Had a really good experience at bottomless. Very attentive and kind. Food is decent. Lots of options vs others that don't give options

We checked out this brunch spot and overall it was a pretty solid experience. The service was good, the vibes were nice, and the space felt really cozy. The décor was cute and welcoming -- definitely the kind of place you can relax and catch up with friends. The bottomless brunch was a highlight. Our server never disappointed and kept the mimosa towers coming as soon as we were running low, which we definitely appreciated. No empty glasses over here. For food, it was okay. I ordered the burger -- it tasted very similar to a smash burger, and the caramelized onions were a nice touch. Unfortunately, our food came out cold, which made it hard to fully enjoy it the way it should've been. Overall, it's a decent spot to hang out with friends and enjoy drinks. read more

Apparently the owners from this bar manipulate yelp to remove bad reviews .so I am gonna leave an other HONEST review The waitress was very rude and didn't want to leave the table. She wanted me to pay for bottomless brunch or if I don't - then non of my friends would or could keep having bottomless drinks. So it's either push my to pay for it or I punish my own friends First of all no one at the bars can't push customers to spend any money on drinks of the don't drink or don't want to drink. In my case I don't drink. Like at all. And so she wanted to put me in a position where I had to spend money on something I didn't want to spend money on even when I don't even drink. And she didn't want to even leave the table for us to discuss this I live in New York and go to many bars with my friends. I order food - they order drinks or I order non alcohol drinks I've been to bottomless brunches with my friends to many places and this is FIRST place where I was literally pushed to pay for bottomless drinks This is insane and I'm gonna keep leaving this review If it will be deleted again . This is insane And everyone should know how customers are treated at this bar read more

Grabbed a bite after a play on August 5th. The bartender was very attentive and sat us immediately. It was a bar food night of wings, fries, and flatbread. All three were meh. Gender neutral restrooms Small bar Popular read more

It was fine. On one hand, it's nice to find a sports bar that can also do some fancier drinks. It was a small place and just loud. When we went the music felt too loud and the sun hadn't even set. Granted, everyone else seemed to have fun - so maybe iam just not the demographic for this place. The server was very nice, tho. The website also doesn't quite match the menu onsite. read more

Our server Bella was incredible. Everyone in the entire restaurant was happy and she was the only server. It's very noticeable how great she is at her job. Knowing the menu and being really attentive and super nice to everyone! Props to the kitchen for getting the food out hot. It was all great! We got the flatbread, burger, kale salad, truffle fries, nachos, and Benedict. Restaurant was also very clean, smelled nice, and was warm on this super snowy day. read more

Friendly service and the drinks are good. It had a cozy atmosphere but was lively at the same time

Sun brunch. Nice spot. Comfortable space, size, layout, and chill. Service team was pro and helpful. Menu - food, drinks were great, love it when a spot has a short well done menus. Unfortunately they didn't have the Impossible burger available - it happens. Veggie flatbread and good pilsners hit the spot for me in any event. And for us xennials, try and guess what the spot used to be - you'll figure it out. read more

I was trying to get a late reservation into another restaurant nearby and they told me it was an hour wait. So I decided to see what was in the area. Around the corner was The Mayfly and it was relatively empty only with one party in there. My partner and I were seated immediately and was able to order as soon as we knew what we wanted. We tried their drinks as well as their food and it was very delicious. Although this wasn't our intended spot we were really able to enjoy our food and each other. Our waitress was attentive to us and very kind. I would definitely go back and would love to try their happy out and other dishes on the menu. read more

This review is solely for their Happy Hour. Finding a good happy hour deal in the city doesn't seem like a daunting task but sometimes it can be! Came here for an after work happy hour with some friends and their menu had me once I saw espresso martini. The inside is cozy and a little small and there are bar tables alll along the middle of the restaurant. Their drink specials included a few speciality cocktails for $10 and then well drinks and beers (the basics). Outside of that they also offered happy hour food specials that came with a HH cocktail for $16. (Such a steal bc it's not just the bar snacks, it's like a full meal). The food was nothing spectacular, in fact I wasn't a fan of the dry rubbed wings I got but because I was hungry I ate It anyway. We got wings, flatbread and tacos. Our waitress was super nice and attentive -- loved her! Overall, i'd def return and have already added this spot to my running list of HH spots to visit. read more

There are tons of great spots downtown, but I have never had such a fun brunch! The food is amazing, the drinks are crafty and delicious, and strong, I must go! I ordered the grilled cheese and the French toast, the grilled cheese was melted perfectly with bacon and tomato and a side of truffle fries, Yum! The French toast was seriously out of this world, light soft fluffy and delicious came with a side of preserves, whip cream and syrup so I tried all three! Then there was a drag bingo that was so much fun, I love the whole vibe. read more

