First time at Pineapple Club! Trendy restaurant with brunch food. Food was high quality but nothing super memorable! The chips and guacamole were basic and not worth the price in my opinion. Calamari was perfectly crispy but also too salty. My favorite was probably the pork and hash dish. It was interesting since the pork and potatoes looked exactly the same so it was a surprise with every bite for what you're getting LOL. Service was a little slow and I was also surprised that they didn't provide a free dessert or a free drink for my friend. When I made a reservation, I noted that it was my friend's birthday. We ordered a lot of food and also drinks (forgot to take photos of the drinks) but no dessert was offered. When I've made reservations at other restaurants for a friend's birthday, they usually do something special, whether that's a small dessert on the house or a card. read more

Service was wonderful and friendly. The food was great and so were the drinks. We started with the oysters which were very fresh. Also got the calamari and bao which we enjoyed. The chicken bites were good and came with a sauce. The only thing that wasnt too good was the dessert. Drinks were delicious and everything came out decent timing. Would go back again especially for the oysters. read more

Came here for happy hour drinks! Good: - The cucumber drink was quite refreshing and everyone in our group liked it - Super beautiful seating area - Nice staff that gave us a really good spot - I also liked that they made us a hot toddy even though it wasn't on the menu! Bad: - Super expensive! We in our group of 4 each got 2-3 drinks and it was over $200 and I felt like it was more than I expected Overall this was a really nice place to get drinks and catchup read more

The Pineapple Club is such a great brunch spot with a fun, lively vibe. The decor and ambiance immediately stand out- stylish, vibrant, and perfect for a brunch date, girls' outing, or casual celebration. The brunch menu offers a great selection with plenty of options to choose from, and the drinks were just as impressive. The fried chicken and waffles were chef's kiss... crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Pairing it with the Frozen Banana Colada was absolutely sensational and took the whole experience to another level. The service was good and attentive throughout. I especially appreciated the authentic feedback from the staff when it came to drink recommendations--they were knowledgeable, honest, and helped guide us to great choices. Overall, great food, great drinks, two floors of beautiful ambiance, and solid service. The Pineapple Club is definitely a spot worth revisiting for brunch in NYC. read more

Cocktails are so good! Didn't try their food but their drinks are really quite tasty! Got the Beet one (love the Dwight reference), which was super unique and also beety but in the best way, and got the Lemongrass spritz which was very unique with a light flavor. Service is friendly and they checked in on us often. Vibes are top notch- very fun and lots of cute pineapple decor! Def fun for a night out or a daytime cocktail moment! read more

Great music, food, drinks, service, and ambience for brunch with friends. I recommend making a reservation since it gets busy very quickly. Although the music playlist is perfection, it is very loud and people are competing to be heard. It is not good if you want a relaxing brunch. Cocktails have a pineapple spin. The brunch menu has a little bit of something for everyone. read more

Brunch at the Pineapple Club was awesome! My wife and I met my daughter and had a great time at this club/restaurant in the East Village. It was a late Saturday morning and the place was just getting going, but the drinks, food, and service, were excellent! I started off with an espresso martini which was perfect! We shared an appetizer of Chicken Bites. The chicken served with a yogurt sauce was delicious. For entrees, I had the banana bread French toast and my wife and daughter had the avocado toast. We all loved our meals! My daughter said this is a very popular club at night. I could see that as it's a very cool setup inside. Another fun NYC spot! read more

A cute little place in east village. I came with a big party (recommend making a reservation) and we were escorted down to the downstairs area. Honestly, I didn't realize how big the restaurant was inside until I walked in. High ceilings and a nicely decorated liquor wall really added to the vibe. Some of my friends got the NYC Restaurant Week menu, which was a 3-course dinner including starter, entree, and dessert. I opted for the jerk chicken fried chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by how moist the chicken was. Drinks were awesome too - get the lychee martini. That was delicious. read more

