    Sometimes all you need is a great cocktail and cheerful and attentive service and we had that at Tanner Smith’s. We swung in for drinks and were asked our orders even before we sat down at the bar. Our bartender was friendly and she provided some great recommendations for the drinks which were delicious and creative.

    This place is nice and has a good bar, but it’s a bit expensive. The food is okay, nothing extraordinary.

  • Review 3 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Would definitely go back for the atmosphere alone. I had a delicious burger and fries. The server was attentive and friendly. Great evening!

    Repeat visits here! This is a must stop when we visit New York! I wished we had places like this in Shreveport. The vibe and ambiance is always on point here. Very cozy but trendy spot. The food is so good! U must try the collard green waffle with chicken! And the menu has so many options for different taste buds. The signature drinks are heaven to ur drink palette! Whether a local or visiting, u have to try it!! U wont be disappointed! Thank u to Rosa Lee and the phenomenal Bar staff! Always so pleasant & welcoming!

    Imagine your ideal neighborhood bar. Now class it up one step and take the food up one or two notches. Lots of beer on tap. Great cocktails. The dry-aged burger is a culinary masterpiece.

  • Review 7 (2024-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun place. Delicious waffle fries and the cocktails were superb! I went back twice while in town.

  • Review 8 (2024-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    Typical midtown bar for food and drinks with colleagues and friends - only this place has really good food! The drinks are good - nothing too crazy or ‘crafty’ but overall good place to go after work. I’ve been here a few times and they’re always consistent. (Their menu clearly identifies Gluten Free and Vegan options)

  • Review 9 (2024-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of the places we usually come to drink. So I only review about the drinks and the DJ. The music is very enjoyable, always dance music is playing, the coctails are so delicious. The vibe is very nice. 10/10

  • Review 10 (2024-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best bars in Manhattan. Cocktails are around $18 each, but its worth it. My favorite is the Gutshot with a coffee flavor. The security guy at the door is very cool and welcoming. The bartender is great and very helpful. Ive been here three times in one trip and will certainly come back next time Im in the city.

  • Review 11 (2024-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Had the best time with friends! We had shared plates and the best cocktails. The vibe is immaculate

  • Review 12 (2023-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely spot for brunch and dinner. I absolutely loved the service, food, ambience, and cleanliness of the restaurant. The meals were delicious and tasty and the drinks were perfectly made with the right amount of alcohol for bottomless brunch. I will visit again and introduce my friends to this spot. Its pricey but so worth it.

  • Review 13 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot for cocktails and appetizers! It was bustling when I arrived 5:30-ish . It boasted happy hour, but I saw no evidence of a modified price menu. I had to wait for a seat at the bar but the hostess grabbed a stool for me to share a small high-top with others. I had the Mezcal Inferno which is set aflame just before they hand it to you. I give only 2 stars for service because there is no table service. You order at the bar and wait awkwardly there while you wonder what is happening at your actual seat. Odd to me. There seemed like enough wait staff to accommodate table service, but no. Your food order is brought to your table, but not drinks? Why? I missed the first flaming inferno because of this. Sad, they missed the service mark because the drinks and food were great!

    Great cocktails and service. Above all the ambience is great. My go to place with friends.

  • Review 15 (2024-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    I LOVE the staff with Katie at the bar being one of my favorites!! We met here for a private work event and stopped by the bar a little early to enjoy a few drinks. The cocktails were amazing, and the service in the private room that was reserved for us was nothing short of phenomenal!We had consistent food brought out and replenished (the mushroom flatbread was my favorite but didn’t make it to my camera roll because I was practicing being present, and I was present & greedy 🤭) there was flatbread, avocado toast, bruschetta, spring rolls, deviled eggs, meatballs, dumplings, chicken fingers (baked and fried), chicken wings, wine and beer…the decor was beautiful and I’ve rambled enough…the point is it’s a great place for events, a quick drink or a meal!!

  • Review 16 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    I celebrated my birthday with a boozy brunch, and it was an unforgettable experience! Dan took such great care of us and made the day even more special. The food was phenomenal—every bite was perfect—and the drinks were top-notch. Highly recommend this spot for a fun and delicious outing.Obrigada!

