    Jungle Bird delivers in every regard — the drinks, apps, service are amazing, the environment is lovely and relaxing. The bartender is an artist. Details matter — from hooks for bags to the restrooms. The best. Every bar should be like this one I’d come back anytime and likely will.

    Inventive cocktails, surprisingly well executed food for a more bar centric spot, and fun tropical decor.Certainly not quiet, but despite often being crowded, table service has always been excellent and efficient.Extra kudos to the nice bathrooms.

  • Review 3 (2024-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    My friends and I headed there after work on Friday evening. We had made a reservation in advance, so securing a table wasnt a problem. By 6 PM, the place was fairly crowded, though there were still a few open spots at the bar. They also offer outdoor seating.We ordered cocktails, Jell-O shots, and a few appetizers. Our waiter was fantastic—attentive without being intrusive.The cocktails were tasty, the French fries were excellent, but the shots were the real highlight.Prices are a bit on the higher side, with cocktails costing around $20 and appetizers ranging from $20 to $25.

    We didn’t eat but made it a cocktail stop before dinner. Both drinks, the jungle bird and a banana cocktail I had were on point.Atmosphere was very lively and fun on a Saturday night. Good spot to get a table with friends.

    Wonderful experience! Randi was incredibly hospitable and such a sweet host! She showed us the second floor and the energy was great. Had a fun time the ambiance was amazing. Drinks were strong too! Definitely a good spot for a Friday night after a crazy work week!

    Our company had our Holiday party here and it was great! Love the milk buns, jello shots were soo good! Wonderful vibes and fun and friendly service!

  • Review 7 (2024-10-03 - Rating: 5)

    Vibes are so high here. Love the aesthetic, the music is so good and cocktails are beautifully hand crafted. Came here with a few girls and sat at the bar, perfect for a small group or date night.

  • Review 8 (2024-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    Went there with my friends after work on Friday night. We did make a reservation ahead so had no issues to get a table there. It was relatively busy around 6PM but there were available spots at the bar. They also have some outdoor diningWe ordered cocktails, Jell-O shots and some appetizers. Our waiter was amazing, he did not bother us every minute yet was attentive when we called him.Cocktails were good, French fries very good but best were shots.Prices are a little on the higher end, around $20 for cocktails and $20-25 appetizers.

  • Review 9 (2022-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful drinks. Good selection of customized cocktails. The drinks were made to perfection, good balance of mixtures and just the right amount of alcohol. The service is also exceptional, the staff is very friendly even with the busy environment. The atmosphere is pretty lively here, music not too loud so you can definitely have a decent conversation. The cocktail prices are standard, $16-18 range. Definitely be back for that angry bird.

  • Review 10 (2022-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Love Jungle bird! It’s a great spot for happy hour, a night cap, or even a bite to eat because the food is awesome. I love their jungle fries and the crunch chickpeas. The Bahn mi sandwich is a must try if you’re a fan of these sandwiches. The cocktails are delicious too. One of my favorites is the Like a Prayer made with Espero Blanco Tequila, Cappelletti Apertivo, Giffard Passionfruit, Montenegro Amaro, Lime on the rocks. It’s a perfect place to host events as well as they have a private room upstairs.

  • Review 11 (2019-05-22 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful cocktails and food in a stunning bar setting. Walking in feels like stepping out of Manhattan and landing in San Juan. The house Junglebird cocktail is the best version of the classic Ive ever tasted, and the zero proof cocktails are next level!

  • Review 12 (2019-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    Super cute spot for happy hour! Very lively and fun. Discovered their additional bar upstairs which was a good find, but as an FYI it can get pretty loud. Really loved their decor and menu though. Had a really yummy spicy margarita drink for happy hour ($10) that I’ll be back for.

  • Review 13 (2019-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Really great Cuban themed bar! The drinks are unique and delicious! The food is delightful and fun. The staff was great while I was there as well. It also wasn’t too crowded on a Thursday night so you could still have a conversation with the people your with!

  • Review 14 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    Nice staff and good tapas-style food. Our bartender was super nice and helpful with the recommendations. Try their crunchy chickpeas!!! I could eat a whole bowl of these. We tried the Glory Box and I Wanna Be Adore cocktails, incredible gin cocktails (if you like sweet gin cocktails go for the second one).

  • Review 15 (2022-08-04 - Rating: 4)

    Good quick bites and strong drinks. Staff are friendly and on point 👍🏼 good happy hour spot. make reservations for better seating.