I honestly don't know why this place is so popular. The food I had was No Bueno aka No Good. I should have known better than to order the Chicken and Waffle from here but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. What I got was a basic low effort thrown together dish. Personally, I think the chicken may have been some frozen Chicken bites ( no bone) that they warmed up and put beside the waffles to make my dish. I could have completely made this dish for myself at home. I should note, they were generous with the blueberries on the waffles. I also ordered a NA drink, the Ginger Lime Spritz which I did enjoy. Nowadays restaurants basically charge the same for NA drinks as alcoholic beverages which I think is annoying. But I did appreciate that they were able to split up the bill for each of us in the party no problem. Some establishments can make the bill splitting such a hassle. Finally, although the venue was cute and they had an area in the back with a glass ceiling that allowed the light in like if we were in greenhouse, I did not like the stains left on the seats. It was not a good look and think it's time for new upholstery. read more

It was okay. We came in for brunch with a last-minute reservation. Over all the food was fine, but I was pretty underwhelmed with the starters and mains. I must admit drinks were very good and Service was on point. I think this restaurant really shines in terms of its ambience, which is a super cool vibe and the drinks especially were very good. I would definitely come back for drinks and maybe an appetizer, but I don't know that I would come back for a sitdown meal. read more

Pineapple Club in NYC is a highly recommended spot for late-night drinks, boasting operating hours until 2 AM on weekends and a reputation for excellent signature and classic cocktails. The atmosphere and vibe is great. There are tables for large parties, the restaurant is sectioned off and doesn't feel like one big room, more like 4 rooms. The service is good and the people are nice. We went for drinks on Saturday late night , ordered Margarita, Paloma and espresso martini. The drinks were strong and delicious and atmosphere is chic and vibrant, definitely recommend this place. read more

Changed the menu a lot, mandatory high tip. Very bad pescetarian/ vegetarian options. Cocktails are ok.

Pineapple Club is a charming and intimate restaurant bar in the East Village. Their menu focuses on New American cuisine (with regional and international influences) and fruity cocktails. Judging by the name, I thought it was going to be a Caribbean vibe... but it's not lol- just a heads up! We popped in spontaneously on a Thursday evening. Since the weather was horrible and rainy, it wasn't busy and we were seated immediately. The interior is upscale, trendy, and spacious so it's a good spot for large groups, night outs, and dates. It's like a lounge atmosphere that caters more towards a younger crowd. We tried their menu for NYC Restaurant Week. It's a 3 course dinner (starter, entree, and dessert) for $45 per person (doesn't include taxes and gratuity). Our orders: *Striped Bass Ceviche- This was the star dish of the meal! It included passion fruit, jalapeño, red onion, and cucumber with yellow corn tortilla chips. It hit a ton of flavor palates- sour, citrusy, savory, spicy, sweet. *Plaintains and Guacamole- Now this was FRESH guac and you could tell right away. *PC Burger with side of french fries- This burger was more filling than I expected... I was STUFFED. It comes with 2 x 4 oz. patties, American cheese, pickles, and secret sauce on a potato roll. Beef patties were juicy and cooked just how I like it (medium). The fries were super crispy... yum. *Kiwi and Coconut Sorbet Sundae- Smooth, refreshing, and tarty! There were fresh pieces of coconut and kiwi pulp. *Key Lime Pie- This was actually more of a tart or a mini pie because of how small it was. But it tasted exactly like how it's supposed to be. I wish I could say good things about our drinks, but they were on the weaker side. We got a lychee martini ($17) and a pineapple old fashioned ($19). They tasted more like a fruit juice. They definitely needed more liquor. Service was excellent! They took care of us and were very attentive with refilling our waters, clearing dishes, and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Overall, this was a good find for restaurant week! However, I don't think I'd come back. I wasn't impressed with their drinks. The rest of their menu is mainly small bites and sandwiches at hefty prices. They only have 2 entree options, so it's very limited. And it's NYC, so of course everything is inflated. Just not sure the portions and quality are worth the value... $25+ for a sandwich?! I'm happy I tried, though! read more

Really friendly staff and fun brunch vibes! My friend and I came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. This place is cutely decorated and is definitely more of a get drunk at kind of place. We shared the XL mimosa which came in a really fun huge flamingo and is made with pineapple juice but was not strong at all. I ordered the pineapple Express with subbed out potatos instead of salad for no extra charge. It was good but not amazing but the potatoes seemed to be a decent crisp! I asked for my eggs over medium but they were definitely a little more cooked than that. My friends got the banana bread French toast and the pork belly hash. My friend really enjoyed the poached egg on the pork belly hash but we both agreed that both our meals needed way more seasoning. Overall a fun place I'd come back to for the vibe with decent enough food. read more

