I "foolishly" knocked over the candle on the table and the bouncer yelled at us for having 1 of 2 candles out and some Irishman yelled at the whole table for "not acting out age". Never coming back here again and I suggest you find a different place to come. Not worth it here at all. My friend even got a rag from the bartender and we swiftly cleaned up the table. Completely unnecessary rude service. Especially as we were one of very few tables. This place isn't what it used to be, go somewhere else. It'll be a better time than this read more

drinks were really good and well made were able to seat party of 5 immediately at 5 pm on a saturday! just a bit too loud to have conversation though food options seemed okay, decent for larger groups read more

The menu surprised me. Engaging a variety of Palates which is versatile, thoughtful and modern. I only had beer and a steak sando but damn bro... The steak was cooked medium. The color, taste and tenderness was perfect. Idk what the side sauce was but it complimented the fries very well. 11/10! read more

Jackdaw - Steak Sandwich - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Definitely loud and turns into a bit of a club scene at 7pm which I felt was a little too early considering it's still dinner time where people are finishing their meals. Music is great though, service was really good (nice of them to give us free shots!), and the food was tasty. Steak skewers could've used a sauce or veg but not bad. read more

Food was good. Service was better. Sloth Spritz drink was amazingly tasty- not too sweet. Started with nachos which weren't too cheesy. Steak sandwich was tasty too. Service was good.! read more

This is a 4.5 star review I took a trip to Jackdaw on a Monday evening for a happy hour with friends. We wanted to savor the last bit of warm weather we'll have in New York, so thankfully, Jackdaw has a great outdoor space! In addition to their happy hour (which I believe goes from 5-7pm), this place has special happy hour food deals depending on the day. On Mondays, they had $6 Espresso Martini, $8 Pickle Martinis, and $3 Bao Buns (with a requirement to order a minimum of 3, for $9). I got an Aperol Spritz, which I loved, and the pork bao buns, which I also loved. The bao buns were fluffy and flavorful, although the pork was just a little tough. Overall, still a beautiful place. Our server, Seamus, was also quite attentive. A good find! read more

Stopped by Jackdaw with two friends after seeing Wicked: For Good, and it was the perfect post-show spot. The bar is cozy yet lively and a great balance of energy without feeling overcrowded. (To be honest, it did run a little younger -- like college-aged). We were able to snag a table quickly, and the service was warm and on point. I ordered the maple whiskey sour, and it was phenomenal. Smooth, seasonal, and just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the whiskey. Easily the best cocktail I've had in the East Village in a while. My friends all loved their drinks (baked apple margarita & spicy margarita). The bartenders clearly know what they're doing. It's the kind of bar that works whether you want a chill conversation or a fun night out. The music wasn't overwhelming but the hits kept playing. Definitely adding Jackdaw to my rotation. read more

It has been a long work week so my friend and I wanted to have some drinks and food. She actually googled around our work area and found Jackdaw. It was midday and we were seated right away. The interior was beautifully decorated for the holidays and our host was very charming. We ordered the Frozen Lychee martini, French fries and nachos. When I tell you, that was the best frozen martini I've ever had. It was delicious. The appetizers were great. You can't go wrong with those choices. They have weekly specials so take advantage of that. You can't say I didn't tell you. Eat, drink and enjoy! read more

Good, no frills spot for an easy meal. Came here for a last minute brunch and was thankful to get a table! The place has a 2 for 1 brunch special where you get 2 drinks per person for the price of 1 - say less! Drinks were tasty and boozy. The breakfast burrito was delicious- well seasoned, hearty and filling. It came with home fries - again a very generous portion. Great neighborhood spot and will be back for more! read more

Phenomenal spot with wonderfully crafted cocktails at fair prices and fantastic happy hour and daily specials. The bartenders are friendly and the place is casual but intimate. They also have a table in front of a fireplace with cozy seating around it for a group. The food was decent but nothing that will knock your socks off. read more

1. The bartender is racist. Treats differently if you are white or not. 2. They have attitude in general and they discriminate how well they treat their customers based on how much customers tip. If you tip low around 20-25% it will be clear on their face that they are not fond with it. 3. Bar is very loud with repetitive music with ass service. Honestly I was fine with the bar the first visit. The bartender still had an attitude on the first visit but I didn't think of it much. It just became very clear on my second visit and my friend's third visit. I had to wait the bartender for 20 minutes to get back to me and there were few other customers who went before me even though the bartender saw that I needed to order and we locked our eyes. They didn't accept 100 dollar bills (I only had cash) so my friend had to pay for me with the money I zelled her instead. She didnt want to use my money without me knowing so she didn't tip him at the moment. Then when other customer came to buy a drink and gave him customized tip of $2 other customers called him out that was brutal as a jokingly way. The bartender joined the convo agreeing and called out my friend to everyone that she does not tip AT ALL with intention of embarrassing her. What a disgusting behavior. Mind you the two other visits she went she always tipped and this was the first time she couldn't because it wasn't her money in control. I also tried tipping the bartender in cash but they didn't want to accept it giving an attitude. Honestly worse service ever, with mid vibes and mid drink. Would never visit here again and would not recommend it to anyone who are looking for fun night out. read more

