    After walking around the East Village, we ended up at Augurs Well, a cozy little bar with a laid-back vibe. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night, even with a football game on TV and a few people at the bar. We stood by the bar top next to the window, picked two drinks, and enjoyed our conversation. The bar offers a nice mix of craft beers, creative cocktails, and classic drinks. The staff is friendly and attentive. It's a great spot for casual hangouts or just unwinding after a long day. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

    Came here for a date and reviews said they had good beer. The craft beer selection here is unreal. So many good kegs. Hudson valley, bissell brothers, hill farmstead, etc. Also tried the tater tots and they were legit. I will be back.

    Ambience

    Small and fantastic place for a couple of drinks and snacks. I had ordered their draft beer - magnify and it had a good sour taste to it (I like IPAs more) Friend had an old fashioned - well, you cannot go much wrong here The thing that clicks about this place is its ambience - good music and cozy little place to hangout. Best for small group parties and/or casual dates!

    Big fan of Augurs Well! If you love craft beer you have to come here. They always have a new and amazing selection of local beers anytime I go. The prices are not necessarily cheap but the quality and variety of beers make it worth it. I also love their frozen drinks! They have one of the best frozen margaritas in EV and also serve a yummy frozen mai tai. If you're drunk and hungry after drinking all those DIPAs or margs, they have pretty good food options...standard American bar fare but they do it well. I recommend the loaded nachos, mozz sticks, tots, and chicken parm hero but the burger and wings are solid tooZ It's fun to sit at the bar inside and watch a game on one of their TVs or you can sit outside when it's nice out and people watch on St Marks. Come and support this awesome bar!

    Nice bar with an open concept to the street. I had the old fashioned, and I was happy with the way it was made.

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.
