This place is absolutely amazing!!! my boyfriend and I came to visit from Vegas and we were here for four days and every day we were here we came to here. Our Airbnb was right down the street which was a bonus, but even if we weren’t that close, we would’ve probably still visited this place because it was amazing the first day we tried them. The service is phenomenal. The drinks are amazing. The the food is absolutely delicious. The vibes in the whole area are just immaculate. They have so many different areas to sit and chill all the way to the back and just wow…they’re great!!! Can’t say it enough. We are coming back to visit and we will for sure be back here.

Solid little dive-style bar. It’s dim lit, mostly standing room, with affordable sandwiches and cans of beer or seltzer. Definitely a fun little spot with some good food and inexpensive drinks!

Joey Roses is tucked away in the basement of a building, small spot, but full of personality. The sandwiches are okay, kind of like what you’d grab at a bodega. The meat itself is good, but the bread is a lot of bread. We tried the Eastie and the PB&J. That said, the vibe makes up for it. Worth checking out more for the vibe than the food.

Joey Roses was great! It doesn’t look like much from the street, but that’s how you know it’s gonna be good. It’s basically a super cool dive bar with amazing food! Staff was super friendly. I got the Eastie and the brussel sprouts. Both were amazing! It’s a cool environment that I would come back and enjoy a drink in the evening. Definitely coming back.

As a longtime NYC resident, there are only a handful of times I’ve felt legitimately scammed at food establishments, and ordering from Joey Roses was one of them. I ordered a reasonably priced sandwich (no complaints there), but when they asked if I wanted a “side of coleslaw,” I said yes, expecting a normal deli portion. Instead, they handed me a 2oz condiment cup and charged $5 for it.
Coleslaw isn’t caviar. It’s cabbage and mayo. Charging $5 for two bites is not just overpriced, it’s predatory. At this price point they are charging ~$40/lb for mediocre coleslaw. It’s an extremely poor practice to take advantage of customers in this way, and it guarantees I won’t be back. Plenty of delis in this city that respect their customers more.
Update: $5 for 4oz?! aka $20 a pound for cabbage and mayo? That’s steakhouse filet mignon territory. Still a scam, and tells me they know exactly what they’re doing.

I absolutely adore this place. I’ve been here a few times now and the food always fantastic, reasonably priced, and all their bread is baked in house daily. The bartenders are super friendly and really give this place a great vibe too. It’s gonna be hard to not pop in everytime I’m in the LES.
Tip: Get a sandwich with brussel sprouts; The Babe is my personal fav.

Great sandwiches, great draft beer and a great selection of music.
Stella was the best bartender I met on my trip to New York. Helped me get into some comedy shows, and made sure I got my belongings back when I’d left them in the bar one night – and great music when she’s working!

Great sandwiches in a relaxed dive-y atmosphere.
A Full bar complements a curated menu of unique sandwiches.
I had “The Dad” and it was great. My friend had “The Freak”… And we’ll.. it was freaky.
Highly recommend a stop.

CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS!!! ADDING TIPS AFTER THE FACT!!
Friends and I got a few drinks. Bill came to around 25 dollars, tipped a normal 20%. Days after, my bank contacts me and asks if I meant to tip 254% on this order. ???
Thought it was a mistake but after reading reviews it seems like this has happened many times. Incredibly sneaky, and nearly impossible to get a refund. It took almost three weeks, countless calls and texts with a manager. As a food service worker I understand only managers can issue refunds and sometimes it takes a few days, but it should not take weeks for the refund to even show up in processing. Very dodgy.

This place is awesome. Really cool decorations and the bartender Bailey was super kind and attentive.
The food was unreal and the sandwich “local”; which I got to go, kept perfectly for a few hours and was delicious. Can’t wait to come back
