Stumbled upon this brunch spot, and was pleasantly surprised by their outdoor dining option. They have separated dining seats with ample, comfortable and heated seating for each party. As for the food, it was definitely good, but not amazing. Chicken and Waffles: The chicken could have been more crispy with a crunch to it, as well as more juicy as well. The waffles also needed to have more of a crunch to them - they had the texture of the kind you'd make yourself of a breakfast buffet. 3/5 Avocado Eggs Benedict: This dish was also good. Eggs poached well - overall quite standard. Came with a side of delicious potatoes and a salad. 4/5 They offer a fantastic brunch deal where you can get two mimosas + one juice + one entr read more

A good space for 15 people and yall can party and have fun without disturbing other customers. read more

Bubo - Oysters - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Bubo was real good. Matter of fact, it was fantastic and our server Soleé was a sweetheart. I came here on an empty stomach but that changed real quick after slurping down a dozen fresh oysters neatly arranged on a tray of ice in a neat clockwise fashion on small bulbs of ice. I wished they gave out a little more mignonette sauce, but I appreciated the simplicity of serving the condiments within an oyster shell. I thought the concept was super cute!! We were here on a whim for my sister's birthday celebration but after such an experience beyond what we were used to, I definitely will be coming back!! The owners were terrific too!! 10/10. read more

This was definitely an accidental find when my friends were looking for drinks in the Maryhill area. One of the coolest things about this place is that it is deceptively large. And the drinks are really good. I feel like the service was also very good. The items are more in a top of style. Our favorite was definitely the appetizers. The flatbread was also pretty good. Protip: there are phone chargers in case your phone is dying lol. read more

Quite disappointed about the food at this place. It's a very spacious, almost oversized restaurant in New York. Interior was nicely designed. Our waiter was very nice. But the food was just not okay. 1. Pork Belly flatbread- flavor was very good but the bread looked and tasted uncooked. Enjoyed the toppings but not the bread. 2. Seafood Pasta- seafood was good, but the pasta tasted very floury/powdery and uncooked as well. The above two dishes took more than 40 minutes to come out and uncooked. (The restaurant was nearly empty on a Monday night, so it's not busy) This make us feel the Kitchen was inexperienced. 3. Sweetbread- pretty good dish and not too greasy. 4. Fried Fish- also pretty good, like regular fish and chip. 5. Happy Hour Sausage- sliced up sausages.... read more

Best Oysters in NYC!! Wellfleets for Happy Hr. Along with one of my favorite Roses BTG. Château Sainte Marguerite Cru Classe. What I love about this place is, it looks like a casual neighborhood bar but the attention to detail is great. From the Greek Inspired food, wines & spirits, glass wear and even the soaps in the bathroom. Come for Happy Hour and stay for dinner. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a cute place for happy hour. The service is excellent and they are super dog friendly. The wine list is great as well.

A follow up review on this place because I find myself going here whenever I need to think and have a good drink. My drink of choice is the Last Bubo. It is a drink made with mezcal and it is delicious! I welcomed the new year with a cocktail of infections. Everything but Covid, strep and the flu. I am not sure if it is due to my job feeling like a job and entailing me having to take it for the team and be put in a situation that I absolutely detest, my current dating situation being everything but green fields and sunshine, or if I have been frustrated that I wasn't able to go to the gym for a month due to the ailments, but I was down in the dumps. I haven't been in the mood to hang out with ppl and just needed a drink to myself. I first went to Docks, but it was just so crowded. So I made my way to Bubo and met Andres and his business partner, I was on my way out after having the Last Bubo (my favorite drink) and truffle fries and they stopped me to ask about things here. I sat with them and they brought out various dishes that were new on the menu. The mushroom pizza, was delicious! I wish I wasn't so full from my fries. The fries used to be shoe string, but now they are thicker and are batter fried. Not mad at all. This place is so dear to me and my friends that we go here often. Next place to try is Ted's, which I am 100% sure will be just as great as here and Aunt Bernie's. If you are around here, try it out. Great date spot. read more