  • Review 17 (2025-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    I have been here three separate times and I have a great time each time. I suggest going before 6pm to beat the rush and get a table. I have also gone after 10pm and found it extremely pleasant. Definitely get the Teapot cocktail and the chicken and waffles. The absolute best items on the menu! I have gone for dinner before and after a show as well as just drinks for the evening. The staff and management are fantastic! When an issue occurs they ensure the customer is taken care of and or compensated without question. Definitely recommend and my go to when Im attending a show at the New York City Center.

  • Review 18 (2024-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic experience! If the Gatsby-like atmosphere doesnt make you love this place, the cocktails and food definitely will. We had a teapot cocktail crafted by Dakota that was absolutely delicious! He and Caroline made sure our glasses stayed full and that we were well fed. Highly recommend this place.

  • Review 19 (2024-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    Been twice. Went to brunch on a Saturday and it was really busy, but we still had a great time sitting at the bar. Love Charlie Chaplin. Love bacon marmalade. Each time I go I’m pleasantly surprised seeing as this is a hotel-crowd, midtown-type bar. I had the same bartender both times, Zoey. She is super efficient; really friendly and knowledgeable. Great, high-volume bartenders are hard to find! Will totally go back.

  • Review 20 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly bartenders and fast drinks. I loved that they had an electric strip right under the bar above the handbag hooks. Every bar should have a handbag hook. The fact that this place had a strip where I could recharge my phone while having a cocktail without giving up my phone to the bartender who may or may not agree to plug it in was HUGE. KUDOS to this place.

  • Review 21 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 4)

    The decor, atmosphere, and cleanliness (especially in the bathroom) is excellent. However, the food was just fine for the price point. I felt the pancakes, while by itself tasted good, could have used more syrup for the portion. The spicy burger was not spicy at all as well. Lastly, the service was slow and inattentive but not judging too harshly because you never know what can be happening in the kitchen/restaurant that day.

  • Review 22 (2024-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    What a great idea. Prohibition based restaurant that serves cocktails out of tea pots! We came in after a long day of sight seeing and venturing around downtown Manhattan. This was definitely a way to finish out on of our days on the Big Apple!

  • Review 23 (2024-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    Tanner Smith, this restaurant, was named after a notorious irish mobster who moved from ireland to nyc in the 1800swhen you step in, youre immediately transported to the prohibition era with a crazy antique decori love that you can order brunch food on a weekday!the chicken was so crispy and scrumptious and the waffle was sooo sweet😍the thai deviled eggs are just a delicious taste you have to experience for yourselfand i absolutely loved the cocktails served in tea cups🫖12/10 would recommend!

  • Review 24 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    This is a popular restaurant with great music, festive decor, cute mirrors all over, and dim lighting. Seating is hard and not super comfortable. Staff is nice and attentive but could probably be a bit more attentive. I had the mezcal inferno drink and it wasn’t spicy at all which was kind of a bummer. Also a little too sweet for me. The truffle fries and pancakes were yummy, 2 of us got avocado toast and they finished those, one of us got a Caesar wrap with chicken and didn’t really seem to enjoy it/she had a lot left over. I liked that the pancakes weren’t overly sweet, I think they’d be even better with chocolate chips or banana. It was busy inside but not so loud that we couldn’t converse easily. Even the bathroom is nice, the lit candle was a nice touch!

  • Review 25 (2023-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved my experience here! The workers were so sweet and explained the menu + history of the bar so thoroughly.The tea set cocktail was delicious. If you like sweeter drinks definitely opt for this set! And the smores were some of the best I’ve ever had - super chocolatey and the marshmallows were perfectly melted!

  • Review 26 (2024-11-08 - Rating: 4)

    Great atmosphere and place to chill by yourself or be with friends.The hot chicken and waffle was so yummy…But the buttermilk souffle pancakes were something special.They came out so hot and moist and ooey gooey! Great flavor, not too sweet.The cocktail “The Winona” was cool but there was nothing special about it in its taste.

