    This is one of the best places I’ve ever been to. I’m so glad to be able to call myself a regular here! From the amazing ambiance, to the amazing food, amazing staff, amazing music, and don’t even get me started on how amazing the drinks are. Jeimison the bartender that’s usually here literally has made me the best drinks I’ve ever had in my life and truly adjusts the drinks to my favorite flavors and the exact taste I want! He has literally made me my favorite drinks I’ve ever had and named them after me. My birthday just recently passed and they sung to me and brought me a piece of birthday cake. Jeimison even made me my own gorgeous and delicious birthday drink. I’m so happy to have found this place and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone.

    It’s my third time in this place and I can say for sure it never fails me. The presentation and well balanced craft cocktails has given me a new definition of experience at a bar. Highly highly recommended.

    Everybody hates working in the office on Fridays . But what is the best thing of leaving the bank’s office on a Friday Afternoon? It is going to BH , hanging out with my friends, and spending the money that I havent received yet . LolPs: 5 stars to my favorite Latin barkeep Jonatas ❤️

  • Review 11 (2021-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Found this hidden gem for after work drinks! Its listed as speakeasy and while the bar itself isnt really hidden, Ive walked past it many times without realizing how modern and chic it is on the inside! The drinks and the bar staff were fantastic - will definitely be back soon now!

  • Review 12 (2023-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Step into this fancy bar, and prepare to be transported to a world of wonder! The ambiance is sophisticated and inviting, but the real magic happens when you order a drink. Mine ( Golden Sunset ) was truly unbelievable - expertly crafted and bursting with flavors that danced on my palate. I was blown away by the skill and creativity of the mixologists. If youre looking for a special night out or want to treat yourself, this bar is a must-visit. I cant wait to return and explore more of their innovative cocktail creations.

    I love this place, the music is always good, the bartenders are very friendly, they are always smiling, they can trust you, they know very well what they are doing and they treated me really well, plus I loved the new cocktail option. I highly recommend the place to go with friends and have a nice time

    Black Hound is the hidden gem of Battery Park! Amazing craft cocktails curated by the bartender Jameson who is amazingg at what he does! My favorite place to grab a delicious cocktail and relax!!

  • Review 19 (2023-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    I live across the street with my 2 sisters and we love black hound. The bartenders are so friendly and they make the yummiest and cutest instagramable cocktails. Safe area, super clean✨ vegan and gluten free options too

  • Review 20 (2024-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    This place is very chill, chic and able to have a good conversation with your colleagues and friends, great food and stunning craft cocktail!Romantic with the ambience and music, intimate place to take your other half on a date here.Jameson, and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and friendly.Highly recommend this new hidden gem in FiDi, 10/10

  • Review 21 (2016-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    I cant remember having better Kosher pizza than this. The customer service at the counter was also excellent and helped to mitigate the fact that in the chaos of a busy Saturday night, our order took too long to fill. (It was originally ready in time, but we were lost in the shuffle somehow, so we got our food late.)Very, very tasty pizza. Fries were good too.If youre in a group, consider the full pie, 2 fries and 2-liter bottle special for $21. Its available all week, including peak times.

    I went from a 5 star review to a 1 star review back to a 5 star review now. People make all the difference in why someone is comfortable in a bar situation.This is why Stephanie and Omar are the best! They know how to make you feel comfortable. They have made this bar my local Cheers.

  • Review 23 (2023-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    I was walking around looking for a good bar to hang out and have a few drinks after work and I found this little gem called the blackhound they have the best and unique drinks, they not only look great but the flavors will captivate you. The bar staff super attentive and able to recommend things from the menu and out of… definitely recommend. I have the golden sunset drink from the menu absolutely amazing and a cosmopolitan the looked and tasted delicious.

