    We stopped in here for a quick drink and the bartenders were super friendly. That's have pool for anyone interested in playing and TV's to watch the game. It's a great bar for pregame drinks!

    Bull McCabe's has always been good to me. Whenever I find myself stuck in the rain and on St. Marks Place I end up at Bull McCabe's. They always have some kind of happy hour special going no matter the time of day. A true dive bar with fantastic indoor and outdoor spring, summer, and fall seating. Although I've never tired the food the drinks are always perfectly made and I'll keep returning as long as Bull McCabe's doors are open!

    Nice bar..one pool table

    bouncer after crushing my hand / pouring alcohol in my eyes.

    I was here to celebrate my irish friends birthday. I walked in sober, carrying my friends open container. the bouncer asked for my id and let me inside before telling me i couldn't have outside drinks. he never asked me to leave. I told him i was sorry, forgot i had it, and started waving to my girlfriend to let her know i was going outside to toss her drink. the bouncer caught my hand and started crushing it with his grip and started shoving me. I raised the bev to defend myself, he took it and poured it in my face/ eyes as he held me. After, the female bar staff came to basically smirk as i started to cry and accuse me of provoking what happened. It was a pretty scary night, not a happy birthday for my friend. i'm a 21 year old girl.

    It is what it is. And it's a dive bar. So I guess that's A-OK. I haven't been here at night, but a group of us were in search of some Easter Sunday post-brunch digestive relaxing in the sun with a beer in hand. We walked from Union Square before we came across Bull McCabe's. The slightly sub-terrainian, below street level outdoor seating is perfect for sitting in the Spring afternoon sun. It's also great for viewing the funky Saint Mark's Square crowd strolling by. And it IS funky, even in the daytime. If you rather be in the dark watching a game or shooting pool, you have that option. The rest room is small, the urinals spaced about 2 inches apart with no dividers, and behind the door. You could get smashed into the urinal if someone opens the door too fast. Everything is covered in graffiti and stickers, or slaps if you will. Very divey and goes with the place. But, $5 for a bigger-than-a-pint of Hoegaarden draft, and I was happy on a slow Easter afternoon.

    Amazing bartender Jenna! She makes great drinks and is simply awesome. If you're a tourist, grab a local draft. If you're a local, grab your usual stool. Great atmosphere.

    Good low key bar. Reasonable drink prices and not too crowded on weeknights. Surrounded by tons of restaurants.

    The Spaniard is a spot for a real drink if you're in the mood…read more I've been here a few times. The last time was a couple of weeks ago, were in town for the weekend. After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

    Well if this isn't a perfect late night destination in NYC, I don't know what is! A last minute…read morewhim landed me in NYC on Holiday Eve 2024 and I needed a meal. Walking through the cold streets, I stumbled upon The Spaniard which has quickly become one of my favorite NY destinations! We were there for a quick 30 hour trip to experience the "Holiday Magic". After a long day of travel, we just needed something good. We arrived and they accommodated us in a back booth tucked behind the bar, perfect! Our waiter was a delight and very responsive. The martini was kick-ass and our waiter was kind enough to offer us many recommendations. We landed on Charbroiled Oysters, Steak Tartare, and French Onion Dip. Someone slap me, I'm drooling while I write this review over a year later. Seriously, phenomenal. Every bite was amazing! We cleared the table and manged a few cocktails during our time with The Spaniard. If you are ever in the West Village, stop by, you won't be sorry! Thanks me later, actually!

The owners were milling around making sure everyone was well taken care of and the wait staff were kind and personable. Now the food...AMAZING!!! Every bite we took was wonderful and so surprising with creative combinations and gorgeously presented. The restaurant itself was hip and refined and seemed to be the happening spot of the night. We will certainly be back!

    Met up with friends here for dinner before a show near Washington square. It wasn't super crowded…read morewhen we arrived around 6pm (maybe due to the extreme cold that day) but started filling up gradually. I loved the ambiance and decor, very cozy. As for food, there were some true hits but most of the food was good but basic. The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.
