Great drinks, delicious food and chill vibes. Great music. I felt bad that the lone bar tender was doing everything- bar tending, taking table orders, running food, making drinks, probably cooking too- will be back but staff more people to help the dude out

Best bar I’ve been to in NY. Perfect mix of upscale and relaxed, the drinks were quick and fairly priced. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. I’ve just found my new local, nothing like it in Soho!

Super spacious and decent drink selection!! went on a friday night as a part of a larger group (10-15 people) and there was plenty of space in the back.not too loud which is always nice at a bar in nyc

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, this cozy bar exudes an inviting charm that makes it feel like a hidden gem. As you step inside, the warm glow of soft lighting and the intimate setting instantly transport you to a more nostalgic era, where timeless cocktails reign supreme. The ambiance is sophisticated yet laid-back, with vintage décor that echoes the history of the city.

Damien Donal and Daniel are the best. I have the best time here with friends they were so accommodating. I got the best food and best drinks ever. I really recommend this place it’s the best ever!!!!!!!!! The drinks and service are amazing and the atmosphere is to die for love it so much. I’ll definitely be back and recommend anyone else to visit the place. Love Damien! And Ronan is so cute

Fun bar in Soho! I emailed the day before for an 8 person reservation for a work outing and they replied right away and secured us a great table at the front of the bar. I space is much bigger than it looks, with lots of big tables in the back for large groups.The bartender was friendly and made delicious cocktails. The bar snacks were so good, especially the Burrata and the guacamole and chip. Looking forward to going back!

My friend recommended beyond the pale for a fun place to get drinks with friends and out of all the bars in nyc this has been the best. Their drinks and food are organic and made in house. Also giving a shout out to sofie and Katie…. They were amazing!!!

Beyond The Pale is an elite establishment. I would go as far to say that everyone wishes they had a BTP in their NYC neighborhood. Not only are the drinks excellent, thoughtfully curated and perfectly executed, but the ambiance is the true allure of this place - an ideal blend of a classic Irish bar and a swanky cocktail lounge. This is where you want to end up on a Friday night, throwing back one too many delicious cocktails and hanging in one of the back booths with your friends until 2AM. The staff are as authentic as the Guinness and the food is solid, particularly the curly fries. Go to BTP for the drinks, the fries, the good vibes and above all, the hot Irish owner.

Very inventive and well done cocktails,I was impressed with some of the liquors they decided to use in them (not your standard brands that other cocktail bars use). The decor is very nice and the staff is great. Highly recommend if you are a fan of cocktails.

There are tons of bars and restaurants to choose from in NYC. It is difficult to get into one, let alone find an open table on a Saturday night! Beyond the pale was not only inviting, but they also provided excellent service and fantastic drinks. This place seemed to get rolling early, but what was unique about it is that the crowds would come in waves. Allowing everyone to eventually get in and have an awesome experience. Great drinks at a reasonable price. No pushy staff. The place was loaded with beautiful people. There was enough room to feel comfortable and hear your friends while having a conversation. A great experience. There were four of us, and everything was perfect. Note, unfortunately we did not eat there so I dont know how the food is.

Fantastic cocktails & great ambiance. Had a delicious charcuterie board!!!! Haven’t found a spot like this in NYC. Deff worth the visit. Try the Pucker Up & Maverick Mezcal. 12/10 vibes

Admittedly I was on a post-NYC Marathon high when we visited Beyond the Pale, but even so this is now one of my favourite bars in NYC. The location is in one of my favourite neighbourhoods, the decor and vibe is modern and clean but still welcoming, and the food and drinks menu is fantastic. We had the tacos and cheese-board, plus wine and cocktails, and for the quality it is also really good value. Cannot wait to go back!!!

Review 13 (2024-02-09 - Rating: 4)
Went in last Friday night. The bartenders were mostly unfriendly but the cocktails were so good I don’t care. Don’t expect warmth or conversation from bar staff or other patrons but if you want a great drink go here. I don’t blame the place - it’s where NYC is at these days. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Review 14 (2024-04-24 - Rating: 5)
One of my favorite spots in the city! Great vibes whether its for an after work drink or a Saturday night birthday celebration, variety of cocktails but never mincing on quality, and friendly + flexible staff.