I enjoyed my meal here, but the setup of this place is quite confusing and cramped. My group of six ended up at a table which was half chairs and half couch. Those of us on the couch were sitting straight and uncomfortably for our whole meal, unsure of what to do with the pillows that were too big for the seats and too large to put behind our backs. It's clear that Pineapple Club specializes in drinks. The bowls we got were similar in taste to Chipotle, and the salad was well mixed but really minimal in terms of ingredients. The drinks were cute, albeit pricey. I'd probably only come back to do drinks with friends. read more

Food: 3.5/5 | Service: 3.5/5 | Experience: 4/5 This place is more definitely more accommodating towards large groups and / or just for drinks. It was quite dim inside but colorful. We ordered off of the restaurant week menu: chilled melon soup, plantain chips and guac, PC burger, poke bowl, key lime pie, and a kiwi and coconut sorbet. The soup was simply ok; it was a bit salty, very watermelon-y, and less refreshing than expected. The chips and guac were pretty good; there was a generous amount of guac, which paired well with the thin chips. The PC burger was a typical double cheeseburger and cooked well. The fries that came with it were fresh and hot. The poke bowl was not it; it was an odd combo of fruit, tuna, rice, and plantain chips, which are all good on its own, but did not meld in the bowl. The pie was very sweet, so we did not finish it. The sorbet had very strong flavors of kiwi and coconut, which did pair well together but if had individually, the coconut was a bit overwhelming for me. Overall, the food was merely ok for me. Drinks were also pricey for amount. Restaurant week menus are meant to be a good deal, but I did not think so and looking at the regular menu, the rest of the food did look pricey as well. read more

Absolutely Perfect! I have had approximately 50 Bloody Mary's and Brunches this year. This is by far the best "extra spicy" Bloody Mary in Manhattan, so far, and the very first time ever I did not have to add my own hot sauce/pepper. Brunch was delicious and generous. Service was timely and gracious. My new go to Brunch Spot! Thank you Emmett!! read more

Went for drinks & a quick bite on a Saturday night and was able to make a reservation a few hours before. Totally worth hitting up -- the chicken bites & Burrata were solid snacks and my friends liked their drinks a lot. The best part was our kind waiter who went out of his way to help us celebrate my birthday with a candle alongside a shot & some ice cream. We sat downstairs which was quiet and decorated very nicely. read more

Loved the unique and funky interior. It's very spacious and has a lot of seating. The only con was that the food wasn't worth the price. But I definitely enjoyed the drink options.

A little late to review but I came here during the Christmas/new year week mainly to try their holiday drinks. Beautifully adorned with pineapples, this place features a vibrant decor that radiates a cheerful and lively ambiance. Notably, we ordered the holly jolly highball, pumpkin spice, and nog your socks off. My drink was the holly jolly highball that came in a cute, little Christmas ornament. The drink was a fun, instagrammable pouring experience and it tasted delicious as the wine paired very well with the pomegranate juice. The pumpkin pie tasted exactly like pumpkin spice and it was deliciously sweet. Nog your socks off was also coconut, creamy sweet. These drinks did not have a strong alcohol taste and tasted very good. We also ordered some other small appetizers to pair with our drinks like the mushroom spring roll, coconut shrimp, and the chips and guac. Defs recommend the chips and guac if you need to snack on something while drinking. Although the coconut shrimp and spring roll (not a fan of the herbal dipping sauce) was good, I'm not so sure I would get these starters again because of its price vs quantity. Highly recommend to come here for drinks only and for its fun atmosphere! read more

