The Deep End is one of those spots that instantly feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Ridgewood. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. From the creative vibes to the eclectic menu, this place stands out. First off, the decor is a blend of industrial and artistic. Think neon signs, mismatched furniture, and a cozy yet edgy atmosphere that makes you want to linger. It's the perfect backdrop for catching up with friends or even a laid-back solo meal. Now, let's talk food. The menu is diverse, offering everything from loaded tacos to comfort food classics with a twist. I tried the loaded tacos and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion! The really took it to the next level. Portions are generous, and the quality is top-notch. They also have great vegetarian and vegan options, so there's something for everyone. The service was awesome too I give them 5 stars ! read more

The food at this place used to be good but it has been so bad unfortunately. Ordered fries and chicken tenders on a Friday night with my beer, which are the most basic, and the fries were sooo stale and inedible and the tenders were so bad too I couldn't even finish one. They also have a B grade !! which is not cute at all. The new giant bench thing inside is pretty random, uncomfortable and weird. RIP old Deep End read more

I think this is a pretty good spot. On at least two or more occasions, I did come here for the Tippler program (way back and got the spicy margarita). That drink was actually impressive, you would think spicy margarita is just a basic b drink but this one I was totally a fan of. The drink alone, Spicy Margarita would get a 4.7 out of 5. I actually need to go back and try it again. The food was not bad, just order wings and onion rings. Would come back to check this place again in the Ridgewood area. read more

I ordered delivery from here. The onion rings were amazing. Super buttery and crispy, they were served with a tangy mayo that I really enjoyed. The jalapeño poppers were also pretty good. They were stuffed with cream cheese and served with ranch. The vegan impossible smash burger was huge; I struggled to finish it. It was well prepared. I added a fried egg as well. I would've preferred a few more options for toppings. The accompanying fries were notably well seasoned. They could've been a little crispier, but that was probably due to arriving via delivery. read more

Came here as part of the Tippler and I had a great time! This place is a little hard to find but has a very fun dive bar vibe. Absolutely love it! I ended up getting a spicy margarita, which had a lot of kick to it definitely a great drink for the summer. They also do a bunch of game nights as well during the week and are conveniently located next to the Mirage. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Food: ordered a couple well drinks and ordered some tenders and fries. the drinks were quite strong! food was prepared quick and they were large portions. we weren't able to finish everything so would have to say worth the price. Service: bartender was very friendly and attentive. it was early Friday night and we had stopped by before a show at h0l0 so it was pretty quiet. Ambiance: decorations were pretty unique and had a lot of interesting artwork on the walls. the bartender told us that they host game nights and drag shows, which both sound super fun. played good music as well. pretty dark in there. read more

Catering, wow! We got a spread of tacos carnitas, veggie, and chicken from The Deep End for a 30-person picnic in the park, and what amazing compliments we got! I'm Mexican, so have very high standards for tacos in NYC. As a Mexican-owned restaurant, they definitely delivered! They even brought their own hot pan to help warm the tortillas. These were certainly a hit! Added a photo from one of their karaoke Sundays for fun. Also a blast and v warm, community and LGBTQ+ friendly feel. Highly recommend! read more

Had no idea what to expect when we wandered in here, but it was delightful. We ended up here on karaoke night and while we didn't sing, we had definitely had fun listening to everyone else. This is a pretty basic neighborhood bar, but the food was surprisingly good. My husband and I got a selection of deep fried bar bites and they were all good. We tried the Onion Rings, Chicken Fingers, and Jalapeño Poppers and enjoyed all of it. This is a small bar, and apparently pretty popular, so you may have to wait a few, but it's worth it and definitely a fun night out. read more

There are so many places to go to in this area. However, the Deep End is in a class by itself. Where to start, They had the coolest door guy, which many places don't and is a bummer from the start. The place is spacious and has great vibes. The manager was awesome and was just so cool to okay the carpet performance It was an awesome time. The bartenders were just as great. Anyone can seriously have a great time here. I've been to so many venues, but The Deep End will always be one of my favorites. read more

Came here during the Autumn Tippler event to try their signature cocktail, The Bad Hombre. My first time ever trying a jalapeño infused cocktail and it was delicious!!! I also ended up ordering the fried pickles to go along with my alcoholic beverage. The pickles were crunchy and juicy ( perfection). I stayed long enough to finish my drink and to order a burger to go. Only outdoor seating was available and the weather was chilly ( not quite enjoyable for me.... after all I'm a summer baby). While I waited for the burger to cook. I decided to redeem the check in offer of a free shot to warm myself up. Definitely was needed. Overall my short stay was good I believe I would have stayed longer if the weather had been nicer. Would recommend if the cool weather does not faze you. read more

