Even on the busiest afternoon, this place has the most attentive staff! I'm back in the LBC, and I can't stop thinking about their amazing guacamole and fresh chips!! The place feels like a home bar with not just staff but friends. I look forward to visiting again! read more

My friend and I decided to find a spot for a late afternoon martini. It also was the first day of really nice weekend weather in NYC. We ended up going to Due West. As we approached the entrance, we saw there was a line and right as we were about to join it, the bouncer said "Table for 2? I can get you right in!" Of course we were so grateful we were able to get a seat somewhere! The bar area was pretty packed with people standing but we got a table right by the window. I really wanted an espresso martini and was delighted when our waitress said they offer the best. My friend ordered a lemon martini. We both were very delighted with our drinks. Definitely will be back! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but my experience with the staff here was super offputting. Some friends and I wanted to wait in line for a table (group of 3). The manager said we can't wait in line and if we wanted to come in we had to stand at the bar (he wouldn't even let us put our name down for a table!). When we asked why we weren't allowed to wait in line for a table he said "Have you ever been to the West Village before?" in a super condescending tone. I can understand if they prioritize reservations over walk-ins, but the rude tone was really unnecessary and unprofessional. I'm a West Village local and I can say for certain my friends and I won't be back here! Don't waste your time at this place. P.S. We went to the Spaniard after this instead and they were really friendly and accommodating! read more

Popped in for a drink at the bar and what a treat it was. I'm a bit of a drink snob and honestly why shouldn't I be! The cost for cocktails in this city is expensive so if I order an Old Fashioned and they don't have big rocks then I'm immediately unimpressed. This spot has it all with regards to a great cocktail. Old Fashioned was one of the best we've had and I also had a Last Word that had the perfect amount of icy goodness that is a result of a top notch bartender that shakes that baby up just right. Our guy, Abi was amazing. So friendly and helpful and we just wanted to sit at the bar all night for his drinks, smile and kind attitude. NYC gets a bad rap for being unfriendly but this guy was a gem and the hubby and I will be back just to have his cocktails. Kudos to this spot! read more

I had a better experience here the second time around. My friend and I were seated right away. The whole place was full but not packed where it was overwhelming. We got: - Lychee - Aperol spritz - Old Diablo Our server was also super sweet! read more

Due West truly is not your average gastropub! With a great cocktail list, delicious food, and incredibly friendly staff it's no wonder this place is so popular! You cannot miss the hot crab dip, the smash burger, or the DW Sour cocktail. The atmosphere is welcoming and it is nestled in the perfect West Village location! I definitely recommend checking out Due West! read more

Alsways excellent service, great drinks and good food. Went to watch game. Was a slow night but it usually has a nice crowd "village style ". The McRib sliders were good and a nice play on the Golden Arches style but dressed up and grown adult version. Pizza was excellent. Food came out fast. Mac and cheese flavorful . This is the kind of place your parents , sister and cousins will like. Something for everyone. Enjoy you wont be disappointed read more

I've never written a review like this before, but what happened at this bar was not just unprofessional, it was dangerous and discriminatory. The staff, particularly the man who claimed to be the owner, targeted my husband with blatant hostility, made up lies to justify refusing us service, and went out of his way to flag down police because he was scared. He lied and told the police, I, his wife, said he had a gun. lol. Like what? My husband would never. It was clear that we were being profiled and treated unfairly from the moment we walked in. My husband did absolutely nothing wrong, and yet the way we were approached with aggression, baseless accusations, and a complete disregard for our safety was disgusting. The entire situation escalated because this man wanted to make a point, not because of any real issue. He put my husband's life in danger simply because he felt threatened by his presence. This place does not deserve anyone's business. If you value respect, safety, or basic human decency, I urge you to spend your money elsewhere. read more

Have had several foiled attempts to get in here in the past, but I finally made it! I expected it to be super-bougie, but it turned out to be surprisingly non-pretentious. It was a Thursday night, so not super crowded, and though I'd secured a reservation, we actually were able to just waltz on it. I like the table setup in here; it's intimate and cute for a girls cocktail night out. Bouncer and host were super friendly; waitstaff was attentive. I didn't even expect to make happy hour, but we did. We had 3 rounds of the Lychee 2.0, so, safe to say, that's our cocktail recommendation. I also tried the Happy Hour Beef Slider, very tasty, and my friend said the Fish Taco was worthy as well. We also got the Pepperoni Flatbread and the Fries, both 100% shareable sized and yummy. A little pricey for what they were, but not enough to make you angry because I've seen some TINY flatbreads, but the portions here were plentiful at least. It never got annoyingly crowded or anything either, which was great. I would come back to try the Lobster Roll! read more

