Such a great bar, the cocktails are creative and brilliantly made. The atmosphere here is decent. Upmarket, buzzy but not pretentious.
Well worth a visit.

I made a reservation for a group of eight at 4:30 pm, and luckily, the only available seating for larger parties was the bench near the big window—precisely where I hoped to sit. The rest of the restaurant features intimate tables for two. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right amount of elegance.
We loved their cocktails, and every dish we sampled was outstanding. The service stood out as exceptional; our server was both attentive and charming. They were also very accommodating to one of my vegan friends, taking the extra step to ensure certain dishes met her dietary needs.
I highly recommend this spot if you're in search of a relaxed place to catch up with friends over delicious food and drinks.

The Wayland was a delightful discovery. I was captivated by the vintage charm and rustic vibe of the place. The cocktails I sampled were flavorful and perfectly balanced. Although I didn’t get a chance to try the food, the menu seemed intriguing. I’d certainly return just for the cocktails—they’re reason enough to visit.
I loved this happy hour! The oysters were not the freshest - but the salads were really good. HOPING they add French fries to the menu

Green drink marg was incredible. Great music, fast service, and good atmosphere but no A/C. Beware if you run hot. Will be back.

The Wayland has never not been a vibe - I've been coming here for years. Sitting at the bar with a refreshing Honeydew Spritz will turn your day right around. I love the open air atmosphere, and at night there is live music depending on the day. It's just a solid jumping off point for any night in the east village

We organized a party last weekend for my son's upcoming wedding. The open bar was great, and the drinks, like the espresso martini and old fashioned, were well made. We also enjoyed delicious food, including thick bread, cheeses, cold cuts, and tasty oysters. The staff were friendly and patient, helping make the event a success. This place has become a favorite with its amazing cocktails and cozy atmosphere.

If it’s possible to master the elusive art of bartending Jenny at the Wayland has done it. immaculate vibes, relaxed yet stylish decor, clean bathrooms, cold beer. All around excellent bar. Cheers ?
The Wayland was a pleasant surprise. I loved the vintage and rustic atmosphere. The cocktails I tried were tasty and well-balanced. I would definitely come back. The menu looked interesting; I didn't try the food, but the cocktails alone make it worth a visit.

Very cute restaurant. They open the front when the weather is nice which brings the outdoors in. They also have lovely sidewalk seating. It's not great for groups larger than 6 and even 6 it can be a bit tight. Happy hour menu is pretty good. Definitely a fun spot off the beaten path to meet up with friends or a casual date night.