Bruh. So boom. I record a podcast with my homegirls every Wednesday night from 10 pm- 11:30 and afterward we head over to the deep end for them 50 cent wings. I'm black black and I'm very particular about my wings... these are literally the top wings in all of NYC!! Also, Wednesday nights are Karaoke nights!!! The DJ is always super lit AND the singers are sometimes REALLY good. Last night was a blast. Can't wait to be back in a week. The best wings to order: BBQ Honey Mustard Also the chubacara burger that I brought home to my boyfriend was SLAMMING!! Also, they put CBD oil in any drink that you would like, making you feel like you could hug the entire world at once lmao. If you're looking for great prices, delicious food, and a good time- go to the deep end! I hope ya'll Can swim read more

Great bar food. No frills room, but the wings, the fried pickles, the burgers.....all of the food is great. Service is great. Drinks are solid. Visit, but not if you're expecting white cloth. read more

I ordered from delivery on Seamless so this review is reflective of that. I ordered 2 beer battered fish tacos and a side of chips and guac. Fish Tacos came with the box dented. Once taco was hanging out of the box the other one was completely flipped upside down with its contents spilled out (see pic). The tacos tasted pretty good. Comparable to Tacombi which you have to go into the city for. My only complaint was there was more batter than fish in the taco which after the way it was delivered further ruined the experience for me. Chips and guac was good. Guac is nothing super amazing on its own but it is tasty (I added cayenne and some more salt and it was poppin) and they give you a ton of chips that are fresh so definitely worth the value and I can appreciate that aspect. Overall I'm not sure I would order delivery again from here even though the food is tasty. Tacos were salvagable but I would hate to see what a burger would look like. read more

The Deep End - My beer battered fish tacos. One completely upside down and the other hanging out of the box. - Bars Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Reliable neighborhood spot with a funky, eclectic atmosphere. The murals that line the walls are fun to look at while you wait for your drink from the bar. Literally anything from the menu is incredible. Also, fun fact, the team gave away free meals to neighbors in need weekly during the height of the pandemic. If you haven't yet, definitely check them out! read more

We came in early so there weren't many people here but I liked the dark vibe of this bar, which includes creepy decor and old toys. I tried the Bad Hombre cocktail, which had a nice kick to it from the jalapeño infusion. Fun place! read more

To the best bartender, Ariana! Awesome drinks and definitely good veggie burger with curly fries, cant wait to try this place again! Stop by and follow them @deependnyc on instagram to see their drag queen shows and other events! read more

Great laid back hole in the wall spot, one of the queer bushwick scenes best kept secrets. Great food and strong drinks and a fun spot with music and interesting decor. Prices are kinda typical for the area, portions are generous. Sunday night is karaoke which is a lot of fun and the crowd and bartenders are always friendly. read more

Had brunch here twice and it is the gangs new brunch spot ! Not a ton fo seating but they always have enough seats! Sometimes the seats come with pokemon friends to sit with you. Wel food and $30 for food and unlimited mimosas. The food is really really good. Burger comes with a sunny side up egg and thhe eggs benedict were delicious. The burger is also to die for, quality beef nestled on a soft brioche bun. Mimosas made with quality ingredients and the server there is the sweetest. Honestly she makes the whole experience the best. Always attentive and detailed. Allowing groups to have individual checks from the jump. She is accommodating and welcoming. The food is honestly the best for the price. Well worth the travel to come to the deep end. Also worth noting they host parties and events and dinner here as well. I have at 2am been to parties here but due to circumstances cannot review it for those purposes lol ! Also was told the fried goat cheese balls for diinner were great and need to make it back for dinner service. read more

Wow, The Deep End was really magnificent. Best service, clean, and beautiful atmosphere. Every thing in the menu looked amazing, but I had to go with Eggs Benedict, it was an excellent meal. Very friendly workers. The Deep End is truly a gem. read more

Eat Here Now! No, really, eat here. Blue cheese burger is amazing and the fried pickles keep me coming back. Outdoor seating makes things easy and the owners continue to feed people for free in Maria Hernandez Park during the Pandemic. Eating here means helping feed the hungry. Plus, damn good Margaritas. read more

Amazing. I've been here a ton for brunch and you have to get the chimichanga Benedict. It may not be on the menu anymore but the chef is amazing and accommodating. The mimosa pitchers are cheap and this may be the beat price to value brunch in NYC. read more

Good food and salads, with reasonable prices. Professional and nice delivery. Will order again.

