Happy hour was great! The spinach artichoke dip and the lamb sliders were especially great.

Excellent oysters during happy hours and very yummy cocktails. highly recommend the Pineapple Express and absolutely obsessed with the free popcorn that they provide

Fabulous bar with the most amazing staff. We arrived during happy hour and the drinks were really well priced. A complimentary bowl of savoury popcorn at every table demonstrates the thought and attention given to the whole experience. The mixologist at the door makes a fabulous first impression and is a great bloke.

Alexandra took care of us during happy hour and was a fantastic bartender. Drinks were excellent, house made popcorn was a nice touch - we loved it. Recommend this place!

My husband and I absolutely love this place.....we went last night....had the best drinks the best oysters the best music the best everything....highly recommended for all....

Lovely atmosphere, great hosts and absolutely great happy hour deals!

As a visitor from Minnesota, this was amazing! $1 oysters happy hour from 5-7pm and the Mexican mule was fantastic! The house popcorn was a treat also! Great service, romantic atmosphere.

Exceptional drinks, perfectly complemented by delectable truffle Parmesan popcorn, set the stage for a memorable evening. The staff were friendly and well-informed, enhancing the laid-back and inviting atmosphere where great music and ambiance filled the air. This spot comes highly recommended for both a romantic date night and a sultry evening out with friends.

The atmosphere is vibrant, with a DJ spinning tracks all night, creating an energetic vibe. The cocktails were exceptional, and the customer service far exceeded expectations—especially impressive given how busy it was. They also offer an excellent range of non-alcoholic drinks, making it a great spot for everyone.

I am not a party person and this is a party bar and I always have an excellent time. The vibes and the food are immaculate, the staff are professional and excellent at multi-tasking. Especially recommend the happy hour. There's a line out the door starting at around 6pm on Friday for a good reason.

Came in on a Sunday night for happy hour. Got two rounds of drinks and some popcorn. Love the vibe in here and the service was awesome! I’ve gotten oysters in the past which are delicious. Love this spot so much.

I had the best time with Lena as my bartender! The cocktails here are better then most Les bars

Guys. Come on, what is there not to like about this place? Happy Hour 1$ oysters and great drinks! Bartenders were certainly polite, definitely get there during the early hours. Love it here !

Hands down my favorite cocktail bar. Whoever is coming up with the drinks is a genius. So many times you go to cocktail bars and nothing is original or interesting or the prices are insane. At Bar Belly, every cocktail is incredible and the flavors are amazing. Their happy hour is great as well, with a few of their signature cocktails being offered for $8 instead of $15. Their cocktails change seasonally and as of this review they just rolled out the fall cocktails. My friends and I are very excited for the new menu. My favorite drink is the simple Rick (I think that's what it's called)... I don't know what anything is that's int he drink but it is one of the most flavourful and interesting things I've ever tasted. Wonder Woman is a close second: I would never have a thought a drink with soy milk in it would be any good. I recommend this place to everyone. Besides their genius cocktails they also have great live music, the ambience is charming and eclectic, the service is on point, and the food is delicious. But honestly, the drinks are so good, you could serve them to me in a paper cup in condemned fast food building and I would still give them 5 stars.

They are open! Love the music, the ambiance,the service, the hot toddy, the pineapple Express, the belly fries, the sensual popcorn, get over here! The bathrooms are beautiful 😁

I loved it. I stumbled across it while waiting to board at the pier and I love the low key vibes it gave upon entrance. The bartender was helpful in recommending what I was looking for. Will make my way back someday soon.

Came last Friday for a date night w my partner around 10pm. We loved the wine and they had some really good cocktails! Our server Winnie was so attentive and really contributed to our great experience! Definitely recommend stopping by for a drink! (Also the popcorn they have on the table was so good and never empty!!)

The two hostess need to learn that they are in hospitality cause they treat you as if they were going you a favor - we almost left cause of this. Other than that, drinks were amazing and our server Bella was the best.

Nice bar, good service and good variety for happy hour. Met the owner too, nice guy.

Loved Bar Belly! Loved their cocktails! Loved Rachael who was amazing! We had a lovely evening. Drinks were so unique, the vibe was cozy and cool, and Rachael was just perfect! We need more Rachaels in every bar. Thank you Bar Belly!

Exceptional cocktails on the menu! Everything is delicious, trust me. Super friendly staff, shout out Kiwi for the hospitality. Alexandra made me THE best Mezcal Bloody Mary I have ever had.

