    I had the pleasure of dining at The Spaniard in NYC, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale, making it an ideal spot for a night out.The highlight of our evening was our waitress, Shaman. Her service was absolutely top-tier—she was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Shaman went above and beyond to ensure our experience was flawless, from her thoughtful recommendations to her impeccable timing. She truly elevated our night and made us feel like VIPs.The food and drinks were equally impressive. The menu offers a delightful mix of elevated comfort food and classic cocktails. The burger is a must-try, and the Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had in the city.If you’re looking for a place with exceptional service and incredible food, The Spaniard is a must-visit. Ask for Shaman if you can—you won’t regret it!5 stars all the way!

    If youre trying to decide between the smash burger and the patty melt, the burger is at least 100x better. The Brussels were good but they get soggy quick because theyre sitting in sauce.Overall the food here is okay for American fare.Kinda fratty vibes in the bar, but if youre at a table its a completely different atmosphere.

    Definitely a great place to have brunch on a Sunday! Got there at 11 right at opening and it wasn’t busy. The crowd comes in around 1. The food was great but more on the pricier side. The service was nice and friendly! The vibe of the place is nice. Very close to the 1 train and the Blue line too. I highly recommend this place for sure

    Wonderful experience. Stopped in for cocktail and snacks. Kat was our server and she was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, fantastic recommendations. Warm, friendly service. Thanks for a great afternoon!

    Delicious smash burger!! Juicy, great flavors and quality. So good I wanted to order a second right then, but one was filling. Very efficient service, friendly without being overbearing. Will come back whenever I’m in the area.

    Food is ok. We had better expectations. The security guy was super rude. Unacceptable.

  • Review 7 (2023-09-03 - Rating: 4)

    The food was delicious; we had the burger and the steak tartar. The service was good. I had to remove a star for the ambiance as it was crowded and a bit annoying. Also, security was barking out orders like they were cattle calling at a dude ranch to move people around to clear a path near the bar for severs. It could be better if they didn’t overpack it in my opinion. Otherwise the cocktails were delicious as well. Price was fair.

    No pictures taken this time around, however this establishment is a vibe! You have to experience it in person. Very laid back and chillax. They have a great selection of food and drinks. My friend and I ordered the smash burger and popcorn chicken. The drinks were tasty. Much appreciated for the great bite to eat!4.96 out of 5

    Have you ever met a bartender so legendary you wonder if they moonlight as a stand-up comedian? Enter Paul, the maestro of the backroom bar.Paul doesn’t just serve drinks—he serves moments. Order a simple gin and tonic, and somehow you’re leaving with a custom cocktail, a life lesson, and a hilarious story about how he once tried to start a bartending soccer league.The man’s got skills: flipping bottles, remembering orders like Rain Man, and roasting customers just enough to make you laugh but not enough to ruin your night. I asked for a margarita, and he gave me a drink he called the “Chair New York Special.” What was in it? No idea. Was it amazing? Absolutely.The backroom bar feels like a speakeasy you’re lucky to stumble upon, and Paul is its eccentric king. If you’re not ordering a drink from him, are you even living?5/5 stars. Paul is the kind of bartender who could make water taste like Dom Pérignon.

    Located in the West Village, The Spaniard is a great bar!! I visited recently with my boyfriend + a couple of our friends (we needed a nightcap after dinner at L’Artusi), and this was a good spot to finish the night at. They make a nice spicy margarita, and the atmosphere inside of The Spaniard is really lively. I’m looking forward to returning to try some of their food menu items!!

  • Review 11 (2021-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Proper lunch and dinners spot. Beautiful buzzing bar. Loads of whisky choices. An espresso Martini thats pure Village. And, possibly the best onion rings ever. The Cheese Smash Burger is an homage to America . My West village go to.

  • Review 12 (2024-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    If you come to the Spaniard (which has THE BEST vibes overall) you MUST try their popcorn chicken. It is so good, it made my ENTIRE night, I mean who doesn’t love popcorn chicken?!? My table ordered 3 orders because of how much we loved it. 12/10 experience.

  • Review 13 (2024-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    Kristin is the best! I had such a great time. I used to come to this bar back when it was Jimmy Days. She really made my experience at The Spaniard amazing.