    Super chill spot. The food was amazing and I discovered my new favorite cocktail. The food was on a different level. The staff was on point and the atmosphere was relaxed. Hard to find places like this in NYC. You won’t regret stopping by for a few drinks and good food.

  • Review 19 (2023-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    Our host/waiter was wonderful and the drinks were incredibly delicious and well balanced. Clean and cute and not pretentious at all! The espresso martini I had was by far one of the best I have drank! Thank you for hosting us and making us feel so special and welcomed.

    Food/Drink 8/10We walked in and there was space, but this was also back in 2021. I just realized I had this review in my drafts but never posted it. I remember we ordered some Asian inspired snacks along with our drinks, such as the Taiwanese chicken poppers and shrimp skewers, and those were great. The drinks menu was also very tasty.Atmosphere 9/10Vibey and energetic, a cool atmosphere.Service 7/10There’s not much service to remember, since it’s a bar and I think everything came quite quickly as we sat near a bar area.

  • Review 21 (2021-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved jungle bird! Great drinks! Recommend the velvet rope, really unique drink with great balance in flavor. Not too sweet but sweet enough on the palate. For something slightly sweeter, go for the kiss from the rose, very refreshing roseand lemon. Excellent. Also loved the habenero one with grapefruit but I forget the name. Slightly spicy.Bar itself had some nice music and gorgeous looks.

  • Review 22 (2024-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    I loved this place. It doesnt have tons of seating but its comfortable. They have great cocktails. I had the Shrimp Skewers. The Shrimp was cooked to perfection. My friend ordered some dumplings which were very tasty. The decor is nice. The atmosphere is chill. The service is quick. Its not cheap to eat and drink here but its not too expensive for the neighborhood of Chelsea. I would come back.

  • Review 23 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    The bartenders are super friendly, which is nice when youre drinking solo. Drinks are good, but not strong. Neat bar with a good vibe. I shall return.

  • Review 24 (2023-03-16 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly staff, amazing food, and even better cocktails. Whats more is that the vibe is very cool and comfortable.

  • Review 25 (2024-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been to Jungle Bird a few times. This year, I hosted a private event there, and it surpassed all my expectations. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Organizing the event was a breeze, and as always, the food was delicious and the drinks exceptional! I highly recommend this place for dates, corporate events, or celebrations with friends!

  • Review 26 (2023-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    We had been trying to go to another bar which had a private event and the doorman there told us to check out Jungle Bird and heck yeah that was the right move.There were a lot of people, but it also wasnt super packed. Just the right amount of crowd for a Wednesday night.Between our group we tried the Baby One More Time, the MMMBop the Devil I know, the Jungle Bird, the I Melt With You, and then probably more but I cant really remember.What I do remember is everything we drank was phenomenal. Inventive spins on things youve had, new things you hadnt even tried before. It was a great stop and a great addition to our evening!

  • Review 27 (2023-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    I was recommended to reach out to Jungle Bird for a last minute company holiday party. We were so lucky to be able to grab one of their last available dates of the season. The Canopy Room for events is absolutely gorgeous! Such a warm and elegant space. We had very little time to plan and we were so grateful everything was really turn-key. Thank you to the events manager Marissa for helping us put this together and being so easy to work with. She was a real gem! Shout out the the awesome staff who took care of us that night (Roy, Patricia and Mario!).The drinks were top notch and so many people complimented on the food (we ordered Pork Bao Buns, Edamame and Chicken Dumplings, Jungle Fries, Chicken Satay and Veggie Spring Rolls).I hope to be able to host events here in the future and would highly recommend to others!

  • Review 28 (2019-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty busy place during after work hours and a great vibe to hang out with a few friends. Definitely stop by if you’re looking for a drink or two. The music is a bit loud for having a conversation with your friends and the bartending staff was a bit understaffed. I’d probably stop by again during a less busy time.

  • Review 29 (2024-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Got there at 4:30 and there and there were already a fee people there. The happy hour menu is nice but we decided to just stick to the regular menu, the fries were nice with lemon, parmesan, red peppers and a spicy aioli, the “I wanna be adored” had a wonderful rose flavor, the old fashioned was great and the black velvet was great. The fried chicken was great.