  • Review 27 (2023-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    They are truly a master of their craft when it comes to cocktails !!! Soo many unique spins of classic cocktails that make them fun and exciting !!! They truly have a whimsical feel to it and we loveee it !!!The food is absolutely delicious too we tried their brunchhh and we are hooked !!!Loved every moment here !! It’s beautifully decorated too

  • Review 28 (2022-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant is such a great option to go before or after a Broadway show or even a concert at Carnegie Hall - its locate near Central Park, Columbus Circle - with a kitchen open until midnight daily. Also, they offer brunch from Thursday to Sunday!Everything I tried here was really yummy, but my highlights are the avocado toast - because a great bread is key - and the Smores dessert. But please dont leave without trying the delicious and fluffy skillet pancake. I will remember that pancake for the rest of my life, I swear!

  • Review 29 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing cocktails but what is better is the bar staff. Totally professional. 1 bar tender 3 back bar 50 + customers and nobody waiting to be served. AMAZING.Back almost a year later. Still outstanding with a new cocktail menu.Sadly. The barman just sneezed into his hands and carried on serving. 🤢 Had to leave.Ok day 2. Zoe is fabulous. Drinks out rapidly. With a happy smile thatseems genuine. What more do you need. Great drinks and a prettysmile.

    We had a lovely waitress named Brona. She’s super friendly and attentive. we’ve been here twice and had her both times she’s amazing! Food is great and drinks are amazing!

  • Review 31 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Our server, Brona, was amazing! She gave great recommendations and checked on us throughout our time at the restaurant. The drinks were strong and the food was good!

  • Review 32 (2024-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My partner and I had a fantastic brunch at Tanner Smiths, and we’ll definitely be back! The aesthetics of the place are beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waitress, Eliza, was absolutely amazing—so attentive and friendly, she made the experience even better.We started with the pancakes and the salmon melt, both of which were delicious. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the salmon melt had a great balance of flavors. My partner ordered the chicken and waffles, which he thought was just okay—good, but a bit basic. However, the drinks more than made up for it! The frozen cocktail was refreshing, and the tea pot lychee drink is a must-try.Overall, a wonderful brunch spot in NYC! Highly recommend checking it out for the great food, drinks, and service.

  • Review 33 (2024-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    I was coerced into a five star review by Dakota, a very cute and crafty bartender with great biceps.That being said, the drinks were delicious, service stellar, and music/vibes were just right. Dakota also provided me with the WiFi to write this review.Gio, another bartender, was there too.Thank you Gio for completing our service. :DI also had the privilege of having drinks made by Timo who has graced me with the best Negroni I’ve ever had as well as an innovative rum lassi milk munch which stole the spotlight of the night.**in case, dear reader, sarcasm is lost on you, this is a great spot and would recommend.

  • Review 34 (2024-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    First time here & Caroline is such a great bartender! Fast & outgoing, made my Drink very enjoyable, a rum & coke but the BEST rum & coke I’ve had till this day & I am NYC born & raised. Tanner Smith, good job on having her!

  • Review 35 (2024-10-05 - Rating: 5)

    The food and drinks were superb! Amazing taste.The ambiance had a modern meets classical vibe that I found intimate and romantic.The service was welcoming and helpful, and our waitress was attentive and had recommendations when asked. I really enjoyed our experience and I would definitely return. I think you should check them out!

  • Review 36 (2024-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    I only had a Greek salad with shrimp, but it was delicious. I tried quite a few different cocktails and they were all amazing. The bartenders were friendly and on top of things. Vibe was pretty chill. I went later at night, not sure what its like earlier.

  • Review 37 (2024-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    I recently visited the restaurant with my family, and Brooke, the manager, made our experience truly exceptional. She was incredibly accommodating to our group of five and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. Her attention to detail and hospitality really stood out. We can’t wait to return and will definitely be recommending this place to others

  • Review 38 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Vibes were immaculate and the food was very hearty and filling. We went during brunch hours and ordered the skillet, hot chicken & waffles, and the huevos rancheros.The hot chicken and waffles were solid but the hot chicken could’ve used more spice and flavoring. The waffle and sweet potato butter was really delicious though. Truffle fries were also a great side to order.