Super cute and trendy restaurant in the West Village. On a beautiful spring day, we sat outside and enjoyed people watching while brunching. We shared the fries fried in duck fat and aoili. The thinly piping hot and lightly salted fries tasted very yummy and satisfying. As we continued to chat, we ordered their burger with a side salad instead of fries and the chicken bites. The drinks were super cute. I had the Aporith, which was kinda too close to alcohol for me but cute nonetheless. I saw the pink soda can and wondered what it was. The waitress said it was a rosatirade. We both tried it and didn't like it. I should have asked for it to be taken off the bill. Overall, the customer service was very good. Their team of staff members were very attentive and polite. read more

Another West Village ripoff restaurant where atmosphere trumps food. $22 for a "smash" burger which was a basic burger with a small fast-food-sized patty. Maybe they mean if you're smashed when you eat it you won't complain, because this wasn't a smash burger. Served with a large basket of puny fries that would be easier to eat with a spoon than one's hands (the fries I received did not resemble the pictures posted here). The dish was so bad. I also ordered the chicken bites for $17(!) which were a riff on Japanese Karaage, using honey and some other harsh tasting seasoning. A decent portion but struck me as sloppy for the price. I can't begin to understand how this place was so crowded. They're just trying to get the average bill as high as possible while serving food that is completely mediocre. Hard pass for me in the future. read more

Good spot for a quick lobster roll and oyster meal-good glass of wine. Kind staff. Glad we stumbled upon this place.

What a fantastic spot! Fresh cocktails, delicious food, great vibe and the nicest staff in town! Can't wait to go back!!

A very tasty lobster roll and the fries were out of this world. It seemed as if it had a hint of tajin seasoning on the fries which gave it a unique flavor. Only issue would be upon walking into the establishment; I had to find a table for myself in the corner of an extremely crowded dining area. Although that was a minor issue, the food overcompensated for the inconvenience. read more

Never have I ever been to a bar with so many RULES. We weren't allowed to stand up and talk to each other. If we were sitting at a table, our legs weren't allowed to face the opposite bar from us. They had to face inside the table. Also if we were sitting at a table, we weren't allowed to sit down unless we had a separate tab open EVEN though we have been spending money on drinks for two hours there? Their servers put their hands on us to move us out of the way?! They're on a total power trip. We're spending money at your bar and not causing a ruckus. CALM DOWN. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. It's a nice open space. Unfortunately, the staff is not very friendly and the food is mediocre. I got the oysters and a lobster roll with fries. The oysters were ok...not the best but fresh enough... Fries were a bit salty. The worst part was the lobster roll. There were pieces of the shell mixed in. :( Bit into it and felt something hard moving around in my mouth. The waitress took it back and didn't charge for the lobster roll. Probably won't go back. Will always wonder what could be lingering in my food. read more

I came here yesterday to watch a playoff game and had a fantastic time! My friends and I loved our cocktails and NA sour beer. While very crowded, service was attentive and professional. I like the ambiance as the place finds a perfect mix between elevated sports bar and cocktail bar. Will try their food next time. read more

Due west is my favorite go to! Staff is great and food/ drinks are amazing. Very accommodating and vibes are awesome!

We went for brunch and ordered the breakfast nacho's and fried chicken sandwich and both were solid. The nitro boost and bloody mary were good too. They have big screens to watch games but the music can get loud. read more

great place to eat, drink, I went for my cousins birthday and i had one of the best times there!!