Review 15 (2023-01-18 - Rating: 5)
Best place for a drink and has fantastic staff!! The vibes are great for any occasion, date, drinks with friends, whatever. It’s exactly what this neighborhood needed!

Review 16 (2023-04-15 - Rating: 5)
Really nice place to have a drink. I ordered off menu and was pleased they could make a cucumber gin gimlet. Great job!!

Review 17 (2024-12-15 - Rating: 5)
Really enjoy this place for post work drinks. Decent happy hour. Kind staff. Good drinks.One word of advice, ditch the frosted beer mugs. The glass is always chipped, youre running the risk someone will eventually sue you after being cut.

Brilliant spot for a couple of bevvies and food. Super friendly staff, we came a few times on busy nights and felt very well taken care of. Come for the drinks, stay for the craic!

Review 19 (2023-01-30 - Rating: 5)
Such an interesting concept for a bar, can’t say I’ve seen many Irish cocktail bars that aren’t just simply pubs, but this one is different. They have an amazing selection of both classic and innovative cocktails on the menu… including a set that all are espresso-based, the key to my heart! Also would be a great date spot. Will definitely be back again, so much more to the menu to explore

Review 20 (2024-08-05 - Rating: 5)
Beyond the pale is a hip bar with classic drinks. Really cute ambiance and vibe with a younger lively crowd during the day.

Such a cute spot! loved the atmosphere and the staff was super attentive.. I never had an empty drink in front of me. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get away from the hustle & bustle of SoHo

Swing by the newly open spot on spring street.Love the vib and the decor. Super cool staff (i know them from their previous job)Cocktail menu is very legit. They know what are they doing. I’ll recommend the stormy and dark. Yummy.Food wise we just share some of the few items (they workin on expending it)Tacos. Curly fries with a delicious spicy aioli. And chips and guac.Look forward for my next stop there !

Top notch service / hospitality and great environment. Bartenders are very attentive and quick. Excellent Craft Cocktails & very good food to accompany. Playlist is great as well!

Review 26 (2023-02-07 - Rating: 5)
Listen, Beyond The Pale is the place to grab a great cocktail and hang with friends. The Irish lads behind the bar offer an array of cocktails and if you’re looking for something specific I’m sure they can make it happen. The large booths in the back can accommodate everyone in your rat pack and the music selection keeps the good times rolling. Stop by and say Kelso and Alec sent you!

Review 27 (2023-05-22 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely amazing ambience. Stunning decor. Fantastic staff and wonderful attentive service. The cocktails are decadent and exquisite. The food is delicious and the cheese board is the best!!!! Love it!!!

Review 28 (2024-09-14 - Rating: 5)
The cocktails were delicious and the service was top notch. The spicy margarita was delicious as was the filthy martini. A bit dark but a nice vibe. Did not try the food. Would go back for sure!!

Review 29 (2023-07-23 - Rating: 5)
The cocktails were classy. The food was delicious. And the design I can only describe as timeless. A great soho bar on a hot day.

Review 30 (2023-02-11 - Rating: 5)
Its a beautiful sunny but brisk day in February, and you get off the 6train at Spring Street. Before you lies a deep green storefront, freshly painted, a lonely sandwich board asking for patronage. You step in. Its warm but not overly so. It is only somewhat busy but word has not spread of its existence.You order two drinks with average prices and interesting ingredients. You cheers. You sip.You are at a loss for words.You think, How can there only be this many people when the cocktails taste this balanced, this refreshing?You sit and take in the space. It will not be long before the message gets around. Join us.You order a second round, as good if not better than the first.You leave busier than you left it. While it is noisier you note the vibe hasnt changed.Youll be back.

Drinks are good but a little too sweet. They have something on every spectrum, and use good spirit

Review 32 (2023-04-23 - Rating: 5)
This place hosted me and my friends for 4 solid hours on my birthday. Great atmosphere, bartenders are talented and hosts are super friendly. Must order curly fries

Review 33 (2023-02-12 - Rating: 5)
Amazing new spot with friendly staff and even better drinks. In a big group that tried at least 7 different drinks and all were incredible. The chai is dessert in a cup, green goddess is refreshing, and the ranch water is amazing. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into this menu! The atmosphere in here was very cool and trendy. A wide variety of ages but all around friendly patrons.

