Bubo has done it again. This breathtaking speakeasy with a twist of Mediterranean fare is by far the most attractive venue in Midtown East if not in Manhattan. The vibe, the food and most importantly the service and the people involved in the care and the detail built into the experience is why I come here almost everyday and every night! The best of the best only here. Their most recent addition to the menu is seen in the pics here. Peruvian with a slice of Japanese fare.

The food was incredibly flavorful, with every dish tasting fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive—balanced, creative, and perfectly paired with the meal. The cozy, family-like atmosphere made the experience even more special, with friendly service and a warm, inviting ambiance. Andreas is so kind and welcoming. I wish I took pictures before the food prior to the demolishment :)

Highly recommend the brunch, great value and experience. The inside and cute and clean - opposite of lots of brunch places which are crowded and grimy. Bathroom is also clean!Service was great as well. Our waitress was very friendly and everything was timed well, not too fast or slow. She was also very nice to our 4 year old.The burger and mimosas were delicious. We were so full and remembered we still had dessert coming - so portions were very generous.

I went to Bubo last Tuesday to catch up with a couple of friends I have not seen in some time. The vibes and the food were both excellent (the halloumi and Pita sandwiches were amazing) and we all agreed it was the perfect place to meet up. I very much look forward to going back in the near future.

My husband and I came in on a rainy day and was pleasantly surprised at how excellent this brunch was! John our server provided excellent service and recommendations. I ended up booking their private space for an event! Highly recommend!! Great food, great atmosphere and an absolutely stunning bar.

Everything was amazing- from the service, to the ambiance, to the food to the drinks!Lexie was an amazing hostess. She was attentive, sweet and fast!The octopus was so tender. The wagyu burger melted in my mouth (even though I ordered it well done), my partner’s salmon was cooked perfectly.The wines (happy hour) were tasty and aromatic.Our experience exceeded our expectations and we’ll be back!

Excellent food, classy vibes, good drinks. The halloumi on toast was surprising delicious, as was the grilled octopus and cauliflower. Is was super empty when we were there at 5pm on a Sunday 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nice outdoor seating too (long picnic tables)

Best brunch at the best price…!!Delicious omelett and fried chicken waffles + crème brulé for the price of the 2 mimosas you get with these.!!!24$, coffee included too.Worth travelling across town! John gave us excellent service as well.5 stars all the way!!!Just get there NOW! Lol

Only half of the wait staff is friendly. Some will glare at you or answer your questions rudely, or be short with you. I had to flag the bartender down for 10 minutes to even get the drink menu and order even though there was only 1 couple at the bar with drinks.Their drink menu is great but not all bartenders even know their signature cocktails so every order will taste different and inconsistent.They should train their staff to be a lot friendlier and provide a better service. Otherwise, I love how much room there is (even outdoor seating), and the noise level/ambience.

Bubo is my favorite place to eat and have a drink in Murray Hill. It has a great neighborhood crowd but is also worth a cab ride from Times Square for anyone visiting that wants to get out of the crowd.The service is great! We always get a dozen oysters and the roasted shishito peppers. We have tried other things on the menu as well. The lamb and veal meatballs are a staple as well.Bubo is very clean and is tasteful adorned and designed.

Review 11 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 5)
Best brunch deal in the city probably. $21 for two alcoholic drinks, coffee, a main and dessert. Plus its really good with great service and atmosphere. Awesome place!

Review 12 (2024-08-14 - Rating: 5)
Stylish cocktail bar and restaurant in Murray Hill.My partner and I have stopped in a few times for drinks and oysters. Service is friendly, cocktails are exceptional, and the oysters are fresh. The food menu is also large, if you are feeling hungry.There is plenty of seating at the bar or tables if you arrive earlier (before 8pm).

Review 13 (2018-03-14 - Rating: 5)
If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with great food and drinks - this is the place!! We used to live across the street and been here several times before choosing their private room for our birthday party. And it was perfect!! Thank you for the delicious food, great service and hospitality!! We will be back for dinner and drinks soon!!

I liked the atmosphere and most of the dishes, I recommend the fried calamari, the oysters, the eggplant and the mushroom flatbread.

