    Eggs Benedict
    Audrey B.

    Great brunch with reasonable prices in a very subway accessible spot. We got outdoor seating and service was quick. Amazing vibes - took a friend here to see her for the first time in 10 years! Was a hit. Outdoor patio area is vibey for the summer.

    Came here for brunch and the food was really good! I had the full breakfast which was packed with so much to eat! The eggs are just as gorgeous in person as they are on line. Only things I would have skipped out on are the peach and burrata toast as it didn't have much flavor/was hard to split between a group of three and the sausage. Had plenty of seating both inside and out!

    Came here for brunch. Loved the food. Reminded me a bit of Dudley's. Came back for dinner. Unfortunately the dinner menu fell through. Wasn't as good. But also the brunch food not sure if too much salt or something. Me and my friend were super thirsty after eating here

    If you don't read the news, you don't live in NYC, or you live in NYC with your head buried in the concrete, you may not be aware that everything has become unconscionably expensive lately. When it comes to eating and drinking out, there's not much we can do about it, except to find good happy hours. Sonnyboy has a great happy hour. We were wandering around on a sticky day, and saw people eating and drinking at tables in the middle of the street, and that was the energy we wanted. We were pleasantly surprised to find a menu with quality $12 cocktails (shoutout to the Watermalone, exactly the thing to imbibe when you're sweaty), and various delicious things for only $11 like a very solid burger (reminiscent of McDonald's in the best way), an even better fried chicken sandwich, and an absolutely gorgeous and incredible burrata peach toast. If peaches are in season, it's exactly what you need in your life. And they were. I already felt obscenely lucky to have an affordable and tasty meal (with cocktails) in the middle of a Manhattan street, but it was also the night before the Pride Parade, and let me tell you, the people watching was spectacular. I wish you all similar happiness in the near future.

    Nice brunch place. No frill but good food and drinks. The service was good but the staff looked a bit too busy. It is pretty small, I recommend to book a table to not wait too long

    This past Friday, I hosted a birthday dinner at Sonnyboy for a group of 12 and it ended up being the best place I could have chosen for a large party. I had emailed Jatin, the restaurant owner, in advance to organize the large party and he arranged 4 tables next to each other to accommodate the group. That was perfect because we were close enough to all talk, but not trapped at a long table without any ability to get out. Beyond the table, Jatin was incredibly responsive and helpful before the event and was so nice while we were there, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Plus he made this paan drink that was absolutely incredible. The service there was excellent in general and everyone was really sweet. As for the food, we ordered all of the small plates to share before people moved on to entrées, and there genuinely wasn't a miss. The Kung Pao cauliflower was my personal favorite. It was crispy, saucy, and that cravable sweet and sour flavor that you get from manchurian. Loved it. The tingly fried chicken lived up to its name: ultra-crispy, juicy, and layered with flavor from the Szechuan pepper, mustard green mayo, and lime that made it feel really bright. I also really loved the shrimp dish and the shishito peppers. I'm gluten free and felt very well taken care of. There were lots of options and the servers and kitchen were really clear with me in terms of cross contamination. Meanwhile, the rest of the group, who are very much not gluten free, could not stop talking about the burrata and fig toast, the marinara meatballs, and several other dishes they ordered. We all left full and happy. I would recommend this to anyone whether you're just getting some friends together or having a larger party. Already thinking about going back here next year. I added some photos, but we were having so much fun that these are a little blurry haha!

    Went with a group of friends for brunch and we throughly enjoyed the experience. We had a party of four with a reservation and had nice outdoor seating. The food was great although did not have as much selection of items as I would have liked. However there is still a ton! I got the pancakes and really enjoyed them. They had great flavor and were super fluffy. My friends got other dishes and we all shared a mixture of sweet and savory dishes. Everything I tried from the menu was great overall and would recommend to others.

    Salmon Egg Benedict with add on chicken + Iced matcha latte with oat milk
    Melody M.

    I am not sure about other food but the food I order is really salty (both the salmon and add on chicken). But the pouch eggs are good. The matcha latte is not that great. All I taste is the powder. As for the service, it is really hard for us to get the server's attention. But the location is so nice. The restaurant decoration is pretty and instagrnamly.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    April L.