  • Review 14 (2021-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    I thought this place was extraordinary. But there are definitely strengths and weaknesses. I took lots of pictures - we had lots of food. Lots of drinks. Overall this is a higher quality spot, and you can taste it, but also - youre payin for it. 4 drinks will run you $50. So if its a date, dont go here with penny pinching in mind. Brace yourself - youre about to spend some money. But its great. Mosquito was great, paloma not so much. Appetizers were great. Wings, calamari stood out to me. Burger was standout. Steak was ok, maybe not the choice here. Salad isnt why you should go here. Outside is better than inside. Bar area gets crowded, had an older 20s vibe. Not my thing. Service was great. Food came quick. Drinks were strong. Great location. Il remember this place.

    Took forever to get a drink even without it being crazy inside. The bartenders were just not it. Atmosphere is cute and feels polished. Drinks are expensive. A little bro-y

    Network is everyright.People who love what they do should always be praised.Many thanks to Leon the manager. Showed me a good time. Came across the place. Was full and the manager personally made me feel at home. Lovely and helpful staff.Much recommended for locals and travellers

  • Review 19 (2022-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Trendy spot with really delicious cocktails and a varied and distinguished whiskey menu. We had the spicy margarita which was awesome, a great amount of heat and it went down smoothly. I was happy to see my favorite bourbon and had a glass of Blantons which needs no review. The service was awesome with our fun blonde bartender who befriended us and we had quite a few laughs. Would recommend coming here if you have the chance!

  • Review 20 (2018-10-03 - Rating: 4)

    Food was incredible but super packed on a Friday night. Had the gin cocktail with seasonal fruit as well as the Mosquito. Both were amazing. Best cocktails I’ve had in a while.Tried to meet friends here for a birthday dinner but we ended up walking to another bar. No table space or room at the bar to gather, unfortunately. Would love to go back on a weeknight.

  • Review 21 (2018-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed our dinner experience here. Came with the family and got one of their comfy booths. Love the vibe inside the Spaniard. The Smashburger was delicious and they have a great whiskey selection. Would definitely come again.

    The fries were incredible and we loved the service here!

  • Review 23 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    I heard this was the spot to go if you wanna meet people in nyc & i would agree. (that is if you go in the evenings, would say after 8) and i know at least one person who met his girlfriend here.there’s usually a line on evenings but it moves fast. tends to be pretty crowded and can be hard to breathe lmao. relatively young ish crowd for the most part from what i’ve seen.they have a “speakeasy” with a DJ (i think at least on thursdays)they also have my fave drink of all time aka the penicillin so can’t complain too much

  • Review 24 (2021-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    The Spaniard was incredibly underground in 2016 when I first stumbled upon it on a west village jaunt. Since then, it has probably been written up in every timeout New York magazine issue and there’s usually a line of Zoomers waiting to get in.The brunch is phenomenal. The vibe is electric. And if you don’t have to wait in line, the whole experience is relaxing. The inside bar (when open) is the quintessential New York first date spot / let’s meet up after dinner spot.New York is back. That’s because New York never left. The Spaniard is the perfect example of that.For brunch, get the green eggs. It will change your life. And the biscuits with butter.

  • Review 25 (2019-04-16 - Rating: 4)

    Burger was fantastic. Our waiter was great, attentive, and suggested great drinks from their menu. I wish they had a smaller set of sides for individual order, but overall great.

  • Review 26 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 4)

    We (my brother and I) stumbled in from the rain after walking around, reminiscing the old times in the village. Delicious smash burger, fresh cut fries, and a pink stiletto to help it all go down.

  • Review 27 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely awesome, great service very hospitable. Even the patrons are cool. Its like be transported to a different place once you enter because the vibe is definitely dope.

  • Review 28 (2021-07-09 - Rating: 4)

    Good but pricey $$. We ordered the artichoke dip & burrata. Both were delicious but their drinks were definitely on the pricier side!

  • Review 29 (2020-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    We visited on a crisp February day and enjoyed a delicious red bloody mary (they also offer green) and excellent salmon Benedict. The interior was cozy but spacious and well likely return.

