The Guthrie Inn

If you're looking for a bar with a home like feeling then this is the place. The bartenders are great at making cocktails very friendly not too loud great music, and a great place to take a date.

The run club I’m in went after a run, and I absolutely loved this spot. Had no idea it existed before, it’s a very nice speakeasy. Decor is amazing, drinks were good (a bit pricey for the area, but not for the quality of the drinks and service for NYC), will definitely be going back!

Such a gem. Perfect date spot, quiet and cozy. Friendly bartender, and drinks were great.

Comfy vibe of worn-in elegance - loved a cocktail bar that isn’t try-hard. Drinks were fast and delish and the bartender was so friendly and helpful too. (Can bring in your own food.)

Had a wonderful time last night at The Guthrie Inn grabbing espresso martinis with a friend! The vibe is awesome and the bartenders are so friendly. Great spot to have a drink + catch some banter!

New owners that grew up on the block. They renovated the place but kept the warm character of the old Guthrie's. Great atmosphere, speakeasy, Cocktailbar but also pilsener and IPA on tap.

What makes a great bar is quality conversation and after that the drinks will pour themselves! Gutherie Inn relishes in being a family/neighborhood bar and accepting everyone who enters. I felt right at home within five minutes of entering the building. I wouldn't have spent my a seven hour layover any other way!

Fun little dive-cocktail spot. Very unique for the neighborhood. Sure it's not The Dead Rabbit, or Apotheke, or Attaboy, or Dutch Kills, Fresh Kills, or Little Branch, but what it lacks in stature, it makes up for its simplicity. The cocktails are simple and the ambience is very chill and the staff is very sweet. It's not fancy and pretentious, but it's a cool joint to hang loose. Make sure you get a bite next door @Earl's Beer and Cheese!

I have only ordered beverages here, and I can attest to the craftiness that was involved in the construction of their drinks. I had their old fashioned, as well as some of the craft beer on tap. It is slightly on the more expensive side--most specialty cocktail bars usually are--but their happy hour when I went includes two for one beers, which tend to err towards the craft brew side of the sud spectrum.

very cool speak easy without pretensions. The bartender is super friendly, and he mixes the best Moscow mule ever! you can seat at the window and stare at park av, or in the more intimate room at the back

Came here for a beer which wasn't a choice because they only have three - this is more of a cocktail bar. I ordered a Moscow mule and it was very well balanced. This place is super tiny, but I liked the chill vibe with the reggae music and antique chandeliers.

Cocktails are the main focus here, and they are done well. The space is small, dark, and intimate, which worked well with the overall feel. The bartender seemed pretty nice, and he was playing a nice selection of dub and reggae while we were there. I'd go back for sure.

This place is great for a private, intimate experience with a few people. There's a small, very secluded single-booth room in the very back that can seat about 8, and the front area has a few small tables. As long as you know it's not a bar to roam around in (it is very small), it's very enjoyable. The drinks are superb. They're a bit on the pricey side, but similarly priced to other comparable locations in NY that serve high-end drinks. The bartenders know what they're doing and make great drinks. I'd highly recommend their sazerac, New Orlean's oldest cocktail.

The Guthrie may be one of the few bars west of Lex in the area and luckily it's pretty damn good. I stopped in to grab a cocktail after grabbing food and a beer next door. There were a couple seats up front as well as in back so we had no issues there. I had the Donkey Juice which was strong and tasty. My friends had some tiki drink and some smoky drink which they devoured. At $11-$12 a cocktail the drinks are fairly reasonable and they had beers for only $4 and $5. The bartender was friendly and laid back and while we only stayed for one drink we thoroughly enjoyed our self. The combo of The Guthrie Inn and Earls makes for a great night.

Espresso Martini - 4/5 Presentation was very nice! Flavor was tasty and foam had a great consistency. I would gladly order this Espresso Martini again.

It’s a quintessential New York speakeasy in its look, something I adore. It is less quintessential when it comes to the drinks and the vibe. The vibe is an improvement. Super laid back and charming The drinks are not. Pretty generic, nothing a half decent cocktail enthusiast couldn’t whip up at home. So yeah, not great if your looking for that perfect cocktail perfect for low key hang where the drinks are fine.

We went there a group of 3 friends on November 26, 2024, the bartender was racist and very unprofessional, we tried to have some drinks we were all over 25 years old, he asked us to show our ID which we did immediately, we were all foreigners an show our national ID, adter he spend like 5 minutes with each ID he told us to leave the place without any explanation maybe he thought we didn't fit in the business or I don't even want to get into why. Very unprofessional, rude and irrational individual the one that was bartending. Will definitely not recommend if your a foreigner maybe for locals it works.

I came here yesterday ordered 2 drinks from the tall white bartender he gave it with the no issue even let me take it to go! Then after he had white residue on his nose and was drunk I asked for another drink from the other bartender and the tall white guy asked for my id and my card to match the name I gave that he then said $20 minimum which it wasn’t like that with my last 2 drinks. He then disrespected my mother and so on. Don’t recommend anyone to go here. It’s discrimination racism nd the list goes on!