Lovely place on 3rs Avenue among a sea of other bars. Service was friendly. Cocktails were great. Food was very good. Enjoyed their happy hour menu especially with the oysters deal

Review 16 (2023-05-28 - Rating: 5)
We come to a Bubo for John. He is the best waiter in Murray Hill. The brunch menu is out of this world. There is a $24 pre fix menu that comes with TWO mimosas, a meal, a coffee, AND DESSERT. Couldn’t recommend it enough 💓

Review 17 (2023-11-26 - Rating: 5)
Highly recommend Bubo for your next dinner option or happy hour! The food is delicious and offers much more variety than your typical bars. The ambiance was warm and cozy and a great spot for a date night or hanging out with some friends. It’s located near a great area with the subway close by which makes commuting that much easier. Would love to come try their brunch next!

Review 18 (2018-12-30 - Rating: 4)
Happy hour from 4p-6:30p includes a few beers and wines. It does not include cocktails. They also have tasty $1 oysters, sweet and not too briny, at the bar during this time frame. Outside the restaurant there is a sign advertising $1 oysters, but note that the deal is only available during happy hour. I thought that was a bit misleading and when I called to confirm, the woman I spoke with told me she wasnt sure. She suggested that I come in and ask instead. That seemed a bit silly. On another note, Bubos brunch food is also affordable and tasty. In short, I do recommend this and will be returning.

Review 19 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)
Bubo excels in both service and culinary creativity. If youre looking for a spot where you can enjoy fantastic food in a welcoming environment, make sure to try their watermelon salad—you wont be disappointed!

Awesome cocktail bar with an intimate atmosphere and phenomenal staff. The cocktails we had were delicious and the prices werent too bad for pours of whiskey which I respect and appreciate. Would come back.

Good for brunch, although they don’t offer the lunch menu when they offer brunch.The salmon tartare was simply delicious.

Review 22 (2023-05-13 - Rating: 5)
Their brunch was delicious and they have a really nice set for $24 on weekends. It included two drinks, a beverage, main, AND dessert!!! Really great price for the amount and quality of food. The service was also amazing-John was our server and he was the sweetest! He was super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Would definitely come back and recommend!!!

Review 23 (2023-05-24 - Rating: 5)
Consistently good food and friendly staff. Burger is arguably best in the neighborhood if youre willing to go for the price. The tacos and the chicken soup are great. I also like their ragu. My wife and daughter often split the lamb shank. Daughter is also a fan of the pasta.

Review 24 (2021-11-05 - Rating: 5)
Decent happy hour spot after work. Their cocktail list didnt have the variety I was hoping for, so that was a little disappointing. When in doubt get wine.

Review 25 (2018-05-25 - Rating: 5)
Bar/Restaurant serving small plates with Mediterranean vibes, full bar and a happy hour specials. 5 stars for the decor and classy af bar seating in the dining room.

I had my birthday here for the past 4 years, and I highly recommend this for a private gathering. They designate a bartender in the back and the decor is absolutely stunning. They really pay attention to the details, such as having byredo soap in their bathrooms and pristine glassware. Surprisingly it’s no frills and very affordable. Great friendly service and quality is out of this world

Review 28 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 5)
It is a very nice place, it´s food, it´s style and the service are really wonderful.

Review 29 (2023-03-20 - Rating: 5)
Reached out to Bubo to have a birthday gathering, and the team was so responsive, patient, and informational. There was a lot of back and forth communicating all the details, but the team and waitstaff were so accommodating and understanding, which I am so grateful for.The night of my birthday, everyone had a great time in the cozy space at the back of the restaurant, which was semi-private and allowed everyone to really get to talk with one another. The food also came very quickly, despite it being a busy Friday night at the front of the restaurant. We all really liked their array of choices on the menu, and thought everything was delicious: from the flatbreads to charcuterie board, tacos, grilled halloumi and more...) Drinks were great, and I really want to thank the team for their hospitality!For anyone looking to host a gathering for personal purposes, or even corporate events, I highly highly recommend Bubo. Elizabeth from their team is so thoughtful and an absolute joy to work with and plan. Thank you to everyone at Bubo!

A wonderful little place that is off the beaten path. . Or is it??? Can there be an off the beaten path in NYC??? Amazing French onion soup... like the people who work here are from France??? A great outdoor seating section and the inside is pretty cool. Great staff that is very friendly, and knkws the menu well!!! The music is great and we were in fir a special treat as aregular was at the bar and man could he sing. What a truly great experience.

