    Came here in the summer for a team building event at my work. The space was beautiful and inviting. There are so many different spaces for having a large get together or a small, personal event. The staff were friendly and engaging. We had a pre-ordered menu of wings, meatballs, chicken, salad, pasta and several other dishes. The food was delicious-especially the wings. My team loved them. The pizza was very good and there is an area where you can watch them make it. The bar had several different draft beers and micro-brewery selections. The bar is also quite large, with space for a large gathering. I would definitely return for a more personal gathering. This is a great location for wedding receptions, showers, sports viewing parties and probably any other gathering you can think of!

    Literally amazing! Holy cow, the food was delicious!! I got the wood fire chicken and let me tell you, I eat chicken FREQUENTLY and this is by far the best chicken I think I’ve ever had!!Dalila was my server and she was so kind and checked in on just the right times!! She also was so helpful explaining the menu to a Kansan like me :)Also.. this place is a MEGA vibe!! So moody and relaxing! Cannot recommend it enough!!

    We had the best time at Ainslie Bowery! Thank you, Bela, for taking such good care of us and helping to make it a special event. We had a private room for 18 people (can easily fit more) for a family celebration. The pre-fixe family style menus were personalized, two managers checked in on us during the evening, and, all the food and drinks were excellent, plenty, and perfectly timed! All the food got rave reviews for quality and taste, which is tough to pull off for a large group family style meal. This was our first time experiencing Ainslie Bowery and we will definitely be back. A terrific, fun, location for small or large parties, events, or just a night out.

    I came here for a nice group brunch back in March. The pizzas were a great add for the table. The pasta and aracini were standards. If youre looking for great cocktails and 90s/early 00s vibes this is your place.

  • Review 6 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    The restaurant itself is beautiful . The service was great. The food was also great. Went with a group of 13 , did the prefix family style menu which was $42 per person. The portions were large enough to share . The options were plentiful. The pasta was great(cacio e Pepe and penne alla vodka) , the margarita pizza was also great as was the arancini, which was the best thing on the menu. The wings I can’t say I loved . I had 2 non alcoholic drinks ,they were outstanding and the alcoholic drinks got good reviews from my friends . The space is very large. Google photos don’t do it justice. Looking forward to going during the warmer weather since they have outdoor seating options and also would love to check out the standard menu.

    Absolutely delightful all around. Exceptional service. Fun atmosphere. Great DJ. Very reasonably priced for brunch.

    Fun beer garden. It is a little noisy as the restaurant was packed, so if you prefer a quiet intimate dinner, this may not be your place. But if you are in the mood for noise, fun and laughter, Ainsley is the spot,The beer, cocktails, starters and entrees were all delicious. They serve you as soon as the items are ready. We enjoyed the chicken wings, arugula salad, burrata, french fries and the house marinated olives. For dinner, we had the pasta pomodoro, cacio e pepe and house made papardelle. Good portions and we had leftovers.

    The food is absolutely incredible!! I will be dreaming about the truffle fries for the rest of my life. We got a family style brunch and not only was the food amazing, but the service was quick and convenient.Great prices as well and games in the back!

    Im a fan of Ainslie in Williamsburg so I had high hopes for the new Bowery location. I was pleasantly surprised by huge and stunning the space was but they definitely took advantage of it and made great use of each corner. Depending on what type of ambiance you want, the restaurant is separated in different sections. I went in for a more quiet and intimate dinner so I was seated in the back and I had a great experience. The food was also delicious. My only complaint was that they brought the entrees while we were still eating the appetizers even though we told them we wanted them afterwards. Other than that, I had a great time and would go back.

  • Review 11 (2022-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    I visited Ainslie for the first time for some cute one on one time with my mom, and we had a ball. I immediately fell in love with the interior- it is so warm and inviting - covered in little accent pieces like velvet pillows and chairs, chandeliers over tables, small warm spotlights and wood finishes. Obsessed. Also theres an air hockey table and a foozeball table. Two bars make sure everyone gets a drink!I ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail, was so happy they had that option, to start me off. Super refreshing and green. For starters we ordered the Shrimp Scamp, it came in a cute little dish and we shared it, very flavorful broth that paired well with the bread. We jumped right into pizza with the Saltimbocca, easily my fave of the evening - dough was wonderfully soft yet crisp. Toppings were put on liberally.The Salmon was good, nice and fatty and tender, the broccoli rabe was such a great way to compliment our meal and the House-made Ragu was great. Nice bite. Lots of meat in the sauce was a pleasant shock!So, totally recommend for dinner dates, after work hang outs and everything else lol, would love to visit them for brunch sometime too!

  • Review 12 (2023-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    Every component at Ainslie from the regional wines to housemade pastas sang with the flavors of Italia. And the variety of spaces all united by fine hospitality made us feel part of one big family!

