We came on a weekday night for the restaurant week and the food & cocktails were amazing! We live in the neighborhood and this is by far the best kept secret. We’ll definitely be back.
Stopped by before meeting a friend and the entrance is giving Center Stage. The bar has 360 seating with roughly 20 brown tall leather stools. The artwork is nice to get lost into; there were a few beer recipes, prohibition pieces and other NYC landmarks.I had the Baby Wedge Salad; bacon, blue cheese, vine tomatoes, price 16It was a great presentation and they dressed it HEALTHILY which I love. The bacon was crisp and the blue cheese was complex. Highly recommend this dish even...
I think this is good if you’re going to a show in the Public or looking for something quiet and empty on a Saturday before dinner.Other than that, drinks were just okay and service was little pushy (she came over to ask us if we wanted anything to eat 3 times).