Decent experience. Went for Sunday brunch-- 2 for 1 cocktails is awesome. Food menu is pretty small, though... very few lunch options, mostly breakfast food. What we did get was good, nothing special. Hit the mark. Not super inclined to go back. It felt very dark and loud for brunch-- probably a better vibe for dinner or to start off a night out. They also sat all of the tables near one another so it felt unnecessarily cramped and noisy. Wouldn't NOT recommend it... just not what I typically go for if I'm brunching. And slightly hungover. read more

Don't go here I got pick pocketed last night all of the bartenders and bouncers were super and very unhelpful and wouldn't even give me the time of day. I asked multiple bartenders if anyone gave them a phone behind the bar and they didn't even bother to look and dismissed me. Weird crowd and even if I didn't get my phone stolen I still wouldn't go here read more

Their prices are reasonable, staff isnfriendly and their steak sandwich is absolutely fantastic.

My close friends had planned an amazing birthday day out for me, and our NYC fun day started from this bar at 11 in the morning. I think this was the only bar they managed to find, which opens at 11! We were glad to walk into a rather empty, but extremely well decorated holiday setup and Owen, the friendly and amazing bar tender was the one who ensure our 2 hour stay was very pleasant! We ordered Bomb IPA which was an amazing Hazy IPA on draught to try. Highly recommend this, if you are a Hazy IPA fan. For cocktails, we stuck to their very popular Margarita Picante ($11) - has an amazing spice kick to it, and not at all sweet. We also tried their Paloma ($15) which was ok, but not as good when compared to the Margarita. Service, set-up, and everything else was spot on. Will definitely visit again for brunch some day! read more

I came here for Saturday brunch. The patronage wasn't very diverse and most folks were in their 20s and 30s. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a covered patio. It was rainy and windy when I visited, but the covered patio was still tolerable and totally dry. Inside, they have bar seating and tables. Most of the tables seemed to have bar stool seats with no backs, so not the most comfortable. It was also super loud. They have a fun playlist with contemporary pop and r&b music, but it was definitely tough to carry a conversation without raising your voice. Service was initially quite slow. It seemed like they forgot about our table for bit and when a waitress finally came over, she was surprised that we hadn't ordered yet. They have an amazing 2 for 1 deal on brunch cocktails. Their cocktails are already a fantastic deal at $11 each so two for the price of one is unheard of. I had the picante margarita and it was delicious! On the sweeter side, but had a perfect spicy kick. The salted rim was subtly flavored as well. To eat, I ordered the breakfast bowl. I am vegetarian and the menu mentioned that it included bacon, so I asked for that on the side, which they accommodated. However, the dish also came with a bacon jam that was not mentioned in the ingredients on the menu. At first, I thought it was just marinated peppers and onions but thankfully I double checked with the waitress before eating it. They were able to swap out the dish for me quite quickly, but beware when ordering if you don't eat bacon. After I got a fresh plate without the meat, I enjoyed it. The eggs were perfectly scrambled and topped with parmesan cheese. The potatoes were well seasoned and the avocado was fresh. It was very filling. My partner got the parmesan scrambled eggs and enjoyed it as well. Overall, despite the minor mishaps, it was a satisfying meal. It's worth a visit for the cocktail deal alone. Four drinks for $22 is unbeatable! read more

Grabbed brunch here a few weeks ago with a friend at 12:30 on a Saturday. We didn't make reservations in advance but we're able to be seated right away when we arrived. The restaurant was mostly full inside with outside seating about 50% full. We chose a small table for two outside since there were several larger parties inside and on the louder side indoors. Aside from being a bar, it definitely gave off the vibe of being a place for twenty-somethings to do brunch after a night out. Food offerings were pretty standard for brunch and decently executed. We ordered the jackdaw pancakes $16 served with whipped cream, maple syrup and butter, and the jackdaw omelette $16 which included tomato's, mushrooms, caramelized onion, toast, a side salad and a side of home fries. Based on food alone I'd come back, and the staff seemed friendly also. Normally I'd give this spot a 4 but one point about the service was a little off--in transporting some used dishes from outside seating back inside, a glass fell and shattered on the ground. The first pass of sweeping up the ground left multiple sizable pieces of glass in areas next to tables that staff and patrons might step on. No one seemed to notice this until I mentioned this to one of the servers then they did a second sweep. Would hope that they are more attentive to things like this for the safety of their staff and customers. read more