The Mayfly is a great restaurant. The relaxed vibe of the restaurant is very comforting. The food is very good. I typically get the Kale salad, and it is incredible. Another great dish is the Cheese Fries. I ordered this as an appetizer, but it was so large it ended p being my meal! This is a great place. They even have trivia nights! read more

$10 espresso martinis?! Sign me up! My friend and I were walking around the village yesterday and saw their sign for $10 espresso martinis outside. It was a no brainer for us! We had to try one! The inside is small, but a cute vibe. We ordered at the bar, but were able to sit at a high top. The bartender walked around and delivered the martinis to us, which was totally not necessary but really highlighted their great service. The espresso martinis were strong and delicious. They were not milky at all, which is just how I like them! I would definitely come back for them and try some food next time :) read more

Cozy and cute. Peach Bellini was the favorite drink. Truffle fries were very tasty. Eggs benny was also very good. Friend loved his grilled cheese. read more

Came here for a party that a friend hosted! The staff were nice and the drinks were decent. The ambience is a chill, low key place - good for catching up or a hangout! read more

The food was great. I tried their kale Caesar salad and asked for chicken to be added. The bowl was small so I thought I'd be hungry but it was the perfect size for lunch. They have these amazing crouton pieces that is almost like a dust so every bite has this nice croutony texture and flavor. My wife got the grilled cheese. She saved half for later because it was a little too greasy to finish in one serving. Flavor was great though. read more

Small corner location with a welcoming atmosphere. Stopped in on a hot summer evening was immediately welcomed with a cool glass of water. Staff was attentive throughout the evening. Beers on tap included nice variety. Menu wasn't long , but hit a varied array to provide choice. Chicken tacos were very good. Good place to pit before or after a show at the Mercury Lounge. Will return. read more

Brunch here was so much fun! I went with 3 other friends, and it was a great place for a group brunch. They have bottomless mimosas but we also tried out some of their cocktails, which were really well made! The spicy tequila drink was my favorite. The food was delicious as well- don't forget to get truffle fries for the table! I really enjoyed the French toast since it was perfectly crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. The truffle mac and cheese could have the cheese be slightly more melty but was still really good! - Navya J @nyconthetable read more

Really enjoyed a brunch here with a friend recently. Service was friendly and the food was delicious, menu was a bit limited but cozy spot

My friends and I were looking for a spot to hangout and came across this really nice sports bar. We got some cocktails, which were really refreshing and delicious. And we also got the truffle fries, which were quite tasty. All in all, the bar has good vibes, and seems to be a great spot for friends to have a casual night out. read more

The vibe is great! We're so happy to stumble upon it. Attentive and unintrusive staff, great music, very clean. Unlimited brunch drinks for $25 which is great. The food was good and came out quickly. I definitely added this to my reccs list and will come back when we're on this side of town. read more

I'd rate the Mayfly three and a half stars. Stopped by for a glass of wine and to lounge for a bit. Just a handful of wines available. Better variety of whiskeys and beers but those focused mostly on macro options with a few crafts here and there. Music was fun and it was a relaxed atmosphere. They have a projector which I suspect is used for special events. Service was attentive. You can pay by QR code which made checkout a breeze. read more

Went for brunch and food was pretty good! Only drawback was that for the bottomless drinks the whole table had to participate read more

Stopped in for an early happy hour while waiting for my bro to get off work .Nice bar on the lower east side. One of the those smaller, hidden gems with a nice food and bar menu. Food looked really good even though I was on a liquid diet during my short visit lol My bartender was super helpful and even explained some upcoming seasonal changes to the drink menu. I had both a margarita and an espresso martini. Both were really good. I'd stop back in for brunch to try the food menu. read more

Cocktails are a little pricey (~13-15) but worth it, especially recommend the Appley Ever After - so so so yummy, whiskey based, light and sweet (never thought I'd use these words in the same sentence). Menu was extensive and the vibe / music was perfect. Our table had a wooden LAZY SUSAN how much classier can you get... Our server was really prompt with our waters (also cool tats!) and proactively followed up with our drinks. The place was also fairly Covid conscious for a bar, the menu was on an applet, and you could check out online. People clearly haven't discovered this place yet because it was not as crowded as it should be on a Friday night!? 10/10 had an amazing time, we stayed til 1:30am when we thought it was going to be a 11:30pm nightcap... that's how you know it's a good time! read more

This corner has been vacant for the LONGEST time, and I'm so happy to see that it's finally occupied! My partner had just finished a race and ran by in the morning. He suggested we try the restaurant out since we love checking out new places and were already starved, so we went! We were immediately greeted by Sarah and she's just the sweetest! She helped us out with water and menus quickly and were helpful with food suggestions. We ended up with the fried chicken sandwich (comes with fries), sour cream and onion dip with crostini, kale salad, Turbulence cocktail, and an Applely Ever After cocktail. ALL were EXTREMELY delicious. The apple cocktail was the perfect boozy autumn drink and the Turbulence def had a kick to it. The dip was reminiscent of French onion soup, which is a delicious thing. The fried chicken sandwich was probably one of the sauciest and flavorsome sandwich I've ever had. And the kale salad was soft enough, had more than enough parmesan, and it was perfect with a fried egg on top. Highly recommend checking this corner restaurant out. You won't regret it! read more