I really enjoyed my visit to Bar Belly. We were looking for a oyster happy hour with good cocktails. Arrived at Bar Belly 15 minutes before happy hour was over. We were seated, had drinks -- get the Pineapple Express, and placed our order before happy hour was over. The brussel sprouts were delicious, I need to visit again for another swing at the macaroni and cheese, and the spicy shrimp was (insert fire emoji).

They serve $1 East Coast oysters for happy hour everyday!!! Drinks were good. Fries were seasoned well. Interesting vibes too.

This was one of the best customer experiences EVER! We were only 2 and were allowed to use a table for 6. Even when they were busy they made it work. We then started talking to the owner Tommy who is hysterical and incredibly interested in people. Ended up having shots on the way out with him and a brilliant conversation! Will be back as soon as possible!!!

BEST!!!! BAR!!!! IN THE CITY!!!! Been coming here regularly for 3-4 years. To start, the service is purely unmatched. The team will make you feel right at home - the biggest standout of all is the service. The menu though??? Something for everyone, from the most chill beer drinker to the fanciest of cocktail lovers. And of course the vibe??? Amazing variety - some nights dance party, some nights live jazz, some nights ultra chill. Open late but also a great time when you come early. Did I say best bar in NYC?? Good, cause I meant it and it’ll never change!!! BAR BELLY FOREVER

Espresso martini, pizza, croquettes were all amazing! And the place has a cool vibe. Only cons - Caesar salad was sub par and they don’t have dessert. Would definitely recommend and plan to come back for more pizza and cocktails.

Highly recommend this bar. Cocktails were all really good and customer service was so much better than expected from a packed cocktails bar. The atmosphere is also great with a DJ playing all night. Highly recommend the Simple Jack. They also have a great selection of non alcoholic options

Amazing amazing oyster bar! Went here with a friend and got 20 oysters, tater tots, and many glasses of wine. The oysters are decent, briney but kinda small. Great deal for $1 of course. The best part were the sauces - totally topped off the oysters. The tater tots were so crispy and well seasoned with a super delicious sauce on the side. The cherry on top was the service. All of the servers and bar staff were so beyond kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!

10/10 !!! drinks were fantastic, Top notch customer service, Bartenders were awesome. Great vibes and sexy crowd. We had the best time!

Went on a Friday night the place was buzzing- great music, cocktails, beer, and a happy hour until 7pm. The bar tenders were excellent cocktail makers, too. Highly recommend as a date night spot!

Great place to grab drinks on a Friday night! Interesting cocktail menu and nice ambiance. Good for small or large groups.

Great happy hour experience. $1 oysters and a decent variety of drink options. Good vibe and a lot of tables - only walk-ins apparently.

Loved this swanky little bar in the Lower East Side. The ambiance is so romantic and cool. I loved the happy hour menu and tried several items they were all wonderful especially the mule. The oysters were presented in the cutest way ever and there house popcorn is tasty. We really enjoyed our experience here and would go back.

Very good oysters served at happy hour. This place has a bit of an eclectic vibe - intimate dim lighting, whimsical bar area with lots of metallic elements, and free popcorn. We started the evening at Bar Belly around 5pm on a Friday. Not too crowded but quickly became busy. Will definitely return.

The drinks are divine! You can’t go wrong. Try the frozen drinks and the. Work your way through the menu.

Had a pandan frozen cocktail and oysters for happy hour. Chefs accidentally forgot one oyster so they gave us two in a little plate lol. Service was great, everyone was friendly and nice, orderly and quick, prices very good for area, and free table popcorn. Genesis was a great server thank you! Will be coming back.

The drinks, oysters, & popcorn were all amazing. Definitely one of the best bars in all nyc <3

Nice outdoor setup on the street. They don’t have too many tables, so be prepared to take your drink to go if there is no seating available. Quieter block on Orchard, which makes for a more relaxing atmosphere. People catching up rather than getting hammered. We tried the highball and asked for mezcal instead of tequila - tasted great.

One of the best places to sit, chat and drink! The service and management are incredible. Shoutout Rachel for being an amazing server!

A fantastic bar hidden in the depths of LES. It has an ambiance that urges you and your date to open up to each other with perfect blend of candle light and soothing music in the background. Cocktails were very good and a good place to try some new ones!

Oysters happy hour 🍻 🦪 Recommended!

I’d love to gatekeep this bar for myself, but it absolutely deserves a raving review. Bar Belly is my favorite bar in all of New York City. And yes, having a single favorite bar here is tough - that’s how good it is. That wonderful spritz, paired with oysters on a breezy Friday afternoon… perfection.

