Charming local bar and fab food restaurant.
Michael greeted us at the bar with a big smile and great cocktails, wine and beers! Come for dinner with your friends! A real find in Kip’s Bay!

I had the chicken pot pie and i was disappointed. While the crust and gravy were tasty the chicken was bland. I also personally did not like that the pieces of chicken were cut uneven to where there were big chunks and then small ones. Really should shred the chicken instead and season it as well. The burger was cooked well and juicy and the avocado BLT was also good. The french fries weren’t the best.

This used to be a place we would go regularly. We recently went for my friends birthday and the owner was so rude. The second we walked in he came up to us in a very rude tone saying he’s not doing bottomless brunch for us, meanwhile we’re all 21-22 and had our IDs. He had a very dismissive tone even after we tried showing us our IDs. Very poor service and it’s disappointing seeing as this was a regular spot for us.

We came for bottomless brunch and were asked for IDs in a very rude tone (we are 23 and 25 but look young), he took 10 minutes scanning our IDs in a machine that didn’t work and came back to tell us that we look very young and he can’t accept our genuine New York State IDs… he didn’t believe I was 25 until I showed him my graduate school ID. Very rude about it. Food was good and bottomless was good but don’t understand why this dude was so rude

This place was… an experience.

We walked in around 4 PM to an empty bar. Greeted (barely) by a tall, gray-haired bartender who looked like he’d already mentally clocked out. We ordered beers, and he poured them like it was his first day — foam overflow, beer dripping down the sides, puddles on the bar. He saw the mess. Walked away. No towel. No wipe. No shame.

Luckily, two younger bartenders — a guy and a girl — showed up 20 minutes later and actually gave a damn. They were fast, friendly, and handled the growing crowd like pros. Suddenly the place had a vibe.

And then… the shuffleboard squad rolled in.

Within an hour, the place transformed into what felt like the afterparty of a 1960s high school reunion. We were asked — multiple times — to scoot down, adjust, make room, shift over. Like, every five minutes another cardigan-wearing member of the AARP Avengers needed a seat at the bar.

We were practically playing musical chairs with strangers in orthopedic shoes. At one point, it felt like we were guests at someone else’s family gathering. No “Hey, sorry,” no friendly banter — just a silent assumption we’d make space. And we did… until it got old.

We were planning to stay the night, but the message was clear: this bar already has its people — and we weren’t on the guest list.

Shame, really. The place itself wasn’t bad. But if you’re under 60 and unfamiliar, don’t expect a warm welcome. Just bring some Bengay and a folding chair — you’ll need both.

Upon entering Friday night there was one spot at the bar, luckily. This seems popular. As a frugal guy, I asked the waitress what prices were for a shot. $8. I almost threw up – but they agreed to cut me a break if I tipped well. Fortunately, I always tip well.

After a great pour of Guinness and a couple shots, I was cheers-ing the whole bar. I would’ve tried the food, but I’m more a Sandor Clegane “I’ll take a roast chicken” vibes. No roast chicken here, only fried. Bottom line: good place to stop for a drink. Making my way to the next bar.

Bottomless brunch 7 days a week? Its a no brainer. The drinks are strong. The decor is….different but I do enjoy the flowers on the table. The food was pretty good (sorry, was ravenous and did not take a pic) and I was over the moon with the drinks. They were strong and flowing. I will definitely come back when I visit home again.
