Oysters ($7 for 6 @ Happy Hour)
Gordon Y.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 7 This review is purely based on the Happy Hour, which is as follows below. Monday: All Day Tuesday to Friday: 4pm - 7pm Saturday & Sunday: 2pm - 5pm We came here specifically for the Happy Hour oysters, which are $7 for half a dozen. On the day we were there, they had oysters from Massachusetts, and they were quite good. Very fresh and cleanly shucked. Two of us had a dozen each. As for other Happy Hour items, the two Ricky's Sliders for $7 were just okay, while the two Fried Chicken Sliders were actually not bad. With that said, not sure I would get them when I could just order more of those awesome oysters. Lol Penicillin and Espresso Martini, each for $7 during Happy Hour, were both quite well made. I could see myself coming back again for some Happy Hour oysters and a few drinks.

Recently visited for happy hr. as me and my friends were bar crawling. They have select bites for discounted price. I was happy to see they had oysters but, they didn't have them available on this visit. Booooo. I didn't see anything else on the happy hr menu that piqued my interest. Although that was the end of my interest on bites, I took advantage of the happy hr cocktail menu. I went with the emotional orange. It reminded me of a jazzed up aperol spritz. It was tasty and boozy. The bartenders were pretty friendly and had many accouterments to craft beverages. The atmosphere was ok but, the music could've used a little help. I may give them another chance but, maybe I'd eye the regular menu on that visit.

happy hour!

came here for happy hour with friends and ended up staying way longer than planned because we were having such a good time truthfully. we shared the sliders, focaccia & hummus, and fries. we ended up trying a variety of cocktails & all the girls were sipppping! the bar has dim lighting BUT has holiday lights up everywhere & we appreciated that so much. it automatically enhances your mood. i will say, i usually don't like espresso martinis but this one surprised me. i loved it and even ordered a second. after 7pm, they begin $10 martinis. our server was also incredibly patient the whole time so shout out to her.

I really enjoyed randomly finding this spot. Their gold rush is delicious. Quick service. Cool bartenders. The music is great too. The music was the best as they play music ranging from r&b, rap, dembow, to throwbacks.

Cool happy hour place for everyone's new favorite drink, The espresso martini! However please be aware they are pre-made with an inexpensive vodka that might leave you with a hangover the next day. Good happy hour food options as well but my chicken sliders were def made with old chicken. The chicken was brown and hard. Fries were good and very cool aesthetically pleasing bar. I would try it again, in hopes to have better food. Bartender service was very good though.

Popped in here while it was raining to stay dry and we grabbed a seat at the bar and got drinks. They have an awesome happy hour that starts early (at least on Saturday's). I got a glass of wine and our bartender was really nice! Vibes were great and it was a good crowd for a Saturday afternoon! I would totally go back.

$7 for a happy hour espresso martini is iconic. Quality espresso martinis too, not one of these watered down, low effort, danced on canned espresso martinis... Sorry a lot of descriptors there but they came from my soul. A reasonable happy hour from 4-7pm too. $7 at 6:59pm, $17 at 7:01pm. It really grinds my gears when places advertise a happy hour but it's from 4-6 M-F only... like I can't even physically make that. I guess I gotta go harder for financial freedom... I sat here at the Pretty Ricky's bar with my big homie, surrounded by Halloween decorations, ripping a couple $7 espresso martinis while just sitting there talking about life. Pretty Ricky's is doing inflation how Ilia Topuria did Max Holloway last night. Damn that hurt to even type. Tough to watch your heroes get sent to the shadow realm, but a $7 espresso martini helps take the pain away. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

$7 drinks and a weekend happy hour, what more could you ask for? Was attracted to the retro signage and came in to wait for my pants to be hemmed at Orchard Express. The bar has a lot of space, with a big back room. There are many places where you can stand and put down your drink, so you can tell it gets busy in here. I saw about 20 or so taps, so I figure it's a beer bar but had a cocktail instead along with the sliders (get the chicken ones.)

Disco Shrimp: Resurrection and What Happened to the 9 Train
Rosalie C.

Came here with my finance for a quick drink and bite before a concert at Mercury Lounge last weekend. We ordered the Disco Shrimp: Resurrection and What Happened to the 9 Train to drink and shared fries, a kale salad and crispy chicken sandwich. I was super perplexed by the Disco Shrimp: Resurrection drink. The server described it as tasting like a chocolate covered strawberry margarita and she was spot on! This drink was so unique and very good. My finance also enjoyed his drink. The fries and sandwich were also good. I surprisingly enjoyed the kale salad more than I expected to. I mean it's a kale salad; what's so special? I find kale just ok and I would come back here just for this salad and disco shrimp cocktail alone. The service was great. We had two servers and they were both attentive and awesome. The windows and doors were open so it was a little hot but we're also in the middle of a heat wave so it is what it is. I'm not sure we'll be in the area again anytime soon but if we are I'll definitely stop by again. They have a few more unique cocktails that caught my eye.