  • Review 39 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    7/8/23 first time here.Pete from Miami told me about this place and i finally made it here. Its a cool place, nice vibe. Unfortunately no backs on the bar stools (the GF likes backs) but she was intrigued so we stayed. I had a beer and she got a prosecco. They have some decent beer on tap. Then she started to order some food, spiced up cauliflower - good and carrot cake - really good! Our bartender told us the staff always orders the carrot cake for staff member birthdays, yeah I can see why.Certainly will return at some point in time, hopefully sooner rather than later.

  • Review 40 (2023-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Come for the afternoon tea. You won’t be disappointed. Alcohol infused tea cocktails are a great experience and taste amazing, and the appetizers they come with are delicious and pair perfectly with the tea. The tea cocktails have so much flavor infused and would definitely recommend trying them all! The ambiance and decor of this speakeasy is also perfect for a romantic date too

  • Review 41 (2022-04-17 - Rating: 5)

    Truly an excellent dining experience! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, even charming.Ordered the Winona cocktail which is like a smoked old fashioned and it was quite enjoyable. The pancake was light and fluffy like an actual cake and had a tasty fruit reduction on top along with whipped cream and a sprig of mint. It’s these details that set it apart from other nearby restaurants.Planning to return to try one of their whiskey flights.

  • Review 42 (2019-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    We came here on Monday around seven thirty for dinner without reservation. And there are still have some seats. The atmosphere is really nice. The cocktail treat lightly and Lucky Luis are all great! We ordered jalapeño Mac n cheese add smoked pork shoulder, Brussels sprout hash and grilled shrimp. All of them are tasty, especially the shrimp tacos which is the best tacos flavor Ive ever eaten in NYC. Highly recommend for grab a drink here or for meal!

  • Review 43 (2024-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    SO MUCH FUN FOR BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH!! Josh and I believe her name was Broana were the best servers EVER! I wasnt even hungry and ate my entire breakfast sandwich because it was that good. Cant wait to go back!! 10/10 service, vibe, and food!

  • Review 44 (2020-11-22 - Rating: 4)

    Cocktails were delicious. The Winona was a pour-yourself-a-drink situation where you’re given an enclosed bottle with the cocktail and smoke to pour out when and however you like. Buffalo chicken spring rolls and poutine were really tasty and exceeded expectations since I thought this place was more known for their drinks. They had a nice outdoor setup with heat lamps over each table which provided a lot of comfort and warmth.

    Went there recently for a bday party. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. The food was excellent and the drinks fabulous. Good place to hang out or to have a date night. $$ on the price level 👍. Will be coming back.

    I love this place. Stopped in for dinner and had an amazing time. Great ambience and service. Tried a variety of drinks which were all good. For food I got the chicken and waffles which are unique as the waffle is made with collard greens. It was amazing I loved it. For starters we got the oxtail rice balls and Buffalo chicken spring rolls.

    Had a great time at this bar! The decor and atmosphere is beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. The bar is clean, comfortable, and inviting. I asked the bartender to make me a fallish cocktail with Vodka and she made my sister and I something delicious! Definitely stop in and check it out.

  • Review 48 (2024-10-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great experience, came in after work. The Visual ambience of this place was very beautiful, the bar was pretty full so we sat at the secondary bar. Drinks were pretty amazing and moderately priced for New York $17.50 Spicy margarita was amazing, not only visually but the taste.Bartenders were friendly and fun overall great time went back in New York I’ll surely stop in.

  • Review 51 (2023-07-18 - Rating: 4)

    Super cute place to eat dinner with a relaxed vibe. Our waiter was really kind and knowledgeable, but we waited a long time to get my dessert. The flavor of the food was left wanting— but then again I’m a fan of bold flavors. Kinda spendy too. Dinner prices for amount of food was fair, but the dessert was expensive for a small amount ($12 for 3 tiny chocolate cakes.)

  • Review 52 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    Tanner Smiths is a Prohibition Period inspired restaurant that offers timeless victorian decor, delicious food and cocktails, and is always a vibe because they always have the best music playing!! One of my absolute favorite spots, Tanner Smiths never disappoints and is a great option for any occasion on any day, whether for bottomless brunch, Tipsy Tea or just to pop in for food and drinks. My most recent visit was for Tipsy Tea, which is offered every day from 3 to 6 PM, and gives you a teapot cocktail and a shareable appetizer of your choice for only $35.Bottomless Brunch is offered 5 days a week from Wednesday to Sunday, so its also the perfect spot for a weekday brunch.