  • Review 30 (2021-05-23 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent house wines. Green scrambled eggs were also quite good but on the small side. Trendy location.

  • Review 31 (2022-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent food and service, cant wait to come back. There /was/ a big puddle of human urine right in front of the only door, but the poutine and spicy chicken sandwich were just excellent!

    Literally changed my favourite whiskey with their thoughtful approach to my greatest weakness. Bless the Spaniard

  • Review 37 (2023-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    Went here on a Friday night after a work event, and it was super packed. That being said, we had some of the nicest and most knowledgeable bartenders, GREAT whiskey selection. My friends had some Angels Envy rye, I had a vesper (best vesper I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of vespers). One of my friends also got an old fashioned, and the bartender (Q) made a whiskey blend for her - I had a sip - it was incredible. We will be back - looking forward to trying their food :)

  • Review 38 (2021-08-08 - Rating: 4)

    Fine spot with decent seating options and a more than decent whiskey selection! A little dim and crowded and loud inside for any kind of intimate conversation.

  • Review 39 (2023-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Hope and Georgia were the nicest servers, so pleasant to chat with and they made our evening that much more fun. We had whiskey sours which were terrific! Great place to people watch.Will go back to try the food. Cheers!

  • Review 40 (2022-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place! I went here for the first time last weekend and had so much fun that I came back with more friends on Thursday. The crowd is mostly 20s and 30s and a great place to meet people (everyone is talkative and friendly)! Also, John who works there is wonderful and made sure to keep the vibe happy. It’s definitely a place to socialize on the weekend, so if you’re looking for a quiet place to sit down and just lay low I wouldn’t recommend. But if you’re in the mood to have fun and enjoy a social night— this is definitely the place! We’ll be back for sure!

  • Review 41 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    I recently had the opportunity to film a birthday party at The Spaniard, and this neighborhood gastropub really stands out. The place offers a well-curated menu featuring American classics, burgers, an extensive whiskey and cocktail selection, all while exuding a throwback vibe thats hard to resist.But what really sets this venue apart is the private room in the back. Its an intimate yet dynamic space that comes with its own bar and bartender. The catering staff were on point, keeping the delicious bites coming all night long. The room itself is a design gem, blending retro and modern elements in a way thats both nostalgic and fresh.The Spaniard offers more than just good food and drinks; it offers an experience. Whether youre planning a private event or looking for a unique spot for a casual night out, this gastropub has got you covered.

  • Review 42 (2024-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    We come back to The Spaniard every time we visit nyc. Always a great time. Kristin is so fun! Great bar.

    Mikey was the best server I’ve ever experienced at this establishment. It’s nice having true New Yorkers serve you in your hometown. I’m so excited to come back here. I hope Mikey works every single time I’m here. Cheers.

  • Review 45 (2024-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    We went there around 2AM and this was one of the few bars in the area that was open. It was very lively with great crowds of people. Drinks are very pricy but ambiance was nice.

  • Review 46 (2018-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    A really nice little place. Everything was very clean and the interior was designed and laid out well. The bartenders and servers were very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. The food was good, but it took a little long to come out, although this may have been because I arrived at an awkward between lunch and dinner time. I dont like scotch or whiskey but they have a large selection and my friend enjoyed what he got. I would definitely go back.

  • Review 47 (2022-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    It was a little tough to get service in the outdoor area because the place had already turned into a nightclub inside, but our waiter Evans was so friendly it didnt really matter. The food was the star! The steak tartar was awesome as was the burrata and the French fries were some of the best and freshest we have ever had! I loved the New York Strip and nobody I was with seemed to mind their burgers, their mushroom salad, or the fried chicken sandwich.

  • Review 48 (2024-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    Had a great lunch the steak tartare and the chicken salad are to die for

  • Review 49 (2020-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    Easily the best place Ive dined and drank at since the pandemic began. I felt very safe because the tables are all far apart from each other and there was beautiful outdoor lighting. So many tables that wrap around both corners of the restaurant. Only one person allowed indoors for the bathroom at a time. Drinks are just as good as I remembered them and such a friendly management/staff. We will definitely be back.

