Great wings, good selection. Nice place for visitors /new to NYC & Village. PRO: Part sports bar, pub, and outdoors seating is flexible and fun; creative chef. CON: Bathrooms tiny and cheap-looking.
Matt LJuly 30, 2013The service was lousy my first time but I gave it a second chance and had a better server then. The food and margaritas are good. Fidy is a great waitress and is on top of everything. Very friendly.
Sunday brunch and football..need I say more! Great location to meet up with friends for drinks & a burger and view the Halloween Parade and Pride March.
Pamela AquinoAugust 17, 2013Awesome place for summer. Nice ambiance. Cheap margaritas and dinner specials with wine. Great spot. Outside eating was fab.
Paula WatsonNovember 28, 2015Stopped for lunch, great specials. The turkey club was fresh and delicious. Would return here
Jessica WickhamApril 18, 2017Good sports bar, basic drinks and food and lots of good sized screens visible from every seat
Rob TMarch 18, 2010The traffic moves past the window at a speed that reminds you your life is passing you by.
Makena CunninghamSeptember 13, 2013delicious bbq pulled chicken, deplorable service. the server had us write down our orders at the end -- who does that?
Martijn BuddingMay 19, 2013Pitcher of Sangria with a plate of nachos outside in the sun, and just watch people... :) Awesome!- Jeff McCordMay 31, 2013Sitting outside is great for people watching, and a twilight view of Freedom Tower is tourist-worty.
Ryan WilliamsNovember 18, 2012Look, here's what I got in descending order of goodness: apple crumble (2x) (in sequence, not parallel), nachos, eggplant parm, wings.
$17 prixe-fixe brunch is a great deal - an entree and bottomless drinks
Everything on the brunch menu is great. And it's cheap!
Great brunch with unlimited mimosas for $12.95. In NYC that is UNREAL!
Come on a Tuesday for strong drinks and great conversations.
Ariana AtwaterNovember 16, 2013Cheapest brunch in the city. $13.95 includes entree and unlimited drinks.
Pete HamillFebruary 16, 2013Our server literally didn't say a word to us. Luckily we were just there for a quick drink n good nuclear physics talk w Mr. Horoi
FaiserSeptember 16, 2009when you go to watch a pats playoff game in the midst of winter, don't be tempted to sit by the fire. it gets too hot. sit by the windows and you'll thank yourself later.
- Typical brunch menu. 1 hour of unlimited beverages. Yum frozen margaritas
Vito ZarrilloJanuary 16, 2011This place is great unless it's a Sunday during the winter. Then it's overrun by Mass-holes rooting for the Patriots.
VernaSeptember 15, 2012Get food elsewhere in the neighborhood but this is a great place to watch the Sox or Pats.
Topher AdamsApril 14, 2012These people are obviously haters. Both the food and the drinks are perfectly fine.
The sangria us always good. The Fire Island club us a great lunch option.
Jennifer ShumateAugust 11, 2012I've never heard of a banana margarita before, but it was damn tasty!
Brittany JamesJune 21, 2012The chicken fingers aren't worth it. You only get 3 with watery honey mustard and cocktail sauce...
Marina Noelia CabaneMay 30, 2016The location is good if you have room outside. Not crazy about drinks and food.
Zach MaierSeptember 30, 2012Lots of TVs in the lower room, covering most of Sunday football. Drinks are decently priced for NYC, food is mediocre bar food, but the service is atrocious.
Joe KanakarajSeptember 17, 2011Food is downright rank here. As well as the infestation of Boston sports fans.

"The dry aged Black Label Burger is relatively expensive but definitely top 3 burger of New York if not the best!"
Pouya - 9.0
"Still some of the best late night eats in NYC. Over the last 10 yrs, I've come here post-theater, post-nightclub, post-anything (even post-dinner!) just for their bone marrow w oxtail marmalade."
Risa - 8.8
"While dinner here is awesome, we prefer to eat at this hip spot for brunch - reservations are a must. The BLT+E is to die for, and what makes it extra delicious is that it's served on a croissant!"
