    Spicy nachos
    Alyssa D.

    A very sad birthday experience :( A warning to those who make birthday plans here-- I am very disappointed by my experience, which is so sad to say because I don't usually judge harshly in my reviews. But being that this was my birthday, and was lied at to my face, it was kind of a bummer. So...What Happened? I chose the upper west side to have my party so my friends wouldn't have to be hit with congestion pricing. E's made it easy online to book a space in their bar, so I reserved for 20 people. I guess that was too easy. When I got there, we were seated at a table in the front of the bar with only 10 seats. When I went up to the person that sat us down, I asked where our other table was because we had a reservation for 20. The response was, "oh people usually just stand around the table if it's more than 10 people". Bro...what?? No where online did it say that. It was my birthday, and I was embarrassed and disappointed. Eventually the folks sitting behind my table moved and my group took over that space but that wasn't until 45 minutes later. We then had a server for my table who promised us a round of shots for the group. I asked 30 minutes later about the shots and he told me no. So not only did we get screwed over by the seating, but the empty promises made it worse. So..Anything Good to Say? The aesthetic is cool. I liked the jukebox they had in the front half. Food was decent too, I have to give it that. If I was introduced to this place with a small group, I would've had a fantastic time. But with a group bigger than 10, and shoving us all in the walkway comes off as stingy business practice. Overall My friends made my birthday special, but I had a hard time fully enjoying myself feeling so embarrassed by inviting all these people and them having to be crowded on standing while they eat. I feel betrayed by this place low key. I don't cause scenes and didn't the other day but the empty promises, and me having to face my friends like this was an awful feeling for me. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, nor fussy. I love to celebrate businesses and that shows in my many other reviews. I'm way bummed by this experience.

    Spreading the Yelp love for #ThankYouThursday to this bar that made my birthday this year so special and fun! As many New Yorkers know, it is so hard to find a spot to make a large group reservation without a fee or food/drink minimum. E's is the place! We had a reservation for 10. You put a credit card down to hold the reservation and there is a cancellation policy. However, there is no minimum or fee to reserve a large table! This spot is definitely more of a dive bar, but it is so fun! The music was pumping and the drinks were flowing! They even had a sign on our table that said "Cara's Birthday!" So cute! They also have a plethora of board games you can get out and play at your table. Thanks for making my birthday so fun and stress free this year!

    Damn, that chopped cheese burger is so good! Haha The place is a bit too crowded + divey for me. I'd go back for that burger though. That is all, that is the review.

    Nachos
    Elizabeth L.

    I love this bar! I go almost every Tuesday for trivia. The staff is so amazing. The happy hour deals are pretty good prices, the food is also very good for bar food. We love the nachos. It can get crowded for trivia so I recommend booking a table in advance. It's such a great vibe inside with many booths and cool stickers on the walls. I love coming here

    Drinks were on point, service was decent. Loved the vibe. Spacious with outdoor seating. Great for small or large groups. Will go again. Stumbled up on this place just strolling. Nice surprise.

    Love this bar! Happy hour is great - and I need to come back to try their burger - they have lots of board games for you to choose from as well

    Great bar. Fun place to hang out. Relaxed vibe. Super nice bartender. Excellent happy hour deals!!!

    First Impressions: This spot became one of my favorite local spots to hang out ever since the pandemic and outdoor seating started. I love the vibes and the happy hour crowd. I always end up meeting dope ass people here. The Noms: The happy hour food is filling and cheap. I wish they'd expand the menu a bit more since I like coming here so often, it would be nice to have more options. Last time I came here with a girlfriend, one of the guys behind the bar offered us wings (which I would never turn down free food, lol) he said he was trying out two flavors to trial on the menu. It was good, love the spicy sweet flavor best.. the other one was just regular buffalo wing sauce. If you're reading this... PLEASE EXPAND THE HAPPY HOUR DRINKS MENU! Thank you! I love coming here for trivia nights and for karaoke. I'm too chicken shit to actually go up and sing, but I love singing along as a backup singer lol. This has become my default spot to take out of town friends who visit (along with Prohibition) so please please keep improving! In Conclusion: 10/10 would recommend coming here and have brought many friends here in the last two years since I discovered this spot was dope AF!