  • Review 53 (2024-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great food and drinks. Cool cocktails, and awesome options for their unlimited brunch drinks deal!

  • Review 54 (2018-02-12 - Rating: 4)

    Cozy pub and bar. Ambient atmosphere. The back has tables to sit and order food if you want. Downstairs is even more cozy and the decor is really cool with a bathtub, framed animal heads on the wall, bird cages, like a little dungeon. The prices will leave you with an empty wallet. The drinks have quirky names but are expensive. The food is good but theres so little of it. A good place for a date if you can afford it. The waitress and waiters are beautiful ;)

  • Review 56 (2023-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    I didnt know what to expect. Its looks like a fancy gastropub.The hostess was incredibly kind. We were promptly seated. We ordered the kale ceasar, thai deviled eggs, the hot chicken with waffle and the skillet pancake. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor. Theyre known for the fancy alcoholic beverages, which we will indulge in with our next visit.Perfect choice for our first meal of 2023.

    I found this places as a recommendation from a random blog and I don’t regret choosing it to meet my best friend after a long time. Prices are good, food it’s great. But why I enjoyed the most it’s the ambient. The music was on point, and the attention from the servers it’s very nice. I would definitely come back

  • Review 61 (2024-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent place for brunch or an evening of cocktails. Had brunch on weekend and they had live jazz. Brunch menu had a lot of choices. We ordered shrimp and grits and salmon eggs Benedict. Loved it. Came back on a Saturday night and the dj and live music was dope. Loved it. Eggplant chips are amazing too. Mezcal Inferno cocktail is the bomb.

    Very welcoming! Great music and great drinks! Andy was very personable and made me feel special on my birthday!

  • Review 73 (2018-03-11 - Rating: 4)

    Cool choice for the Times Square neighbourhood (which is fairly slim pickings normally). The overt style is ‘speakeasy’ which is a little overplayed but works well in this setting. Keeping with the theme there are cocktails served in tea pots and a few gangster references on the menu.On the downside the avocado on toast was very mediocre; thin on the actual avocado and way too thick on the bread. That was a definite miss. However, the staff were super accomodating with the kids we had in tow, and the overall service was excellent. The other food also made up for that one dish.

    Tanner Smiths in NYC is a hidden gem that offers a unique and memorable dining experience. Steeped in history, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, transporting you back to early 20th century New York. The creative cocktails are a must-try, and the food menu features American cuisine with a twist. Dont miss their signature smoked cocktails and delicious bar bites !! GO now !! I had the smoked Meatballs wrapped in bacon omg . . !! Jerk Oxtail was delish and the Mac was creamy and special.

    A good place to grab a few drinks. There are two levels, upstairs bring more loud and bar like and downstairs is a bit quieter and more lounge like. Want an issue for us to find a seat on a Saturday night. Music and the drinks were good. Easier to grab a drink downstairs. The drink we got thats in the decanter and serves 5 (forgot the name, in pic below) was pretty good and very strong. It was a creeper! Definitely recommend!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tanner Smiths and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is great, with a cozy yet chic vibe thats perfect for a night out with friends or a date.One of the highlights of my visit was the excellent service provided by Kyara, our attentive and friendly bartender. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and made some great recommendations from the menu.Speaking of the menu, the food and drinks at Tanner Smiths are truly amazing. From the creative cocktails to the delicious small plates and entrees, every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The steak frites and truffle fries were particularly memorable, and the cocktails were expertly crafted and perfectly balanced.Overall, I highly recommend Tanner Smiths for anyone looking for a great night out in a welcoming atmosphere with fantastic food and drinks. And be sure to ask for Kyara - shell take great care of you!

