Lulu & Teddy's Cafe

First of all, I will start by providing some background information on this establishment. This location has been in operation for several years and underwent a rebranding approximately 4 or 5 years ago. It is known for being a family and pet-friendly environment, as it is named after the owners' dogs. Everyone is welcome at this establishment. It is important to address that the events that occurred during the Puerto Rican festival did not take place at our location. While our establishment is typically a safe and welcoming place, unfortunately, there are instances where individuals do not behave appropriately. It is disturbing to learn that a grown man behaved inappropriately towards a child, as we do not tolerate any form of sexual assault. It is worth noting that we have not had any incidents of sexual assault against women at our establishment. Such behavior is strictly prohibited. The incident involving an individual who fled from the location serves as a reminder of the importance of communities uniting against predators. Those familiar with the television show "Cheers" may find similarities in our establishment, as it is a place where regular patrons are known by name. Newcomers often have a positive experience and frequently return. If you find yourself in East Harlem, we invite you to visit Teddy's F&B, affectionately known as the "hood cheers." Thank you for considering us as a potential destination. FYI there is open mic on Tuesdays and Karaoke on Wednesdays. Come drink, eat, dance, play games or just vibe with us.

Whoahhh this place is amazing. Don’t even get me started on the bartenders (AMAZING) especially the red head Shana, what a natural beauty with a great personality. Such an inviting atmosphere, I would be here every day if I could be! NOM NOM NOM!

If you’re ever looking for a dive bar with a great environment and good food, stop by Teddys. Feast on food such as a Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich served with sweet potato fries, chopped cheese lettuce and tomato wrap and Teddy’s double cheeseburger served with lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo topped with an onion ring and many more. Great vibes, great bartenders, great drinks and great music. Also stop by for happy hour on Saturday from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Sunday and Monday from 5:00 Pm to 7:00 PM and get yourself some $5 Cocktails from classic margaritas, cosmo’s and hard lemonade, Draft beers Angry orchard, Modelo, Pacifico and Teddy’s Pilsners and Buckets of 6 from Corona, Modelo, Heineken and Budweiser. Always a good vibe.

Amazing staff, great atmosphere and great drinks! What else could you ask for?? Also there’s darts and pool it’s a whole vibe!!

This establishment is exceptional; my friend extended an invitation for drinks and everything was affordably priced. The cuisine was not only delicious but also fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised. Additionally, the staff's friendly demeanor and the welcoming atmosphere were notable, and patrons have the option to play music on the jukebox.

Great place to chill and have some affordable(strong) drinks 😄 The food is pretty good for a bar. My favorite is the turkey burger and seasoned fries! Can’t go wrong with some wings as well. I’ve had everything on the menu and it’s all good. As for some people complaining about prices. You can simply just ask how much something is first before ordering it 😌

Teddy's is a great local bar. My experiences here have always been fun. The atmosphere is nice. There is always a diverse crowd of people that frequent here. On Wednesdays they have a karaoke night. The menu has a wide variety of flavorful food. You'll never be disappointed! Empanadas are delicious. The wings are always crispy! They have salads and vegetarian options as well. They have fresh made to order pizza .They also have frozen drinks options catering to the hot summer weather. A nice Happy hour.. The staff is friendly and attentive. So make sure to come and check it out! I highly recommend this neighborhood staple!!

Amazing place! My absolute favorite spot to come and relax after work. Special thanks to bartender Monica - one of the best bartenders I know. Can't wait to go back for more shots!

Sometimes you wanna go where nobody knows your name, but they’re always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, troubles are all the same. You wanna be where nobody knows your name. First time here! Amazing attentive service, bartender was a great conversationalist! But the staff also let you relax and do your own thing. Get the mozzarella sticks or spicy cheese empanadas!!!

Best bar within twenty blocks in any direction—it's a great community feeling, food is fantastic, and you're not going to find drink specials like this anywhere in the city

Great vibes. The bar has two halves to it with a secret sliding bookshelf doorway between them; one half is calm and the other is livelier. The food’s great. The beef empanada is really well seasoned, the fried chicken sandwich is one of the best I’ve ever had, and there’s a very unique chopped cheese that’s in the form of wrap and it’s great too. The drinks are a steal. I can’t speak much to the cocktails but there’s this awesome deal of a canned beer and shot for $6 that I get frequently. Also, on Friday’s, AkA Freaky Friday’s, house shots are $3!

Great bar for some solid burgers and drinks! Usually friendly customers, hang out long enough and will have some new friends. Bartenders are friendly, food is hot and good. Despite recent reviews nothing seems to have degraded lately.

The former Duck customer in the area and saw the new Cafe at the main street entrance. Smart Idea for the new owner to utilize the space while having the bar with an entrance on the side street. The cafe closes at 6pm but before they do there is coffee, pastries, daily sandwich specials with wine and beer available too, yes it's still a bar. Staff for fun and I met one of the owners who was friendly and easy to talk too. It's up and coming so if you're in the area check it out.

Had the turkey burger, which didn't seem to be the forte of the place. Turkey burger was thin and dry, probably from frozen. The beef burger the other guest had was perfect. The seasoned fries were delicious! I asked the bartender about drink specials and he had nothing to say other than "A beer comes with a shot" I ordered a cranberry vodka and it was just that. I did like the atmosphere, the service was okay. The food, I didn't like that turkey burger at all.

Snappy bartender. She started saying hush while we cheered for the basketball game. Sucking teeth. Seems like she doesn't want to be there. Expensive $15 mixed drinks. Probably Won't Be Back

We have gone to Teddy’s before and I’ve had a nice experience. We visited today (5/19) and had the same drinks we always have. The difference is that I was charged $26 for a Don Julio Blanco! Not even in Times Square do you get charged that price for a 2oz drink. $15-$17 is understandable but for the area to be charged $26 is ridiculous. I asked the bartender because before I was charged $15 in the back area of Teddy’s and she said that is the price they charged. That the other times I’ve been there I was probably charged $15 for a shot by another bartender. Make it make sense. As much as this is my local spot, I can’t come again.

Warning avoid this restaurant at all cost! The management and staff handle situations in a completely unacceptable and violent manner. When a issue arose, instead of calling the authorities, they resort to physical altercation and threats. The owner and staff didn't call the police, including the older women who started and older male, along with a group of young men. Threatened to hit and even admitted one in ICU to the hospital with critical condition internal bleeding to the head. They sole his personal belongings, including a bag, money, and credit card information, making this now a robbery investation and a threat to his life where he lives, and others who have nothing to do with the situation. The entire staff, including Lulu Teddy bar, and the people involved is under investigation. for their reckless and dangerous behavior. The lack of professionalism and maturity is staggering. I want to make it clear your actions will not go unpunished. There was brutal violence you will face arrest and justice. If his life is lost, it will consider attempted murder.. There are witnessed and recorded the entire incident with hidden camera, providing concrete evidence. I will ensure that the truth comes to the light and those responsible are held accountable for their actions. It's illegal and unacceptable to have a minor in a bar, let alone a child. Children belong in a safe and nurturing environment, not in bars or around violence. Having a child in a bar puts them at risk of any harm. We will conduct an open investigation.