It was move out day at NYU. The place was packed and VERY NOISY!!! Our waitress was professional and nice. We ordered brunch. I got the fancy avocado toast with edamame, grated carrot, and a poached egg. Wonderful! Delicious and healthy. My companion got the breakfast bowl, which he said was excellent. We got 2 for one drinks. I got the frozen margarita, and he got the Bloody Mary. A delicious brunch, and a good time was had by all. read more

I visited Jackdaw for a boozy brunch recently and had a great experience! I got the jackdaw omelette and my friend got the jackdaw pancakes. Both were incredible. For drinks we got the cold brew martini (10/10), froze (6/ 7/10), margarita picante (10/10), and the frozen margarita (6/10). If you like coffee then the cold brew martini could be your drink. I personally like well made spicy drinks so I loved the margarita picante. The staff were very responsive and helpful, they easily helped us switch tables from outside to inside without any issues. The boozy brunch vibes were on point inside read more

Ambiance (2/5): On a Friday night, we secured reservations at 7:30pm on the same day. We were seated immediately and right next to the hostess. There were supplies nested between the hostess table and our table that we had to jump over in order to reach the benches. Firstly, the place was extremely dark and so loud that you could hardly hear your table across the table. I wanted to eat quickly so I could get out of there. Cocktails (5/5): Their cocktails were very reasonably priced (~$15) and delicious! I tried their Lychee Martini and Fall Mule. Steak Sandwich (2/5): The steak bites were lightly seasoned but most of the pieces were too tough to enjoy. I liked the flavors of the sautéed mushrooms and onions. I appreciated that the bread could handle the weight of the steak. Jackdaw Smashburger (4/5): I really liked the taste of the burger patty but nothing really stood out with the rest of the burger (e.g. standard bun/house sauce) Cajun fries (5/5): I asked for the fries to be cooked well-done and they delivered! They were super crispy and flavored. Honestly could have had this as just my meal. read more

A cozy intimate vibe. Came with a group of friends for happy hour on a weeknight. Cocktails were pretty and they had bar light bites. Not too loud so you can have conversations.

Bartender was amazing! No more bottomless brunch, but they do have two beverages for $10 during brunch. I highly recommend the margaritas No more hummus bowl but the salad with burrata and prosciutto was outstanding! Bacon egg and cheese with avocado was soo tasty! I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwhich which was good, but definitely not as good as the BEC and the salad. read more

Solid option for food and drinks in the East Village! Food: I got the double smash burger with Cajun fries and was definitely full / satisfied. Vibe: I went for dinner with a group of friends on Saturday night, and it was definitely turning into more of a bar with loud music and a younger crowd by the time we finished eating. Service: Friendly and happy to answer our questions about the menu. Jackdaw will definitely be a dinner option for us next time we're in the neighborhood. read more

Jackdaw had been on my brunch wishlist for a while now, and I finally got to try it! My friend and I arrived around 1:30 on a Sunday and expected a wait, but we were seated right away. Both outdoor and indoor seating was available, but we decided to sit inside. We had two servers for some reason, and both were sweet and attentive. The biggest disappointment here is that they no longer offer bottomless brunch - I really hope they bring it back! However, they do offer carafes of various cocktails for $24.50, which is actually reasonable. We decided to get a carafe of the W.B. Spritz, which was fantastic. It was like a fruitier version of your classic Aperol Spritz with a hint of grapefruit. The menu says that the carafes serve 5 people, but I think that's a bit of a stretch - we split one easily between the two of us. For food, I got the Breakfast Flatbread and my friend ordered the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. Both were delicious (and only $17). The Breakfast Flatbread was massive (I wasn't able to finish it) and messy to eat (the arugula and eggs fall off), but the spices were tasty and the scrambled eggs were very soft. Overall, a reasonably priced and enjoyable brunch but again, I hope they bring back bottomless. Would return! read more

