    Sebastian Burger

    Brindle Room has long been one of my favorite burger spots in the city. It had been years since my last visit, and I'm happy to report the burger is still excellent, perfectly seasoned, with sautéed onions that make it truly stand out. It's a small space with laid back vibes. Highly recommend if you're craving a great burger downtown.

    Not enough good things can be said about this east village institution. Brindle Room's menu is kept simple because when you do a burger so right, why do anything else. I'm salivating once again just thinking of it. This cozy laid back joint is perfect for a bite and cocktail. A great place to relax.

    I was dragged here and told that it was the "best burger in town". Spoiler alert, it's not really the best burger in town. The server was super sweet, but she was the only person serving the entire restaurant. I felt bad for her because it got really busy and she was handling the bar and all the food by herself. It is small inside, but there were easily 20-30 people. This place has a serving window between the kitchen and the dining area. I would definitely suggest that they change the way they operate and just have a bartender operate the bar and people can go up and get their own orders. Unnecessary to make that girl do all that work alone. Could have been a one off - but we were a party of 5, made a reservation and still waited 1.5 hours for a table because the booth seating was all taken by 2 person groups. I felt bad because we took up space in the bar area waiting for our table. Overall, pretty silly experience.

    Had a wonderful date night at this cozy casual restaurant in the East village. Service and staff were kind and friendly. They have a full bar and made a delicious gin martini. Food menu is very small and the restaurant is known for its burger. See what we ordered below - Chopped salad: very small portion, but simple and refreshing. Don't necessarily think we would order again since it's a really small portion and nothing too special - Burger: Brindle Room is famous for its burger and it did not disappoint. Buttery, melt in your mouth patty cooked to perfection (medium rare) with melted cheese and grilled onions on a soft pillowy potato bun. Served with crispy thick cut fries and pickles. Think this is one of the best burgers we have had in the city. I'd been to this restaurant many years ago at its initial location. The new location on 11th and C is definitely a step up. Much better interior, creating a nice ambiance and providing for much more space. Shervin (think he was the manager) was great and very friendly. Made sure we had an amazing evening.

    Delicious sides and drinks. The Brussels sprouts were so good, even without the tahini sauce it came with. Bacon wrapped dates were the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and even better than ones I have previously had at Boqueria and Socarrat. However, I was underwhelmed by the burger, the main drawback being that it needed more seasoning. Onions and bacon were good, but burger may be better with some kind of sauce and cheddar instead of American. One waitress when we were there, with four tables or so occupied. Also not really feeling the paper folding menus. Would come back to try the steak and other apps.

    Today we went to Brindle Room for the second time in 8 days. I cannot recommend it enough. The first time we went we sat at the bar on a Saturday and enjoyed DELICIOUS and VERY REASONABLY priced cocktails. The "Go" is served ICE COLD and is so good if you like espresso martinis. Today we went for brunch and it was empty? Are you kidding me? If you don't want to wait in line for a BEC or a burger you should try this spot instead. All the sauces here are really good their hot sauce, the sauce on the BEC, and their garlic aioli. TLDR: If you want a good burger, great cocktails, and a cozy vibe please try this spot.

    French Dip with French Fries

    What a great find. Friends took me here for brunch. The space is friendly and rustic. Not fancy but comfortable like sinking into a sofa. Our server was Jake who professional and personable. We started with the pickle chips and Brussels sprouts both were fantastic. I wish I had pictures but we ate them so quickly I forgot. The menu is a little small but I will always defer to a smaller menu executed well over a massive mediocre menu. I had the French dip and it was massive and delicious. I normally skip the au jus as I find them a little bland. This one was delicious and robust. Definitely worth the journey from midtown. I will be back.

    The Brindle Room is an incredible neighborhood restaurant in alphabet city! With cozy and intimate vibes, superb service, and delicious food this place does everything right. Some of the highlights included the steak frites and the burger! With very reasonable prices and extremely friendly staff, it's easy to come to this place routinely!

    Spaghetti Pomodoro
    Camille M.

    I went to Brindle Room a couple years ago before this new location and loved it. We went to visit this place on a Saturday night and were able to call in with a reservation just in case as well. I personally loved the spaghetti pomodoro and the espresso martini, but we also got their steakhouse burger which their known for and I just don't think it lived up to the expectations from when I last had it. Our waiter was nice and we loved how much more bigger it is than the old one. It's unfortunate that I probably won't be coming back for the burger and will be getting the pasta or something else from the menu if I'm ever in the area again.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

I can add mustard to every bite instead of all over the sandwich. My son and I split a pastrami and the beef brisket together to be able to sample at least two types of meats. My wife ordered the half corned beef sandwich with a bowl of French onion soup, so we got to sample a bite of each of those as well. Surprisingly we finished everything and still had room for a home made strawberry cheesecake which was amazing. If I'm being honest, I liked it better than juniors and you can read more of my review of Junior's cheesecakes on their Yelp page.
