    Sebastian Burger
    Christine M.

    Brindle Room has long been one of my favorite burger spots in the city. It had been years since my last visit, and I'm happy to report the burger is still excellent, perfectly seasoned, with sautéed onions that make it truly stand out. It's a small space with laid back vibes. Highly recommend if you're craving a great burger downtown.

    Not enough good things can be said about this east village institution. Brindle Room's menu is kept simple because when you do a burger so right, why do anything else. I'm salivating once again just thinking of it. This cozy laid back joint is perfect for a bite and cocktail. A great place to relax.

    I was dragged here and told that it was the "best burger in town". Spoiler alert, it's not really the best burger in town. The server was super sweet, but she was the only person serving the entire restaurant. I felt bad for her because it got really busy and she was handling the bar and all the food by herself. It is small inside, but there were easily 20-30 people. This place has a serving window between the kitchen and the dining area. I would definitely suggest that they change the way they operate and just have a bartender operate the bar and people can go up and get their own orders. Unnecessary to make that girl do all that work alone. Could have been a one off - but we were a party of 5, made a reservation and still waited 1.5 hours for a table because the booth seating was all taken by 2 person groups. I felt bad because we took up space in the bar area waiting for our table. Overall, pretty silly experience.

    Had a wonderful date night at this cozy casual restaurant in the East village. Service and staff were kind and friendly. They have a full bar and made a delicious gin martini. Food menu is very small and the restaurant is known for its burger. See what we ordered below - Chopped salad: very small portion, but simple and refreshing. Don't necessarily think we would order again since it's a really small portion and nothing too special - Burger: Brindle Room is famous for its burger and it did not disappoint. Buttery, melt in your mouth patty cooked to perfection (medium rare) with melted cheese and grilled onions on a soft pillowy potato bun. Served with crispy thick cut fries and pickles. Think this is one of the best burgers we have had in the city. I'd been to this restaurant many years ago at its initial location. The new location on 11th and C is definitely a step up. Much better interior, creating a nice ambiance and providing for much more space. Shervin (think he was the manager) was great and very friendly. Made sure we had an amazing evening.

    Delicious sides and drinks. The Brussels sprouts were so good, even without the tahini sauce it came with. Bacon wrapped dates were the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and even better than ones I have previously had at Boqueria and Socarrat. However, I was underwhelmed by the burger, the main drawback being that it needed more seasoning. Onions and bacon were good, but burger may be better with some kind of sauce and cheddar instead of American. One waitress when we were there, with four tables or so occupied. Also not really feeling the paper folding menus. Would come back to try the steak and other apps.

    Today we went to Brindle Room for the second time in 8 days. I cannot recommend it enough. The first time we went we sat at the bar on a Saturday and enjoyed DELICIOUS and VERY REASONABLY priced cocktails. The "Go" is served ICE COLD and is so good if you like espresso martinis. Today we went for brunch and it was empty? Are you kidding me? If you don't want to wait in line for a BEC or a burger you should try this spot instead. All the sauces here are really good their hot sauce, the sauce on the BEC, and their garlic aioli. TLDR: If you want a good burger, great cocktails, and a cozy vibe please try this spot.

    The Brindle Room is an incredible neighborhood restaurant in alphabet city! With cozy and intimate vibes, superb service, and delicious food this place does everything right. Some of the highlights included the steak frites and the burger! With very reasonable prices and extremely friendly staff, it's easy to come to this place routinely!

    French Dip with French Fries
    Darren G.

    What a great find. Friends took me here for brunch. The space is friendly and rustic. Not fancy but comfortable like sinking into a sofa. Our server was Jake who professional and personable. We started with the pickle chips and Brussels sprouts both were fantastic. I wish I had pictures but we ate them so quickly I forgot. The menu is a little small but I will always defer to a smaller menu executed well over a massive mediocre menu. I had the French dip and it was massive and delicious. I normally skip the au jus as I find them a little bland. This one was delicious and robust. Definitely worth the journey from midtown. I will be back.

    Spaghetti Pomodoro
    Camille M.

    I went to Brindle Room a couple years ago before this new location and loved it. We went to visit this place on a Saturday night and were able to call in with a reservation just in case as well. I personally loved the spaghetti pomodoro and the espresso martini, but we also got their steakhouse burger which their known for and I just don't think it lived up to the expectations from when I last had it. Our waiter was nice and we loved how much more bigger it is than the old one. It's unfortunate that I probably won't be coming back for the burger and will be getting the pasta or something else from the menu if I'm ever in the area again.

    Hands down some of the best food I've had in a while!! The steak was so juicy and flavorful I could've eaten like five of them!! Truly the food did not disappoint at all so kudos to the chef It's such a cute place I highly recommend coming to grab a bite and some drinks to catch up with friends The chef came out and checked on us, and it really made us feel important