  • Review 13 (2022-10-09 - Rating: 4)

    Have been waiting for Ainslie to open for months. Finally happened!! I went early and ate at the bar. Great vibe, delicious food and wonderful staff. Of all the things I tried (some of which I took home with me), my favorites included the Wood Fired Beets w/ Labneh & Toasted Almonds, the Diavola pizza with spicy salami,, the Burrata (amazing!!). The bartender also makes a fabulous perfect Manhattan. The only menu items that I was underwhelmed by were the brussels sprouts which are normally a fave of mine. I also tried the Linguini Vongole with littleneck clams which was good but not what I would probably order again here vs. the pizza. Im giving it a 4 instead of 5 only because while at 5pm it was really chill, not too much later in the evening, I sense it will be quite a scene and most likely pretty loud. It just opened but its clearly going to be super popular - especially for larger groups. Ainslie has lots of tables with seating for 6-8, as well games, e.g., foosball and cornhole.

    Good is very good but not life-changing. The vibe is the same: very pleasant but not incredible. The service was excellent and the prices are great. Ill be back if Im in the area, but its not worth its own trip across the city.

  • Review 19 (2024-03-23 - Rating: 5)

    Great dining experience! We came here for my cousins birthday dinner, since we were a lot of people we did the family style and they were able to make me a small gluten free pasta since I couldn’t eat the pasta the table ordered. The arugula salad was so fresh and delicious! The charcuterie board was really good, although it was a little small as they only brought out one board for everyone to share, but everything else they brought 2 out of. The burrata was really good as well! Everyone said that the food they ate was really good! They have cocktails and mocktails as well. The vibes were amazing and so was the service!

  • Review 20 (2024-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the food was great! Had the penne alla vodka pasta and margarita pizza and both were so yummy. Had great service and Arturo was the best. He came out with our food really quick and had good recommendations!

  • Review 24 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    This place is great for food, drinks and a great atmosphere. Got the pizza and a beer. Wasnt too cold, so a lot of people in the first dining area. Great, they have some games inside and outside as well. They have a nice range of different beverages and also non alcoholic. A large group or two people can enjoy the space and great people watching. The service was spectacular . Didnt wait long for our food or drinks!

    Good restaurant for Italian pizza + pork ragu and wine.

  • Review 27 (2023-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    My dish was recommended by the server and it was so good that I had to immediately make sure that I could find a recipe online... because I live in Maine, and refuse to live a life without orecchiette ever again... I find it hard to believe that we will be able to recreate this gem half as well up where I am from, but this was a delightful highlight for our trip to NYC.

  • Review 35 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    Food was delish - Orecchiette with sausage and rabe was impressive, very tasty and a large portion. Everyone elses food was delish too!Hip brunch spot, though a little on the young end which matches the volume of the music. We are defo on our way to old & cranky, but not there yet in our early 30s, and the music was a tad too loud for 4pm. That made it hard to talk and meant we moved on for drinks elsewhere faster than we would have otherwise.

    Came in after a very long bad day, my mother and I were welcomed here and assigned one of the best servers ever! My Server was Bela she really turned my day around, haven’t seen my mother laugh like that in a while! Everytime we got our Don Julio margs (servers recommendation) it came quickly and made perfect. Next time gonna bring the whole family and reserve one of those private rooms Bela told me about. Thank you!

    Reviewing for Yelp Elite Event:I was only able to stop by here for a half hour, as I had a Mens League game to absolutely dominate at 7pm.These non +1 Yelp Elite Events are always interesting ahahaha as you have to mingle with people you dont know. I feel like Im back in my Freshman year of college. If youre like me, youre really shy, insecure, and introverted and the game of social dynamics doesnt come natural to you. I feel like Shaq shooting a free throw at times.The name of the game is to find one person who is in the same boat as you and latch onto them like a buoy in open water...Ok I know there are likely no buoys in open water but work with me here ahahaa. Shoutout to my boy Andy R. who became my life raft for the night!Andy and I stood there about 10 steps away from the DJ in the beautiful open space of the Ainslie Bowery, taking in the sheer demographics of Yelp Elites in NYC. Seemingly every age and every race represented it was actually kinda beautiful I cant even lie.We went up a few stairs to go get some food, and I just went with 2 slices of pizza as I needed to carbo-load for the upcoming game I needed to dominate.The pizza was honestly not good, as I couldnt even really bite through it lol but I completely understand how hard cooking in bulk is and who knows how long it had been sitting there. I saw some fresh pizza being served to people at tables while I was walking in and it looked GAS.Ainslie Bowery was a FANTASTIC space to host an event, and I always love these big open restaurants with a lot of square footage in NYC, as they are few and far between.And no, we didnt win our Mens League game. It was a bitter, bitter pill to swallow and Im still licking my wounds tbh, but this will only make us stronger as a group and as a unit. WE WILL BOUNCE BACK THIS WEEK!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