Typical slow service from the owners of Ted's. What TF are you guys thinking? Thank goodness Bella was there to take take of my wife and I. She was very nice and we connected on both being from Texas. Food took 45 minutes...and that's with us two and one other patron in there. Wife's eggs Benedict was not great: Eggs were almost hard boiled and English muffin was burnt. My breakfast burrito was ok but nothing to write home about. With 45 minutes of cook time, I expected something more. Too bad. You are merely a few streets away from and we love supporting neighborhood places. But this ain't it. read more

Phenomenal service! I really wish I got her name but my friend and I were served by a super friendly and just all around wholesome server. Food - 5/5. Only had the calamari (lemon'd up), the octopus (made me think they got the octopus on the spot with how delicious it was), and the chocolate lava cake with ice cream - the chocolate oozing out of the cake deserves its own review. Drinks - 5/5. I ordered a reliable Malbec, and it was very delicious Bathroom - 5/5, old school interior design that gave me shady Mad Men deal vibes, ample space with a sliding door and good accessibility! Mints - 10/10, love a free mint! read more

Drinks: 5/5 Ordered a bottle of sparkling wine for the table & it was popping! It was a nice Brut wine on the sweeter side, which I LOVED! Service: 4/5 We walked in on a Tuesday evening and there was no host in the front to greet us, which was a bit odd. We ended up sitting in a booth in a corner and within a few minutes we were greeted and they took our order! Staff checked in occasionally. Vibe: 5/5 This place is a secret gem! I've walked past here so many times and never gave it another glance. Upon entering, it was SO much bigger than I thought. I expected a hole in the wall but it is a large space. In the front is a pub vibe and the further you go back it gets dim and a nice intimate, classy but laid back vibe sort of like a speakeasy! Perfect for a girl's night out, date night, or large group get togethers! Will have to come back to Bubo during happy hour! read more

Came here strictly for drinks so rating does not include food. A friend of mine suggested to meet up here and I was amazed that this place existed as I walk by this place plenty of times. I was pretty taken away by the interior design which gave off a classy high end vibe. They have a pretty unique line up for beers on tap which changes every so often and a good cocktail menu. The bartender is very friendly and tentative. Prices were pretty standard. Didn't come here during happy hour so I'd assume the deals are nicer then. Will be looking forward to coming here another time. read more

There is so much to say about Bubo. Great location, beautiful space, excellent staff and service. Their oysters are so fresh you can smell the ocean.

I have tried pretty much all the dollar oyster places in the area (between 34th and 3rd to 32nd and 6th ave area) Bubo offers the best quality, hands down! We go there at least twice a week! Everyone else here already bragged about how great the food is, I can assure you, it is true. One thing I would like to add is the owner's attention to details. You can see it from the food, the decorations, restaurant layout, to the glasses they use. Right from the front, detailed manicured designer flowers, and plants. Without missing a beat, friendly staffs come out with crystal glasses for water (or it looks like crystal). A little bit of heaven in the Murray Hill area! read more

My wife and I came to Bubo for a nice dinner after a long walk with my child and service animal. Upon entering one of the staff members asked if our dog was a service animal to I replied, yes. He continued to press further about what service our dog performed and what my wife's issue was, which embarrassed my wife because she has a debilitating anxiety related issue that our dog helps with, this is different from an ESA pet. She began to explain this, but upon explaining, got very frustrated because the question was extremely inappropriate, asking about the state of her health in front of the whole restaurant. We never got to eat here and we left because of how disrespectful and inconsiderate the person asking the question was and we will not be coming back again. read more

Delightful ambiance accompanied by delicious food and cocktails. The service was great and everyone was very welcoming.

A fun spot to have something delicious with friends. If I lived in NYC, I'd be a repeat customer!