One of my favorite bar in LES. The neighborhood itself has a lot of positive energy, full of youth, inspirations! And, I could say, it was my best of best cocktails I’ve ever had. The bartender seemed to show amazingly professional, I have no idea on bartending, but, overall the vibe was fantastic. Bunch of people looked so in trend hahahaha Good place to swing by for next round, of course for a date or with friend’s and families. Highly recommend! Especially with this reasonable price! $_$

Awesome little cocktail bar. Very cute ambiance, super talented bartenders (drinks are always delicious and often surprising!). Chill place to grab tasty apps and drinks for nice night out. Bringing my partner back here for sure!! Cocktails prices but not crazy cocktail prices like some of those other places :)

Well crafted drinks, with a side of truffle Parmesan popcorn that’s delicious! Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The space was easy going and approachable and had great music and ambience. I’d recommend for romantic date night and or sultry night with the ladies!

Stopped in for cocktails and oysters with friends. This may be my new go to spot for that. Oysters were great as were the cocktails. They even had a happy hour until 7. Great vibe inside. On Saturday evening they had live music. Stop in if you're in the neighborhood.

One of my favorite Covid bars. It’s small, reality quiet and serves tasty drinks. We ordered the Watermelon High Ball, La Lupe, Fries, and a few Oysters. The cocktails are always amazing. We tried the Oysters for the first time and we’re absolutely impressed. Fries are nothing special, just solid fries with ketchup. No need to over complicate an tasty snack.

Been here a few times so far! Always an exciting experience! Sat in the back for dinner the first time and the waitress was very friendly and attentive! We had the pork sliders and octopus with potatoes! Second time sat in the front tables for happy hour. The oysters and old fashions are discounted and very delish! My recent trip was at the bar where they always give you free truffle popcorn!! Drinks are crafted perfectly here and service is always on point! Would definitely recommend! And I myself will be returning often :) keep up the excellent work!

Amelia Visnauskas

Excellent happy hour with well made drinks and $1 oysters. Loved the free popcorn, too. A cozy and relaxed space to visit with friends and lovers.

Aliya Pitt

Came here for happy hour and would DEFINITELY return!! The service was really awesome, very attentive, interactive and funny! The $1 oysters are a good deal and although you can find that in a lot of different spots, this was my best oyster experience as the sauce was really good! Also, I wasn't going to get a drink but when I tried by sisters I had to! The drinks are phenomenal! And it is a super cute and cozy environment with good lighting!

Abigail

First and foremost: We came at happy hour on the recommendation of a girl working at the dispensary nearby. AMAZING rec!!!! Such a cute spot! Lit candles on each table, small and intimate, vibey music without being too loud..... exactly what we needed! And the happy hour was awesome! We each got a drink (please try the Casanova! SO good! Especially for those that like a sweet drink!) And we shared the Belly Tots! Awesome service, great food and drinks, fabulous vibes! Definitely a must stop in the area!!!

Mikayla N.

Amazing $1 happy hour oysters served with complimentary truffle popcorn. The drinks are phenomenal as well. I got the Casanova and it’s my fave!

Elsa Olivier

Bar Belly is a cocktail lover’s paradise! Hugo is an absolute artist behind the bar — every drink he makes is crafted with skill and style. The Pineapple Express was my personal favorite — bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. And the Pink Pony frozen cocktail? To die for! Sweet, fun, and dangerously delicious. The vibe is cozy yet lively, making it the perfect spot for a night out. Between the incredible drinks, the welcoming atmosphere, and Hugo’s top-notch service, Bar Belly has officially become one of my go-to NYC bars.

Stegramedia

Totally obsessed with this place!! The staff is sooo amazing (shout out Rachel!!) the oyster special on their happy hour cannot be beat. I usually am not super into oysters but the ones here are so fresh and the 2 sauce options they give you are delicious. Can’t beat a good $1 oyster am I right? The jackalope spritz is also soo good. Will definitely come back!

Tomas Sable

Fantastic Place ! Great vibe - Good music ! Killer oyster happy hour ! Great non alcoholic options. Just want to mention server Grace - even though she was not my server (I sat at the bar ), she greeted me with big smile saying “welcome”; I sat at the bar (since my party was late and did not wanted to take a table) , she checked on me few times in a very unobtrusive way, just showing care , it made me feel like someone cares without intruding my space - that’s what I call an abundant hospitality ! BTW - MUSHROOM CROQUETAS 🔥🔥🔥

Yuriy Ponomarev

We really enjoyed our time here! The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the place has the vibe of a cozy neighborhood bar. The tuna tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had. They didn’t have non-alcoholic beer, but the mocktails were absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend!

