Nice bar with an interesting history. Beer draft list is great and the service on point. Does tend to get crowded at happy hour - but people having a beer/drink enjoying life - it's worth the adventure. Tried the fries - nice and crispy! Also a Samual Adams IPA - very good IPA with citrus notes. read more

Faces and Names is a good spot for a drink and bar food. They have a couple of beers on tap and a couple of bottle choices. They have plenty of mocktails and cocktails to pick from as well. I tried their hamburger and it was classic bar food. read more

Stopped in for some late night drinks and bites with my coworkers. The business was so busy for a Tuesday night! We were able to be seated in a cozy corner of the venue. The menu was extensive with all kinds of food and drink options available. Our server was great, very polite, very helpful! Would definitely come back for late night antics whenever im in NYC again! read more

I went to Faces and Names for happy hour while in NYC for work and this establishment is a very cute hidden gem. It was getting busy when our party of 7 arrived and we were escorted to a comfortable spot in the back. The drinks were good but the service was kind of slow. I would definitely give them another try the next time I'm in the area. read more

This is a nice weather review. Why go to a rooftop bar and pay rooftop prices when you can get fresh air and a nice drink. When the weather gets nice, this place gets a whole new review from the perspective of someone who appreciates nice weather. The service is excellent. As long as you have a group consensus, you can get them to open up the windows. It has the same feeling as a rooftop bar, with a closer view of pedestrians. It makes for a good people watching spot. The food here isn't the main draw, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. As far as low key bars go, this place deserves an A+. Even on a Monday. Jayne and Taylor will hook you up. They are amazing. I love this place and I think you will too. read more

We came to this restaurant while in New York. We started with a portion of pretzel bites with mustard and some adult beverages. The pretzels were baked and not fried which is the sign of a good appetizer! The server was attentive to our needs. The restaurant was not too loud which was perfect for conversation with my husband especially after the hustle and bustle outside. The food was great! I thoroughly enjoyed my ground beef sliders and he loved his chicken sandwich. I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially if the line is down the street at Ellen's Stardust Diner. read more

What a hip and divey bar in Midtown! It stays open late, so you can keep the party going all night long. I was starving after walking the streets of NYC, but luckily the bartender at my hotel suggested I check out this spot. And boy, am I glad I did! I grabbed a spot at the bar and vibed out for the rest of the night. I was having so much fun that I came back the next night too! I just couldn't get enough of this place. On the first night, I ordered my go-to Tito's and cranberry, along with a buffalo chicken wrap and fries with a side of honey mustard for dipping. The bar food was so tasty and hit the spot perfectly. The next night, I wanted to try the mini tacos, but the gentleman next to me offered me a few of his wings because he couldn't eat them all. I couldn't resist! I tried their buffalo wings and they were amazing. The spice and flavor were just right, and the wings were the perfect size. I washed it all down with another Tito's and cranberry and enjoyed the music and people watching. This place is just so cool and the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good time in New York! read more

We were looking for a spot to grab food before heading to Radio City Music Hall for a concert. This bar is located just a few blocks away, a quick 10 min walk. We tried the Fried Mozzarella Balls which my niece loved. Reminded her of a mozzarella stick. The Fresh cut French fries are one of the best, seriously super good crispy yet soft fries. I tried the Mini burgers without a bun, they were pretty good, but were missing the pickles that it was suppose to come with. I'm sure these are delicious with their potato bun, sadly not gluten free. The Mini Mushroom Tacos are fire, be sure to try these. They only come on flour tortillas, so definitely not gluten free. The food was really good! A great spot for dinner! The cocktails are delicious too! I had a spicy Margarita and a spicy Paloma! The service is fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming. Great vibes, played fun music, and pretty spacious. This bar is kid friendly until 8pm. I would definitely recommend this spot for food and drinks, it was an overall great experience. read more

Great bartenders, we always stop by here when we are in the city. If you are lucky you might also run into Charles Barkley here.

We were seated right away. Server also came over right away. Food showed up fast and was great. Didn't blow our socks off but no complaints. Loved the atmosphere, not too loud. Would love to go back. read more

I can definitely see how a place like this can be used for a gathering with friends! The inside of this bar/restaurant is very spacious, and there are different types of seats available (stools/seats). They have a separate room in the back that had cozy seats, where you can relax. This spot is located conveniently in the city, so it is easy to get to via public transportation. The drinks i tried were more on the sweet side, so if this is your type of drink, you will definitely enjoy it. I actually enjoyed the drinks since sweet drinks are my thing, especially Bubble Butt! They also serve beers on tap, and you can order a tower of beer as well if you want to share it amongst your friends. The food they served were typical bar foods like onion rings, burgers, wings, and etc. The onion rings were nicely battered and crispy. I also really enjoyed the mini chicken tacos as well. They also have different desserts as well. I don't know about you, but carrot cakes definitely hit the spot for me. I like how it was not dry. The staff was very friendly during the time I visited. Everything ordered came correctly, and it was delicious. I would come here for a light bite and some drinks as it is on the pricier side. read more

Cocktails. Yum. Great to sit at the bar and find your favorite faces. Service is accommodating and excellent. Will return.

