An oasis on a hot summer day. The well appointed room and great music combined with the staff made for a welcoming experience. We had the chicken sandwich and the burger. Each were delicious. Good job!.

Just like their drinks, this place is FIRE!!! Maria was behind the bar tonight. She is a great bartender and made my night so much fun. One could say, she really "fired" up my night . The atmosphere is so nice. It is a place you can take someone when you are still trying to figure out their taste preferences. They have a variety of wines, beers, cocktails, and old fashioned. The food is also reasonably priced so you won't break the bank. The Tuna Tartare was very good. After a careful analysis between the two old fashioned James Dean (sweet smoke) If you are slowly diving into the realm of old fashioned, this is perfect for you. With a much lighter kick with the same buzz, this is that "sweet emotion" you have been looking for. This drink will be your "TNT" and rock you like AC/DC. This drink comes ON FIRE. Literally! See my attached video to see for yourself. Humphrey Bogart (Smokey) This drink is a living interpretation of the song "Highway To Hell". You know this drink will rock your world with your very first sip. Powerful, full bodied... it's as if the drink can talk. What it said to me was "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane". And that drink rocked my world. I would highly recommend this spot to all my millennials out there. This place is more of a sophisticated drink spot. I will be back.

I've only ever come here for work related lunches/Happy Hours but it never ceases to be a fun time! I've actually never had a drink here except for a mocktail (which was tasty!) but you can't go wrong with a croque monsieur for lunch. Definitely will be back!

5 stars for the holiday decorations and fun atmosphere! Perfect place to go for Christmas spirit where you won't wait in line for 5 hours but can still enjoy all the festive decor. The food was good but nothing to write home about. We enjoyed the chicken and croque. Service was slow but everything went smoothly. Would definitely return here again during the holiday season.

You come here for the experience and ambiance. It's crazy crowded for a reason- It's FUN. Yes it's hard to get service but these people are working their best. Worth a visit and a Christmas Smile.

This was a really fun spot to hit if you like Halloween decor or if you just love skeletons and eery vibes. We came here in October in the spirit of Halloween and really enjoyed entire atmosphere. For food we got the spinach dip and it was pretty good. It came with pita chips. They have an appetizer deal so if you come with a big group it can be very cost effective. Drinks we got the cocktails and they were surprisingly strong. They tasted good, usual cocktails - nothing special. Service: The service was pretty slow and there were a few times we had to flag our server down. Price: The price of the drinks and appetizers are the usual NYC prices. Overall, I felt like it was an average bar for food and drinks however the decor really made a big difference in the atmosphere and it was a fun experience. Perk of this place: It's on Seated, so I got cashback. If you don't have the app, try it out. If you use code Forum1, you'll get $10.