I love Due West. They were a little snobby with reservations during covid but overlooking that, it's a great spot in the West Village with awesome music, a friendly bouncer, and great cocktails. The crowd is mainly late 20s I would say which makes it a rare spot that's the perfect combination of fun but not fratty. They have an espresso martini on tap that I think is one of the best in the city, and at $16 comes in pretty far below the staggering $22 espresso martini at American Bar. Bouncer is unusually nice for a West Village spot. Bartenders are fast and kind and give good drink recommendations. Will def return. read more

We went here to chill at the bar, we were a large group and couldn't be seated, which was fine. Three of us found a table and ordered some drinks, but the rest of us weren't allowed to be near the table for whatever reason. The lady at the front told us we couldn't be standing around without ordering anything, which makes sense, but she had an attitude when we were deciding what to order. She shoved my drink into my hand and we wanted to leave ASAP. While we were there for 20-30 mins, the three friends that sat down finished their drinks and got up so the rest of the group could sit and drink. We asked the waitress if that was okay and she rolled her eyes and said no... meanwhile so many people were filling up the empty tables and she didn't lead us toward any or let us know if we could take them even though we had asked her about seating. Seems like she just wanted us to get out as soon as we walked in even though we gave them business. Drink was good and strong though...got most of it on my hands after it was shoved to me. But nonetheless good! read more

Due West is a very intimate setting. Quite casual but with a nice upscale feel. Beer selection is usually and interesting. The lobsta roll was excellent, very fresh. The main course was prepared perfectly just like the service. Would highly recommend this place for a quick night out that feels like an expensive weekend restaurant. read more

Upgrade from your normal sports bar with great bar staff and loungeyish feel. Easy to grab bar stools or a seat but you'll be just fine standing because that's the atmosphere. Typical WV vibes if you're into that crowd. Great to watch the playoffs! LGK! read more

A go-to happy hour in the west village! I've been a few times and have made reservations in order to avoid a wait. Great happy hour menu with food, cocktails, wine and beer. Cozy interior and always a good time. read more

This place has great happy hour! The lychee cocktails were delicious. The beer was reasonably priced. We all got the bar food, happy hour and were very satisfied. I thought the beef sliders were perfectly cooked and just the right amount of cheesy fat to round out the burger. My friend loved her hush puppies. there are a few outside tables and for a Tuesday the inside was full by 6 o'clock for happy hour. This is not far from several different train stations so it's convenient for a meeting place. Inside I would say it's a good ambience for romantic dates because It's a little dark and small inside. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The service, the food, the drinks, the ambiance, doesn't get any better. Visiting from Miami and glad I hit this spot. By far the best part of our trip.

Good and service was solid. Drinks were good as well, kind waitress and great crowd. I will return. Fun place to watch a game.

I was told by the "manager" I was not allowed a drink and removed from the establishment because my speech was "slurred". To be completely truthful, I am a dyslexic male and have trouble speaking under pressure. STAY AWAY!! read more

Check you credit card statements after visiting this establishment. They doubled the tip amount on two recent bills. I will never be visiting this establishment again and neither should you. Such a dishonest practice trying to take advantage of their customers, many of whom will never check their statements. Shame on Due West. Be careful out there! read more

I took visiting friends here for Sunday brunch and service was very quick (not too busy on that Sunday I was there) my partner loved it especially since they played Sunday football on the screens they have all over the restaurant. It's half sports bar / half brunch spot. Not too difficult to get a table or drinks there, especially in the village. read more

my best friend and i went for drinks for happy hour, we were super excited and half way through our wine glasses when a random bar tender asked for our ID's. We are younger (22 and 23) so are used to this and handed him our ID's which he scanned. After mine scanned he was staring at us for over a minute and he asked how old i was and what i was doing here. I said i was 23 and worked at a company in new york since june and graduated from college in north carolina last may. he then scanned my friends ID which also went through and asked the same questions. after she answered, he looked at us and loudly said "how many times did you rehearse that?" this was very uncomfortable and unneeded after our lD's had scanned and we had answered his questions. this is not a good bar to go to if you are one to three year post grad as you won't be treated with respect. we are always happy to offer our ID and answer questions in our age but asking how many times we rehearsed was rude and unneeded. read more

I came here for drinks on a Saturday night looking for a place that wouldn't be too crowded. We managed to get table for 4 without much effort. Village Manhattan is a classic. Reliable and predictable. DW sour - Fords Gin, Apricot, White Pepper, Lemon, Tamarind, Egg White. I personally love egg white drinks for the frothiness and this one delivers a nice twist with the apricot. Seats were comfortable and drinks came out really quickly, which is a nice bonus. This place was on the louder side, but I can see it being a nice lounge vibe on a less crowded weekday. read more

Watery cocktails. The dilution may improve the profit margin but not the satisfaction. Pleasant staff, but otherwise avoid.
