Corner spot. Low lighting. Tight outdoor seating. Food was okay. Caesar salad tasted more like chicory because it was so bitter. Croutons were great. The squash wheels with yogurt were a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed those. Shrimp with the toast dish was good too! Drinks were also okay. Service was alright. Maybe because we were sitting outside and sometimes servers forget. They kept bringing our next course without the table being bussed. Food runner kept asking if we wanted plates, not sure how we would share the dishes without them. Dessert was underwhelming. Cookie felt like it was microwaved to get warmed up and the scoop of ice cream was smaller than a whip cream dollop. Looked sad. Luckily the San Genarro Festival was entertaining and we got to enjoy that during our dinner.
What a hidden gem this place is. My family and I were out shopping all day in the cold. Every restaurant had huge lines, we failed several times to secure a table. We stumbled upon The Wooly and were so happy we did. Cozy, great ambiance, warm and inviting. Donavon was our server, he was super attentive and very friendly. The cocktails were delicious. The BLTA was good except the bacon was super fatty lacking flavor....ironically. Our bus boy/runner was so nice!! This spot is underrated to say the least. We really enjoyed our lunch here. We would come back here in a heartbeat.
I came here to meet a friend while in NY for a day, and neither of us had been before so I wasn't sure they were even open because Google listed their hours as being open from 12pm onwards. I realized that they had a coffee bar window, and that was open before 12pm (12pm is the opening time for the restaurant). I treated my friend to an iced coffee, while I got a hot lavender matcha. The ambiance is conducive to sitting and relaxing outside, taking in the New York seats, while the inside has that vintage vibe and also looks cozy. My friend and I were able to enjoy our drinks and take in the fresh September New York morning. My friend is a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur, and ordered one of their special chocolate chip cookies for both of us to share. She proclaimed it to be "the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC!". With that firm proclamation, I had to believe her. It was easy to believe, as I found the cookie soft, warm, super chewy and buttery, and had enough salt to give it that interesting flavor. I highly recommend pairing their coffee with a cookie! The manager was a nice guy and chatted with us for a bit, and the barista working that day was super helpful as well.
Popped in on my walk down Mulberry street during the San Gennaro fest. The bar area was closed off for a private event, we just wanted drinks, the hostess sat us at a table which was only available for 30 mins. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, our drinks came out quickly. The frozen espresso martini was very good, the margarita not so good. Super cute ambiance, I will be returning to try the food.
My experience at The Wooly was delightful! Creative cocktails, delicious cuisine, and kind service. The aesthetic was stylish with a retro feel. The Wooly is decorated with CD stacks, vintage cassette players, and even taxidermy, making it a genuinely unique place. I came here for brunch, and tried the "Private Cheeseburger." The cheeseburger was delicious and fresh. I also thought the remoulade was creamy. Overall, 5 stars.
Overall decent brunch spot; the prices of drinks (alc and non alc) were a bit on the steep end but the food prices were reasonable. The mango chutney chicken sandwich was good but felt not very hot by the time it arrived to the table. The restaurant wasn't packed, which was nice.
Wow! Fantastic service, good, and ambiance. Everything ordered was delicious! Crunchy, yummy& would totally order again. Service was consistent & fast. Perfect for happy hours with big groups!
Pretty lovely place with a cool cd / speaker behind the bar. The drinks themselves were interesting, had one with peppercorn.
Came here expecting good food based on review. We sat outside since we had the dogs with us. The food took a while to come out even though it was not busy. But then that's fine if it was good food. But everything. Was either bland or no flavor. Very disappointing. The staff was friendly but didn't come check on us often so it took a while for us to get our check to leave since it was hot. First time and last time.
Such a cute bar/ restaurant! It felt very cool and moody yet casual and easy going! Most of their food is elevated bar food and it was all so good! We had the burger and fries and those fries were some of the best that I have had! I could have eaten only the fries for dinner and been content! They have an elevated pigs in the blanket that had duck in them and they were mouth watering good as well! The drinks were lovely and so was the staff. 10/10 recommend going!
Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon while exploring little Italy neighborhood. Ordered a snack (feta bake with tomatoes etc. and toasted baguette) and coffee. Coffee was at room temperature, my partner asked if they could heat up the coffee and they chose to make a fresh cup. This time the coffee came with a creamer on the side which was cold, so, ten minutes of all that fuss and we were back at square one. The feta bake: the top was charred black, so about a third of the dish was inedible, the part that was edible was heavily salted. All in all a disappointing experience. To top it all, the hostess accosted me on the way out in a very snarky attitude about not leaving any tip. If the tip is an optional thing and the service/food is less than mediocre, that seemed super aggressive. Very underwhelming for a place like NewYork!
Back again and giving it a fifth star - vibes are great, service is great, food is great. No complaints all around, really solid spot
So happy I was able to snag a Friday night reservation here. The staff was incredibly friendly upon arrival and throughout the service. Music was great and while the dining room was completely full, the volume was not overwhelming. The espresso and dirty martinis are perfectly balanced. The Drakes in Capes appetizer was my favorite especially paired with the whipped honey mustard cream. I ordered my burger medium rare and it came out a little more rare than anticipated but was still great. I was overall very impressed with my entire experience. I was dining with some friends and one is visiting nyc for the very first time. He said the Spiced Slice Chicken was maybe the best chicken he ever had.
The cheese plate was lackluster and not on par with what I've come to expect of a cheese plate from a happy hour menu BUT the zucchini fries were so tasty. We ended up putting in one more order of the fries because we devoured them that fast. The staff was also very flexible with accommodating our party that was higher in headcount than what the reservation originally was for. Overall a really nice corner bar/restaurant to stop by after work! read more
We stopped by The Wooly needing a little respite from the sun and some sustenance before moving on to our final sightseeing destination for the day. The Wooly had a happy hour menu so we shared some apps and a drink at a pet friendly table in their parklet. Service was fast and efficient. I had the Caprese martini which I did not like. For nibbles we shared the fried mushrooms, cheese plate, and olives. The olives were good and the mushrooms were everyone's favorite dish. The cheese plate was okay, probably better if we had ordered two plates for our table of three people. Add a star for dog friendly seating. read more
Must try the fried squash rings. Would never think to order it but once I had a bite it was a winner. Drinks and food all solid but I went during happy hour for only 1 hour and the bill was $80 for two people already. That just seems like regular pricing to me at this point. Besides that everything was read more

