    Why is the sun always shining and the weather always perfect when I end up at Maiden Lane? Could be a coincidence. Could be witchcraft.The tinned fish and salty drinks create the perfect city-coastal escape. The tanned California transplants working out inside Tompkins Sq. Park will also make you feel as though you’re at a beach. Just beware the occasional villager passing by who makes eye contact with you as you drool over your martini and fish.

    Nice cozy bar, with large & affordable drinks! The standout from my experience here was the bartender/ chef, Alejandro, who so kindly gave me and my friends some free bar snacks!! And he also gave us some flowers to take home 😭🤍 he was so sweet and generous, he really made our time there memorable.

    Delicious grilled cheese & tomato soup! 🍅Great IPAs on tap as well fabulous trivia. Friendly barstaff as well!

    Good spot, expensive though! 6 shots and 2 beers was $100. If you’re able to get a long table for your group it’s great!

  • Review 6 (2023-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great bartenders, strong cocktails, and cold beer. Perfect date vibe throughout the week, pops off with a mixed and fun crowd on the weekends. The tinned fish selection is great and imported from abroad.The times listed are from covid days. They’re open until 12am on the weekdays and 2am on Fri and Sat.

    The turkey sandwich…hands down one of the best I’ve had. Messy but amazing, definitely recommend.

  • Review 8 (2024-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    The food is so tasty the atmosphere is amazing and the service is East village sexy. If you know you know

    Popped in for a beer on a warm day. Lovely bar, good beer and friendly vibes. Food looked good although I didnt eat there.

  • Review 10 (2024-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    Cool low key spot with yummy sandwiches. Bartender, Will, was a great sport and made experience awesome.

  • Review 11 (2016-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    This became our local for the 3 months we lived on Tompkins Square. Always managed to get a seat outside, great people watching, good selection of ales, and generously boozy cocktails. The tinned seafood is worth a try too.

  • Review 12 (2023-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    This bar is a crowd pleaser. Sunshine seekers, sports fans, breakfast cocktail takers, post Tompkins partiers, grilled cheese enthusiasts. Something for everyone!

  • Review 13 (2017-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    Ridiculous. The food is beyond top notch. Service even better. They didnt have the shrimp for. The ceviche available when we ordered, hooked us up with marinated beets with creme fresh, orange zest, and pumpkin seeds. Words do not do justice. Just. Go. Now.

  • Review 14 (2024-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    I came here alone for my bday week . I enjoy how homie it’s and the food….🤤🤤😋😋

  • Review 15 (2017-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice place to eat a late lunch or dinner. Sit outside if you can. Hearty, down to earth food. Cured and preserved fish based dishes - tastier than it might sound. I recommend getting a tin of sardines or scallops, served with bread and butter.

  • Review 16 (2023-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely love this place. Every bar should have a canned fish selection. Super friendly local dive. Great bartender.

  • Review 17 (2022-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic bar nestled into the East Village @ the corner of 10th & B. Great place to grab a drink and people watch on a spring/summer/fall evening. Highly recommend!

  • Review 18 (2020-01-05 - Rating: 4)

    Fun vibes. Somewhere a chill neighborhood bar and an upbeat party spot. My only real complaint is the unnecessary DJ taking up a large chunk of the bar all he could play the most unremarkable house music Ive ever heard. Could easily have been a Spotify playlist.

  • Review 19 (2020-07-03 - Rating: 4)

    Cool place thats doing reasonably priced beers during outdoor dining COVID crisis. On a nice day its refreshing to chill and watch the world go by with a beer and a bite. Limited seating but theyre doing their bit.

  • Review 20 (2023-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Best BLT I’ve had in my life. Tinned seafood selection is great too. Great bar.

  • Review 21 (2024-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    The cutest spot!!! Can’t beat picking out tinned fish and drinking a cold one outside! Great vibezzzz

  • Review 22 (2023-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibes, and the drinks are strong lol. Love to come here on a Saturday afternoon. Cheers

  • Review 23 (2017-06-19 - Rating: 4)

    If youre a fan of sardines and/or anchovies, absolutely come through. The staff has a matter-of-fact attitude that fits the vibe of the place. Tons of canned fish options, served alongside delicious toast. Also one of few places to carry Boy Drinks Worlds Serrano Chili Oil, amazing mixer for a spicy cocktail!

