Only sign I saw was that cans had to be opened at the bar. No sign on cooler or dual price tag on beer. No warning from bartender about additional fee before he opened the can. Won't be back. No wonder the place is so empty.

This bar is like one of those TV show bars. They pretend they're a dive, but it's a lot nicer than…read morea typical dive bar. Everything is always spotless, and their drinks are always made textbook perfect. The beer is cold, served in chilled glasses, and they always surprise me with their circulation of beers. Super friendly bar staff, and they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You just know when the employees are satisfied with their jobs because they don't walk around all grumpy. Here, they're chill and laid back, super fast at what they do, and they are attentive. Most of the time, I don't even have to ask for a second drink--they just know when I want another one. And they have this fancy air-fryer type machine in the back that makes the best quick bar snacks. Just order something, it's good!

The bartender is friendly and offers tastings, a unique feature compared to most other bars in Manhattan. I really like their selection of sour beers in particular. The vibe is like a sports bar, but you can find spots to have a decent conversation without a ton of rowdiness that comes with watching sports games. There are small bites for appetizers, including veggie nuggets, tater tots, and french fries. The dishes are well priced between $6-7 dollars and provide a nice snack to supplement the drinking.

The bar is separate from the restaurant so you don't need to worry about the dinner noise crowd. The bar does get crowded, so suggest getting there early to save a seat if you want to watch a game.

We were sat at a hightop right away, and our nice waiter brought us not only water, but some lovely salty popcorn as well We ordered two beers - they came nice and cold - and the fish and chips. The crispiness on the fish was delish, and the amount of fish was good too, enough for us to split. My only gripe was that there could've been more fries - but who doesn't always want more fries? Seems like a great place to catch a game with friends!

It's perfect for couples, families, friends…read morethat want to grab a pretty decent cocktail on a nice cute street while on a date or just to hang out. It's not going to blow your socks off like PDT or Angel's Share, and it's unlikely you'll hook up with a rando while at the Owl's Tail. As a matter of fact it is more likely that you'll be at the Owl's tail at 4pm on a Saturday and see someone from your kid's school. Service is great, vibes are awesome, it's a really solid place to go. Go, grab a cocktail, hang with friends, have a bite to eat. It's enjoyable and fun!
