MaureenSeptember 21, 2014Spicy wings and BBQ wings were ridiculously delicious. Especially loved the complexity of those unforgettably spicy Indian spice inspired wings. Also enjoyed the most sumptuous Dark & Stormy libation!
Bradley KayFebruary 19, 2017Top all-rounder bar. Beers for that friend, wines for the other, and some good cocktails for the third. Plus good burgers and wings to keep everyone upright for rounds 2-4. Try the Zombie.
Probably come here too much. Amazing, huge wings, BIG burgers, and amazing pancakes after midnight. In December it's a different bar (santas surf shack)
CarlosMay 4, 2019One of my favorite places in LES. I always try to drop by when I am in town. The burgers are very tasty, and cocktails & beers are great too.
Time Out New YorkSeptember 18, 2014Golden Cadillac will reopen as Boilermaker today, with 12 taps for beer. Try the Honey Spiced Punch made with rum, lemon, falernum, honey and bitters. Fri, 9/19. Read more
Cole KennedyJune 27, 2019I walked by here a million times before stopping in. On a summer evening after work, with the windows open, it’s a perfect happy hour. The “Double Burger” is like a Big Mac with actual burger patties.
Village VoiceApril 3, 2015The real draw here, is the list of craft cocktails, some of which are on tap, priced significantly lower than most bars of this caliber. Pro tip: Order a basket of fries to go with your booze. Read more
Aparna MDecember 7, 2015Liked Golden Cadillac but love Sippin’ Santa’s Surf Shack popup, inspired by Beach Boys Xmas album! Plus, the mulled wine alt: hot Sexy Santa: brandy, cab sauv, cinnamon, bitters + grapefruit essence.
This is my favorite neighborhood spot! Casual vibes, great wings and amazing happy hour hour until 8 during the week. Fun spot for a chill hangout session!
Sam JonesFebruary 6, 2018My favourite bar in New York! Thanks for introducing me to a new rum and calming my nerves before a flight.
Tony XerriApril 9, 2016Damn, these guys know how to make a cocktail. And the fried chicken? Pretty point. Yeah, I'd definitely come here again soon.
William HubaJune 12, 2015Big range of cocktails, all expertly crafted, along with great beer and shot specials. The burger is sort of fast food style, but if tasty if that's what you're in the mood for.
Stellar cocktail menu. Excellent venue. Friendly staff. High quality experience without pretense.
Denis SosnovtsevSeptember 13, 2017The wings are gigantic and delicious; unclear what animal they are from. Burgers are tasty but teensy.
Great cocktails at $11 each can't be beat. Friendly staff, and make sure you ask for a cherry in your old fashioned. Solid cherry game.
Andie SleemanDecember 14, 2016Cocktails were so good. Bartender was knowledgeable. The waitress was uninterested in working; we would have stayed longer if our drinks weren't empty so long. Great happy hour cocktail selection.
Lori LuoDecember 18, 2015You'll find a number of Boilermakers (beer and shot pairings) here, in addition to a wide range of cocktails, beer, and tempting bar bites.
theaApril 3, 2017Ordering a Boilermaker means you don't ever have to say, "I'll have a beer and a shot," which is great/efficient. The burgers are also excellent. 👌🏼- DoubleDeuceNovember 18, 2018My favorite part about this place is when they turn into a holiday themed bar but it's also a solid spot for a cocktail the rest of the year.
Ebee DJuly 7, 2015The cocktails alone make this place worthwhile. The food looked and smelled really good. We shared fries, but will def be back for food too.
- Lears FoolOctober 11, 2015The beer+shot boilermaker specials are fun. The curried wings are good, but I prefer the Sriracha Honey across the street at Fool's Gold
Vivian RamirezFebruary 21, 2017Burgers and fries are great! Cocktails delicious! Great casual almost dive bar with solid cocktails and food.
Micah MoreauOctober 10, 2016$3 whiskey shot. Plus, Happy hour sazerac was well balanced and only $8. I've paid $18 for much worse ones. Pretty sweet drinking spot
Solid midweek bar with happy hour til 8pm and perfectly satisfying burgers and fries. Southside FTW.
Leah HammerschlagDecember 24, 2014The burger is awesome! One of the best in this area. The veggie chips are delish but expect amped up terra chips.
Melissa YuJuly 25, 2016Excellent cocktails — I'd recommend the Kentucky Buck for a refreshing summer bev. Good quality burgers, fries and veggie chips.
Emilio CApril 15, 2015The burgers here are your classic no frills and greasy American kind. Perfect for the right occasion.
Ryan CampbellMarch 27, 2018Great value, burger is pretty solid too. Beer/shot combos for $7-10. Dangerous.
They now have pancakes! The apple pancake with butterscotch sauce is amazing.
Sarah SpagnoloFebruary 21, 2015Order wine by the glass and you have basic options: white or red. Makes it easy, I guess?
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantDecember 11, 2014LOVE This place - very casual and cool with great cocktails!! Will def be back here.
Barton SmithSeptember 18, 2015The fries are thicker and soggier, just as I love them. None of that cardboard fries junk.
Billy JacobsonJuly 27, 2016The cocktails are good and well priced for happy hour. The vibe was meh though. Could be good for a large group since it was pretty empty. Wouldn't really recommend otherwise though.
Giovanni D'PalmaApril 17, 2016Try the boilermakers and do it right, shot in the beer. They have some great combinations
Venkatesh KondamSettyMay 5, 2015- Gabriel HayesApril 27, 2016Really like how the cocktail menu shows you what glass the drink will be served in.
Pro tip for the double cheeseburger: unhinge your jaw to make eating it easier.
Courtney WheelerOctober 17, 2014Great happy hour cocktails..even better burger. Hot damn I'm coming back!