  • Review 27 (2016-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Wasnt expecting the sardine tin to be so delicious. Sardines, bread, butter, seasoned parsley, and salt. Simple but surprisingly delicious.The negroni was also top notch.

  • Review 28 (2018-01-23 - Rating: 5)

    Nice bar with a great low-key vibe. Chilled out music, great cocktails, and a very interesting selection of gourmet canned food.

  • Review 29 (2022-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    The bartender was great and the drinks and food were out of this world. You need to go there at least once.

  • Review 30 (2021-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible breakfast sandwiches. Love the whitefish or the egg sandwich. The salads are pretty good too.

    A little pricey, but the tinned seafood are pretty tasty and you can buy them to go.

    Live dj and shot sets...call the ride share!

  • Review 37 (2022-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    What a cozy little spot for an early evening drink! I had a wonderful time here with several friends the other night. Drinks were HUGE and very reasonably priced (I think the most costly drink was only $14, my entire party paid $10/each). It was warmly lit and the bar staff was so friendly. I had a lovely time and will be coming back!

  • Review 38 (2017-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Very friendly, super casual, relaxing. Affordable happy hour deals.

    Great bar and wonderful for a light quick bite.

  • Review 42 (2022-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    The bartender was super nice and played some movies for me from their DVD collection. He also took song requests, the music was fire 🔥 The pickles & drinks were delicious and easy on the wallet. Overall i highly recommend

  • Review 43 (2023-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    So so cute. Didn’t get to stay as long as I would’ve liked but I’m already dying to go back

  • Review 44 (2017-05-03 - Rating: 4)

    Rustic chic decor. Relaxed atmosphere. Great spot on the park. Most things served in a can - beer or preserved seafood. Delicious!

  • Review 45 (2013-08-15 - Rating: 4)

    This place opened perfectly in the midst of summer and has been a very welcomed addition to the neighborhood. I’ve been here when they first opened for a lovely cup of coffee as well as for a summer meal and evening drinks. Each time has been absolutely splendid. I will say with their features of canned seafood, I applaud them for introducing me to such deliciousness. I thought good canned seafood was something you could only find abroad. I’ve found canned food goodness at Maiden Lane and I like it! Plus, the guys running the place are very cool and more than willing to answer any questions without sighing.

  • Review 46 (2020-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is the spot. Good neighborhood drinks and food. Overreaching COVID liquor laws are threatening a place that has built an amazing outdoor space for people to drink at a safe distance with light food. They were great when everyone was indoors and are still great 100% outdoors.

  • Review 47 (2016-05-11 - Rating: 4)

    Graceful, modern and tastefully lit with a beautiful corner location looking out onto Tompkins park, its hard to go wrong. Clean crisp cocktails, a handful of draft beers, and high tables with stools, perfect for convivial conversation. A strange twist, they serve bar snacks from high-end tins, e.g. smoked oysters. Kind of a cute idea I thought.

  • Review 48 (2019-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    This is such a cozy bar that feels fancy without being pretentious. There’s all natural wines, live vinyl DJ sets, & delicious food!

  • Review 49 (2018-04-11 - Rating: 4)

    Good snacks and decently priced drinks

  • Review 50 (2017-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    Feel at home with prime service, easy going crowd and the most delicious fish/canned-based delicacies.

    Great space, superlative food and drinks made with care. Skip the hordes of idiots in the bars on Ave B for here.

  • Review 55 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Best service on Ave B. Have a menu of Spanish style seafood tins, and the most consistently excellent old fashioneds. Try the BLT too, bomb.

  • Review 56 (2018-12-15 - Rating: 4)

    Solid neighborhood joint. Love the canned snacks - gives it a Spanish or Portuguese vibe.
