    The atmosphere of Bitter Monk is high end and intimate. It would be a perfect date night spot or an overdue catch up with a friend. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable about their spirits and cocktails. I believe they make their own alcohol on premise and also infuse the flavors, which you can see through a glass wall. The cocktail I tried was spectacular and they also have a happy hour menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a private place at Industry City.

    Gorgeous space , but felt a little more like an office than a cocktail bar. My drinks were strong but just okay, they were whiskey based. The gin based drinks were a lot better

    My partner and I were in the area for a show recently and noticed Bitter Monk had just opened, so we made sure to prioritize coming to BM for a drink beforehand! For those who dont know, Bitter Monk is owned by the same team at Sugar Monk, which is an amazing cocktail bar in uptown manhattan. We walked in on a Saturday around 3pm and it was fairly quiet, but we were excited to find out it was happy hour. We both ordered drinks off the happy hour menu, along with the $6 black Truffle popcorn. The drinks were delicious and boozy... and who doesn't like a good Truffle popcorn?!?! We enjoyed everything so much we split one more cocktail and another order of popcorn. Bitter Monk is a bit hard to find as it's on the second floor of IC.. But totally worth going to!

    Bar as you walk in.

    A cute bar with impeccable cocktails. We tried the menu items Negroni and one other that was a little spicy both were delicious and a reasonable price. Industry City now has pretty much everything you could want. Friendly staff here too plus there is a tasting room.

    I live in Chicago and spent a lot of my life in Baltimore. This bar is literally on every other…read moreblock in these cities. But to fair as much as love both cities this is an oasis in NYC. In my day drinking experience I couldn't ask for better. Great music. No food. Food messes up and an old man bar. Chips mixed nuts and maybe pickled eggs. Anything after that and it's a restaurant. Sunny's did not step over the restaurant line. Quiet and competent bar tending. Just perfect. Customers are what I would describe as people that would have never have been seen in a place like this 30 years ago. Furthermore they aren't additive. In the same period of time in either Chicago or Baltimore I would have made 5 life long friends for the day. Not one single word for the patrons. Just because I don't have the Gen Z mustache/clothes doesn't mean I don't have meaningful thoughts. I would take a bar full of stevedores any day. Anyway despite the customers. It's 5 stars. Worth the ride.

    Wow. This might be one of my favorite bars! Open since 1890, it's full of rich history and has…read moreclearly been a neighborhood staple for generations. I'm so glad I got the chance to go. The energy was incredible--definitely the kind of local spot where people come to relax and hang out like it's their second home. The drinks were fantastic, and I loved that they offered such a wide variety. They even had regular hot tea if you wanted something non-alcoholic, plus a whole range of other NA options. The space itself is amazing and surprisingly spacious, with outdoor seating as well. I didn't get to catch the live music this time, but they have it every night! I'll definitely be back :) P.S. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM in the back.

When we walked in, we got the warmest welcome from her. Her name is Debbie. I have a 10yrs old also and she immediately started having a conversation with her. When she sat us in the dinning room, she let us know there were 2 servers for the night with a 1 bus boy. She mentioned them by name and I loved that. We were attended to by Keith. He was such a gem. He recommended so really great choices for us. This is what we had. For drinks, my husband and my son had the Red Hook which they loved. I don't drink so I had the Captain Jack Mocktail. Appetizers- Seafood Tower and Rhode Island Calamari. OMG the calamari is a must try. It has a little kick but you will thank me later. I little heat never hurt nobody. Dinner- we all shared the Gala Apple Salad, Porter House, Linguini and Clams, Lundy's Potatoes, and Mac and Cheese. Dessert- The Butterscotch Sundae my daughter hogged, and the Lundy's Huckleberry Pie. Now let me tell you. I do not eat huckleberry pie, but that one, I could not believe how tasty. The crust was hard and sweet and the filling had the right flavor. Not too sweet or tart. All throughout dinner my husband and my son kept saying how great the food was. It was truly amazing and the service was great, with only 3 working and staying attentive to several tables. I would definitely come back. Maybe for a girls night next time.

    The original Lundy's was part of my youth and I'm happy see a new generation of this restaurant…read more Food and service was great. It's a bit of a hidden location and I hope more folks will find this restaurant.