Really cute bar in the Murray Hill area. It has 2 contrasting vibes. Sleek wine bar in the front and old pub style in the back bar. They also have outdoor picnic style tables. The main man behind the bar Jeffrey is very friendly. The food here was delicious. Some of the best calamari I've ever eaten as well as fall off the bone lamb shank. Food came out relatively quickly. There is also a nice wine list with affordable bottles. Definitely will be returning. read more

Bubo is by far our favorite neighborhood joint. Quality $1 oysters + $5 beers + $8 wines + cool loungey music + outdoor seating + dog friendly + friendly service staff = BEST HAPPY HOUR ON THIRD AVE. The octopus, in particular, is pretty spectacular. They marinate it in some kind of secret recipe which makes it unusually soft and tender and oh so delicious in a certain dill-infused creamy sauce. Just get it and savor the flavor. :-) read more

Great for a date night. A variety of small plate options and drinks. Good service and would definitely return

Their brunch was delicious and they have a really nice set for $24 on weekends. It included two drinks, a beverage,main , AND dessert!!! Really great price for the amount and quality of food. The service was also amazing-John was our server and he was the sweetest! He was super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Would definitely come back and recommend!!! read more

Swung by here on a Sunday night - a few other couples had wandered into the restaurant but we didn't need any reservations. The bar itself is quite sexy and the interior is dimly lit making this a very nice date spot. There are also a few outdoor tables if you're interested! I did feel the cocktail menu was somewhat limited, but my friend got the spicy margi which he enjoyed. I had a glass of wine which was a sizable pour for the price! We tried a number of different dishes as well - they have a good assortment of tapas style dishes that are perfect for sharing. The standout was the grilled octopus which was fantastic!! It was perfectly cooked and the sauce it was served on was fantastic. I also liked the saganaki which was basically fried melty cheese served with toasted bread. The calamari was unremarkable. The lamb shank (one of the larger dishes) was also decent. Overall, it's a nice spot to come for dinner or drinks and the server was attentive to our needs. Would recommend. read more

Hidden brunch gem! Steal of a deal for boozy brunch Overall: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Service: 5/5 On Saturdays and Sundays they have a brunch pre fixe special of $19 for 2 drinks (mimosa or Prosecco), coffee/tea/espresso, and a main (burger, chicken and waffles, or omelette). They have $1 oysters as well, beautifully presented. The quality of the brunch food is great as is the presentation and portion - all 3 options of the pre fixe, and the drinks are solid. The service is outstanding, really conscientious of needs and attentive. The space is gorgeous as well, super upscale and modern - think upscale cocktail bar with high top tables and leather bar stools. Love the vibes. Highly highly recommend this place, what a hidden gem and a steal of a deal! Great value for the quality and experience. read more

Cute Greek/Cypriot spot in midtown. I stopped by here with a friend recently for a drink and some appetizers. The decor is cute and intimate. My friend had the meatballs, which are apparently amazing, and I had the Greek fries with feta cheese. The fries were all right - I imagined real Greek fries, think cute and covered with seasoning and feta, but they were American fries with some pieces of feta on top. I would recommend this place and will be back. read more

Let me set the scene. A wonderful 75 degree Sunday evening. Looking for a spot for dinner with yummy protein options and reasonable prices. Coming from the Pod 39 hotel... we stumble upon the outside garden seating of Bubo. So cute! What's more?!? 1$ oysters Reasonable drinks and well made Great service (a quiet night) Nice outdoor seating Great food we had the lamb meatballs, branzino, haloumi and broccolini side - all so good Greater menu for sharing Great outdoor space Bar is nice and bathroom is niiiiice If it was busier, might have felt less intimate, but if you are looking for a pleasant Sunday night spot...you will have done well here! The only downside - I ordered a glass of white haven wine and I am % sure the Sauvignon blanc I got was not whitehaven....a little bit sketchy...but otherwise amazing. Maybe ask them to put it in front of you :) read more

We had such an incredible experience at Bubo! We were walking around Kips bay and we walked up to Bubo's looking at the menu, and there we were greeted by our waiter who gave us the updated brunch menu.