  • Review 24 (2024-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    I absolutely adore this cocktail bar—a true neighborhood gem. Jeimison, is a master of his craft! The energy strikes a perfect balance between sophistication and warmth, which is complemented by an incredibly friendly staff. It’s clear why this place is beloved by the community. A special shoutout to Jeimison for being my favorite bartender. Highly recommend! Get the White Jamaican / White Russian

    Just a tiny neighborhood bar

  • Review 27 (2023-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    Where can we start with this fantastic place? The bartender, Jeimison, is absolutely the best! Upon walking into this beautiful and cozy restaurant, he welcomed me with a beautiful smile. He recommended terrific cocktails, and the drinks he made exceeded my expectations. The food is delicious! The ambiance is everything!! Thank you, Blackhound, and I will definitely return.

  • Review 28 (2024-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely bar, delicious cocktails and Camille was great!

  • Review 29 (2019-10-22 - Rating: 4)

    Louise at the bar last night gave us excellent service and made us feel like regulars. The lounge is moreso into promoting its cocktails, so single glasses of wine are about the same price if not more as a fancy cocktail that would take 4-5x the amount of effort to create, which was a little odd.Overall, it was a very intimate spot, and while I didnt order any food, what the other patrons ordered looked delicious. It wasnt super crowded at the bar, and there was an entire very dimmly lit back lounge for quieter conversation. The ambiance felt a little redundant after a while, though, so my friend and I ended up leaving fairly soon. But perhaps thats to be expected on a Monday evening.Know before you go: lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Also, the views of downtown Manhattan and Jersey City from the surrounding neighborhood are absolutely breathtaking (and I say this as someone whos lived in NYC for five years).

  • Review 30 (2023-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    The place has incredible drinks and is cozy. When James told me there was no need to add sugar to the ladys drink, but it can be cute, I knew I was at the right place!

  • Review 31 (2019-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent experience, nice vibe, bartender was awesome, he brought me menu from next door when I couldnt find anything I was in the mood for..really nice spot, would be great for a date, business meet or quiet catch up..

    Cosy atmosphere.Good loungy music.Cocktails perfectly executed.Rather quiet place that let you speak to your neighbour without screaming.

  • Review 34 (2024-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    This place. What can I say. It’s such a special cocktail bar with the most incredible staff. Jeimison is a world class bartender who makes the BEST dirty martini in the city. The vibe is sophisticated but approachable. Truly such a special neighborhood spot.

    This was a great little Pub hidden in the mist of New York. It is a great place to stop by for a few well made cocktails and an authentic New York experience.

    Excellent neighborhood speakeasy turned cocktail bar. The drinks are themed on books by famous writers

    Gotta try the American Trilogy if you like a whisky cocktail. Great twist on an Old Fashioned

  • Review 41 (2017-09-08 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome cocktails. Good atmosphere

  • Review 42 (2022-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    We hosted a work happy hour here and they easily hosted ~65 people. Maya & the rest of the team were great (very attentive with food & drinks) and even let us stick around a little after our time ended. Thanks for helping us host a great event!

  • Review 43 (2022-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    My friends and I went in to the Black-hound at around 9pm and didn’t leave until they closed. The atmosphere of the place along with the staff (Jennifer & Omar) was amazing. We asked Jennifer to make us drinks of her choice and she did not disappoint. The staff was so friendly, they suggested us places to see and things to do. They made us feel so welcomed in the city. My friends and I ended up drinking about 8/9 drinks and shots and the bill came out to a total of $140 which is not bad at all.

  • Review 44 (2022-11-19 - Rating: 5)

    Fun Lil place thats bigger then you think. Happening atmosphere with eclectic music from a few decades ago. The food is fun and the drinks are cold. But the welcome is warm.

    Amazing staff, drinks and vibe! One of the best bars and restaurants in FiDi.

  • Review 50 (2019-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    A very nice relaxed ambience. Loved our bartender: she was so down to earth/chill and made phenomenal drinks. Food’s good too. Been here twice, both times great experiences. Will be returning!

  • Review 51 (2019-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    The most cozy and romantic atmosphere. Classy too.