I had my groups holiday party at Bubo last night. From the minute I started working with Andrea to the end of the event it was a enjoyable experience. The room in the back was perfect for our group size. The space is amazing and the best for a private party with comfy furniture and the look of being in a friends house. The food was delicious and we plentiful, and even had lots left over. The bartender was very attentive and and polite. My guests all commented how great the venue was. I highly recommend this space for a private event and the pricing was very fair. Thank you Andrea and Luke and all the other staff, for an amazing night 12/20/2018. Lawrence

Juliana and Belle were incredible! Will be back soon. Consistently delicious drinks, prompt service, and a great vibe. My go to spot in midtown

Review 34 (2021-03-29 - Rating: 4)
Nice atmosphere and the staff was pleasant. Pretty much no vegan options short of plain French fries. I ordered a Greek salad without cheese which was good, and the dressing the delicious, but without cheese it’s a very small dish with just a few tomatoes, sweet pepper rings, and onions. More options for restricted diets would be appreciated.

Review 35 (2024-11-14 - Rating: 5)
Still one of my favorites!

Review 36 (2019-05-08 - Rating: 5)
I almost never write reviews, but for Bubo its deserved. I am there 1-2 times each week. Great change from the usual establishments in Murray Hill, and its easily my favorite spot in the neighborhood. Food and cocktails are top-notch. Try the zuchinni fritters, octopus and the pork belly. The 4 Aces and Boulevardier are my go-to drinks. The place is also lovely and the staff are super attentive.Separately, they have an amazing library area and back bar for parties. I celebrated a milestone birthday at Bubo for 50+ people and everything was just perfect. We loved every minute. Talk to Andrea (the chef) if youre interested in that. She custom-made my menu and added some off-menu items. Everything was delicious. I cant say enough good things. If you are thinking about checking it out, just go!

Review 37 (2021-09-19 - Rating: 5)
Great neighborhood bar with good cocktails. I didnt try the food, aside from a few bites of an apple pie, but the (Greek/Mediterranean) menu looked very promising (oysters!), and I would like to try it next time Im here.One important thing to note, I feel, is that this bar is actually much larger than it initially appears, which is why I put neighborhood in quotation marks. (There is what I initially thought was a somewhat similar bar in my neighborhood, but bearing this in mind, it is merely a fraction of the size.) Walking behind the curtains is vaguely like exploring a long-lost Egyptian tomb; it just keeps going on and on. The salience of this, I think, is that this is an excellent venue for parties or other private events: they will have space!

Review 38 (2024-05-20 - Rating: 5)
Really fun spot in Midtown.Lexi and Mia are so nice and make their own cocktails for us.

Review 39 (2021-07-02 - Rating: 5)
Review for Brunch - comfortable and welcoming environment. They had outdoor seating with some cover - to allow in the sun without it burning on you. They were quite busy but we got in without a long wait (

Review 40 (2024-08-08 - Rating: 5)
Been in NYC for 3 months now, and I can say that Bubo has the best service, the nicest staff and the most delicious food. Authentic, delicious and an amazing atmosphere. 100% recommended to all!

Review 41 (2021-09-27 - Rating: 4)
Went for brunch outdoors. Ordered one prefix with omelet and a avacado Benedict. The Benedict was amazing. The omelet was just ok and had too much spinach for my tastes. The breakfast potatoes were delicious. Really enjoyable breakfast.

Review 42 (2023-05-21 - Rating: 5)
The food was amazing and the service was even better. They also have a fix for $24 that includes a main, a beverage, two drinks, and a desert on the weekends.

Great place for someone looking for good food and drinks in a fancy, affordable and relax venue. Easy to have conversations without yelling at each other which is a plus for me. The doctor is gorgeous very classy.

Review 44 (2019-09-28 - Rating: 5)
What a hidden gem! The prix fixe brunch is an amazing deal with 2 drinks (mimosa or prosecco), 1 non alcoholic drink and 1 entree for an extremely reasonable price and excellent food. Ive been here for an engagement party and can attest to the excellent service, food, and drinks.

Review 45 (2022-04-19 - Rating: 5)
Technically went for a party in the back room but the drinks, ambiance, and the apps were very good. Had a nice spread of charcuterie with flat bread pizza, nuts, and more. Drinks were strong too!

Cute little bar with a flair. The interior design is amazing and makes you feel like youre in a swanky New York City mad men episode. The food here is pretty good too. Check out the bathroom downstairs - the mirrors make it too good of a place to take selfies haha. There are a few small high tables near the front but nice couches in the back - probably for when the place gets a little more crowded. I love the artwork on the walls! Cute date night place!