  • Review 30 (2024-02-29 - Rating: 5)

    Jungle bird is a whole VIBE! I need their playlist immediately! The mock tails were tasty, but don’t order the pink— taste like the syrup you leave maraschino cherries in. However, our server Anji was a treat! Attentive, friendly, and accommodating! We ordered some tapas: edamame dumplings, French fries, shishito peppers, and hummus with market veggies. Let’s not forget to mention the star of the show, the butternut squash dumplings (pan seared). Chefs kiss! Highly pleased with the vegan friendly options and the ability to maintain an elevated, but high energy atmosphere!

  • Review 31 (2024-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Bartender was amazing. Friendly, talented, kept refilling waters as soon as we drank them. The Devil I Know cocktail was delicious. Will be back

  • Review 32 (2024-02-02 - Rating: 5)

    Jungle Bird is where I celebrated my birthday party. The drinks and staff were great. Very affordable and the atmosphere was a vibe. My friends are still talking about how fun it was.

  • Review 33 (2023-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    I went here around 5:30 on a Saturday. The bar had seats open. The cocktails were very delicious. We ordered fries and the shrimp skewers. Delicious. Great small bites. Got busy but never felt rushed. Great for a date night or just fun cocktails.

  • Review 34 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun spot! the drinks were pure classics. The small bites were surprisingly delicious. Tried the dumplings, sliders and satay they were perfect portions and simply good!

  • Review 35 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 4)

    Trendy Cocktail bar with a solid combination of good music and well-prepared cocktails that make for a safe meet-up spot. $20 a drink. 4/5 stars as a day bar.

  • Review 36 (2024-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    It’s a cocktail bar but the food is even more impressive. You won’t find chili fried chickpeas anywhere else

  • Review 37 (2024-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great drinks, great service

  • Review 38 (2023-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun place with zero proof drinks and gluten free food options!! This place checked off ALL the boxes and was exactly what we were looking for!!Super fun vibe with beautiful plants, decor, candles, and a great place to catch up with friends!All the staff was extremely friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the menu.I went with 1 other person and we tried their zero proof cocktails. Two of the three were wonderful. One was a little lack luster (said there was elderflower but we didn’t taste it and it felt like a fancy lemonade).The menu was clearly marked with GF for all the gluten free options! We got the fries even through they weren’t marked GF. They use a shared fryer, so decide for yourself.All in all, such a wonderful experience and I’ll be recommending to everyone!!

  • Review 39 (2023-09-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great cocktail bar in the middle of manhattan. delicious drinks and a low-lit casual atmosphere. always see many first/second dates here. not the best place for a big group since its always so crowded.

  • Review 40 (2021-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    Cute little spot with delicious cocktails. I especially enjoyed the one that is served with pink peppercorns. The food portions are pretty small - I loved the shrimp skewers but think they were a little overpriced. Also, if you order a draft beer, it will be served in a very small chalice so it’s not much. I would definitely come back - the quality is good, just expect to pay a bit more for less.

  • Review 41 (2023-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    Cannot say enough great things about Jungle Bird! We went earlier in the night on NYE and sat at the bar for some cocktails and snacks - our drinks were outstanding and the food was good too. The fried garlic on top of the fries stole the show for me, ha! The service was attentive but not overbearing. Perfect night all around. I cant wait to come back!

  • Review 42 (2021-08-06 - Rating: 4)

    Overall, its been a while since Ive been to some place new. This was a friends go to place and she wanted me to check out this place with her. Love the decor and music! Bartenders were great! My only complaint and why its 4 stars, they wouldnt let us sit at a table when the place was half empty. They said every table was reserved which may have been true but half the tables stayed empty our entire time there. Had we had more space to sit comfortably, we may have stayed longer and had an actual dinner meal there instead of just bar snacks.

  • Review 43 (2021-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    We stopped in here during out honey moon in PR. The cocktails are soo fun and so tasty! A little sweet, but worth the experience. We had great service out on the patio. We did not eat but the menu and the food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Thanks for having us!

  • Review 44 (2022-04-21 - Rating: 5)

    Make a reservation! This place fills up quickly. On a Wednesday night too!!The Taiwanese chicken was amazing. Sweet and spicy. The fries were unique too. My friend got the crispy tempura sandwich.