Visited the Pineapple Club on a whim for Sunday brunch! I snagged a same day reservation on OpenTable. They have an option to add a bottomless rosé or frosé option for $35 per person at the time of this post! We were greeted and seated immediately! It's very cute inside yet intimate! Great for a 6-7 group setting. We sat in the booth. Isaiah was our primary server and he was great! We all opted for the bottomless rosé and it was delicious--honestly perfect because rosé is so hit or miss for me! I ordered avocado toast and a side of sausage. If you eat meat, specifically beef, ORDER THE SAUSAGE! They make their sausage in house and it is amazing! My avocado toast was good. My friend ordered the sweet potato hash and loved it. My other friend did the loco moco (?) but the gravy fell flat for her. All in all, enjoyed the experience and the service was great! read more

Good: happy hour drink and food nothing bad abt it. We came for happy hour at the bar, where they have $10 Dirty Martinis and Daiquiris--both strong and decent. I also ordered a burger and fries from the happy hour menu. Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I finished the burger before snapping a picture, but it was incredibly juicy and flavorful. We sat at the bar with friendly, charming bartenders. I didn't get around to exploring the rest of the bar or restaurant inside. read more

This place takes top place for the most expensive fountain drink I've ever had. Coming in at $6 for a Diet Coke. The chicken sandwich was nothing special, I did however enjoy the fries.

What I Ordered: - Ginger Lime Spritz: well balanced - Chips + Guac: decent, overpriced. - Salmon Sushi: crispy, decent - Crispy Chicken Bites: worth it, juicy - Fried Plantains: dry, no sauce, not worth - Seasoned Fries: flavorful, worth it - Spaghetti Limone (add chicken): plain, over priced, very lemony read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this visit left such a bad taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively) that I felt like I should. I just had one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had in my life at Pineapple Club. While me and my party were seated quickly, the service went downhill from there. It took about 10 minutes just to get a fountain drink, and my food didn't come out until over 30 minutes after everyone else's. The server did take it off the bill, but offered us all shots to make up for it which felt tone-deaf since none of us were drinking. My friends' food was cold, and when mine finally arrived, it was partially incorrect...points for consistency, I guess. Once my food arrived, the server seemed annoyed with us, didn't ask how anything was, and made the rest of the meal uncomfortable. After clearing our plates, it took another 10 minutes just to get the check, and he made a point to tell us that the 20% gratuity was already included since we were a party of six (maybe that explains the lack of effort). We were there for a total of two hours for what should've been a quick brunch. Definitely won't be coming back, and I'd recommend avoiding this spot altogether. Not sure how this place has such good reviews. read more

Had brunch with friends - good vibe, playlist, cocktails and food. The lychee martini was good - not too sweet. Not a huge menu but my favs were the chicken and biscuit, the mixed greens (still thinking about the lychees and macadamias with ginger dressing), & the plain fries are a must. Fried perfectly. The banana bread French toast was my least favorite...the outside was too fried and too thick. I like to share savory and sweet but the pineapple hash was sold out. My advice...pass on the banana bread French toast. Wish they had a pancake option. read more

The place was jam packed for Halloween festivities, but I couldn't see the appeal. The food menu was very limited. They had a potential Halloween/fall sounding drinks list, but don't come here for any foods. The waiter was very attentive for our huge party. The drinks tasted strong, but wasn't actually strong. My I'll Never Lychee Go ($15) had a cute name, with a pretty good lychee flavor, although the prominent alcohol is fighting for attention. There's apparently citrus in this, but I didn't taste any. I had to fill my stomach, so I reluctantly ordered a Fried Chicken Sandwich ($21). I don't know what "Secret Sauce" in their burger is, but let me tell you it is SWEET! It felt so odd, and the breaded chicken breast texture felt so lackluster. Their PC Burger ($21) is a way safer choice. Their fries were fine. This $$$ place is accurately labeled: an overpriced bar. The area in the back was cute for the fancy vibes, with the open window roofing, but I wouldn't come again. read more

Five stars based on ambiance and service. Food is more like four stars. The drinks are probably also four stars. Fun, tropical vibe, but I have had better. I had the New York strip, served with Togarashi potatoes (though I couldn't taste any spice). The flavors of the steak were good and the nori butter really added complexity. The outside was well charred. But I ordered medium and the steak was on the doorstep of well done. So it really affected how I felt about the meal. I also ordered the BBQ season fries. The fries are great--hot and crisp and thick. But I would order them plain next time. There was just too much seasoning for me. The servers were attentive and laid back and super welcoming. Not a single complaint about them. Again, the drinks--many pineapple or fruit based--were pretty good, but I've had better. They have oysters, burgers, tacos, a fried chicken sandwich, and more. All with some type of twist. I would definitely try this place again. read more