Review 34 (2024-02-15 - Rating: 5)
Spacious and great ambience. The bartenders really know what theyre doing. Had an amazing mezcal negroni. The cheese plate was also great. Its not just something restaurant slaps together and charge you 20 bucks for. I was genuinely impressed with all the attention to details. A proper bar with sophistication you will find in luxury hotels.

Great new bar. Wonderful cocktails, clean, great staff. Near shopping areas for a quick break.

Review 49 (2024-03-12 - Rating: 5)
Tried this on a whim because I had dinner nearby and was so glad I did! We asked the hostess at the door about table availability given it was a busy Saturday night and she was very nice in getting us a spot.Drinks were unique (lots of mezcal/tequila options), but we enjoyed everything we got. Im not a huge Negroni person but their Mezcal Negroni was fantastic. The Over and Done With was also a great, light opening drink. Despite them being very busy, it was never deafeningly loud which Im a huge fan of. Service was also great. Ill definitely be back!

Atmosphere, food, bathrooms (which matters a lot to me!!) phenomenal. Drinks were great but almost too unique? I ordered an old fashion and something was just....off about it. Luckily the food made it better. Will come back! Just need to order a different drink!

Review 58 (2024-03-23 - Rating: 4)
Lovely place. We had a nice little tucked away spot and felt relaxed as afternoon turned to evening. We knew it got late as the noise levels soared but still not too crowded and lots of fun.Expensive but then I think the £ Stirling is very weak right now so the whole of NYC feels expensive. $10 draft pilsner and $18 cocktail… we had a few… all good!

Review 59 (2023-12-10 - Rating: 5)
Came across this establishment recently. First impressions, great food, tried almost every cocktail on the menu and have yet to be disappointed, all were absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere and even better staff. The owner could not be nicer always greets us with a smile. You can tell the owner has a great impact on he’s staff as they are all extremely friendly and attentive. All in all could not rate this place enough

Review 60 (2023-10-28 - Rating: 5)
Drinks were amazing and staff couldn’t be more friendly. Played great music and gave us a very wonderful experience, above and beyond.This is all in addition to the bar having a great vibe, very clean, nice, and beautiful inside. Prime location to get a drink at an awesome place.

Stumbled into this laid back bar for a drink before our dinner reservations. Good drinks and good vibe. The Watermelon Watch cocktail was recommended and it was outstanding. They were not busy as it was Labor Day weekend and sure hope word gets out that it is a great place.

Great cocktails and a great vibe. Perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink

Review 68 (2023-11-09 - Rating: 5)
I can’t think of a place with a sexier atmosphere and quality cocktails made with to this level of integrity. The Mezcal old fashioned was 11/10, and the Guinness was dangerously good. Super fresh, one of the top 5 pints in the city, that’s a BIG deal! It’s amazing how well the small staff was able to handle such a busy bar and still make us feel welcome and attended to. The guac was oddly super high quality and not over salted. All the food was super fresh and served well as bad food, without being “bar food” Ulia was our bartender and she was super rad and didn’t fall into the bad attitude and apathy of most NYC bartenders. Can’t wait to come back! Cheers!

Place is incredible!! Great vibe, great music, great lighting. Clean with trendy drinks. Music is at a level that’s fun but you can still have a convo!!! Tables, great seating… and the drinks are fantastically generous!!!! Courtney, our server was bringing us new drinks JUST as our drinks were finishing. Incredible service, incredible drinks, with a great vibe… what more could you ask for?! We will be back!!!

$10 beers and a nice vibe. The place is very dark and cool, which adds to the atmosphere. I’d come back and do recommend it. However, they were short-staffed, so we had to order at the bar and carry everything to the table ourselves.

Review 92 (2024-04-19 - Rating: 5)
Large cozy bar, with a dining area. Excellent choice of cocktails but also elaborate mocktails, based on non-alcoholic spirits. Ideal for a drink before dinner in the neighborhood!