If you're 21, don't care for an overall good dining experience and only want the "bottomless" booze. This place is for you. I'm going to say the cocktails that are included in the boozy brunch are actually good. When we went they had a special for cocktails that were included, so we got frozen blood Orange Margaritas and mimosa's. If you go when they have the blood orange drink, I would go with that, very balanced and very tasted! For food, I wanted the brunch salad, it sounded amazing. Burrata, prosciutto and a lemon truffle vinaigrette? Sounds amazing! Only problem is that I'm allergic to Strawberries, which I asked the waitress about. She said there was no strawberries on the salad, it lists "berries", but just to be sure I asked for no berries at all. Turns out she didn't write that down and out comes my salad covered in Strawberries. When I point it out to my waitress she seemed to feel bad, and took it back to fix. It took 20+ mins for me to get a new salad. A NEW SALAD. My friends were done with their food by the time I finally got my meal. Even better, half way through I found a berry under some lettuce so I'm think they just pick them off. Had to use my allergy medication just in case. So fun times for me. Wouldn't come back, and wouldn't suggest this place for anyone who might have an allergy that might just be ignored. read more

Super cute place for brunch with friends. Very affordable and good quality food. We got the pancakes and French toast and everything came out exactly as we ordered. Brunch carafes were delicious - highly recommend getting the brunch punch. Only criticism was that there wasn't any AC in the spot we were sitting in which made it slightly more uncomfortable but I wouldn't deduct any stars for that. read more

Was looking for a solid happy hour near Union Square to meet up with a friend last weekend. Jackdaw kept popping up. Was initially intending to meet another friend possibly here for drinks and dinner earlier in the week but they cancelled for fear of covid. Anyway, they do have an outdoor dining area that's completely enclosed with a sliding door and heaters in case anyone is wondering. But it's sealed shut with no ventilation so you may as well be dining indoors with that concept. The ambiance is really nice though and when looking for specifically cheap deals near Union Square you wouldn't expect such a fancy establishment. Happy Hour deal that runs from 12pm-8pm: What initially suckered me in were the $8 old fashioneds. Um, yes please. It's strong. It's boozy. It's well made. They're not getting pussy with this drink. No cherry here. Made correctly. Founders all day IPA and Pacifico - $5. Mind you these are canned beers. Rose - $10, a Malbec - $8, Pinot Grigio - $8, Rose Sangria - $10, and a Margarita Picante - $8. Not sure if this gets switched up during the seasons but for being fancy beverages in a really nice bar it's a great deal. Weekly specials as well with $2 tacos on Mondays. Didn't try their food is the one hiccup in that it's a bit pricey. Not horrible but not enough that I felt like spending $13-15 on an appetizer. Maybe splitting a flatbread or nachos wouldn't have been a terrible idea. Would I come back? Absolutely. The bartenders were very well attentive. I got served in literally 5 seconds of sitting down which is a rarity these days. I'm a new fan and will remember this spot. read more

Amazing atmosphere, especially during christmas time. Highly recommend getting a reservation. We walked up and were sat at the bar but it was too small for all the food we ordered.

Jackdaw - breakfast burrito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I visited Jackdaw on an early Saturday afternoon with my husband. We were met with a fairly busy outdoor seating area, and a busy indoor area, but were seated quickly inside. The atmosphere was somewhat loud, but in a good way. Most of the patrons were a younger, brunchy crowd, which we fit right into, so we loved the hum of everything going on. They had a great variety of music, and I loved seeing the action of the bartenders behind the bar. The seating was a bit awkward; were seated on high stools with a small wobbly table, so it was uncomfortable for me. But their were booths for larger parties that looked more comfortable. The best part about Jackdaw was the food! I'm a sweet breakfast kind of girl, so I ordered the French toast and a side of eggs and bacon. The French toast had a hit of citrus, and since visiting, I have raved about how it is the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which came with home fries and he said that the sandwich was perfectly moist all the way through. The home fries (which I tasted of course) were wonderfully flavored. Our server was busy but was kind and met all of our needs. I would for sure recommend this spot for brunch and will definitely be going back here to eat again. read more

Nice enough! The food was good (went for Brunch). Super busy, lots of college students type of atmosphere. A little too much for me, but that's just me, I'm way past college age.

Food and drinks (we ordered mocktails) are a 5/5 stars. Service was 3/5 stars. Waiter barely acknowledged me and sometimes didn't acknowledge me at all. He would mostly check in with my friend and ask her for updates on her food, etc. It was so cold outside, but they kept the door open throughout our whole dining experience. (We almost felt like we wanted to keep our jackets on at that point. I covered my lower half as well as arms under my jacket because it was cold). Lastly, at certain points (after we got our food) we saw the waiter blowing his nose/fiddling with his nose at random times while he was behind the bar. But did not wash his hands after. Soooo that was a bit concerning. read more