  • Review 45 (2024-12-10 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely a great Cocktail Bar. Different and delicious drinks, great Happy Hour. Get the Thai Chili Crunchy Chickpeas

  • Review 46 (2021-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    First and foremost this is a 20 something, 30 something crowd. Nice, if youre looking for very loud music (which at times you will feel like you have to yell over) and a trendy scene. Spending a birthday celebration there as an over 40, (also with no acknowledgement of the birthday, even though I specifically put that in the reservation details), maybe not the best choice. The draw was the vegan/vegetarian menu and interesting cocktails. Smashed cucumbers and the jicama salad were excellent. Super tasty fries as well. Hummus needed a little work. Service was excellent and the cocktails did not disappoint. Overall still a very good time.

    Everytime I come to NY I have to visit Jungle Bird. They make fantastic cocktails, and I havent ever been disappointed with the food. Normally I have an entre but tonight my coworkers and I enjoyed a tapas style meal.Kudos on having a vegan option for my friend and other delicious options for the rest of the group. Everything was so good we ordered a second round of food and the cocktails were delicious.Definitely recommend if youre visiting or even a local.

  • Review 51 (2022-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely delicious appetizers and large plates! I had the “I wanna be adored” drink and while the rose water gave it a delicate finish - the gin provided a dramatic tangy flavor that made it enjoyable. The bartender also had plenty of flair and seemed to love what he was doing! Our waitress was super nice and answered all our questions. She also passed on our compliments to the chef!! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and would definitely come back. The bathrooms were spotless and decor was very sleek yet inviting. Amazing team at this spot. Thank you for providing such a warm, memorable experience!

  • Review 52 (2023-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    I cant say enough good things about this place! Cocktails are fan-friggin-tastic. Unsurprisingly, this place can get busy, so consider coming early before dinner.

  • Review 59 (2019-06-16 - Rating: 4)

    Menu is inventive but not so inventive that it was weird. Good fusion. We got the special of the day which was the fried chicken with Thai Cole slaw I think. Crispy and flavorful and tender. Just wish it was more than just one piece of the breast. The veggies with were tasty. Got the house jungle punch. Worth it. Only complaint is the place is unnecessarily loud. When we first walked in for dinner, the music was blaring to the point where we had to scream like we were in a club. They turned it down eventually to a more normal level.

  • Review 60 (2019-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    Happy Hour is fabulous here. The chicken banh mi was tasty without being too fusion. Didn’t try the cocktails and had a beer instead (German). Atmosphere and service is very lovely!

    The jungle bird punch is delicious and not too sweet. Also they have a great Guinness pour.

  • Review 62 (2022-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    I thought the I Wanna Be Adored couldn’t be topped but then I got the barefoot in the park. We loved everything.That said, we weren’t there for the food and we’re blown away by the great flavors and textures. Bao buns are a must as are the Cucumbers. The only thing I thought was ok was the potstickers. Go with pan fried not deep fried.

    I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding after party at Jungle Bird that exceeded all expectations!First and foremost, the space itself was absolutely stunning. From the moment we entered, we were captivated by the bars elegant and stylish decor.But what truly made this venue stand out was the incredible staff. From the moment we made the initial inquiry to the final moments of our event, the team demonstrated utmost professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our party was flawlessly executed.Overall, I cannot recommend Jungle Bird enough whether its for hosting a private event or just stopping by for a cocktail.A HUGE shoutout to Marissa Cheshier for being our amazing point person throughout the whole process --- youre the best!

    Stumbled here after our first option had an 1.5 hour wait time, but were surprised to have a 10minute wait time for a table of 5 at 9:30 :)Quickly fell in love with the ambiance of Jungle Bird, and had no idea there was a lounge area (will definitely return to try). From the outside reminded me of a Miami vibe, and even more so with their tropical and jazzy decor. The drinks were amazing, I tried an espresso martini and it did not disappoint, and Like a Prayer was tasty.Service was prompt, and attentive. Will definitely return :)(No rating on the food as I didnt try any of their food options)

    Good vibes here with plenty of disco music and excellent wine.There was good variety in the food. The staff were friendly and competent. My only complaint is that someone changed the disco music at ~9pm, to some sort of mish-mash Billboard 100 from the last 20 years. Disco is great, dont mess with a winning formula.

    Great spot for drinks and small bites. The staff here was incredibly friendly and very attentive! There is a great selection of craft beers and nicely made cocktails. I didn’t get a chance to eat, but I heard great things about the food that my friends tried.One of the bartenders even brought us a round of complimentary drinks. It was a treat. I highly recommend Jungle Bird to anyone who looking for a good, lively, time!