Boris

Amazing vibe for happy hour on a Tuesday evening, with band performing and everyone enjoying their time at the tables. Got a dozen oysters for only $12, and absolutely loved how refreshing all the drinks we ordered were!

tamara balazsovits

Bar Belly is a happy hour dream! My friend and I stopped by and were so impressed with the amazing deals. I enjoyed a couple of beers, a glass of Prosecco, and we indulged in a generous helping of oysters — all at an incredible price. The oysters were fresh and delicious, making it an unbeatable value for seafood lovers. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with a vibrant crowd that adds to the charm of the place. Even though it was busy, the staff kept everything running smoothly, and we felt well taken care of. If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, fantastic happy hour deals, and tasty bites, Bar Belly is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

carlos borges

Great spot for drinks and live music. The music changes daily. They feature an oyster happy hour and usually serve up Barcats. Plymouth is the gin that's featured here. 8 YEARS LATER: Still a gem of a NYC bar/restaurant. My kids have grown up with bar belly. The oyster happy hour is still going strong, and the crew that works here are absolutely great people.

Loved the ambiance, music, and friendly bartenders! Super extensive cocktail menu, great for a date or a night out with friends! Complimentary truffle popcorn was a plus too! 4.5/5 Punch Card 4.5/5 Pineapple Express Second visit during Happy Hour and we greatly enjoyed it! 5/5 $1 Oysters -- some of the best HH oysters I've had in the city.

Imagine an intimate bar; dimly lit, ample seating, and an eclectic food menu that has everything you could want while sharing food with friends or a date. Well, that’s what bar belly is like and I’m so happy I ended up checking this spot out recently. My friend and I decided to grab drinks here on a weekday. We didn’t have a reservation and most definitely did not need one. Once we arrived we opted to sit at the bar. We had come during happy hour and were excited to have the opportunity to try some dishes and drinks out. Noted with beer but also tried the Casanova cocktail which tasted more like a vodka based summer drink. When it came time to food we dined on their tater tots and prosciutto pizza. All great for sharing! I’d totally recommend this for a more intimate occasion if you do end up visiting.

Tony Del Pino

I'm fearful that this place is not a hidden gem anymore, but that's just me being selfish. Bar Belly is like the best local bar you wish existed in every neighborhood. The staff are super laid back but experts at their craft. Kiwi is the man and was super hospitable with us. Best Queens Park Swizzle I've had in a very long time. Between the drinks, food, and vibe Bar Belly has hit a home run.

Love this place but make sure your check is right ! We ordered during HH (just before the end) and were charged full price.

3.5/5. pretty good oysters, addicting popcorn, tasty/balanced tuna ceviche(I needed more bread tho), a friggin awesome bite of croquettes... Some if a bit pricy for the portion but it's fun to treat yourself. Saturday nights they'll herd you in at the bar and we had an issue with the host seating someone before us but they made up for it with a free drink. Can't say it'll happen Everytime but I appreciate them trying to make up for it Long story short, happy hour would be a steal and getting seated indoors on a busy night would be more unpleasant than being seated outside where it's a lil cold but m quiet enough

Open and feels like pre-COVID. They are adhering to the covid protocols. I like the drinks off happy hour more but the happy hour oysters are the real pull here. I would recommend going if you're an oyster fan. The fries are okay and the service is difficult if you're in the back. I actually had to get up and walk up to a server to order twice, once for me and once when a friend joined a bit late, which was rather annoying because they were taking orders from people around us but not our table. It felt like we were forgotten multiple times.

Great place for happy hour oysters, otherwise definitely on the pricier side, and very loud inside - difficult to hear people seated together

Enjoyed the La Lupe, had a nice lil heat kick to it. Was a little disappointed with Dead Witch, their take on espresso martini…it tasted a little bit watered down. Sat outside, but the atmosphere inside seemed really nice

Great drinks and popcorn. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because we had to ask our server a few times for more popcorn or to turn the heat lamp on. We ended up never getting more popcorn even though we asked twice. Also, the punch bowl on the menu says it is meant for 4-6 people but it somehow ended up costing more than buying 6 of that drink - the price isn’t even on the menu. We incorrectly assumed we’d be paying the price of the drink for 6 people or less. It ended up being $100, a price that should definitely be added to the menu. When we asked our server about it, she said it’s meant for 6-8 people and that’s why they’ve priced it as such, although that’s not what the menu says. Adding the pics of the menu and of the drinks.