  • Review 50 (2023-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    Drinks could’ve been stronger but the food was amazing. I got a spicy chicken sandwich which could’ve been spicier but it was very flavorful. The spinach artichoke dip was the best I’ve had in a while.

    Interesting multi-room bar located in west village area. Irish pub feel, pretty casual and no too busy, at least on a Sunday evening.The drinks were not bad, although a little pricey.We didnt try the food. We sat at the bar and talked a bit with our bartender, she was friendly.

  • Review 54 (2019-07-10 - Rating: 4)

    This village bar and grill has great atmosphere but can be a little noisy. Took my mom to mother’s brunch and it was very tasty. The grilled oysters were the best thing we ate. Could have had 2 dozen more. The food took a very long time to come out even the appetizer But the server was super nice and gave us a round of drinks on the house. I am always a fan of a place that will recognize when they are behind and want to show you that your business means something. It’s a fun spot with huge bar lots of regulars and is in the heart of the west village

    This place has some really good margaritas. I came here With one of my friends has he mentioned it is a good salsa dancing bar. To our surprise, the upstairs bar what she had been to previously did not have many people and was charging a $20 cover. We must’ve picked a bad night, but including that as part of my review as that definitely deterred us from going upstairs.

    Great place with good cocktails, food and service. I had a Japanese whiskey cocktail and my friend had a Manhattan. Both were well made. We also had oysters and steak tartare, which were pretty good. Our waitress was nice and with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere in the place is vibrant. They have a little back room at the back of the place which will be good for any private event. Definitely recommend this place!

  • Review 60 (2022-08-28 - Rating: 5)

She is the kind bartender you want taking care of you.The food is outstanding. The purple rice bowl IS spicy but not overpowering. I felt great having healthy food that actually tasted delicious, I felt indulgent. Perfectly cooked fries as well. I will be back!!If I wasn’t headed back to work, I would have tried the watermelon michelada. There’s always next time!

A friend living in neighborhood for 10+ years told me j had to go and try it out. AMAZING. Such an incredible find thats one walked by all these years. Great food. Friendly staff. Great place do dine on a date, friends, family or alone. Low key pride themselves in their authentic food. Highly recommend

    Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful people; you can watch a football game without making it your sole focus; spacious; good cocktails. My only complaint is that the bar was understaffed the day I visited, so it took ages to get a drink and to receive or pay your bill.

    Nice bar and restaurant in the West Village. Convenient to the jazz clubs, although this place is a destination in itself. Lovely bar scene with hip clientele, but also a comfortable dining room with a second bar. They serve excellent food even late at night.

  • Review 79 (2018-09-06 - Rating: 4)

    The tapas here are good but a bit pricey for what they are. In my opinion this is better as a hang out spot than a date spot. Cocktails are great as well. Service can be a bit slow, but thats probably due to the bar atmosphere

    The smash burger was amazing. Definitely college bar vibes…quite pricy for the kind of place it is.

  • Review 81 (2022-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    The Spaniard is THE spot. It’s a great date night spot. It’s a great late night spot. It’s a great happy hour spot. It’s a great brunch spot. If you like whiskey, they have an incredible selection. I highly recommend trying some of their whiskey cocktails. The charbroiled oysters are a favorite and so is kale & artichoke dip. The smash burger must not be slept on as well. If you’re looking for a rowdy late night then the back room is your spot.

  • Review 82 (2022-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    So pleasantly surprised at how good the food is here! Been for the drinks before which are great too. You MUST get the smash burger (insaneee top burger in the city), caesar salad, fries, and the shrimp cocktail. The cookies are not worth it in my opinion. Want to try their brunch next!

  • Review 85 (2018-03-17 - Rating: 4)

    NOT cheap, but hot-diggity-damn, do they have some FINE whiskey!! The food is very good, but like any establishment of this caliber, slightly overpriced, at least for my taste. I got a burger, which was very good, and I assume used excellent ingredients, but it was $14. When Im already shellin out $18 for a coupla fingers of whiskey, I really didnt want to also drop that kinda com on the food. But, as I said, this place definitely attracts an upper crust kind of crowd. The ambiance is great, the servers were knowledgeable and friendly.Tl;dr - a little high brow for me, but excellent fare.