  • Review 52 (2016-01-13 - Rating: 4)

    Very impressive cocktail menu, by far one of the most eclectic Ive seen in the area. The staff is very knowledgeable and gifted in concoction assembly. I had a crisp dry martini and a tundra-like applejack cocktail (offensively delicious. I will be back to imbibe again. So glad I walked in and gave this place a chance to impress me, it succeeded.

  • Review 53 (2018-09-04 - Rating: 4)

    This is a nice spot for after work drinks. They have a small room inside that is perfect for a small gathering or work event - it can fit 10-12 people. Drinks are good and the service is on point. It can be a bit expensive and at times a hit too loud.

  • Review 54 (2018-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice on ambience. More upscale bar with very good artisan style cocktails. The bartender was amazing and she took very good care of us. I recommend and would go back.

  • Review 55 (2015-11-22 - Rating: 4)

    Stopped in with a female friend and I must say, definitely a cool spot. Food was great (and very filling) and the drinks were mixed quite well. Anytime Im nearby I stop in since it has that relaxed lounge feel to it that I appreciate.

  • Review 56 (2017-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic (though pricey) little spot with a relaxed vibe, friendly bartenders, and excellent cocktails. The music wasnt too loud, unlike so many bars in the area. It was perfect for a small group (6-7 people) to hang out for a few hours after work.

  • Review 57 (2015-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely a hidden gem. The bar is easy to find once youre down there, but how often are you actually in the area? Spend some time in Battery Park, cruising around the island, and then retreat here for a house specialty cocktail.

  • Review 58 (2017-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Best bar downtown! Service is fantastic and the food is exceptional. Get the Samosas. Stop by for drinks and apps before a night out and you wont be disappointed.

  • Review 59 (2018-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    One of the BEST places in all of Manhattan for delicious speciality cocktails and the food is just delicious. The atmosphere is intimate and mood perfect. The staff is friendly and very attentive.

  • Review 60 (2014-12-25 - Rating: 5)

    Came here on Christmas Eve (evening), asked for a Tom & Jerrys - shot in the dark request - and our bartender Joey didnt hesitate to say he would serve that up. He worked to perfect the drink and nailed it! So refreshing to have someone work so hard for a slightly odd request! ; ) We havent tried the food, yet, but for ambience and service it scores a 5 from us!

  • Review 61 (2013-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    A LES style cocktail bar at the opposite end of the universe - Battery Park City. Seriously tasty creative cocktails and great, cozy lounge chairs in the back. Perfect for a chilly winters night or a too hot summer evening. The crowd is strangely very bridge and tunnely, but overall highly recommended!

  • Review 62 (2018-12-08 - Rating: 4)

    Smaller intimate spot , walked right in and found 4 seats. Good service from friendly bar staff. Would come back again for sure.

    Phenomenal bar, with brilliant staff. Sometimes there might be a bit of a wait for a drink but the menu and the bar tenders are worth it.Pan American Clipper has become my numbero uno cocktail thanks to this place.A real oasis of a bar in an area with little else to offer past 6pm.

  • Review 66 (2018-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    Chris is a fantastic, personable and entertaining bar tender. He knows how to make a drink and make you laugh. Very clean and well kept.

  • Review 67 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 4)

    This is one of our fav neighborhood places. I love that its not overcrowded or overrun with tourists. The experts at the bar take their cocktails seriously (as do I) and elevate the overall experience. Lovely cocktail menu with old favs and new inspirations.Ive taken one star off for ambiance. You guys need to get rid of the TV. Most nights its very chill - great, low lighting and music that fits the style of the place without being demanding (I hate places I have to yell to be heard). The TV at the bar really ruins the ambiance. Folks dont go to a speakeasy to watch TV, the news or a movie. Anyone who puts sports on should be fired immediately. Go next door (or any other pub in FiDi) if you want to catch a game.Blacktail, a new Cuban-speakeasy nearby will give Black Hound a run for its money. Im hoping it stays true to its intention and even pushes the speakeasy theme a bit more. Please keep an eye on the ambiance.
