    Great local neighborhood bar with a great selection of draft beers, canned seltzers, and food options. My partner and I ended up splitting the pork belly chips (definitely get these if you like pork belly / chicharon), deviled eggs, and the smash burger - all were divine! Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the food options (I believe the owner used to be a chef) and was told by Garrett, the bartender working on Saturday, that the wings, Nashville chicken tenders, and the mozz sticks should be our next order. Speaking of Garrett - he rocks! Made us feel welcomed and already like a regular (even though it was our first time). Will definitely be back again!

    The food here is legitimately excellent. Not just "good for a sports bar," but truly standout. It's the kind of place I'd go specifically for a meal, not just drinks. It's a great place to catch a game or just have a bite and some drinks. I recommend the wings -- I actually think the wings at Bar 135 are some of the best in the city -- the burgers, and the chicken and waffle bites (see photo). The owner, Jude, is lovely. So is Smitty the bartender; in general, all the other bartenders I've encountered there are knowledgeable and friendly.

    mix of chicken sandwiches and a smash burger. beers and vodka crans :)

    came back again a few months after halloween and all i can say is this has definitely cemented itself as one of my absolute favorite spots. the food wasn't a one hit wonder, we all came back (and every one of us had the same thing because of how good it was last time). quite literally no other words for it other - amazing. my friends got the nashville chicken sandwich and another got the chopped cheese. speaking to the the smash burger that i got - because it's my favorite thing there - it's always cooked perfectly. comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles and pickled onion (absolutely godly). cheese is always melted just right and my god the fries are phenomenal. the burger is super filling but the fries are also always a great serving size and perfectly crisp and salted just right. no notes. we also ordered some chicken tenders and cajun tater tots this time around to share and they were also great. the tots werent spicy and had the perfect hit of flavor and were beautifully crisp. the tenders weren't the usual mess of breadcrumbs and dry chicken bars offer, theyre fresh and they're flavorful. If you take one thing away form this review - the food is always amazing. Now about the drinks. first of all, we were served by alex again and he's not only very nice and friendly but also makes phenomenal drinks. still one of the best vodka crans i've had (ratio wise - perfect balance) but a friend also got a dirty Shirley from them and it was also so good. we got some bar 135 lager pints as well during their happy hour and they were great. crisp, well flavored and overall a hit. everything about this place and its staff absolutely rocks. so happy to have this place so close by, already looking forward to visiting again soon.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

I mean, I've had bad pina coladas at dive bars, but I expected more from this place. I would say it was very strong, though, so you know what? That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else.

I didn't realize I was stumbling into a speakeasy. Password is enforced, but easily accessible! I found myself walking into a basement, and before me was a small sex shop equipped with toys, Playboy magazines, and tapes.... LOL after the host verified the password and welcomed me in, I was prompted to go into a curtain and walk through a bookcase. The space is so fun! I loved the decorations and the lights - it was giving a very fun, silly, 80s vibe. All the tables seemed to be reserved at the time, so I sat at the bar. Service was kind, friendly, and quick! I ordered a couple of drinks and the Happiest Meal, which is basically an adult Happy Meal. It comes with a small 80s toy, a cocktail of your choice, and food. I ordered the fish tacos along with the Eye of the Tiger cocktail. The bartender was really nice and explained how the space used to be a peep show in the 80s, which is why they leaned into the bit when opening the speakeasy. And there are brunch specials and karaoke sing-alongs on the weekends, and later in the night, a DJ comes in. What a surprise - I have to come back!

This spot was a cool place for gathering. It's a dark inside atmosphere, almost like a club, but not too loud either. Speakeasy's are the hip new thing for a bit now, and this 80's themed one didn't disappoint. They kept the jams going, and got the drinks out fast, & there was plenty of space to sit too.

I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and.
