    Inside

    Went for hh and will def go back. No hh deals but not super expensive. Got wine and sat at a table but the bar could also be a vibe. Sat 5 of us comfortably and our server was great. My friend got a Caesar salad and it was as good as you'd expect given the ambiance & general cozy nyc vibe.

    Vodka soda, beer

    I have been to this bar twice now and both times really enjoyed myself. The inside is beautiful and small, with a bar in the center and a large restroom in the back. The most recent time I went, I only had water and french fries as I'm participating in sober January, but the time prior I ordered a cocktail which was really well made. My friends enjoyed vodka sodas and beer. If you go early enough in the night, you can snag a seat at the bar but if not, it usually doesn't get extremely crowded. The French fries were some of the best I've had recently. Each fry was perfectly salted, hot and crispy and the portion itself was large enough to share and still be filling. I highly recommend this bar for a more sophisticated yet fun stop on a night out.

    Overall: This is a new bar on the corner of W 4th St and Jones St. They've been working on this place forever and it finally has partially opened up. Decided to try it on a Saturday evening for drinks. Its a bit of a dark pub style bar. Only the upstairs is open right now, but they're finishing a downstairs area that will open eventually. It was an interesting place for drinks and has potential, but they have a few kinks they need to work out. I'll try it again, but probably only once the whole place is open. Drinks: 4 Service: 3 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Drinks: We ordered a few rounds of beers and cocktails. The draught list isn't very extensive but they had good variety for the limited choices. The cocktails were decent with some interesting options (my girlfriend had the "Oscar the Grouch" drink that was neon green with mezcal and chartreuse). She also tried the "Almalfi Lemon Spritz", but thought it had too strong of a mint flavor. Service: The service was friendly when you could find them. The bar area is a bit of a horseshoe, with one clear area towards the front near the door and another hidden area around the back. There were two servers working and they seemed to frequently forget the back area. They would wander over once in a while, but not quite often enough. Value: Beers were a reasonable price, but the cocktails were $17 and nothing special. Atmosphere: The whole area was quite dark. Everything looks new, and the decor all fits. They're still working on the downstairs area so you have to walk through a bit of their work to get to the bathrooms. The music was very loud for a relatively empty bar when we showed up around 8pm. However, the bar filled up quickly and I've seen lines outside before.

    Cheeseburger half mauled cause I couldn't wait

    Best burger within a 5 block radius. Got the cheeseburger, amazing, will get the wagyu next time

    Honestly so happy this spot opened up! A great new bar in the west village with an ideal layout. Even when it's crowded, more on the later side, there's a lot of different spaces to sit, stand, hang. The crowd is a great mix of ages, not too young. They always have something fun going on, Halloween they had a tarot card reader and fun eyeball Jell-O shots. Service is always quick at the bar, the perfect place to enjoy a Guinness. Oh and the fries are amazing! Highly recommend overall, this will be our go-to in the neighborhood. Beautiful and well done! Happy it opened!

    Based only on wine, service was good and wine was good. Definitely gets busy as the evening goes on so if you want a table, arrive early.

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.

    Incomplete review as I wasn't able to eat here…read more The reservation cancellation fee is unclear, subjective, and EXPENSIVE ($25 per person)! 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.

Based on the quality, the prices are high, even for the neighborhood. Despite the drinks and despite the crappy service on the second visit, we will likely come back the next time we're in town in hopes of finding a bartender who understands the job. It's near other stuff we like, and the music and vibes were that good on the first night. And if it sucks again, there's like a thousand other places in walking distance.