Yesterday was my third time at Pineapple Club and I've never had a bad drink here. My friend and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away at a high top table across from the bar. We didn't realize we would have a server, so we just went up to order our drinks from the bartender. We both got Espresso Martinis ($16 each), and I highly recommend you do the same. These are the best Espresso Martinis in the city, in my opinion - creamy but not too creamy, strong, and well balanced. Everyone I bring here absolutely loves them! The ambiance was relaxed but I've also seen this place get extremely crowded at night, even though there are two floors of seating. The decor is tropical and fun, with cool wallpaper and modern furniture. Will return! read more

Went with a party of 9 people for my birthday The interior is super cute and the presentation of the food was pretty. - Avocado Tempura ($18): Interesting concept, the avocado was very ripe and i liked the crispy and soft parts to this! (4/5) - Dozen Oysters ($36): $3 an oyster is pricey and the oysters weren't that spectacular. Some were pretty small as well (2/5) - Chicken & Waffles ($26): They gave 4/5 small pieces of chicken with a waffle that looked like it was premade (like eggo waffles). The blueberry jam was yummy tho (3/5) - Pork Belly Hash ($22): The egg was runny and pork belly were tasty. But the dish itself was lacking in flavor (3/5) - Yuzu Fried Chicken ($23): Out of the 3 dishes, this felt like the most worth. The sandwich was juicy and had a kick of spiciness to it. Definitely filling since I didn't finish my meal. The fries were yummy too (4/5) :: Overall, the food is pricey for how much food they offered. Also, I felt like the service was very slow and I noticed there was like only one person working all the tables. We sat down around 1:15 PM and somehow ended up leaving close to 4 PM because we were waiting for the food, then the cake, then the check. It also might have been that they had an automatic 20% gratuity on large parties for us to have super slow service. There was also a $3/person cake fee for cutting the cake. I don't know if I would be coming back again for brunch but the vibes of the place is pretty! read more

This review is based only on the drinks and vibes. Didn't get a chance to feast on their food, so will need to come back here for bites. We walked in midday and got seated instantly. Everywhere from the drinks to staff wearing pineapple shirts, the establishment plays right into the theme of its moniker. I got the Pineapple Old-fashioned and it delivered on the pineapple taste. If you're an old-fashioned enthusiast, this is a fun incarnation on the classic cocktail but if you're a purist, you might get disappointed because you don't get the whiskey taste or an impression of the bitters. The space inside is huge and all around swanky yet casual enough to be comfortable. Sometimes bars can play music so loud that you can't have a conversation with anyone, but over here, the volume was just right. They also had some chill jams. Great place to have a drink. I'll come back. read more

Awesome hidden gem in the East Village for sure. Came on a Sunday, note- only the upstairs is open on this day due to less foot traffic. Beautiful aesthetic, pineapple wallpaper of course. Had the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), delicious. It was about five large pieces of breast and drumsticks. Also got a side of Glazed Mushrooms, they were oyster and shitake mixed with a cilantro chutney garnish. My friend had the Fried Chicken Sandwich which he enjoyed, came with fries. We also shared the Avocado Fries, which came in a set of five. Rounded our meal out with the Banana Roll which was served with Coconut Ice Cream, yummy. Cocktails were stellar as well. Had the Pineapple Old Fashioned, made with Aged Rum which was a delightful twist. Had the Everything's Peachy, served up with Oat Milk- very well balanced. Ended with the Clarified Pumpkin Pie which was more citrus forward than expected, however dangerous because I could NOT taste the rum AT ALL. Our server Anna was super nice and very attentive. My friend had a Fight Milk at the bar with the bartender and raved about the drink and the service. Definitely check this place out - low key location, high key experience. read more

My pineapple old fashioned was not good. Watery, too sweet without discernable pineapple character, and with anonymous whisky notes. We came as a big late-night group. Fun decor, but with the vibe that they were trying hard to be chic. read more
