Recommendation from a Gramercy/ LES savant. Two requirements; need the Knicks game on and foods gotta be bussin'. Both mightily passed. Fried pickles were stellar, curly fries were bitchin', grilled chicken salad was fresh, and the Buffalo duck wings, absolutely choice. So tender and loaded with deep flavor. Weird part is, they didn't tell me there would be animals in the restaurant making primal sounds while I was eating... (It was me, I was howling). Also tried a new Spritz beverage for Happy Hour (4p-8p), very tasty! Our server didn't miss with the recommendations either! Great hospitality and service. Even the sodas felt elevated with fried orange slices, lemon slices, etc. Overall this place one me over. Felt like a local gem with a killer vibe. Will be back! read more

The Winslow was exactly what we needed after a chaotic night. We came here to relax and calm down and the atmosphere was perfect for that. I ordered an Irish mule and it was really good, smooth and refreshing without being too heavy. It fit the vibe of the night really well. There was a small hiccup when the bartender accidentally spilled a Guinness on my friend's jacket. She did give her a shot which was a nice gesture, but spilling beer on a jacket is still not ideal. Aside from that, the place felt mellow and comfortable, which was exactly what we were looking for. It was a solid spot to reset and wind down. read more

Came in for happy hour and even though they said that it lasts until 8 on Tuesdays, apparently it does not. That being said, the bartender was nice and gave me one at happy hour prices. The place was empty when I went, but the bartenders seem chill and there was decent music playing. There was a ton of seating (since it was empty) and was your standard run of the mill bar. Nothing special, nothing awful (besides the wrong menu). read more

Came here after watching a movie at Union Square. Got the fish and chips which was great. Fish was piping hot and the batter came out extremely crunchy. The Gina na d tonic was perfect and fragrant. Our bartender was friendly and kept the service running smoothly. Will be back! read more

I threw my boyfriend's 30th birthday party in the semi-private back room at the Winslow and can not recommend this space enough. Our server (Joe, I believe) was amazing, like a kind of omnipotent presence that refilled drinks before you realized your glass was empty. The space was wonderful, the staff accommodating and kind. We had an amazing time. read more

Such a fantastic spot! Amazing drinks, delicious food, and an outstanding staff. This was our second party here, and we'd book our next one in a heartbeat! read more

Walked in today at 4:17pm to watch a 4:25 Bills game. Was sat at a high top for 2 since 2 of us. When I asked for a lower table, the waiter with gray long hair and glasses rudely said, we expect to be "full" so he couldn't sit us at 4-top. It was five minutes before the game started dude, when are you going to be full?! I asked for a table in room towards the back - he said it's closed. Understood but the place was practically empty (except for the bar) with many tables empty. He asked for a credit card to start a tab when I ordered one non-alcoholic drink & didn't even finish looking at the menu. I asked to pay in cash as I'm not comfortable re bar tabs because recently had a fraud situation on my card. He snapped back to just order at the bar! THEN, the tables remained empty for the entire game including the one we asked for AND he sat 2 other customers at a 4-top when he told us that he couldn't. I work in hospitality and this waiter was the rudest person I ever encountered at a bar/restaurant. I'm a Bills fan & a NYC tour guide. I WON'T be going back to the Winslow & will NOT refer any of my friends or clients there. I was there once before & a different waiter was friendly but the food (except for fries) is not good. And mocktail should be in a tall glass for $12. read more

Yes! Solid, clean, energetic bar with a massive Gin library, but the place is more than just diverse gin. The staff is friendly, the setup is perfect for intimate dates, groups of friends, and large events. Happy hour is a must here - how can you pass on a $7 Aperol Spritz or an $8 Gin-and-tonic-of-the-day? Apparently Happy Hour has been expanded to 8PM (as opposed to 7PM on their website), so spend an extra hour there and get happy! Love this place, can't wait to go back. read more

