Happy hour very limited
We stopped in The Headless Widow on our last night in NYC while walking through the neighborhood. The happy hour special and atmosphere drew us in. The music was great, loud enough to fit the vibe and have privacy from nearby tables but not so loud you need to yell.
We didn’t love our happy hour cocktails Botanical Disco and Time Traveler as they were heavier on the fresh citrus than we prefer (certain cocktails are HH priced).
We debated trying to get into the speakeasy next door but knowing it would be packed and not wanting to judge THW on their happy hour specials, we decided to hold onto our table and gave a few more cocktails a shot. So glad we did! My absolute favorite was the lip gloss. The essence sprayed to finish it and the sugar rim perfectly complimented the sweet, juicy cocktail. The essence made the stem of the coupe glass a little sticky, however it’s served with a wet towel and well worth it! I had 3 of those! My husband liked the Blacker The Berry as his favorite of the night. He described it as an upscale slightly spiced sangria. We also tried Smokey & The Bandit, Passenger Princess + Hubbs ordered a regular old fashioned with Makers. All very good! Service was top notch on a busy night. If you’re heading there for a drink before going next door, stay a while! We stayed for hours and explored the menu for a fraction of the price next door and didn’t feel like we missed out whatsoever.

More a dive bar than a cocktail bar. Very loud, packed and slow service. The drink were good though - recommend high tea

Food was a bit greasy but okay. Drinks were basic. Nothing special. They don't make a lot of the drinks on the menu and or google. Ordered 3 different drinks but they all tasted like lime juice.

Great place to hangout with great staff. Security guard made us feel safe and he was very attentive toward our needs. Shout to John the bouncer who was very friendly and professional. Great hangout spot to be at.

Plenty of better bars in the area, try Mr Paradise two doors down, at least you won't get sick there.

Best cocktails that I’ve ever had — no exaggeration. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional & inviting. Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. I will be coming back here every single time I’m in the city! HIGHLY recommend.

From my experience, Headless Widow has been nothing short of an amazing experience and fun time. The vibes are always on point! The bartenders are friendly and engaging! And the crowd is a great mix of 20-30 something’s in large groups looking to unwind or couples on dates scattered around the