First time here, I was not disappointed with ambience, service, quality of food or quality of menu. Will be back & I'm hopeful it wasn't a fluke first impression (: I got the veg burger w cheddar cheese! The buns they use are really fluffy and crunchy at the same time. Maybe brioche? And also the goat cheese balls.. (will be back especially for those) They came w a side of honey and gorrrllll its over read more

I came here for the first time my friend was DJing for St Patrick's Day. It had a great atmosphere and we all had a great time. I later came for Tacos and I was in heaven. The carnitas, peanut curry pulled pork and the Beer battered fish taco were all amazing!!! My favorite night to go there is Taco Tuesday, they have 2 tacos and a margarita for $10. I love this place and have been many times since. I really want to try the goat cheese balls one of these times. read more

This spot appears to be a hole in the wall. But when you walk in it's super cute. Very artsy. I walked passed it and if I didn't see the street sign i wouldn't have recognized it. The food was fresh and delicious. Unlimited mimosas. Small menu. I orders 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, and home made hash brown. My friend ordered the Avocado toast. Very fresh. Nice music playing. Next door to small spaces for different events which is nice. Our server was very friendly. Cute area, parking available. Went for Sunday brunch. read more

The Deep End - Uuuugh soooo good. Somebody cut me off! - Bars Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I had my 40th birthday there and everything was perfect! I booked the bar for my private party- it was the perfect size for it. I have no experience with throwing parties. Jon (the bar owner) was so accommodating. All correspondence was efficient and he always responded in a timely manner. His initial emails were full of information about the venue and options available. There is nothing worse than pulling teeth for details. I was allowed to add my own themed decor for my party. The food I selected from their catering menu was delicious- all my attendees said so. Sound system is perfect. The bartenders that night were so pleasant and easygoing. read more

We hired Jon and the Deep End staff through our event production company, Medium Rare NYC, for the planning of an extraordinary Wedding that took place on 4/14/18 at the Bronx Post Office. We cannot say enough kind words about the quality of their work, and the professionalism and dedication to their craft and our event. We had only 3 months to put together a wedding for 275 people and they took on the challenge and exceeded our wildest expectations. The bar ran exceptionally well and their incredible team couldn't have been more on point from start to finish. We highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them in the future. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I'm currently writing this review in between vomiting that's how bad it was. I ordered Southern Comfort Sandwich and slice of cake. I have no idea how the cake tasted, I gave it to my roommate. I never got a chance to make it. The chicken breast was dark. It looked burnt, when I bit into it I could tell that they cooked it with the heat too high. The actual meat was dried out. Between that and the breading. It tasted like actual dog food. It had like a pound of pickles wrapped in in a blanket of mayo. Just gross. After two bites (I took all the pickles off and gave it one last shot) I tossed the food out. Fast forward to 4 am I wake up with the worst pain ever. By 4:30 I started throwing up and currently (it's 5:26) I haven't stopped yet. I'm going to the hospital. That's how bad this food made me feel. read more

Their wings are amazing! So are their fried pickles. I love coming here for Drag Race nights! A local favorite.

I love this place!! Great food, solid beer and cocktail lineup, friendly staff, fun ambience, awesome location. I've had a bunch of different meals there and it was all delicious - burgers, tacos, snacks. Karaoke is really fun there too! read more

The QTRG thanks The Deep End for all the delicious food they donated, during these past few months. While working long hours, transporting patients with suspected coronavirus, it meant the world to us to take a break and enjoy a yummy and hearty burrito!! Our only regret is that your restaurant isn't across the street from our station. But if we are ever in the area, we will be stopping by!! read more

They were the featured (and only) food vendor at an event I was at. Luckily, I love tacos. Went with the chicken and carnitas. Both were good, but nothing really memorable. The chicken was the better of the two, and their creamy hot sauce was a real highlight. read more

Don't order take out. They'll take your money and never show up even though they're open until 4am. If they can't make a delivery, or the kitchen closes at a certain time- they should not be available on yelp in the wee hours of the morning AND CHARGE YOU FOR AN ORDER THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER. Seems simple. I'd like my money back, but of course Yelp has no order history, and this establishment doesn't open until 6pm. read more

You wouldn't expect it when you go in there, but the food here is great

A fantastic spot for a party. The lights. The music. And best of all the server. I lost my dance shoes and when I called there staff was kind enough to look for it and call me back later with a confirmation. You don't usually see that in most dining establishment. I'll definitely have my party here next time. read more

Best food in the neighborhood and fun parties. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is a whole different story.

Came for the halloween haunted asylum. Shittiest experience ever. Paid $30 for a vip ticket cause there was no regular admission left. But when i showed up no line at the door, regular treatment, but one free drink at the end; the haunted house lasted for maybe a total of 5 minutes;very short and very overrated, wouldnnever come back. read more

This place has the best tacos I have ever tried! My favorite flavors are meat and chorizo con papa.