  • Review 86 (2023-08-27 - Rating: 4)

    Tried the spicy margarita, espresso martini and aperol spritz along with the spinach artichoke dip. Loved it!The second time we also tried the fried calamari- did not like it so much since it was soggy.The server was a little late to our table and we ended up having the first round on the house!

    Somewhat of a cross between a dive bar and a chilled out NY bar, gets super busy on weekends! This was the fourth place we hit up on a Friday night pub crawl and it was still alive and kicking at 3am! Great location and a fun place to hang out on a Fri/Sat night!

    I mean, it’s a go-to. the line on weekends (and even weeknights when the weather is good) has been insane … but go before it gets crowded or on a sunday, or random weekday date night and get a bar-top window seat. never fails.

    Love the Spaniard. One of my favorite after work bars in NY. Has a great wraparound bar that offers good space to belly-up, but the place gets packed around 6pm and youll have a hard time finding a spot if youre not there early enough.

    The best service in the city. I have lived here my entire life and never loved a place like I love the Spaniard. Going every weekend for Evans.

    Excellent vibe. drinks and food were great. Smash hamburger was so tasty. french fries too salty (but they brought new ones).

    Lovely whiskey bar with knowledgeable bartenders and a laid back, business casual vibe. Decent selection of single malt scotch, blends, Bourbons, ryes, and Irish whiskeys. Try the house single malts; lots of bang for the buck!

    Just a great location, great food, great cocktails and great service! The Spaniard checks all the boxes.Delicious burger, and fries. Delicious mussels and steak and fries. All around good times for a group of people to celebrate good times

    The spaniard has all things. boys without borders, ladies dresses for prom, bouncers with corroded souls from drunk dealings-with of the just-mentioned.each night offers something entirely new -- but not really. classic new yorkers tell riveting tales of why new york rules; internationals perpetually wonder how they got here, desperately trying to decode the many-languaged madness of new yorkian dialectica.the crowd moves as a singular overdressed blob. waiters, waitresses and security unceasingly navigate from one end to the other of the horseshoe-shaped interior, never failing to arrive where they were 12 minutes earlier.the nights carry on, someone drops something theyll wait for someone else to clean up. the upper crust exit unwanted run-ins with out-of-place interns (or worse).ultimately, even if you didnt close the place down at 4 a.m., you feel like you did. and despite it all, in the following afternoons much-dreaded detox, you cant help but believe there was a little magic in there somewhere.

    Food was okay. Id recommend the Bahn mi. The place has a great ambiance and their drinks are delicious. Especially the espresso martini

  • Review 99 (2019-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    Easily my most favorite vibe in the West Village. Crowd is attractive and fun. I had a pink mezcal cocktail that was insanely good. Going there tomorrow for my birthday too!

  • Review 100 (2020-01-05 - Rating: 4)

    Although the vibes were good, the bartender was really bad. I don’t usually give a bad review but she was really bad. I’m a customer and I need to be treated respectfully! Never came across such attitude anywhere ever!

  • Review 101 (2023-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Paul was an absolute vibe! Great bartender, great food, great service i personally give him and this spot a 10/10

    Amazing burguers and frieds. Shaman, the waitress is very nice. Thank you for your kidness.

  • Review 103 (2022-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    Nice open layout bar with good vibes. Attentive staff. Went only for drinks so I cant comment on the food

  • Review 104 (2022-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    Chicken sandwich and cocktails were excellent- including the espresso martini which has a chocolatey finish. Dish was small but, NY prices.

  • Review 105 (2020-10-31 - Rating: 4)

    Their hot drinks and oysters were amazing. The only downside is that the service was a bit rushed, trying to make us order more before we got to finish our first drinks

  • Review 106 (2022-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    Good burger, great fries, was a nice crowd on a Saturday evening, a line at the door. Packed bar, great service, had a great time.

  • Review 107 (2019-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious modern american dishes with old world inspirations. the atmosphere is both intimate and spacious, both elegant and rustic, with room enough for a casual lunch or an elevated night out.

  • Review 108 (2023-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    I attended a private party and the service was great. Particularly the server Alejandro was so nice and accommodating 10/10 recommended for private events.