I hosted a get-together (~20 people) at the Winslow and had the best experience! Catarina responded to my request very quickly and was really nice and helpful. They blocked off a great portion of their space for my group so we had plenty of seating, and the minimum spend was super reasonable. We had Kareem taking care of us for the whole time and he was warm, friendly, and really on top of it. Everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks are also awesome - as gin fan, definitely one of the best selections in all of NYC. Probably the best when you combine it with the great vibes. Highly recommend coming in for a drink or booking your event here. Love this place! read more

Hosted my birthday here! Planning a birthday/large reservation in the city can be such a pain. The Winslow made it so easy!! They had so many different options for different sized groups. I loved the back room for my group of about 20 friends. The space was perfect for my witchy Halloween-themed birthday. Our waitress was incredible and so kind! The minimum spend was extremely affordable, and the separate checks made things easy for people who don't drink! Already thinking of another party to host here! read more

Hosting my birthday party at The Winslow was fantastic! From the beginning Mark + team were incredibly patient fielding any planning questions. The service day of (shoutout Tanner) was top notch. We had a great time - food, drinks, and atmosphere was incredible. Would totally recommend! read more

The Winslow earned my trust after just one visit. Their food quality is remarkable & truthfully, all dishes I've ordered have been impressive. The food tastes good and costs what it should. Kind workers attended our table. The entire restaurant operates seamlessly. read more

Good for happy hour! The drinks and food are delicious! I had this lavender gin cocktail which I can't recall the name of but it was tasty. If you're like me and don't care for egg whites on your drinks, I promise it's mild. Definitely try the Korean style duck wings and the cheese curds. Both are packed with flavor and come in a good portion size. I will say the happy hour drink menu isn't great as it's very limited. I don't believe they have happy hour food specials which would also be nice. I wanted to give them five stars but the bartenders and servers were not attentive at all. We had to get up from the table several times to get their attention. read more

I came here for happy hour on a Friday. Our server was very friendly. They offer an $8 happy hour gin & tonic special. The flavor of the day was grapefruit. The cocktail had a dried grapefruit garnish but otherwise, the flavor didn't really come through. To eat, we had the veggie chili nachos. They were loaded with bean chili, cheese sauce, sour cream, and pickled jalapeños. The tortilla chips were thick, house style and held up well even with all the toppings. It was hearty and a good portion size. We added guacamole for $2 extra. We also had the mac and cheese with jalapeños. They used shell pasta. The jalapeños were fresh and crunchy but they weren't spicy at all. The dish was topped with buttery bread crumbs that added nice texture. read more

The food tasted freshly made, the service was prompt, and everything felt right. The menu features traditional items and staff are considerate. Their workers were extremely friendly - entirely sincere. The food portions satisfy, the prices seem fair, and the taste impresses. Give this place a fair chance - it succeeds. read more

The restaurant was very dirty and they were extremely rude Food is not that great. Please do not waste your money.

Not many spots maintain quality throughout the entire menu. Make sure to try the desserts when you visit. This place feels warm and inviting. The staff frequently provided unexpected assistance. All elements exceeded standards. read more

The restaurant's layout makes conversation easy while dining. Every meal component stands out and prices stay reasonable. The employees made me feel like part of their family. The dishes showcase new food displayed skillfully. We're thinking we'll be back within days. read more

My partner and I were in the neighborhood and saw this spot had some pretty interesting cocktails (as well as great reviews on Yelp), so we decided to check it out, and we were so happy we did! We ended up actually getting two rounds, with our favorite cocktails being the Jessica Rabbit and A Walk in the Dark. The real star was the cheese curds though (we were hungry and wanted a snack) - they were some of the best we've had at any bar! Service was friendly as well - and we will def be returning some time in the near future (potentially for one of their HHs). read more

Our food was perfect, we kept it simple (for us) - chicken curry pie for me and fish n chips for her. And we had the scotch egg (reminded me of my mum's! Service - top notch, they keep the water coming and my beer was still bubbly when they served it (hadn't been sitting on the bar for an hour). We like the feel of this place too - it feels comfortable and vibrant, you can get lost here or you can have a blast with friends. And it's a convenient walk from nearby hotels - we were at the Marriott across from the iconic Flatiron building! read more