(I'm assuming the grub came from the trattoria above us.) Lots of flavor, a few entrée options to pick from (made ahead of time) to appease any preferences or dietary restrictions. My only issue was whoever was working the salad station was entirely too heavy-handed with the sliced radishes. Ease up on those next time, partner. The show: exactly what you probably expect/fear/need/want - equal parts goofy and interesting, ridiculous and intriguing. It's well thought out, constructed and paced. (We were 'warned' from the start - how much 'we' put into it is what we'd be getting back out and that's legit... some people were completely "in it" and you could tell they loved every second of the adventure, whereas my in-laws started to fade after about 90 minutes.) I should fess up I was positive my "thinking outside of the box" was going to snag me the win but I completely flubbed and it's safe to assume my final guess was the WORST one of the night. (Some advice: pay attention to ALL the clues. Don't try to be too damn clever or it'll bite you in the rump!) The three hours went by smoothly... lots of laughs, lots of interacting with the other diners (suspects!) as well as the actors and before you knew it - crimes were being solved, tabs were being closed and it was time to head back into the cruel streets of the city that never sleeps. Biggest issue (aside from the radishes!) - parking, of course. (A few blocks away was the only option and that added another $50+ to an already expensive night.) We were a party of seven (which is how many were seated per table) and I think we would've had an even better time had we been split up or went as a smaller group (so we could mix-and-match with other people, including the performers). Most definitely worth checking out if you're out for some fun that can appease (older) teens to their grandparents.

The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away.

We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking.

The setup was exciting - having my own private booth made me feel like i was experiencing something luxurious.

It's hard to stay excited about a premium experience when you're basically forced into a "leftovers" draft pick of things you wouldn't normally order. ​Guava Fresca: Actually pretty good! It's zero-proof and gave off a solid spritzer vibe. If only the food kept that same energy. ​The "Shareables": We went with the buffalo wings and the coconut shrimp. The shrimp were surprisingly large, but they showed up without any sauce. Both were fine, I guess? Very generic food court vibes and unmemorable unmemorable. ​Fish & Chips: The chips (fries) were the best part of the meal, which is saying something. The fish had a weird sweetness to it, and the cocktail sauce was aggressively heavy on the cilantro. I'm usually a fan of cilantro, but here it just felt like it was lost and out of place. Also the fish was covered in bread crumbs and not a traditional batter. ​Lobster Roll: This was the biggest heartbreaker. It was generic, bland, and lacked any real flavor. If you're going to charge theater-premium prices for lobster, it should probably taste like something. ​It's disheartening to pay for a "luxury" experience only to be told you can't have 70% of what's on the menu. I would've had a much better time if I could've actually eaten what I came for. Sadly, I don't think I'll be back unfortunately

I've loved all things Coltrane for as long as I can remember. His music was the soundtrack of my childhood & my introduction to jazz & the blues. So, while planning my return to NYC, I made sure to find a jazz club where I could experience his legacy. That led me to Dizzy's Club at Lincoln Center for A Masterful Tribute to Trane: Roxy Coss Quartet. I'll admit, I hesitated at the $60 cover & $20 minimum. Yet my server, Nidia, was amazingly engaging, & the seamless hospitality throughout, led by GM Raymond, was impressive. Most importantly, the extraordinary music made it worth every penny. The John Coltrane Centennial Celebration was nothing short of transcendent. Honoring Coltrane's iconic "Classic Quartet" era, saxophonist Roxy Coss led a powerhouse ensemble featuring Geoffrey Keezer on piano, James Cammack on bass, & Rudy Royston on drums. Together, they balanced fierce modal intensity with profound spiritual depth. Keezer's captivating commentary connected the music to Coltrane's history & legacy, while the musicians brought that history vividly to life. I especially appreciated the reflection on Coltrane's composition Alabama, written in response to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Artist Insights *Roxy Coss; Saxophones & Clarinet: Commanded the front line with muscular tenor solos & soaring soprano lines that captured Coltrane's questing spirit without merely imitating him. *Geoffrey Keezer; Piano: Followed his historical introductions with thunderous block chords & explosive modal runs. *James Cammack; Bass: The Ahmad Jamal Trio veteran anchored the ensemble with a deep, resonant pulse & commanding presence. & a gentle note: JC performs with a walker, yet his passion for playing remains unmistakably powerful. I love seeing that kind of dedication to the music. *Rudy Royston; Drums: Fueled the quartet with polyrhythmic fury & an exhilarating, Elvin Jones-inspired drive. The intimate space & ambience were supremely curated - pun intended: A Love Supreme. Great Jazz at the Lincoln Center & a salute to Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis for helping sustain this extraordinary jazz tradition. A triumphant & unforgettable homage to jazz royalty - TRANE, encore. I plan on visiting Dizzy's every time I return to NYC.

They also run some discounts, like student tickets, so check online if that applies to you. Overall, I really enjoyed Dizzy's Club and would definitely come back.

Inner decor is really special at BAMCafe as the walls have a brick - like structure, there are decorative lighting fixrures in the windows and the overall lighting/color aesthetic is gorgeous. Recently, the BAMCafe Live Series has been quite entertaining. It is a free live music showcase featuring different types of music. BAMCafe Live has been taking place on Friday + Saturday nights at 9pm.

Baraji is a Korean Music Group that blended the use of musical instruments and singing to give a lovely performance. Alvin Flythe and his band served the crowd with spectacular Jazz Music and Arthur Russell Concert last night was wonderful. Staff here at BAMCAFE enforce strict rules such as where you can stand etc, to ensure everyone's safety. The bar staff try their best to get you your order in a timely manner (it gets very busy w/ customers during live music nights). The happy hour is from 6 -8pm but one can get a alcoholic/ non-alcolohic beverage for the duration. I have only had a glass of juice which was $3.50. The DJ is there and plays an excellent selection of music before and after the live band performances. He keeps the party going from the beginning to the end!
