Siovonne: Great place for cocktails. Food was great, and the design of dining in a library is even better.
The Wall Street Journal: Options include the pickle plate and marinated olives, as well as peekytoe crab rolls, which are more like sliders, and ruby red shrimp tacos. Read more.
Serious Eats: Solid menu of American classics and excellent cocktails; a great bet for a pre- or post-show meal.

sofie geo: Really nice historical building, cool interior and a super interesting selection of beers. Try the "porterhouse nitro red"
Caitlin Clements: George Washington drank here...
The Corcoran Group: If this place was George Washington's favorite, then it's ok in our book! While it's known for its whiskey selection, the extensive beer list is not to be ignored. We usually go for the beer flights.

Pub · Greenwich Village · 112 tips and reviews
Stephanie P.: Cheap craft beers, excellent original cocktails (and mainstream favorites!) and cheap good food. Only real downside? They're CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM in the back though #eyeroll
Mashable: This dive bar in the West Village has a young crowd, an amazing jukebox, and great selection of beers and mixed drinks. - Brett Petersel
Ray Lin: It may be a little peculiar seeing this kind of dive pub in the West Village amongst all the fratty bars, but it's a diamond in the rough because of the fabulous global beer selection.
Natalia Baker: Amazing pizza - super light and delish. Can get half & half with toppings so you can share as they are huge!
Rachel Sklar: Honestly for the prices, wait times and hype, this place is REALLY not all that. Have never been all that impressed. Leave it for the tourists.
Kent: First pizzeria in the US? Oh yaaaaa, I am so there. Read more.
