A great corner spot!! I love watching the city go by, with the sounds of a cool bar around me! Everyone was super friendly coming up in and they were playing all the games we wanted! Barbie was soooo sweet and friendly and helpful! Super accommodating even though we had a show to catch soon :))))
Great place to eat before a movie at Regal. Plenty of TVs for the game, attentive staff, and quick service. The burgers were excellent, and the drinks were tasty and well-portioned. The menu should detail the ingredients in the drinks. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We’ll return for more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bartenders at 30 Love are top notch! Always super friendly, fast, and they really know how to make you feel welcome. The drinks are amazing creative tennis cocktails, perfectly mixed classics, and everything always comes out consistent. You can tell they put care into both the service and the vibe. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city for a great night out. Highly recommend!
Barbie is the most amazing bartender! The money I saw her pink hair and smile I knew I’d be well taken care of. Come here you’ll have a wonderful time
One of my favorite bars in the East Village! Amazing cocktail list, elevated and delicious food menu. The steak bites are incredible. It's a great place for sporting events, trivia nights, or just a hang with friends. The bartenders are fast and attentive, great banter, makes you feel like you're at your hometown bar. The music selection sets the perfect vibe. A must try for locals and visitors!
One of my favorite spots to meet up with friends. Love that all the windows/walls open up when it’s nice out to make it feel like you are outside. The martini was one of the best I’ve ever had and the bartenders were great. Just a fun vibey spot!
I moved from Argentina to New York 4 years ago, and in that time, I’ve explored countless restaurants, cafés, and bars all over the city. But this spot stands out above the rest — it has truly become my favorite place in all of New York. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. The host, Rut, and the owner, Gabe, are two of the kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They make you feel like family, remembering your face, your order, and always greeting you with warmth. That alone makes the experience special, but what really takes it to the next level is everything else this place has to offer. The drinks are top tier. Their espresso martini isn’t just good — it’s unforgettable. I find myself literally dreaming about it sometimes. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, it’s the kind of cocktail that sets the bar for every other espresso martini in the city. And then there’s the food. Every single dish I’ve tried has been incredible. The Greek salad is so fresh and vibrant that it feels like you’ve been transported straight to Greece. The popcorn shrimp? It melts in your mouth with every bite. Honestly, I could write an entire review just on the menu alone because everything is that good. On top of that, the atmosphere is unbeatable. They’ve created a space that feels both lively and comfortable, perfect whether you’re coming for a casual happy hour, a fun night with friends, or even a solo visit. They host amazing weekly activities, the happy hour deals are fantastic, and the prices overall are refreshingly fair for New York City. This isn’t just a place to grab food or a drink — it’s an experience. The combination of community, quality, and good vibes makes it a spot I can’t recommend enough. Whether you live here or you’re just visiting, you have to check it out. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you fell in love with New York in the first place.
Barbie is the BEST bartender in the building! Oh the wings are so good! The nachos too! Friendly staff & Thursday Night Trivia is so much fun
Great bar and great service. Barbie is the BEST bartender she’s so kind and helpful. 10/10 will come back especially for Barbie!! ❤️
This bar is so cute! Great music, and love the atmosphere. Brian, Ruth, Kitty, and Danny provided exceptional service, and the drinks were great! Loved the happy hour!
Thirty Love in NYC is a hidden gem! The drinks were absolutely delicious — I especially loved their clever twist on a margarita, the “Margarita That Studied Abroad.” The food was just as impressive; the steak sandwich was a knockout and definitely a must-try. What made it even better was the atmosphere — it’s such a great spot to relax and watch sports while enjoying top-notch bites and cocktails. Can’t wait to come back!
Great atmosphere! People are so wonderful! Barbie helped us out and she was so sweet!

A bit more upscale than a typical bar with only a few selections of draft beer, the wings came with 7 pieces and were small, but the burger was good, as was their frozen Aperol spritz. Nice atmosphere & interior, DJ was loud though so you definitely have to yell over the music to have a conversation. More of a party-ish vibe they’re going for I think.
The only tennis themed bar in the city!! They play all game regardless of the time. Very spacious- it has two floors (upstairs is the best!) Unfortunately, service and food wasn’t great. I got the burger island it was meh and I also got a beer and it was lukewarm.

While good for decor and location, I would advise not to eat here. I came for trivia night with some friends and ordered from a waiter who seemed to be on some substance other than alcohol. The food order came out wrong and definitely was not tasty. Another waiter had taken over, and even after 2 conversations about the bill, I was still charged the wrong amount. If you do go, double check the bill as even the itemization of the bill is not clear.
30 love absolutely BLEW my mind. It was truly amazing how HORRIBLE of a martini they could make. The waitress will lie to you about the happy hour pricing and if ur lucky may break a glass on you. Thank you 30 love for an evening I’ll never forget❤️
A fully tennis themed bar that… doesn’t show tennis? Pretty bold if you ask me! I asked the bar tender to switch on the Tennis Channel so I could watch some of the Cincinnati Open while I grabbed a drink at the bar and they told me no. In August when nearly every other sport is on hold and there were actively televised tennis matches happening? Make it make sense.

Bartender charged me $100 for 2 drinks. Stay Away! To address the response from this establishment, the Latino bartender from “Venezuela” he said he was from, overcharged me for drinks; he charged me for three drinks when I only ordered two. Shady business. I just read reviews and it’s been done before, I’m not the only patron.
really poorly run establishment. not only is the food quality pretty poor and the service really slow, but on top of that, management / the hostess has been incredibly rude and disorganized with reservations on more than one occasion. it’s a shame because it’s a great space but i don’t think i’ll be going back
I went to this bar with my friends for a Taylor Swift trivia night, and honestly the experience was pretty disappointing. We were a diverse group (2 Ukrainians, 2 Latinos, and a French friend), just hanging out and having fun. At one point, the host came over to our table and accused us of cheating just because someone had pulled up YouTube to figure out how to spell a song title in English. What really bothered me was that we were literally the only table made up of immigrants (the only table with a Black man and Latinos), and out of all the teams using their phones, we were the ones singled out. It felt unfair and honestly a bit discriminatory. I don’t understand why she assumed we were the problem, when everyone else was clearly on their phones too. Pretty ridiculous experience overall not a welcoming environment at all. We
Went to this bar for a Taylor Swift trivia night and the experience was awful. We were the only immigrant group, and even though everyone was on their phones, we were the only ones accused of cheating. It felt unfair and discriminatory. Not a welcoming place at all.
We came in for the US Open final a little while back with a fully confirmed reservation, but the 30 Love staff said we didn't have one made. We had made this reservation months in advance, and they had not honored it. This happened again before with the French Open. Would not recommend
I arrived 10 minutes after my group of 8 and they refused to let me in claiming there was “no room”. The bar was not packed, we all had to leave. What a terrible experience. I took a picture from outside to show you how they definitely could’ve accommodated one more person.

30 love has a lot of issues to solve if they want to survive in this area. Service was little to none as our party had a reservation confirmation but was “lost”. Imagine you and a large group coordinating to check out this new place just to be told there was no tables even though you had confirmation. The menu states a happy hour exists but no indication of what’s on it anywhere except outside of the restaurant on a chalkboard. The cocktail menu literally does not state what alcohol is in each drink. Are we supposed to just know what is in a “grand slam smash”? Are these actually all just mocktails at cocktail prices? So far this bar is the 0 in 30-0.