Had my first gin martini that I actually liked! Very busy but lovely, service is good. Diverse menu.

Fun place. Cocktails could use some work but the energy and vibes were great. Drinks are stronggggg which I know some people like, just not for me

Small lively place with good decor and ambience. Courteous staff. Very limited vegetarian options. Guacamole with corn tostadas is a must try for vegetarians

Went there on a Monday during hh and overall a pleasant time but thought the service could be better - they have a cap of 12 oysters pp so my friend and I only gotten 18, but somehow they heard 15. Waited quite a while for raw food, and waited again for the next 3 to come. Also it was such a hard time getting their attention, no water refills and had to call for them. Only gave us one fork and spoon to share for our oyster platter, so had to get their attention again. Dollar oysters were fresh but definitely there are better spots in nyc for them

The place has a really good vibe and great music. Visited it with my friends and we all loved it. I found the cocktails to be mid tho.

a group of 5 of us went for after dinner cocktails last night. cocktails were pretty solid and prices are what you'd expect for an les place. i've always wanted to try and get there for their oyster happy hour so next time i'll try and swing by. music was good too and I could see that they were setting up for a DJ. all in all a solid spot

I really enjoyed my time there for Happy Hour. Considering the circumstances, COVID and Happy Hour, I still had pretty good service. The oysters were awesome and the Moscow Mules were delicious. All things considered, I had a great time with a friend at Bar Belly! The popcorn was a fun addition instead of chips.

Great bar in LES. Beautiful ambiance, low key and dim lit. They have live jazz typically I believe she said wed-Saturday. They have a few items on HH, their version of espresso martini was delicious, and we also got the oysters which were $1 each and were good!

A friend and I stopped by for happy hour after work. The food was honestly just okay — not terrible, but definitely not memorable. You can find better bites elsewhere, so I wouldn’t come here specifically for a meal. That said, the drinks were fantastic! This feels much more like a “let’s grab a drink” spot rather than a sit-down dinner destination. The staff was friendly, and I loved the free popcorn they give out — such a fun touch. Their happy hour is solid, with $1 oysters and a pretty good menu overall. What really stood out to me, though, was the atmosphere. The vibe makes it a perfect place to grab a couple of drinks before heading out for the night.

Alice Rodrigo

Was given a warm welcome. The high tables with stools were wobbly but that's okay. Our waitress was attentive. The food was DELICIOUS! The drinks were yummy. However, there was a lady who approached me and asked me to surrender my water bottle that wasn't opened. I don't know her name, but I can say she looks like a distressed Margot Kidder. She told me when I left. I can ask for my water bottle back and I told her I may forget. But she was persistent and insisted on the water bottle until my fiancé took the water bottle, opened it and poured it into his cup of water. I don't know what the problem was, but she totally ruined my entire experience at this restaurant and that's what prompted me to close out my visit. If a customer is sitting at a table with a closed bottled water, they shouldn't have to be pestered to surrender it.

Good spot for happy hour in lower east side. Oysters were 1$ and the provide house popcorn which was seasoned great. Cocktails were pretty good and the atmosphere was lively. Ideal spot to come after work and chat

Travelz by Roxane

Came for happy hour. They offer $1 oysters and $10 wines with complimentary truffle popcorn. Also had the tater tots Also good. The ambiance is casual, cozy and romantic. Service is attentive and fast. Price is affordable. Good for a date or hanging out with friends.

It's a good place if you look fancy and you look like you have a lot of money to spend. We were there and it felt like we were being neglected because I ordered a simple beer and my girlfriend a cocktail. The only time they checked up on us was when my girlfriend had finished her cocktail and it felt like they expected her to order an other one. Disregarding me or my 'simple' beer. Besides the service the atmosphere was good, nice and friendly. I didn't get a feeling that we weren't welcome at anytime we were there. The place looks very nice and modern but still has that old school rustig vibe to it. It's a nice place to check out and see if it's something for you, otherwise one drink will be enough and there are plenty of other places around.

A little cocktail bar on the LES that is a darling of NYC Tiktok at the moment. Crowd is mostly young or neighborhood types. We had high expectations with such good reviews, but we found the experience just ok. We loved our drinks and HH is on point. Food was just ok imo, but points for having all the NYC appetizer favorites in one place (oysters, shishito peppers, meat and cheese plate, deviled eggs, etc). Things fell apart for us because we sat outside. Tbh it is not a nice atmosphere (no shade, uncomfy sidewalk seating) and service to outside tables was friendly but very spotty. People were getting up to chase down servers. Staff was doing their best but seemed overwhelmed for sure. Overall I didn’t really get the hype but it is a cute spot where you can probably find something to please everyone. I would give them another chance sitting inside.