    Stumbled upon this place while doing some shopping , we were starving and Tanner got the job done . Staff was welcoming and polite , service was just a little too slow tho. For food we ordered shrimp toast sliders which were very good. The bread was so soft. Vietnamese crab chips were very good too , love the touch of jalapeño on it . Last be bbq brisket nachos. So very good. Everything was fresh and we were def full. The menu changes, not sure how often but it does. Always some cool items on the menu.

    I love The Winnona which is a smoke infused whiskey sipper they smoke in front of you. Delightful but I recommend asking for a 2nd cherry! A bit more $$ than Im used to spending at home (Minneapolis, MN) but very competitive for Manhattan and very classy. The T-shirts have a fun slogan on the back of youre looking for a more unique souvenir. Enjoy!

    This spot is your classic Midtown bar, perfect for grabbing food and drinks with colleagues or friends—except the food here is surprisingly great! The drinks are solid—not overly fancy or crafty, but they hit the mark. Its an excellent choice for after-work gatherings. Ive visited several times, and they consistently deliver.

  • Review 95 (2018-11-04 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 103 (2024-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Here you have a choice; an upstairs, offering food and a lively scene, or the speakeasy downstairs. I chose the latter, which had an amazing atmosphere, an excellent bartender who could humbly show off their skill, and a more intimate and moody atmosphere, complete with a secret bookcase leading to more seating. Be warned, the music is loud in comparison, as there was a live dj on Saturday!

  • Review 104 (2024-04-14 - Rating: 4)

    Came here for drinks and dessert after dinner. Had the s’mores and carrot cake. Drinks were reasonable for Manhattan. Mollys May was my favorite- cucumber with citrus and vodka. Very fresh. Great spots to grab some drinks with friends.

  • Review 105 (2021-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    I had to try Tanner Smith. Tea with a little extra? count me in!.I’m the center of it all Tanner smith has the most beautiful rustic with a dash of the 60’s feel. The decor is just to die for. You can decide if it’s a dressed up type of day or casual. We weren’t as hungry because we ate just before going there. We had the charcuterie board and one of the afternoon teas, with tea-quilla….😜🙈The preserve that was served on the charcuterie board was quite the highlight of the fuse along with the stuffed dates. It was very well paired.We had the east side cocktail but asked our very nice waitress to sub the gin for tequila.Overall best experience ever at an affordable cost.

    Absolutely beautiful bar. The bartenders are charming, the atmosphere is rustic and relaxed, and service is quick and easy. You cant go wrong ordering Tanner Smiths Signature Cocktail - The Winona. The Hickory and Oak Wood smoke infusion is a beautiful addition to the whiskey. Tip - if you prefer your whiskey on the stronger side (like me), ask them to hold the orange peel.

    I have visited Tanner Smith’s several times, consistently impressed by the exceptional food, attentive service, and refreshing drinks. The servers are consistently accommodating, contributing to a positive dining experience. However, I have encountered one recurring issue with a particular host. Rather than providing a warm welcome, her demeanor comes across as unenthusiastic, and her unnecessary remarks create a sense of discomfort. Given the competitive dining landscape in NYC, a host should make guests feel valued and appreciated, which regrettably has not been my experience.

    Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and the cocktails were fantastic. While the prices were a bit on the high side, the quality of the drinks made it worthwhile. Unfortunately, the experience at the entrance was less welcoming; the hostess came across as somewhat rude and, I have to say, possibly discriminatory. She insisted we sit at the bar despite there being several empty tables in the back. After some persistence, we managed to get a table, though it wasn’t easy. I hope the hostess can be more impartial and respectful toward all guests in the future.

The drinks are fabulous as they offer drinks from the prohibition era as well as other concoctions you sure do not want to miss trying.

The food came out in about 15-20, was hot and fresh and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The oxtail arrancini are to die for!! The chefs burrito was massive, the pastrami inside was so tender. Next time Im in NY, this is where Ill be eating! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    What a find! This place has such a chill atmosphere its easy to forget youre in the middle of New York, especially after a couple of their unique and delicious cocktails. I ordered the Winona, which is a take on an old fashioned, and was pleasantly surprised to see it served to me in an old timey bottle filled with smoke. The look was quirky and the taste was amazing. Speaking of which, the food was great too. We had the buffalo chicken spring rolls and the egg plant chips which paired really well together.
