    Chicken tacos
    Donna U.

    Loved that they had happy hour at all the tables, not just the bar. Got the happy hour chicken tacos and Buffalo cauliflower. They were both tasty, but I actually ordered the cauliflower with the sweet chili. Was a little disappointed, but the flavor was pretty good.

    Martinis

    Never knew the dickens had so many rooms! Went for their martini bar and bottomless fries, this martini lounge is a little tight for big groups but I would still go back to enjoy their other martinis. Great music and nice staff! I made a little spill and they were super attentive and cleaned up the floor really fast.

    Dickens salad and rose prosecco

    Honestly this salad was great. So great that the girl sitting next to me tapped my shoulder to ask what I ordered. While the ritz flavor didn't come through, the other flavors combine and compliment each other so well. I added chicken which was thin and juicy. Plus HH till 7! Can't be beat!

    Yummy food and open late! We had a reservation for 10:15pm and sat in the dining area. I had booked this place because I heard they offer unique martinis and when you order a martini you get bottomless fries. However, that's only on the second floor. I didn't see anything when booking at the time of reservation that indicated there was a difference so we unfortunately didn't get to experience that. But the martinis we did have and small plates were delicious. Loved the vibe of the place. A queer bar hit the music was fantastic and our server was the best! It's right in Hells Kitchen near Times Square and open very late.

    The Dickens was such a fun find in Manhattan. The staff was amazing--super kind, welcoming, and genuinely funny, which made the whole experience even better. And honestly, who doesn't want fries with their martinis? The drinks were delicious and well made, and the vibe was impeccable. It's lively, fun, and has great music that really keeps the energy up. We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back every time we're in the city.

    This spot has 3 floors, including a martini bar and a rooftop. They have happy hour deals, drag bingo certain days and times too. I came for dinner and to try their four new fall cocktails listed below: Olive-R Twist Ginger Twinsies Thyme to Rum Scrooges Revival These 4 drinks screamed autumn and were all balanced, not too strong, and paired with the food. The Fajita Bites and Cauliflower Bites were addicting and the Big Dickens Burger was juicy and meaty. You can't go wrong with fries either! I can eat that tender Braised Beef Short Rib over and over again too. It fell apart nicely and paired great with the mashed potatoes. Service was amazing. The wait staff are all super kind and the place is very LGBTQ friendly!

    Had an exceptional time at The Dickens. Heard good things and was in close proximity. It was late so I only had beverages. Went with the margarita from the third floor bar. Very tasty and well balanced. Hung out on the second floor for a while before returning to the first floor for more. Vibes were great. Music was popping. The staff were very fun and you can tell people like working here. Can't wait to come back.

    Overall rating: 4.6 Came here on a date for drag bingo. The show is sooo good. Extremely entertaining and wow, I've never seen so many bridal showers and birthdays! It was pretty funny that I chose this as a first date & highly recommend. The food was alright, nothing special. But the drinks were flowwinggg in the best way. I definitely recommend coming with a group of people and enjoy the performance. BRING ONES. TIP, TIP, TIP. Do not come on an empty stomach. Would have rather just to order an appetizer, then drinks.

    This seems like a decent bar. We stopped here scouting for locations to meet a friend for conversation. Well, as a bar, there is going to be loud music so went elsewhere. But the music was a good mix. Kind of a dark and smoky ambience (even though there was no smoke). We did have one drink before leaving and bar service was fine. There is an upstairs with seating. We'd come back here for a drink or three.

    Laura G.

    Cute ambiance for the holidays and a fun bar playing early 2000s music. Server was kind and efficient. We didn't have food just a holiday apple cider mule that was yummy but they had a different food options.

    Coffee Martini

    Came with some friends for drag bingo brunch and it was epic! The 90-minutes of bottomless brunch was delicious, with a very fast and attentive staff. I got to try a bunch of drinks and I think the one with gelato floating in the middle (mimosa) was favorite. Jacklynn Hyde was a great hostess with a lot of comedy to mix in between bingo calls and songs. After brunch, the rooftop opens up for even more daytime drinking. Pancakes: Pretty much a dessert with all the sweetness. Fluffy pancakes with ice cream on top and some cookie wafers. Home Fries: This was my choice for a side. Lots of flavor in the spices and the veggies mixed in. But the texture was a bit mushy for home fries.

    Midnight to close happy hour. Can't beat a $12 espresso martini after a long day of work haha

    The Dickens "Martini Experience " on the second (of four) floor was a pleasure. The Porn Star Martini delighted, although it was a bit embarrassing ordering 'out loud.' Alternatively, patrons can choose to build their martini. Since each martini order comes with complimentary bottomless frites, I enjoyed my snack alongside my 2nd martini featuring Prosecco, vanilla and peach liquor. For $19.95, patrons can add dinner. Either a half roast chicken or sliced skirt steak. I'll be back!

    Four stars for rooftop ambience and friendliness of the staff and clientele. One star for the drinks, which hardly had any booze in them.

I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

    I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

Clean bathroom too. The bar/speakeasy was much bigger than the coffee shop it was located behind HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

    Come to Little Ned for fantastic cocktails in an intimate setting, you won't be disappointed…read more The space is gorgeous, with bar and table seating on the main floor, as well as some standing tables next to the bar if you can't find a seat right away. There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    Tusk Bar inside The Evelyn Hotel feels like stepping into a well-kept secret from another century…read more The space leans fully into that Prohibition-era Art Deco elegance, low lighting, polished brass, velvet everything. It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

It was a fun play with the green curry and saffron. This place is a little loud, so it is not easy to have a convo with your party. I am old so this probably wouldn't have been something I clocked in my younger years. They do have food which looks intriguing. Especially anything with truffles on it.