If you’re looking for a brunch - with both a trendy vibe and a quality meal.. BUBO in Murray Hill is your place. Let’s be honest, most NYC brunches don’t have the best meals. Bubo offers an unbelievable deal..consisting of 2 mimosas PER PERSON (real ones with a higher champagne to orange juice ratio) along with a choice of a tea/coffee.. and a meal (burger, chicken & waffles, or a omelette of your choice).

Insanely good brunch deal, two drinks plus a meal and dessert for 24 dollars! Food was as good or better than any brunch I’ve had in the city and John our server is amazing. We’ve had him multiple times now and he’s incredibly friendly and personable with everyone, just makes the vibes 100x better. This place should be so much busier than it is. But for now enjoy being able to walk into an incredible place at any point with no wait.

Had an absolutely lovely brunch here. $24 prix fixe gets you two cocktails, a juice or coffee, a main and a dessert. Whats even better - they didnt skimp on quality, portion sizes or water down the drinks - everything was delicious! Its also an enormously adorable restaurant/bar, much more chic than what I expected from this neighborhood (sorry Murray Hill). Will return!

Review 94 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)
For anybody in Greece 4/5: grilled octopus, a dish that might, in ordinary noons, grant you limp glances of boredom from your fellow diners as you order--seeming to be unadventurous and banal. This dish, however, is reimagined; decorated with lemon, and festooned by a smooth, non-cloying lemon dressing that separates the mystical from the divine: it is worth the trip--and the traffic--for this assembly.

I found this place because I was looking for a wine bar. Little did I know it’s way more. It’s a tapas and wine bar.

If youre looking for a place with outstanding food, vibe, and service, do go to Bubo NYC ❤️ Had to write this review to rave about our wonderful waiter, John. He was the sweetest, and he made my Saturday with my girls even more memorable with his thoughtful service.The brunch prie fix is s a remarkably nice deal as well: $24 for a cocktail, beverage, entreé and dessert. Honestly, I dont know where else youll find a deal like that in NYC (if you do, please let me know).

Came here with a few friends after work and loved the outdoor setup they have. The drinks were great and if youre as big a fan of cider as I am - I highly recommend the black cherry cider. Cant comment to the food as we didnt have any but I hear good things!

Great space. A gem I’m Murray Hill. Totally over-delivered.

I went there with a couple of friends from out of town. The bar was closing soon and we ordered a few beers. They have good selection of beers and the waiter was kins enough to give us a moment to see through the menu. Very chilled out ambience. I would love to drop by myself and relax here. They have a lounge area at the end of the place which is relaxed and open with lots of books on the shelf for decor. The whole place is tastefully done and is painted in my favorite color , blue.Be sure to check it out. Its right in the line of mercury bar, Joshua tree.

Best deal for oysters in the City. Get there before 6:30 p.m. Fresh and beautifully served. And the rest of the menue is excellent too. Madeline is a gracious and thoughtful bartender. Worth a visit.

One of the best places in my book.... the bartender “John is a great guy..... treated you like a human being” great services and big bathroom a plus!

Went for brunch on accident since other options were too crowded so had low expectations, but the experience was fantastic! Very cool aesthetics (especially the dishware) with appetizing food and it is surprisingly affordable... $19 gets you 2 mimosas, coffee, and an entree (other combos as well). Not a place for boozy brunch nor a spot to watch sport teams, but a West Village-like venue on the East Side that is worth the visit.

While I’m more of a Ted’s person, Bubo is great for a little bit of a “nice night out” vibe. The attention to detail that this bar owner has is mind blowing.

The chicken and waffles are to die for. Their Sunday $1 oysters are magnificent. I highly recommend the this place. The decor is understated with a bit of old world charm.

Came to Bubo for some dinner and drinks and loooved it here! The vibes were dreamy- classy yet cozy- perfect for a catch up with friends or a date. The oysters, from MA, were perfectly sweet & so fresh, served with lemon and grapefruit- a MUST try and the best dish we ordered. Also loved the pork belly flatbread, roasted shishito peppers, organic tricolor carrots, cumin roasted cauliflower , and shrimp & mussels pappardelle. The cocktails we tried- four aces & whiskey sour- were amazing and great recommendations from the bartender. The beers on draft were also delicious- loved the nitro stout and cider! Can’t forget the olive oil cake dessert that was served with vanilla bean ice cream- devoured to the last bite. Lastly all of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this spot for anyone looking for solid bar bites & cocktails in a lovely atmosphere.
