    Such an incredible bar with fantastic food, drinks, natural wine, and absolutely amazing staff!The Cafe Skye team is incredible for private parties especially and work so closely with you to make everything customized to your event. Do not sleep on the sliders either - best in the city!

    My friends and I so enjoyed our time so much so that I needed to remind them quite a few times we really needed to make our way out the door for closing lol. The staff were so hospitable, friendly and attentive. They really went above and beyond to make the night perfect for us. Food and drinks were amazing Cam is really helpful and kind. Together we came up with a menu and even a signature drink for the evening. I also really loved that the staff allowed me to play my own music which was a lot of fun for us too! Looking forward to hosting another event here in the future and I highly recommend to anyone!

    Omg amazing. Happy Hour: $4 Beer. $10 Burger. Small, intimate. Good date spot. Really cool bartender Mathew playing super chill music. Waitress Ashley super attentive and detailed. Hidden gem. Go here and then listen to live music at Rockwood Music Hall nearby.

    Amazing scenery, swiftly yet concentrated made drinks, and a homey environment! Tell the bartender what you like, and he makes a custom like drink just for you! Amazing food that I couldn’t stop shoving into my mouth! There’s a really vast selection!

    My favorite spot in the east village! It’s neighborhoody and intimate without sacrificing quality. I always get great service and have tried everything on the menu at this point and everything is spectacular. Cocktails are awesome too

  • Review 6 (2024-01-19 - Rating: 5)

    Had an absolutely amazing experience. Perfect for a small group gathering or a first date.The staff was extremely cordial, warm, and attentive. The food selection was a perfect balance between small bites to full course meals.Furthermore, the specialty cocktail options were amazing. You could tell they were crafted and mixed by a very talented bar staff. The Skyeloma was my favorite!Not only did my group have a great night, we also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the cafe whom took the time to sit down and speak to us. We were even presented an aperitif courtesy of the house!Now on my list of NYC favorites. Definitely recommend.Thank you for such a great night!

    I cant say enough about the incredible experience our group had at Cafe Skye for our engagement party. Cameron, the owner, made us feel incredibly special from the moment we walked in. The attention to detail and personalized service truly made our celebration unforgettable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the drinks were a hit with all of our guests. Thank you, Cafe Skye, for making our engagement party a day to remember!

  • Review 9 (2024-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    Nothing but great things to say about Cameron and his team. We hosted a birthday party with 23 guests and the space was absolutely perfect for us. Cameron was so easy to work with and everyone had a really awesome time. Cant recommend enough for private events. We will definitely be back!

    We happened to walk past this bar and it looked so lovely and welcoming that we went in. Ended up staying for a couple of beers and cocktails, including probably the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. Really nice staff too. Well worth a stop, great drinks, great music, lovely staff.

    Very cozy and chill spot in a hip area. The staff are very kind and friendly. Loved the creative house cocktails! Great place to relax and enjoy a drink with loved ones!

  • Review 16 (2024-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    The friendliest staff and the best happy hour, hands down! Victor, Matt and Cam are a phenomenal crew who do it all. From their Saturday brunch to Tuesday night trivia, they do it all with skill and finesse. Never been disappointed by their seasonal changes to their menu. If there’s a place in this neighborhood to become a regular, it’s here

  • Review 17 (2022-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    The owner is amazing and throws a tibia night every Tuesday that is super fun. Their twist on an espresso martini is so yummy and comes with this piece of truffle gouda that creates a really unique drinking experience. Def recommend!

  • Review 18 (2021-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    Super cozy spot for drinks! Cool drink menu, very unique and tasty!

    What a terrific neighborhood place!We had brunch today and the dishes, Crabcake Benedict, Prosciutto Benedict , Shortrib skillet hash and lemon ricotta pancake were wonderful…. Bloody Mary’s, spicy to our taste!! Great place look forward to going back !!!

  • Review 21 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic drinks. The hand cut fries are out of this world. Love the bartender Matt - super attentive and friendly!

  • Review 22 (2022-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is a nice and cozy spot in a very high traffic area. The staff are attentive and treat you like a regular, even on your first visit. The atmosphere really they create is typical of older joints in the city, in that they can get everyone conversing with each other, making you feel like a member of the community any time you step in. The drinks, with fresh and often house made ingredients, and delicious food top off this spot as a must see. Stop by for trivia on Tuesday’s and wine flights on Wednesday’s. They only serve natural wine and are knowledgeable on their selections.

