    I came here especially to try their spicy avocado margarita and pistachio mai tai - I was particularly drawn to these two drinks because not only do I love anything avocado and pistachios but how rare it is to see such combinations. We were here around 7:30 on a Saturday night and there were plenty of open spots inside. Our drinks came quickly and looked absolutely fab! However.... the avocado and pistachio flavors were missing from the respective drinks. I was super disappointed as they just tasted like any generic margarita and mai tai. Wouldn't necessarily come back here unless there are any other interesting cocktails on the menu.

    While waiting for our table at PDT, we decided to kill some time at Romeo's across the street. The bar is fun and cute, but pricey for what you get. I liked how the menu has photos and they even gave us complimentary popcorn once we sat down. To order drinks, you have to go to the bar though. I got the Pistachio Mai Tai ($20), Thin Mint Shot ($13), and a Guinness ($11). The drinks were all quite disappointing and overpriced. My Mai tai didn't really taste of any pistachio and it was overloaded with ice. The thin mint shot was just a minty shot with an Andes mint. They try to make the drinks fun with the add-ons, but it's just not really worth it. I wouldn't plan to drink much here, but it's a cool space.

    Hot dog, pizza bagel bites

    Romeo's is such a cute bar on St. Marks. We stopped in for drinks and snacks early so it's wasn't too busy. They have a few tables on the sidewalk which is great when it's nice outside. We tried the hotdog and pizza bagel bites with our cocktails. The hotdog was loaded with toppings and came with potato chips. The pizza bagel bites were topped with tomato sauce and lots of mozzarella. It was a full size bagel and delicious, but a bit pricey for only two pieces. The cocktails have hits and misses. The pistachio mai tai is my favorite so far. Definitely worth stopping in for drinks, especially for happy hour!

    Sexy, sensual, vibey, oh and a party! Honestly, an amazing spot for a group, a date, or a solo drinker. Romeo's is elevated enough to feel upscale, but playful enough to feel relaxed. It's a party, but they do not over do it, they have found a really nice sweet spot between the love, retro, and modern. Of course, it is a bar so the drinks need to be right. They are. The elote old fashioned is smooth and almost creamy. But, still plenty of bite--just as all old fashioneds should have. The bar tender was great. He was pretty busy running the bar solo but still did a good job of keeping me company and cutting it up with other guests. Romeo, romeo, how do i now live in stl without thou romeo?

    Such a cute spot! U can spot it from a block away. Luckily there was no line when I arrived because when I left, there was a line. I was able to walk in with no issues. Once inside the decor was so cute ! Unfortunately there was barely enough room to move around. They had great music but no space to stand where u are not in the server's way. It was a Saturday so it is expected for bars in this area to be packed. I'll stop by at an earlier time next time.

    Romeo's was ok, we headed there for the Christmas vibe and just in time for Happy Hour. The music was so loud, it was truly impossible to talk, the Happy Hour food was not great and the drinks were just ok. On the other hand, we sat in an excellent back section that was roomy and VERY festive!

    I came here today to check out their Christmas overlay! Romeo's turns into Gnomeo's for the holidays. My friend and I loved the decorations and holiday cocktails! There is bar seating and tables. Everything is first come, first serve and you order at the bar no matter where you sit. Everyone was so friendly! I had the festivus cranberry, which is a vodka based drink. It was amazing! It wasn't too sweet and the rosemary was a great touch. I would order this again for sure! We also split the french onion dip, which was a good snack and on happy hour. I definitely recommend this bar, especially if you are looking something that isn't touristy and full of holiday vibes!

    Lots of seating
    Lauren M.

    I went to Romeo's for the first time while they are running their holiday pop up Gnomeo's. I showed up as soon as they opened so I was the only one in there for a while. The bar is actually pretty large with a lot of seating. There's a big bathroom in the back too. There are multiple TVs playing a movie at any time. When I went there, they were playing The Breakfast Club. The holiday decor was very tasteful and not overkill. They were playing music but it was not holiday music. The playlist was killer though. They have a special holiday menu right now. I had the Festivus Cranberry and it was very good. I want to try the Pistachio Mai Tai next. They have some small plates but they were out of a few of them. I had the pizza bagel which is made on a legit bagel so it was good. They gave me complimentary elote popcorn which was SO GOOD. The staff was really cool and nice. I really liked the vibe in here and will definitely come back - even after the holiday pop up is over. Bonus, they have purse hooks at the bar. I love the attention to this detail. I think this bar is ADA accessible - there are no stairs required to enter, the front door is large and the bathroom is also large. There's plenty of seating too that can accommodate various accessibility needs. What a nice addition to the East Village

    Aperol Spritz

    A fun spot for a quick drink on St. Marks -- they have a great outdoor seating setup. It wasn't too hard to find a spot on a Friday evening, plus a decent amount of seating inside if you prefer. The staff is friendly and the cocktails are super unique -- the Avocado Marg was solid, plus they make a great Aperol Spritz!

