    Vodka soda, beer
    Miranda M.

    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.

    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

    Almalfi Lemon Spritz

    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.

    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.

    Irish Breakfast

    Have been to this regularly since its opening in the summer and it does not disappoint! The food is top notch and exactly what you want at a west village bar - great menu, good portion sizes and high quality ingredients (particularly the Irish breakfast which uses proper Irish sausage and Heinz beans... which as an Englishmen I appreciate!). But the burger and new brunch menu is also very good... highly recommend the frittata!! The service is always great too! The ambiance through the day is super chill and always have cracking playlists but the weekend DJ performances are a big hit! Highly recommend this spot and will for sure be a big favourite in the west village soon!!

    Weakest pour I've ever had. It's a one and done for us here. It's nice inside, but honestly the worst pour I've ever had.

We had the sliders, mozz sticks & fried pickles and were happy with all of them and the prices. Drinks were also good. This place is very small, with maybe 3 tables, a small couch seating area, and seats around the bar. To snag a happy hour table, getting there before 5 is preferable. It can get loud in there, but it's a great spot!

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.

After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

Grinding the meat destroys all the hard work of the Japanese cattle farmers. In a burger you can effectively create a wagyu burgers just by adjusting the ratio of fat and meat so using wagyu and regular beef to get to a 60/40 blend is the same. I guess my complaint is mostly just to wagyu burgers lol