  • Review 109 (2017-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    They are crushing their open! Awesome food and drinks; this will be our new neighborhood place. We decided that instant classic institution is the best way to describe it.

  • Review 110 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    A delicious espresso martini on draft, with lovely outdoor spaces. Their indoor area has a weathered vibe that gives it true character. Its what anyone in/visiting Greenwich vil. craves.

  • Review 111 (2018-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    A fantastic spot for some fun cocktails and great vibe at the heart of the village!and Oscar is pretty much the awesomest bartender.

  • Review 112 (2022-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Evans was the best waiter ever!! He made my friends birthday dinner a great time!! Will definitely come back!

  • Review 113 (2017-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite burgers in Manhattan right now. A perfect griddled double-double. Perfect onion rings too.

  • Review 114 (2020-01-05 - Rating: 4)

    Good cocktails for more or less 15, beer was good too (8). There wasnt too much to eat and we left after the party begins but it seems that here are cool parties

  • Review 115 (2019-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    One of my go to destinations in the West Village. The drinks are strong and made well, food is always delicious (particularly the burger), and the crowd of people here are fun.

  • Review 116 (2022-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best bars in the area. Nay, the city. Service leaves a lot to be desired but it’s a very high volume place.

  • Review 117 (2024-11-19 - Rating: 5)

    Nice cocktail menu

  • Review 118 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    This is my second at the Spaniard. Already a favourite in the village. Unfortunately the hostess was extremely dismissive and rude, but the rest of the service was remarkable.

  • Review 119 (2018-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    Dope spot for great comfort food and drinks. Best onion rings ever, the smash burger is on point, and the chutney with the patty melt is perfect.

  • Review 120 (2021-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Dave is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. Attentive, friendly and makes a mean drink. 10/10 would recommend

  • Review 121 (2021-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Good hot toddy with cloves driven into the lemon. Beautiful bar space

  • Review 122 (2017-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome space. Beautiful interior with thoughtful design. Only came for drinks, but had a really awesome interpretation of the classic Manhattan, which truly impressed. Will be going back when Im in the neighborhood next.

    Shannon is the life of the bar. Highly recommend having visited top bars around the globe

  • Review 124 (2024-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great place, music, and ambiance .will definitely be back

  • Review 125 (2024-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    Service is fair only . In the past few days, I ordered a drink and was told that I had to purchase a minimum of two drinks. In the end, we ended up with two expensive drinks on hand, the second of which was watery at the timeI finished the first one . Ive never heard of this rule before. In addition, the environment is very, very loud! Weekends should be avoided

  • Review 126 (2018-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    The best for sure in west village. Foods are AMZING. Drinks are fine. But atmosphere of bar covers drinks.And price is reasonable. It is good enough to have smalls for dinner if you want food with drinks.Go here for true nyc

  • Review 127 (2024-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Very popular West Village bar that is usually packed on weekend nights. Young crowd generally. I went on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside and was peaceful and lovely. Servers were friendly and attentive.

  • Review 128 (2021-11-13 - Rating: 4)

    Pandemic weirdness probably, but huge toast with the cheese was weird. Took a long time to get drinks, calamari was mushy. Hope its better next time.

  • Review 129 (2018-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Came early in the day. Great selection of whiskies and a very helpful bartender. Loved their cocktails.

  • Review 130 (2024-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    Since writing the review below the restaurant reached out to make things right which is very kind and appreciated and I edited my review.Cool space, we sat in the back bar and lovedthe look of the place. Asked for a drink menu and bartender tossed something at us which we saw was the QR code. About 45min later got the bill to leave, and my bf’s cocktail off their menu drink was $18 and my margarita was $23, which they break out on the bill as $20 with an up charge of $3. I asked what tequila brand was used, thinking that must be the extra charge, but it was just Tesora. Bartender said $20 was the tequila and the additional $3 was for the margarita. Never heard of that, but $23 for a basic margarita in a short glass with ok tequila seems high for a neighborhood place. But we loved the atmosphere and vibe of the space.

    Lively bar with great outdoor seating and decorative lights for the evening. Light bites and good drinks.

  • Review 132 (2019-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Cocktails are strong and well put together, had just a few small plates but also enjoyed them
