What the community says
“The pool machine charged us $20, but it did not return any change. When we asked about it, the staff refused to help and told us to leave instead of resolving the issue. The bartender claimed to be the manager, but that did not appear to be true. This was extremely disappointing and disrespectful customer service. If you value your time, money, and basic respect as a customer, I would not recommend this bar.”
“Juan Pablo is the best bartender in the world, and I wish we had bartenders like him in NYC. Thanks for the hospitality and the cocktails!”
“Cutest lil’ booth to catch up with our friend. This is Frenchy The Pug, 15/16. She slept the whole time but gave us a photo opportunity for just a moment. Guinness on tap. Enough said. It was our first time here. We will be going back.”