Bathroom is not wheelchair accessible although that’s what they say on google. I texted them to ask and they never responded so I assumed it will be accessible since that’s what they claim. But no …

Cute small joint, with a interesting drinks and food. I only stopped to see the place and have a cocktail. They have their own variation of aperol spritz, which is decent. A Frozen cocktail that is delicious. The service isn’t the greatest, I was seating by the bar and it took forever to get my oysters, and despite the fact I was right in front of the bartender he seems to be a little ambushed by the plenty of cocktails request will pop up. Main reason why I left right after my oysters which took forever to get to me. I wasn’t sold by my first time here. I’ve heard about this place plenty of times, but didn’t quite have the “experience” other might’ve had. Not sure if it’s cause the time of the day I went, which was right after they opened.

Came in on a Sunday for happy hour. The atmosphere was nice. The parmesan popcorn we had was stale. The service replaced it with fresh popcorn. I was disappointed with the happy hour. It was $13 a cocktail (regularly $18). The glass was very small. It did not feel worth my money.

I really like the vibe and ambiance in here. The candles on the table feels cozy. The place was packed. Our waitress was warm and friendly. Ordered some drinks and food. Drinks are a bit pricey for the amount you get but they were good. Food was good too. Only problem was service was super slow. Took a really long time for our drinks and food to come and we had to ask a couple of times where’s our order.

Priyanka

Beautiful bar with pretty lights. Staff were polite and warm. Lamb sliders tasted so fine , perfectly seasoned and they were melting in mouth 10/10. Cavatelli pasta was fresh and flavourful 10/10. Truffle popcorn was tasty. Thankyou for delicious food ❤️🌹. Definitely coming back 💯 . BarBelly, a disappointing Second Visit I had such a great experience at BarBelly the first time, I was eager to bring my friends and family back. The cocktails were great, the guac and chips were spot on, and the overall vibe was fantastic. I remembered the food being excellent, especially the pasta, which was a big hit with my vegetarian friends during our last visit. Unfortunately, this time the experience fell short. When we arrived, we were seated but didn’t receive any attention for a long while. When it came time to order, I was hoping to ask if they had any vegetarian options or could accommodate the same pasta we had last time. However, when I asked the waitress, she seemed resistant and insisted that they "never do that," which was very different from the more accommodating experience we'd had before. It was disappointing because I had specifically brought my friends to BarBelly for the same great food we had last time. While the cocktails and snacks (guac and chips) were still good, the lack of service and the inability to cater to our dietary needs made this visit a letdown. I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back again or recommending it to friends after this experience.

My friends hyped this place up to me so I went with high hopes. The sound of a cocktail lounge with small bites is really good but they were playing the most random songs that did not add to the ambiance at all. If i am going to eat and drink on a crammed table the ambiance can make up for it but it was not the case. The only food item worth the money is probably the Short Rib Sliders. Pass on the croquettes and pigs in a blanket, they only come with a couple of them and leave you wanting more. Lastly the cocktails. They sounds really interesting and tasteful but when you drink it, its very lacklustre. The sweet ones are too sweet and the savoury ones are not savoury enough. I really was disappointed unfortunately. The waiters tried their best to recommend drinks i would like but the menu did not allow me to be satisfied at all.

Unfortunately had terrible stomach pains after eating the oysters here. Hasn’t ever happened to me before. I loved the drinks and the happy hour pricing but sadly won’t be back due to the food poisoning :(

We had one of the most disturbing experiences we’ve ever encountered at a bar. The staff at this establishment were not just rude but physically aggressive and violent, which is completely unacceptable. We were kicked out after paying for our drinks, with no explanation or attempt to make things right. No customer should ever feel unsafe or be treated this way, especially in a place of business that profits from them. The behavior of the staff raises serious questions about management and their oversight. It’s appalling that such conduct is tolerated, and we believe it should be reported to the proper authorities. If you value your safety and want to avoid being disrespected or mistreated, we strongly recommend staying away from this place. Bars are meant to be spaces for enjoyment and relaxation, not places where paying customers are assaulted or unfairly treated. We urge management to review security footage, hold the staff responsible accountable, and take immediate action to ensure this never happens again.