    Came here for dinner on a Friday and was happily surprised to find out that they had happy hour available on a Friday! (Most places tend to have HH from M-T only) We got the fried chicken sandwich with fries and a Kale Caesar salad with crispy chicken added on. The salad was nice and big and I liked the added chicken as it was still juicy and tender despite being fried. The chicken sandwich was what you would expect, but not in a bad way, just a standard fried chicken sandwich. Weirdly the menu said fries were shoe string fries but they just seemed like normal fries. Service was quick and the atmosphere was nice with dim lighting at nighttime. I would come back for brunch as their menu seemed yummy for brunch.

    Shakshuka
    Asia T.

    Went here for brunch and was told there was a 30 minute wait. As it turns out, we only had to wait for 10. Outdoor seating is literally in the closed street, so we sat indoors at the bar. As stated on the menu, the Cucumber and Watermelon cocktails were very refreshing, but I can't remember the names at the moment. The food menu and restaurant itself is not the biggest, but it's fine because the food we got was on point. Beware: the lemon ricotta pancake is most definitely shareable between multiple people. The berry compote combined with the whipped cream was so good. Shakshuka was excellent (better than the one at Shuka) and the Beef Burger was also good. I think the fries may be seasoned with turmeric? Or annatto? Not sure but they will turn your fingers yellow.

    As an Aussie of course I had to go check this place out. But I was sad to find out the original owner had actually sold it to someone who is not Australian. Nevertheless, I was able to try the brunch at this quite small restaurant and it was delicious. There's also still a couple Australian items on the menu which is awesome to see (although there is a mistake printed on it. It's "parma" not "parmy" ) I ordered the harrissa egg fold which was phenomenal (but why does it cost extra to add toast?) and an espresso Martini that was probably the best I've had in NYC although that doesn't say much as I'm not from there and you can only order so many.

    Cappuccino
    Devon B.

    We had a great experience here. They were able to accommodate our large group by pushing some tables together. The service was quick and everyone we interacted with was so nice. Everyone's drinks were cute and delicious. The food was also great. I loved the gluten free ricotta pancake! Delicious! The gluten free banana bread also rocked!

    Pancakes
    Andrea S.

    I liked how fluffy the golden eggs were but the salad was plain as it did not come with dressing. We also had the pancakes which were very sweet. I made a reservation in advance which i recommend since the place is on the small side.

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.

Not too crowded, the wait for a pool table was about 30 minutes, enough for a quick round of shuffleboarding. The games are relatively cheap, and there's so much variety, ping pong and board games. The live jazz is really what sets this place apart from the other pool halls, starting around 7 pm with what seems like maybe the house band and I think they have guests later in the night. It's the perfect atmosphere, fun lighting, lots of grungy writing on the walls, good indie music from the 2010s before the jazz starts. Plus the spacing of the tables is good so you're not constantly bumping into other players, which is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure it's busier later in the night but it's perfect for an early stop in the evening. Cheap drinks and good deals as well!

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.

For a place that is popular enough to have reservations snapped up immediately, a strict cancellation fee (for an end-of-night reservation that wouldn't have been booked anyways) seems to be just an extra cash grab. It simply does not make sense to charge a sub-24 hour cancellation fee for a sub-24 hour booked res. Context -- I had seen that a couple of 10pm reservations had been available **for a few days**, so I booked one on the same day. When I went to cancel it, DoorDash showed "you may be charged a fee of 0.00" Sweet! Then, I see a $50 charge on my card and emailed the business. In fairness, the response was very professional, but I nonetheless disagree with the practice. I'll leave the response here so you can decide for yourself. -- We apologize for any confusion caused by the cancellation notification. At the time a reservation is cancelled, the system states, "Cancelling right now may trigger a cancellation fee of $0.00". We use the word may as cancellations are reviewed and applied at our discretion, particularly when a guest reaches out with enough notice for us to have an opportunity to rebook the table. In this case, the reservation was cancelled during our service period, and we were unable to rebook the table. As noted in the cancellation policy which is followed by the infromation prompt, cancellations made within this window are subject to our cancellation fee. We completely understand how seeing the initial $0.00 amount could have caused confusion, and we appreciate you reaching out to clarify. However, as the reservation was canceled within the cancellation window, the fee does apply and we are unable to reverse the charge. Thank you for your understanding. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Sip & Guzzle in the near future.