    Located in the heart of Bowery, Ainslie -- which has its original establishment in Brooklyn -- has expanded the portfolio with this Manhattan outpost where you can indulge in delicious appetizers, pasta, and meat dishes.Ainslie in downtown Manhattans Bowery neighborhood features 20,000 square feet of area that includes a beer garden, a beer hall, and a game area. This Italian wine bar and restaurant with an open kitchen serves wood-fired pizzas and classics like lasagna, branzino, and much more.Wood Fired Rosemary Wings / Salt and Pepper RibsThese appetizers are perfect for sharing and carnivores dream! The Wood-Fired Rosemary Wings are absolutely mouth-watering and served with a side of savory Gorgonzola Dulce sauce. The Salt and Pepper Ribs are a bit on the dry side and overcooked, but the meat just falls off the bone.Grilled BranzinoThe Grilled Branzino has crispy skin and lean juicy meat. Its served with a side of sauteed spinach and roasted cauliflower for a perfectly balanced dish.Free Range Hanger SteakCooked to your desire (in my case, rare!), the Hanger Steak is extremely tender and melts in your mouth. The watercress salad in balsamic dressing on the side pairs well with the steak, along with the truffle fries.

    Here for a special event. The food was great - all served as a buffet. Really liked the space. There are several sections, a front, big middle, and back section.

    Wow! I came here for Salsa night and it was super lively and hectic, with a good gender ratio. Music was good and there was Salsa, Bachata, and Reggaeton. Inspired me to get back into learning Cuban Salsa so I can actually dance here!

    Came here after work with some friends and had a good time. The service was great and the food was delicious. I had the Ainslie burger cooked to medium and it was perfect. It comes with Gorgonzola but I asked to swap that with mozzarella and they were accommodating. Really great tasting burger. Also liked the truffle fries that come on the side. There’s also some fun games around like shuffle board or cornhole so that was a fun way to end the night.

    Came in with a large group for a bachelorette party and we were seriously impressed. Had exceptional service from Arturo who was personable, attentive, and made great recommendations. We had the bottomless brunch/family style options and were blown away by the sheer quantity of the food. Try the burrata and cacio e Pepe. They were crowd pleasers.

    Came to check it out in passing on a weekday. The space is huge and it was busy but not extremely packed. I had just missed happy hour but I got a snack and a beer at the bar. The meatballs were pretty good and came out quick since I only took a few sips before it got to me.They have a back bar as well and will also have a downstairs eventually. Place was done well but there are no TVs if you were looking to watch the game.

  • Review 128 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Ainslie! The food was fantastic, service good, and the space is huge and comfortable. We had a large party so ate off of a pre-fixe menu. The portions are generous and the prices super reasonable. We had the kale Caesar salad, arancini, meatballs, and burrata to start. All were superb. The arancini was perfectly cheesy and not too greasy. Our mains were the margherita pizza, pappardelle, and orecchiette pasta. The mains were also tasty and plenty of food. The cocktail list is small but well done. I would absolutely come back here with a large party!

  • Review 129 (2024-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Place is awesome to be honest, massive. Nice ambience, very good vibes, clean and comfortable, good friendly staff. They just need a solid dj to keep the place pumping.

  • Review 132 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Bottomless brunch for a good price in hyper-inflated 2024. Your drunkness should be directly proportional to inflation. If you stumble out of here at 1:30 you did not capitalize on the bottomless........ I want you face-first on the floor, the staff panicking, your friends unconcerned because theyre also face-first. That. Is a good brunch

  • Review 133 (2024-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    I love going to Ainslie. While the food and drinks are EXCELLENT, I go back regularly because of the salsa socials hosted by DJ John John in the Underground and Wine Room and because of a very specific bartender named Zachary. Zachary alone gives me the Cheers vibe; always knows my name, my drink, and me.

  • Review 134 (2024-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    Our search for rentable spaces for parties led us to Ainslie, and we couldn’t be happier. The space was adaptable to our needs, offering a mix of indoor and outdoor areas. The Bowery location provided a vibrant backdrop for our event, and the staff ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish

    I love the Bowery location just as much as the one in Williamsburg. Beautiful and airy environment with different feels depending where you sit (garden, beer hall, wine room). Happy hour specials include food and drink which is awesome. Great pizza for $8!!! They also take reservations. I will come again and again.

  • Review 177 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 4)

    Fun spot to go with friends, but late night crowd cleared out by 8/9pm. The way everything is set up makes you think its a place to hang for the night but rooms empty out and its a little weird. I think the space might be too big -- maybe if they only opened the front rooms itd be better? But food and drinks were good enough

  • Review 178 (2023-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    The only way to do a weekend in nyc is with Ainslie brunch! Great prices, great food, and great service! Hands down my favorite bottomless brunch spot in Manhattan!