Overall rating: 4.8 My friend stumbled on this place after getting denied at Rubirosa and omg it is so good!! The staff was so friendly & the atmosphere felt influencer fancy. There were a few items I definitely would pass on, but then there were some amazing dishes I need to go back for: - Sweet Pea Plantasia 1/5 --the description of this made it seem like a salad of some sort. It was a weird chip and dip style that's not worth it. Do not recommend. - Drakes in capes 4/5 --a fancy pigs in blanket. Wish they served with honey mustard to complete the meal! - Pesto harvest salad 6/5 --absolutely delicious and highly recommend! I tried to remake at home and it was not good haha. Def need to go back in the daylight and take clearer pictures. - Miso brined salmon 5/5 --Really tasty! Highly reco. - Peg's Cadillac cocktail 5/5 --reasonably sweet. I liked it! - Mother night cocktail 4/5 --a bit tooo strong for me. Not the best old fashioned. My friend and I got 2 cocktails each and split the meals. The total with tip was $100, which I mean we are in SoHo soo I do think the price range should be a higher price point. It is NOT $30-$50. Still recommend. read more
The Wooly is a new Nolita gem! This place is dishing out superb cocktails and food! The "Whip it Good" and the "Peg's Cadillac" were the highlight cocktails for us! The staff were phenomenal and the food was fantastic! The spicy tuna and the burger were also incredible! With a romantic ambience and a prime location I will certainly be back soon! read more

The Wooly was a nice place to enjoy good cocktails and delicious food. Everything we had was excellent. I got the Halibut, which was a special on the menu. We enjoyed the watermelon feta salad and garlic shrimp to start. The service was lovely. The seating was comfortable, and everything was a 10! read more

We went here on our 11 year anniversary, to grab some drinks after we had dinner elsewhere. The two cocktails we had were amazing, and when our waitress came back to take our next order we asked for two shots, one tequila and one mezcal. She had noted that those sounded really good, so we asked if she wanted to take one with us, and she excitedly agreed. She brought back three shots and we took them, and a few minutes later brought us our bill. Now we were prepared to cover her shot, but we didn't realize that she chose a $36 and 38 shot for both her and my fiance. We didn't make a fuss about it in the moment because we didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but that really soured our experience. $38 for a shot (for herself too), without asking which tier or brand we wanted? Additionally, as we hate to leave bad tips, we still tipped 15% on top of the entire bill. We felt taken advantage of and will not be back. Update: the owner has offered to refund us for the shots, which we happily accepted. Thanks David! read more
I did not sit down, just tried their to go coffee counter. Had the shaken iced lavender latte. It was 6.5 so not too expensive! I like the creaminess but the expresso was too light for me. Wouldn't say I'd get again. They had some seating outside read more

Vibes are vibing. Service is superb. Cocktails are even better!! The Wooly is a must try in Nolita / SoHo area. I got their brand new summer drink the "Cantaloop" and it was a 10/10. Mellow and fruity with a hint of lemon. Perfect for the upcoming hot summer days. Next time I need to check out their happy hour for their $11 martinis!!! read more
