    Dry tai
    Milena H.

    Nice intimate bar with historical roots. They have both cafe and bar seating so you can stand around or sit for happy hour! My favorite part is their wonderful Non-alcoholic menu - try out the Dry Tai! Service was quick and friendly. They don't round up their costs much so you'll see pricing with exact change - respect! They're a neighborhood favorite spot so definitely check it out on your next Downtown visit!

    Was looking for somewhere with outdoor seating for a bite and a drink. After viewing several restaurants that didn't grab my attention, I came across Fresh Salt with their Happy Hour sign. They have happy hour seven days a week from 4-8 pm. Wine and mixed drinks are $6 and drafts are. $5. Their food consists of sandwiches and small plates. The service is friendly and down to earth. My happy hour red was a drinkable Montepulciano. My grilled chicken sandwich on a bed of greens was what I needed and relatively healthy. The food and drink was a 3.5, and the service and the prices were 5 stars. Inflation has not hit their prices which are amazingly low. I'll be back when I check out a concert at Pier 17 later this summer.

    Great happy hour spot in the seaport with $4-5 drafts, $6 well and wine. They've got pretty good spinach artichoke dip too. Outdoor area is spacious while the interior is small but cozy.

    Brooo The artichoke dip is to die for. It was hearty and gooey and just the perfect ratio. I think I could eat it once a week. Only wish was pita was flashed grilled or something but whatever. I would also go as far to say the cocktails were very cheap considering it's in Financial District. I would have rate this place closer to one dollar sign than two.

    Went for the autumn tippler and got the seaport siren. Yummy drink but perhaps more lemony than I like. But good casual place and lovely outdoor setup. The indoor seemed extremely cozy although I didn't stay for long. I'll be back if I'm in the area

    I've come to this place several times for the Autumn Tippler. The drinks are decent and the vibe is casual. I've never had the food here but I wouldn't mind trying something from their menu. They have good happy hour prices and the bar is always full. I would suggest trying the outdoor seating if the weather is good.

    I've been to Fresh Salt a couple of times in the past, and when it comes to being in a comfortable environment to catch up with friends, this place does not fail to please. First, finding a venue that has happy hour isn't so easy in the vicinity, and theirs is quite good. Happy hour specials run from 4 pm to 8 pm and it includes: $6 wine such as Rose, Sauvignon Blanc & Montepulciano as well as $5 draft beer and well drinks. In addition, their craft cocktails normally $12 were $8. There was no table service therefore orders must be placed at the bar for both food and drink---however, food was served to the table once ready. We settled in the back part of the establishment but there were also seats at the bar and when the weather permits--outdoor dining. Their menu in terms of food was simple but diverse: sandwiches, salads, dips for sharing (hummus & artichoke) and additional plates. For drink, I selected Rose while my friends opted for the red. We also ordered food upon which two of my friends chose the meatloaf sandwich while I went with the breaded eggplant sandwich. Most entrees averaged at $12 with some less expensive items. My sandwich was breaded eggplant (assuming it was fried) with mozzarella and pesto on a ciabatta bread. I chose a salad rather than potato chips to accompany the delicious sandwich. My friends enjoyed their meal very much. Fresh Salt is a cute, homey type of establishment with good choices. Music seemed to be of the 60s genre all evening. This place is an old reliable.

    What time does happy hour end? On the website it says 8pm but on yelp I saw 6pm and I'm not sure which is true (their website could potentially not be up to date).

    Happy Hour is from 4-8pm Sunday to Friday, and 2-8pm on Saturdays! Our website is correct, thanks for checking!

    We met up for happy hour at Grove Street Social with friends--one who has lived in the West Village…read morefor over a decade and another visiting from Pennsylvania. It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

    There are some pros and cons about this place, but it was pretty neat overall!…read more Came here with friends (group of 4) on a Saturday night, so we paid the $10 cover. Which is fine in my opinion because they have live jazz and I love that. I also love a bar with an activity outside of just drinking. Some pros: so many games and pool tables and live jazz and decent beer Some cons: not many seats, long waits for the pool/ping pong/foosball tables on a weekend, loud (not a place to get to know someone I'd say) Overall it's definitely ~cool~. The crowd looked to be a lot of NYU students/20somethjngs in tech or whatever living their best city life. Not the vibe for all, but definitely the vibe for some.

    Pretty cool and genuinely unique spot, different from most places in the city. The whole concept is…read morebuilt around keeping your hands busy: pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, chess, checkers, even some old-school arcade cabinets scattered through a sprawling underground space. It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

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.

They do not give you a 4 seater table if your party has 3 people. You will have to sit at a small 2 seater with an extra chair added on the side which makes seating very awkward and cramped. Another reason this spot is not great for groups is because not all of their food is "shareable". The photos I have added to my review are the ones that ARE shareable. However, a lot of the other items we got such as the bikini or the shrimp toast were extremely difficult to share because it was a small bite clearly meant for one. It was misleading because our server told us that they only have shareables on the menu instead of actual entrees. I will say the food and drinks were very good, though! I would come back if I was with only one other person, but it really is not a group spot.