    Went to Jungle Bird for a work happy hour, had a great time. Drinks were well crafted and small bites were flavorful

  • Review 103 (2024-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    Jungle Bird serves craft cocktails in a much more casual atmosphere than some is the city’s more cloistered speakeasies — and that’s a great thing. The cocktails on the menu may have curious and adventurous ingredients and guffaw-inducing names (“I’m Old Fashioned”, “Cigarettes and Sex”), but each one we tried was strikingly well-balanced and nicely presented. The food is Asian fusion, which would seem an odd fit and a turn-off — except that it was really good. The happy hour chicken and ginger pan-fried dumplings were exceptional, and the Thai-chili deep-fried chickpeas were addictive.Jingle Bird is a fantastic place to meet up after work in whatever you’re wearing. Just make a reservation and don’t plan to loiter. They firmly reminded us to leave once our two-hour reservation allotment ended. But that’s just the price for more democratic access to a truly well-executed bar.

    Great staff… great food… amazing drinks… I’ve been here for dinner and attended a large scale work related event the tell tale sign of a great place is that the food from the large scale work event was equally as good as the intimate dinner as were the drinks and the staff… I preach the gospel of Junglebird everywhere I go!

  • Review 128 (2022-12-16 - Rating: 4)

    The artwork and ambiance is to die for with its mixture of tasteful art and nostalgic tracks (speaking as a 30 year old Millennial). Its very spacious inside, but gets crowded at night. My group said the food was excellent although I didnt order any.

  • Review 141 (2021-08-21 - Rating: 4)

    This is a super cute spot to grab some drinks on a night out with friends or a date. I haven’t eaten here, so my review is strictly based on the bar, not the food/dining experience. The vibe and ambiance is super chill. You’ll be transported to the tropics as soon as you walk in. The bartenders were really nice and attentive, as was the guy who greeted us at the door. I had the smoky eyes drink and the baby one more time, both were great (be warned, smoky eyes is not for the faint of heart if you can’t handle spice). I would definitely come back here again if I’m ever in Chelsea.

    We had our engagement party here at the Canopy Room. The service here is outstanding! Marissa their events director was super helpful, professional and such a pleasure to work with.

  • Review 144 (2021-05-23 - Rating: 4)

    Super cute spot in the city for drinks and small bites. The Jungle Bird drink is like a tasty rum punch that packs a punch!! The baby one more time is another good drink. Bites that I enjoyed: the dumplings, curry puffs, the fried chicken. I would definitely go back when in the area.

  • Review 145 (2022-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    An absolutely lovely bar with two levels and a super nice ambience (and delicious strong drinks to boot). The mixologists are super cool and professional. Will definitely be coming back.

    Really good fried dumplings and cocktails. Fried shrimp great as well but dumplings stole the show. Sat at bar, friends drinks were taken by bartender twice with about 30% of drink left but still a great time!

    LOVE this spot! The neighborhood really needed something like this! The decor is BEAUTIFUL and the drinks are wonderful! We threw a semi-private party on the second level (called The Canopy Room) and the manager and bartenders were lovely and so accommodating. Really rare in NYC to find a place that has all the things. Definitely recommend!

  • Review 158 (2019-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Really nice, modern and up-scale feeling bar. You don’t want to come here and get a Bud Light...they have an awesome selection of local craft beers you’ll want to try instead. They also have a nice list of classic cocktails and very knowledgeable bartenders who can cater to whatever you like.You don’t see it at first glance but there’s an upstairs area called “the canopy room” which can be rented out for private events. It has another bar that’s a little quieter/more room if it’s crowded downstairs.Unfortunately I didn’t try the food but looked great as well!

  • Review 159 (2021-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Went to Jungle Bird to celebrate my birthday. Could not have picked a better spot! The vibe and decor are great. The service was very attentive - once you finishing up your drink, there was already someone asking if you wanted another one. Our waitress was super nice - was taking photos of us and offered to cut the cake :) We had the two high-top tables and it was perfect to mingle. Drinks are delish and great location if you want to continue your night at one of the nearby clubs.

    I went to this place for drinks with coworkers. We had large party of 10+ people and they were nice enough to open up their second floor area, which has ample space with a lot of tables and chairs. We had some bahm mi sandwiches along with chips and dumplings. I didnt try the sandwiches but the dumplings and the chips were tasty. The place has beautiful decor and great service. I will go back to try their other food items on the menu.