    I was in the area to see batman. I stopped in here quick and place was lively . I sat at the bar And got a quick drink. The beer and the drink was really good. The prices here are also very reasonable. I like the vibes of the bar and the Bartender were friendly And attentive. I did not try any food so I would definitely have to come back to visit. I noticed place has games and overall a pretty chill spot for hanging with friends.

    Tableside s'mores
    Caitlin B.

    The table side s'mores are brilliant. It's such a cool concept. The proportions are off though. You get a dozen or so marshmallows but only one chocolate bar. So it's more like tableside roasting marshmallows than s'mores. Drinks were ok. Fries and onion rings were really good. We sat in the table service section in the back but waited forever before a waiter came to take our order and again when we needed the check.

    E's Burger
    Ann N.

    Great happy hour! I got a well drink, burger, and fries for ~$22! It was a great experience and so cheap especially in NYC. The burger was pretty juicy and fries were crispy. The service was quick, which is always nice during happy hour. It was nice outside.

Huevos Rancheros ($19), and Vegetarian Omelette ($19) which was served with home fries and tossed salad was a good portion. Kimbo Coffee ($4.25) was actually pretty good although would've loved it to be warmer. Refills were slow to come. Food was inline with our expectations. Food arrived within 8-10 mins of placing our order, so yeah, really quick! Our initial server/waiter wasn't that attentive but their crew members were definitely more alert.

Well, upon tasting the suizes, a C- at best. the guac also "average", not worth a detour. adding" insult to injury", asked for small container of salsa verde, which she provided. but, as leaving, also asked for small container of salsa roja to which I also like to compare v.other salsas I've had. I was told it would be extra, and that she had thrown in the salsa verde "gratis" - 2oz "gratis" - give me a break??? I have been to many Mexican restaurants, I have NEVER been denied either when ask, always been accommodated - simply good customer relations and KIM: we're talking about 2oz, nothing more. I just don't get it. So, a waitress makes a decision to tell a potential customer, she would not throw in 2oz of salsa Rojas - totally alienating. Obviously will never return - just moronic!

Let me be clear, the main redeeming aspect of this place is the talent on stage. The musicians were exceptional and deserved far better than the environment surrounding them. I ordered a scotch neat, something I'm very familiar with, and immediately knew something was off. When I politely flagged down a waiter, he responded with visible annoyance, as if I was inconveniencing him by being a paying customer. I explained the issue and simply asked if it could be checked or replaced. Instead of addressing it professionally, he walked away without a word, returned holding the bottle and my glass, and said, "this is what you were poured," before carelessly tossing the drink back onto the table. No apology. No explanation. Just attitude. It escalated from there. When I confronted him about his behavior, he denied it outright and then doubled down with an aggressive, confrontational stance, getting in my face and effectively threatening me. His exact words? "If I tossed your drink on the table, it would have been all over you!", and "Man, shut yo ass!" Completely unprofessional and unacceptable in any setting, let alone an establishment that positions itself as upscale. The manager's response was just as disappointing. Instead of addressing the behavior of his staff, he blamed me, asking why I "chased" the waiter and suggesting I should have gone directly to him. That's not how basic customer service works. I tried to resolve the issue directly, respectfully, and without escalation, something his employee clearly had no interest in. I was thinking if I talk to the waiter first, he wouldn't get in trouble with his manager. To make matters worse, the manager continued to defend the waiter rather than de-escalate the situation. At that point, it was clear this wasn't a one-off issue; it's a reflection of how this place operates. I paid my bill and left. For a venue that attracts world-class jazz talent, it's astonishing how low the standard of service is. This place is doing a disservice to the artists who perform there. I will never return, and I would strongly caution anyone expecting a professional, respectful experience to look elsewhere.
