Four of us wanted to eat there last night - Saturday 9:30 pm. Inside, the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. Outside, there was plenty of room but the server said that all the outdoor tables would close at 9:45pm and we would have to move inside at that time. We ended up at another restaurant down the street where the outdoor dining stayed open later.

I really appreciate how spacious this spot is! They have specials/events throughout the week, including a Wednesday wine bottle special that's a great price. To be honest, I disliked both cocktails I ordered but liked all the others that my friends got so that's probably on me đ Service was friendly and not overbearing. Will be coming back!

Amazing staff (especially Irish woman!)! Great place to hang out and get a drink. Happy hour has great deals! 10/10 recommend!

I went to Half Pint during happy hour, every week or two, for almost a year (2024-2025). It appears that ownership has changed sometime around April 2025 so reviews from before then are probably not accurate anymore.
The crowd around 4-6 pm is mostly groups of students coming in for the happy hour cocktails (espresso martinis or Aperol spritzes). It used to fit into the âslightly upscale university barâ vibe a little more prior to the change (ie. a place student go for drink specials but also professors for a cocktail). Now it seems to be rebranding as a sports bar with team flags hanging outside and games on the televisions/speakers. But itâs not entirely a sports bar with the expected drinks/bar food to match. The menu and drink changes donât make sense. The new servers are inexperienced and awkward (some experienced ones are still there).
The mixed drinks are inconsistent (sometimes undrinkable) and the beer list on the website didnât match what they actually serve (as of late May 2025). The landing page has a quote saying âserious beer barâ but they might have 2-3 beers that are outside the normal NY beers you get everywhere (Goose Island, Brooklyn, etc.) The server had to keep checking if certain beers were in stock.
The food options are not great and donât fit the new (or old) vibe. Cashew Brussel sprouts, barbacoa tacos, and Bavarian pretzel bites ($14 for a couple pretzel bites and a small dipping sauce)??? What is the theme here? One dish from each country a student might come from? At the outside seating, the silverware kept falling through the slatted table, likely because the plates were tiny and the silverware was handle-heavy.
Unless youâre coming specifically for the two happy hour cocktails they serve, there are other places in the area that excel at having a vibe/menu/drinks that will fit together into a more pleasant experience.

Coctails where decent. Prices aren't shown anywhere. Music was good, loud.
I came here for drinks đș and an NYU trivia night. Had fun, good bar service. Would recommend for a night out in the city.

I came here with a friend on a late Friday night. We got a seat around the corner from the bar and had a nice time chilling and chatting. I ordered an Old Fashioned.