Quaint but charming bar. Family rented out the place for an engagement party, and it ended up being the perfect spot. Great, fast bartenders, enough room to socialize/dance to some music, and a great vibe. read more

Wandered into the Mayfly on Sunday without a res and was pleasantly surprised with our experience! We shared a cheeseburger and the kale caeser salad. Both were absolutely delicious! I would note that the salad is relatively small / no protein so I wouldn't recommend it if you're super hungry, but splitting that and the burger was great. We also did the bottomless brunch and tried out the bloody mary and the wild rose cocktail. The wild rose was super tasty! Service and music were great as well. Prices were reasonable. We'll be back! read more

I've definitely passed this location a few times but never intentionally walked in until my bf and I saw it on the Seated app. After cross referencing with Yelp, we decided to give it a try. We were absolutely SHOCKED at the amazing happy hour deals. They have a pretty large selection of HH food + specialty drinks for $16.... that's insane! We both started off with an espresso martini but he got the burger/truffle fries and I got the veggie flatbread. I do wish that they could possibly offer an impossible/beyond burger on the Happy Hour menu (even if there's a $3 surcharge for being veggie). The drink / food combo is probably one of the best deals I've seen in LES. I totally recommend this spot if you want a few drinks/bites before bar hopping around the area. Our second time visiting we experienced a really interesting and lively Disco night where regulars were boogie oogie oogying. read more

I didn't have a bad time here. I didn't have an amazing time. It was okay. I could take it or leave it. I ordered apps which were fine. The ambiance in there is average. Nothing really pops. I imagine it's a good spot for sports. You can come here to try it but this is not my first choice. read more

The chef left and took his zesty lemon buffalo recipe with him Came here this past Wednesday because I was craving my favorite unique buffalo sauced wings and was disappointed in my first bite, the taste of a regular franks buffalo sauce... Who ever the chef was before, I miss you please give me the recipe to your buffalo sauce it's truly my favorite in the world read more

Overall not bad. Staffs are not wearing mask during Omnicron peak so it's a bit uncomfortable. Sour Cream and Onion Dip - just like an overly melted cheese dip. Not bad but not great. Truffle Fries - fries are good but not much truffle flavor. Cocktails are ok, meet the standard. Table distance are extremely tight even on a quiet Wednesday night. Looks like brunch menu is more successful though. read more

We ordered the a few things off the menu and shared, everything was AMAZING! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming! Highly recommended!

Food was freshly made, it wasn't packed at all we went during the day and they sat us no problem. The music made it such a vibe and I would visit again next time. read more

Great happy hour deal. Tacos/ burger and a drink for $16. They have it going on even during the weekend which is awesome since most places don't do that. I got chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious. My friend got the pork ones which were also tasty but dry. My one complaint is that they keep the lights very dim, which is not ideal making it hard to see your companion. Service however was great. Worth to come just for the happy hour. read more

From the ambiance to the quality of food and drinks, the Mayfly is a great bar in the Lower East Side! I hosted my birthday party here and everyone at the event had a great time. They have one of the best deals in the city to make a party reservation. The owner and servers were kind and attentive. They played my music and took care of the cake for me, and even cut up the slices after singing happy birthday. The bartender even gave me a free shot when he realized I was the birthday girl! Overall, 10/10 experience! read more

So this place just opened up around the corner from me and it's now going on my go-to bottomless brunch list. It's definitely one of the more reasonable places to go and while the portions aren't crazy big, everyone was happy with it. We got bottomless Bellinis and mimosas ($25 each) and they let you switch between mimosas, Bellinis, and Bloddy Mary's which I love cause sometimes I just want one Bloody Mary in the mix of bellinis. For brunch we shared the sour cream and onion dip ($12) to start. Perfect start for when you're starving and hungover and need something comforting. My sister and I then split the burger with an egg ($16+$3) and the macaroni and cheese ($12). The burger was really good, but it was definitely pretty small. With the fries, it's still filling, but if you're a big eater then you may want to order a starter or something as well. The macaroni and cheese was good as well. I'm not gonna claim it's the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had, but it was solid. All of the employees were super nice and helpful. Our party all arrived at separate times, and they were super nice and understanding about it. I wish every restaurant was as nice as them honestly. Overall we had a great time, and we will definitely be back. We are looking forward to going to their Monday night trivia next! read more

The place wasn't busy. There were hardly any other people in there. Maybe because it only opened at 5pm and I made my reservations for 5:30pm on a Tuesday. The food and drink was great. The service was meh. The waitress forgot to provide us napkins, we had to ask! We came on Puls'd deal $29 for two entrees and two drinks. read more