    Romeo's is the absolute perfect East Village vibe for the beautiful weather! With outdoor seating and open windows, you get to experience the best of New York summer no matter where you're seated. Combine that with their incredible cocktail list and unbelievably friendly staff - and this is a must visit this summer! Absolutely do not skip their new "Weenie & Tini" combo where you get a delicious rotating hot dog and martini!! I had the basil martini and their tie die hot dog and they both hit the spot. You also must try their French Onion dip and pistachio mai tai to round out the experience! You'll definitely be seeing me back at this phenomenal East Village gem

    New spot in the neighborhood, actually really enjoyed stopping in here. They serve food at affordable prices, vibe is great, service is great. Also love that they play movies on one of the screens

    milk punch and pistachio mai tai
    Nicole N.

    Stumbled upon Romeo's when walking around East Village! People seemed like they were having a good time, so we wanted to check it out! The pistachio mai tai was very solid with a decent pistachio nutty taste! The spicy avocado marg was also pretty good! While the avocado flavors could have been stronger, it did give the drink a creaminess that complemented the tajin salt and spiciness. The milk punch unfortunately didn't really have a strong favor profile of anything. They gave us free popcorn, which was seasoned and not too oily! The place itself isn't too big but there are some high table tops, bar seating, and a small area in the back that can fit about 6 people. More seating options outside but weather dependent. Loved the pink neon lights that gave the dim setting a warm, trendy vibe! Can definitely see it becoming more popular soon!

    Coming back to rate this bar 5 stars a second time because it's just that good. My favorite bar in the city. Had some happy hour drinks + dino nuggets + charlie's angels. it simply cannot get better than that

After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

Walking through the cold streets, I stumbled upon The Spaniard which has quickly become one of my favorite NY destinations! We were there for a quick 30 hour trip to experience the "Holiday Magic". After a long day of travel, we just needed something good. We arrived and they accommodated us in a back booth tucked behind the bar, perfect! Our waiter was a delight and very responsive. The martini was kick-ass and our waiter was kind enough to offer us many recommendations. We landed on Charbroiled Oysters, Steak Tartare, and French Onion Dip. Someone slap me, I'm drooling while I write this review over a year later. Seriously, phenomenal. Every bite was amazing! We cleared the table and manged a few cocktails during our time with The Spaniard. If you are ever in the West Village, stop by, you won't be sorry! Thanks me later, actually!

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 were nice enough to combined the two bookings and give us one table when we checked in. I got the chinatown no 5. I was born in sf chinatown and my last name in chinese is the number 5, so I figured it was meant to be. Very cute presentation. The cocktail is in a bottle, so you end up with more than one pour. Nice since the rest of my party could try. I did have another cocktail afterwards, but I cannot remember what it was for the life of me. I enjoyed sipping on it tho. Our server was sooo sweet. Friendly, attentive, and informative. The cocktails here are definitely creative, so she was very helpful in guiding us towards what we may like and describing the different drinks.

Not surprising, then, that it was pretty packed by the time we finished dinner, at 10:30ish. Serptentine has a solid cocktail list, one that definitely reflects the West Village sensibility. The drinks are all clear variations of classics (ie., martini, negroni, espresso martini, margarita, old fashioned, etc.) but with some added intrigue. All well-executed and made efficiently, which is very impressive during weekend primetime. If you're not nearby I wouldn't make a trip to the area just for Serpentine, but it's a fantastic option if you live/work in the neighborhood and/or are getting a meal in the area and are looking for a bar to start or end at. As I mentioned, it was relatively busy when we arrived here. There weren't any open seats initially but the host said we could hang around the bar for a bit, as he expected a table to open soon. It was probably 10 minutes before we were sat which is basically like being sat immediately in New York time. And generally, the staff here were great -- very personable and accommodating, quick service, only praise in that area. The vibes here are cozy but lively, giving more of a friend hangout than a date (it's also relatively loud so not ideal for conversation if you're sitting across from someone at a table, versus standing and mingling or sitting on bar stools). If you're a dirty martini person you are in luck here, because the Serpentini (grey goose vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, pepperocini liqueur) is unlike any other. And I get dirty martinis pretty much everywhere I go, so that's saying something. Why is it so unique, you may ask? Well, the pepperocini liqueur is a nice touch and props to whoever decided it was necessary to make such a thing. But the real game changer is the sidecar. You may be thinking -- how is a sidecar unique? Well, it's not just any sidecar...it is not filled with more martini but simply PURE FILTHY BRINE. I mean, if you're ordering a dirty martini, you probably would take a bath in olive brine, brush your teeth with olive brine -- hell, maybe even your contact solution is just olive brine. Want to make your martini dirtier as you drink it? Serpentine has you covered. It is so simple and obvious yet I've never experienced it before. And, because I've never met someone who loves dirty martinis who doesn't also drool over blue cheese-stuff olives, the Serpentini's got that too. Though less exciting and groundbreaking, Mezcal Negroni (ilegal mezcal, campari, averna amaro, lo-fi gentian amaro) is also solid. I love a mezcal negroni and this one is relatively straightforward, just a subtle variation with a few different amaros to add some complexity and herbal notes. A fun and versatile neighborhood spot. It's in prime location so I imagine to rent is absurd, so fingers crossed that it sticks around!