I highly recommend this bar especially for private parties. We utilized the private back room space, it was enclosed and perfect for our needs! Our server, Taylor ensured we had everything we needed in terms of drinks. We also ordered some platters, the pigs in the blanket were absolutely delicious. I most note, as well the cocktails were extremely tasty especially Practice what you preach!:) Everyone especially, Catarina the manager ensured we had everything we needed. The bus boys also made sure everything was cleaned up in a timely matter. We were so pleased with the entire experience. Highly recommend this place! read more

Lovely spot for a happy hour after work! They focus on gin here, so of course I had to make gin and tonic my drink of choice for the night (only $8 for happy hour!). The specialty drinks are also nothing to turn your nose up at. My one friend had the soju cocktail and said it was pretty good (imaged as the most right glass), thought it is pricier since it's not part of the happy hour. We also had a burger, fried chicken sandwich and shepards pie. Classic pub food- can't complain! Our waitress was very accommodating and the music playlist was genuinely top tier! Definitely another convenient and well priced happy hour spot for me to add to my ever growing list. read more

"Your above average gastropub" Being in the neighborhood I have gone here several times over the years. It's a good place to grab a beer, some food, watch a game or enjoy a casual night with friends. Gin is the main attraction here. They have a whole menu of Gin drinks and daily specials. Their gin drinks overachieve! What's to cheer - prices are reasonable - Ambience: festive but not too loud - food: good bar bites - Service -- very good and fast What's to jeer - Crowd is quite boring, hoi polloi - Happy hour is a little more expensive than the rest of the neighborhood read more

I had my birthday party here (about 30 people). Mark and the staff were wonderful! they gave us a great section where we were both part of the crowd but had our own private space to chat. We had a great server who was very helpful. Everyone had a great time- highly recommend for events and birthdays!! read more

Happy hour was a great price and the bartender was very friendly. Drinks were strong and the location is great across from UCB and between two train stops. Beer taps seemed a litttttle old, but bottled beer was great, so no complaints! read more

Our junior board for Catholic Charities has made this our home for our mixers and quarterly events. And they always hit, even amidst large crowds and new friends. Normally, heading this downtown harkens back to cheap street eats and the diviest of bars. But The Winslow is pretty good choice right in the middle of sports bar and corporate happy hour. Book their private, glass-encased room for some intimate conversation. read more

Such a solid gastropub in East Village area. This place specializes in gin and has an entire menu of gin cocktails to choose from! Their other drink selection is not as strong, but they have the basics and some beers on tap. They have a gin flight if you want to try some different options. The portions of the food here were massive. We had five people and were able to essentially share four dishes. I wouldn't expect to come here for a life changing meal, but it's a place that gets the job done if you're looking for something like this. There's plenty of seating and a standing section in the back. The service here is also pretty attentive, but essentially a no frills situation. read more

If you're looking to plan a birthday party or event, The Winslow is a great spot to celebrate. I came for a friend's birthday, and while I did not drink or anything, I had a great time. It wasn't overwhelmingly crowded at about 10 PM, but I imagine it gets pretty hectic a bit later. While I didn't have any drinks or food here, I just want to give a shout-out to the staff for being SO attentive. Seriously, that was some of the best service I've gotten in NYC. They checked on us so often, and it was either the owner or just a very experienced server, but his attentiveness was impressive. One of our group had a minor medical moment, and after notifying the server, I was honestly impressed by how attentive he was. I'll be back some time to give their drinks a shot, appreciate the neat bar decor, and tip my server well--thanks guys! read more

Celebrated my 32nd birthday here and had an amazing experience thanks to the Winslow team! Catarina responded quickly to my inquiry and provided all of the relevant information needed about the venue and the different types of spaces we could book. We ended up picking the private back room, which was the perfect size for our 25~ guests and the food options were fantastic (everything disappeared the moment food was served). If you're looking to host an birthday in the East Village with excellent drinks, appetizers, and a large space, I would highly recommend picking this bar for the drinks options (it's a gin bar, so expect a wide variety of options to try out) and great service. We'll absolutely be back soon! read more