Happy Hour - Espresso Martini: community vodka, mr black coffee liqueur, cold brew ($6) & Sauvignon Blanc: Gotham Projects, FR ($6)
Elena N.

Date: Friday, January 12th, 2024 Time: around 5pm Party of: 3 What: Happy Hour (Tues to Fri 4pm to 7pm, Sat & Sun 2pm to 5pm) *1/2 Dozen Oysters: Mignonette, Cocktail Sauce ($6) *French Fries ($6) *Espresso Martini: community vodka, mr black coffee liqueur, cold brew ($6) x2 *Bunny Bravo | Espresso & Tonic: ilegal mezcal, amontillado sherry, spiced pear, cold brew fever tree tonic ($6) *Sauvignon Blanc: Gotham Projects, FR ($6) x2 *Jameson ($16) When we first arrived, it wasn't super busy, so we managed to easily grab three seats at the bar. (All the booths were taken.) Towards the end of our time here, it got busier, so we came at a good time. Everything above is from their HH menu except for the Jameson. In a world where inflation is driving up everything, $6 per HH item is awesome! I got the espresso martini and sauvignon blanc. The espresso martini was good. Not too sweet. The sauvignon blanc paired well with the oysters. Tho I'm a fan of smaller oysters, so these were on the bigger side for me. The fries were fine. Some fried food is always a good snack when drinking. If ordering straight whisky / scotch, I would recommend going for the higher shelf stuff as it is reasonably priced. I can't remember what we asked about (maybe the oban 14?), but the price was the same as a pour of jameson. (We figured the jameson would be cheaper, but it was the same price.) Great HH spot. The bartender was nice and attentive without being overly so. Definitely worth checking out.

Happy hour fries, wine, air quotes, espresso martini

Chill vibes, fantastic fries, great happy hour until 7PM! I wasn't a fan of the gruner white wine but everything else was solid. Friendly service but had to flag her down after a while to try and pay!

Kaelyn C.

Miguel was the best bartender I've ever seen in my existence of living. He was so kind he was so nice and he made my drink so good. I don't know who the manager is of that establishment but he needs to give Miguel a raise. Also on top of that, the social media manager girl Keeley took photos of us and she ate that up real bad and she ate that me and my friends will definitely back to get more drinks and inside it looks a little bit frat ish because of the people who come in, but other than that, it's a great vibe 10 out of 10 I'm coming back

Alexa T.

I popped in here on a Sunday with some friends. The server recognized my friend because he's a a regular, so we were greeted warmly! I got a cider ($9) which I enjoyed. The bathroom is downstairs in the back and there are 4 single stalls. There also another bar area in the back.

Everyone seemed to enjoy them, suggesting one another to try this or that. The bartenders/ mixologists were on their A game. The drink menu is pretty extensive and from what I could see, our party choices ranged from wines to whisky's and several options between. The rooftop/patio was an extension of the comfortable but trendy decor. Great space for an evening, date or friend gathering. Dear Irving... well done. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Tell the bartender what flavors and spirits you're in the mood for, and let them work their magic. I gravitated toward whisky-based, chocolate, and fruit-forward cocktails, and every single one was phenomenal. My husband stuck to Old Fashioned- and Manhattan-style drinks, and those delivered too. The bartender absolutely nailed our preferences, crafting delicious cocktails tailored to our individual tastes. Getting in is part of the experience: knock on the door, and they'll let you know if there's a spot available or add you to the waitlist. We visited on a weeknight around 8:30 PM and waited barely five minutes. I'll be coming back every single time I'm in NYC. Exceptional bartending, personalized cocktails, and an experience that genuinely lives up to the hype. Do not miss Attaboy!

As we were walking out, the host/person checking IDs at the front was incredibly kind and asked us if it was just the two of us because there was space upstairs (we didn't know that was an option!) I am so thankful to them because we were able to enjoy some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The staff was incredible - they checked in with us throughout the evening, explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started with their old fashioned drinks (Lock and Key and the ash and molasses) - both were excellent. After that I tried the psycho killer (a whiskey drink with cacao nib campari, roasted banana and absinthe) - I have had absinthe in a Sazerac before, but this drink was unique and truly special. We couldn't help but get one more to share before leaving -- the Belfast Bred, a cold brew drink with a delicious cream on top. We didn't order food on this visit, but everything looked great. Highly recommend stopping here for some of the best cocktails you'll ever have.

Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only