  • Review 23 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    Hosted a session of my album listening club here and our group had a great experience! Awesome ambience, great food and drink menu, amazing service, and Cameron even worked with us ahead of time to get offer a custom cocktail and menus for the event.

  • Review 24 (2022-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Such a lovely spot for a drink and bites! The vibe is so great, indoors and out. Cameron was our server all night, and turns out hes the owner! Everything is great here and worth the stop.

  • Review 25 (2024-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing place with great service and options for whatever you’re in the mood to eat or drink.

  • Review 26 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    The quality and charm at Cafe Skye makes it the diamond of LES. Youll find yourself stopping in for happy hour and staying until the place closes down. The cocktails are excellent and the food is amazing (the burger and the plum shrimp are my go-to)!

  • Review 27 (2022-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    This place is classy. Got drinks with a friend who was from out of town to catch up before we go out to a dancy bar later at night. loved the cocktails (I had Skyeloma and the friend got wildflower). Quick bites also seemed delicious.

  • Review 28 (2022-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    A gem of the LES!! Perfect for dinner with friends. Also great if you’re only looking for drinks/snacks— tasty cocktails, natural wine, and craft beer galore. Not to mention, the staff rocks!!

    Visited to use Summer tippler. Drinks were good. Staff was great! We had desserts. Husband loved banana bread.

  • Review 34 (2022-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Chris was our server and he was really nice to us. Orange wine was 7/10 but the prosecco was 9/10, really strong. We also got the banana bread and chocolate molten lava cake— both of which were good and served with vanilla ice cream. Cute date night spot

  • Review 35 (2022-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    A very charming spot with a lovely daily happy hour!We sat by the bar and enjoyed getting to know the bartenders. The daily happy hour was a nice bonus as they didnt advertise it on the website. Try the whiskey sour; it was so delicious.Will return again for the food next time!

  • Review 54 (2022-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    A total gem and great neighborhood spot for visitors and locals alike.The cafe is on the smaller side and feels very intimate and cozy. They have some really great cocktail selections, with a daily Happy Hour (which is amazing to have compared to most places in NY) from 4-7, and a cool rotating wine flight deal on Wednesdays.I’ve loved the food that I’ve tried so far, both from the brunch and dinner menu. And the staff is very sweet and attentive. Love this spot!

  • Review 57 (2022-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IN EVERY WAY!!! My friends and I were trying to find a good place to eat, and we stumbled on this hidden gem!!! The food was AWESOME, from the Tuna Tartare to their wonderful chicken entree! Cameron, the owner, went out of his way to make sure that everything was perfect for us, and our waiter, Matthew,, went above and beyond! I highly recommend this restaurant! Such a pleasant and wonderful surprise! LOVED IT!!

    Great selection of natural wines, great ambiance.

  • Review 59 (2022-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    A MUST hit if you are in the city. A cozy cocktail bar with great vibes and delicious bites. The pretzel bites are to die for but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We paired our food with a light natural wine and they offer a unique rotating selection so we will certainly be back soon!

  • Review 60 (2022-05-22 - Rating: 5)

    Charming spot in a fantastic location. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I was in town for the week staying in Lower East Side and ended up coming back here multiple times! Excellent selection of beer and enjoyed the atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town

  • Review 68 (2022-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    Hip neighborhood bar with a fantastic kitchen. Make their own vermouths, liquor soaked garnishes, and feature high-end craft spirits at an affordable price.

  • Review 69 (2021-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    A charming oasis from the hustle and bustle of NYC. Service was great and staff is extremely friendly. Cocktail menu is abundant and unique (modern twist on your classic drinks). My go-to spot for date-night!

  • Review 70 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    The true gem of the lower east side. Among the LES’s sea of generic Donnybrooks and Pianos, Cafe Skye is where you go when you want to feel like your drinking at home. The cocktails and food are fantastic (and criminally underpriced during happy hour). The staff is amazing and ensures that Cafe Skye feels “Cafe Home” every time I drop in (which is quite often).