Had a party here the first weekend of the new year and the staff could NOT have been better!! Our private bar tender (Joe) was INCREDIBLE and so so kind. Not to mention the life of the party (and remembered guests' names) - he was the best! HIGHLY recommend hosting an event here whenever you need to find a space - they're so accommodating!! THANK YOU x 1000!!!! read more

This was my second time stopping by the Winslow, this time I made it for happy hour which I was very excited about! I got the blood orange gin and tonic (their happy hour tonic rotates daily) while my partner got a beer on draft. BUT the real star of the show is the cheese curds... they were just as good as I remember. Not on the happy hour menu, but a generous portion for sharing and absolutely delightful. Probably the best cheese curds I've had. Just sayin. read more

I hosted a birthday party here in the banquette and middle pillar area. It was roped off from the rest of the bar and we had our own waiter. Everyone could do separate checks and we easily met the bar minimum. Some people ordered food as well. This was really the perfect space to reserve for this type of gathering. read more

We went to this bar after dinner. The bouncers were incredible. They were so fun to talk to and banter with. When we got in there was a decent crowd but it didn't feel too crowded. Their music was amazing. They made my espresso martini the way I loved it. The drinks were affordable so much that I was so shook by my bill. I would 100% come back to this place. read more

Got really smelly and hot when they closed the front door. Keep the window open fellas. Good duck wings

Amazing service and great food! Had an amazing dinner here and everything we ordered was delicious. The ambiance is perfect for groups. Definitely a spot I would come back to for a great night out. read more

I hosted my 30th birthday party here. I am very glad I found this place! Such a hidden gem. It was the perfect balance of wild fun / private intimate gathering. There was another 30th birthday being held at the same time in the main bar area, and I had the famous "back room" reserved for my guests only. They were allowed to arrive and leave anytime during the alloted time slot reserved. Catarina was super responsive and helpful in organizing the event leading up to it, and our host and server Joe was very attentive and hospitable. He was super friendly and made everything stress free. The DJ was AMAZING!!!! He played all the best songs for the crowds of two 30-year-old 90s babies, haha. There is a TV in the back room so I brought my laptop and bought an HDMI converter to hook up to the screen to display a slideshow of old photos/memories, which was a huge hit with my guests. The drinks are obviously all gin focused, but they had several different options and all were great! They let me bring my own cake for a fee. No fee to reserve the room, just a food/drink minimum that was easily reached by the end of the night. The remainder of my party wanted to hang around after our time slot to chill and catch up more, and we were able to extend the reservation an hour later than intended no problem. :) The only negative thing I can think of is that the lighting was REALLY dim so the room had a really dark vibe. We asked if the lights could be turn up more, but they had reached their brightest capacity. All our photos taken came out very dark/blurry... :/ You also unfortunately (but understandably!!) can't tape anything to the walls because of wallpaper, so we had to be creative with decorations on the 2 glass windows. Nevertheless, a lot of wonderful memories were made with my closests friends that I will cherish always. I will definitively consider booking a party here in the future, and you should to!!!! One of the best deals in the city, and such a friendly caring team. read more

Came here to meet up with an old friend. Service here is amazing and the customer service is top notch. With the MLB playoffs, we were more interested in the Nets basketball game. They were good with that and changed one of the channels to the game just for us. Food is average. My friend order the Sweet Potato fries ($7) and the wings, while I ordered the Chicken Sandwich and added the fries (+$2). Wasn't the best food and wasn't the worst food. read more

Nice little vibe. Great drinks. Great burger. Definitely would come back here again. Try the pear pressure if you can!

Such a great place to host a private event! Best minimum spend in the area, I scouted a bunch of spots that all wanted me to spend thousands for less than 20 people. Food and drinks were delicious. We went with the banquette seating section so our group of 16 was able to sit and enjoy brunch. They had several setup options to select for our needs. We reserved a private area, but with a 12pm reservation we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves, which was nice. Our server Joe really hustled and provided amazing service, was even able to keep track of separate checks which was also unheard of for any of the other private spaces around. Will definitely be coming back for a meal, drink, or private event! read more
