Michael DonovanOctober 23, 2016You can also buy black market weapons here too. Bring in 3 bitcoins and they'll take you to the back room that leads to the Silk Road. You have to be naked though.- Nate BeattyJune 22, 2015Drinks are excellent. For food, the veggie burger is homemade (good) but small and on a gross bun. The Niçoise salad is amazing and a saving grace for Black Market dinner
Beatrice M.June 20, 2013Possibly the darkest restaurant Ive been to which is a bit annoying.Food is great though! Both the grilled cheese and cheeseburger were awesome, not to mention the fries. 12$ per dish so v reasonable.
Erin CartwrightMay 16, 2016Really great burgers here - best in EV as far as I'm concerned. Cracked Kale is also delish!
New York HabitatOctober 25, 2011This East Village spot has one of the best burgers in town so don't leave without trying it. There are knowledgable bartenders here as well if you're looking for a good cocktail.
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011The star of the no-frills menu here is the sizable cheeseburger ($12): Made with well-seasoned, griddled patties, the hefty sandwich oozes melted American cheese from beneath a toasted potato bun. Read more
Breeze SkrrtAugust 3, 2015Server acted like she was doing us a favor. Drinks are cool but there are 10 great cocktail bars in the neighborhood. It'll do for a 2nd date if you need it.
Peter ScordoOctober 9, 2016Burger is 👌🏽 one of the best I've ever had. Or that may have been the 🍸 I had with it that is skewing my opinion.
one of the best burgers in new york city - affordable, great taste and size, awesome fries
Party EarthApril 3, 2012“The actual entrance is to the right of the gates which are never open. Don't miss out on stopping here for ridiculously good burgers.” More info at
Tim McClureJune 27, 2015They have a $1 oyster happy hour during the week from 5-7, BUT they aren't very good. We couldn't finish all of them. Good for drinks, though.
Serious EatsApril 19, 2013Chef Spencer Rubin suggests their burger for its juicy, salty, meaty perfection.
Sara KafkaMarch 19, 2015Great food and great cocktails. Cozy, great lightning and atmosphere. Brooklyn vibe in the city.
Giovanni D'PalmaSeptember 10, 2016The burger is a must try. Also the kale chips and deviled eggs are great.- Serious EatsApril 17, 2013A bar with a strong focus on food. Serves juicy, well-griddled burgers that don't shy away from the salt.
Karin BäcklundJanuary 19, 2016The crowd is young and loud, sometimes even famous. The service is good just like the veggieburger :)
Mirza NagjiNovember 26, 2014The bacon cheeseburger is my favorite in the city. No frills and delicious- Max WendkosDecember 31, 2015Good atmosphere, but came away pretty unimpressed by the burger. Really surprising to me that people are recommending it.
Kari YNovember 17, 2014Great burger, yummy salad, cocktails are great, good for groups, comfortable setting.
Patrick BaskinMay 22, 2014Grilled cheese is amazing, cheddar cheese + gruyere perfectly melted and toasted
Split the Omelette and Shrimp Cocktail. With someone. Yer Blues for cocktail. Finish with a beer.
Happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails 5-8 pm (currently this information is unattainable anywhere else). Also $15 for a burger and a beer during happy hour.
Cameron TolleOctober 1, 2012The menu on their website lies...There's no $10 unlimited brunch here. Go down to Sidewalk Cafe (6th/A) instead if you want endless drinks.
BarChickAugust 14, 2013Approach this place with swag: it’s black, white and cool all over.
nathan archambaultSeptember 28, 2012If you like eating at places that are really really really really really really really really dark, then eat here. The burger is delicious even if you can't see it.
Amazing cocktails and don't forget to order a cheeseburger.
Hal KirklandMay 29, 2013Don't come in here looking to buy AKs. They don't sell them ,no matter how many secret hand shakes u know. Console yourself that if u can't buy it, you can't use it and to Ice Cube, that's a good day.- AP PaglioneJuly 16, 2010Start with the half dozen oysters and make sure to order the cheeseburger. Crazy good drinks and top notch service too.
Mac CappuccinoNovember 19, 2010stick to menu cocktails. waiter seems like he just shot heroin (intentionally I'm sure). Manhattan and Martini were made with buckets of fail. Yer blues cocktail was delightful.
Chris MessinaApril 27, 2014$2 to upgrade to a bottomless mimosa might be the best purchase you've ever made.
Apparently they're gonna have bone marrow. OH! And they use the same blend as Minetta Tavern/Shake Shack, so you know it's delicious.
Nicolette OrlemansDecember 11, 2012The Russian roulette cocktail is great. Fresh and a nice flavor balance.
Angela TruesdaleAugust 26, 2010Order the Border Radio...it has coconut infused horchata. Yeah. Do it.
