Irish bar after a recommendation by Prince who does the Go Hybrid NYC pedicab tours. It was a freezing cold day and was nice to enter a warm pub with friendly staff that knows how to run a good Irish pub! I had a few local beers and some loaded potato skins that were very nice!“

“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.“

“Natalie the bartender! Nuff said.“
