    Buffalo chicken wrap

    Food and service were both fantastic. Sat at the bar and didn't wait for a drink. I would eat here again

    Ate there on Monday, May 26, 2025. Enjoyed a delicious Burger with fries. Honestly, this was one of the best burgers I have eaten at a pub/ restaurant. Meat was fresh and tasty. Fries weren't greasy.

    My fiancé and I stumbled on Fiddlesticks while looking for a spot to catch a soccer game--and it hit the mark! The dim, cozy vibe makes you feel like you've stepped out of NYC for a bit. Big surprise: the food was legit good. Mozzarella sticks were perfectly crisp, the buffalo chicken wrap delivered, and the fries were crispy with plenty of dipping sauces (always a win). We'll definitely be back!

    Popped in for a cocktail prior to a dinner reservation. Was initially seated at the bar where we met Timothy who is an extremely talented bartender. Super friendly and very accommodating. We had to move to a table as the rest of the crew had arrived. Christina took care of us and she was super friendly, knowledgeable and took great care of us. The drinks were incredible and we wanted to try some more. As a bar owner it's awesome to see such talent. I wish we could hire them. We highly recommended this place and we will visit again.

    Hot buttered rum. Smooth like butter...BTS-style

    Fiddlesticks has two personalities, much like Two-Face. Before 10pm, it is a quiet, casual, sparsely populated pub with affordable drinks that sometimes skew hot, perfect for freezing NYC nights when snow inexplicably falls. Get the Hot Buttered Rum, Hot Toddy and Hot Apple Cider to warm your nips. I like this side of Fiddlesticks. It pleases my inner 89yo. Sometime around 10pm, Fiddlesticks turns into the grandpa trying too hard to reclaim his lost youth. The music gets 10x louder, the quality of said music gets much worse, and the clientele get progressively younger by a decade with each passing half hour. By the time 11pm rolls around, those attractive 40-somethings you were making sexy eye contact with for the past two hours have been replaced by 23yo Jayden clones who never knew a world without iPhones. Everyone's packed in like a NYC rush hour E train, and no one knows what the heck is going on. It's not a club, but it's not NOT obnoxious like a club either. You know? My advice? Just come and leave before 10pm.

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

As for food, there were some true hits but most of the food was good but basic. The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

The concept is simple: tell the bartenders what type of liquor and flavors you enjoy, and they create a custom cocktail just for you.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.