Ambiance - 3/5 Plain n simple but clean Food - 3.75/5 based on what I got Service - 4/5 We stopped here to watch the super bowl as it was close to our hotel. They had superb bowl specials and a available seats so it was a win for us. I asked the bartender what was good to eat ans he said the tacos. They did not disappoint! Loved them and it was a GOOD! portion. I don't know what else is good but for my first time I was quite satisfied! read more

This restaurant wasn't as good as my friend raved it to be. First off this guy kept harassing my friends and I after we sat down. Not the restaurant fault at all, but it was still annoying! Our server had no clue what bourbon/whiskeys they sold. Like learn the menu on your day off. The food was just ok, typical bar food. They had plenty of TVs to watch the game on. So that was a plus. The manager was very nice and checked on us through out the night. The ambiance was great when it gets warmer again for outdoor seating or patio seating. Overall it's a good place to catch a quick bite. read more

Had a great time at this bar. Popped in for a quick app and drink and it didn't disappoint. The pretzel bites were yummy and the club was delicious. The service was fantastic and the restaurant was full of fun things to look at. read more

This place has so many drinks and plenty of options for a casual lunch or dinner with friends! The drinks are a bit on a sweeter side but really like the ones with the citrus. For apps I really liked the portion of mini tacos which is great for sharing and as usual wings are always a win. The fries and burger were pretty standard and filling. I was surprised by one of their cake slices that was very tasty and flavorful compared to the other two kinds. The chocolate was the best and richest. Service was nice, the lady who handled our party of 7 was really patient with us and made sure we got everything. The ambience is pretty relaxed and the back area is really nice and much more open than the front area. This place really is ideal for apps and drinks! with a group of 4-5! read more

During my friends and I quick trip to New York we were recommended this place by a staff member at our hotel. The restaurant was dimly lit. A nice size bar and a good amount of tables to dine at. We sat at the bar and was served promptly. My buffalo chicken wrap was ok not the best in my opinion. The fries were perfectly seasoned. I did try my friend quesadilla and it was very good! The drinks were good and strong! If I am back in the city I will definitely return! read more

This was an unexpected hit. We saw an 8pm show on Broadway, walked back to our Thompson hotel one block over, and needed a quick bite to eat around 11pm. Our concierge suggested Faces & Names. Sounded weird but ok... so off we were! Pleasantly surprised by this spot. A few seats out on the sidewalk at high tops, a hopping bustling bar area and a secondary seating in back with a wood mantled fireplace, moody contemporary lighting and highly inventive portrait art is what we got. Looked like an old English pub. Our waitress was ok- friendly enough but got my order wrong - forgot to add chicken to my Cobb and it had olives which I asked for without - but otherwise the meal was good for midnight fare. My hubs ordered their famous mini chicken tacos. Super good. Bite-sized and great portion size with nine. Food was good and ambiance was awesome. Nice late night spot in this area around several hotels. Far away from the madness that is Times Square. read more

Faces and Names was great. Service and food was excellent. It is lively and fun. We will return.

Great food. Tacos were so good. Buffalo chicken wrap excellent. Drink were good but not mind blowing. Good vibe. Not too crowded for a Friday. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a hot minute because one day I figured I would check it out if I was ever in the area. That day was today. I was in the area to meet friends and decided to come here solo after our reunion. I like it. Not too busy, but def sat near bros who felt the need to loudly advertise their traveling experiences as validation and badges of honor. Annoying... and clearly don't live here because when you do discuss travel it requires an elegance and ease, not a parade of checkmarks (talk about spotting tourists in broad daylight). Regardless of that noise, place is great and bartender was very cool. Such a chill spot for this area during the daytime. read more

Had a couple of wonderful evenings here while in town for a conference. Had a perfectly lovely buffalo chicken wrap but the bartenders and the other patrons were fantastic. Sometimes that can be a challenge in NYC! Fun little spot with televisions to watch the game but certainly not a sports bar. read more

Pretty cool bar and lounge by central park! They have a very tasty assortment of drinks. They are a bit pricey though averaging 16-17 dollars. A few of them can also be very sweet which isn't what I was into but the Goldrush cocktail was my jam. It had a nice subtle hint of honey and a delicious bourbon kick. The appetizers I had were fantastic. My favorite were the sliders. It was cooked to a nice medium rare and felt very filling. It wasn't one of those flat pattie sliders, this had a good bite to it. Mini tacos were very crunchy and gobbled up in one bite. Onion rings were also very satisfying. I had a burger for the main entree and it was a hefty one. It's definitely a solid burger. I was only able to finish half unfortunately. The burger, weirdly was over done. I expected it to be the same perfect doness as the sliders but was slightly disappointed. Nonetheless it was a great experience! read more

Underwhelmed with the entire experience (other than their fun Halloween decor). Went for a business discussion and they sat us at a table in the back with uneven seat heights. This is definitely bar atmosphere and bar food - don't expect anything more than below average. We got the slider sampler, fried shrimp, and mozzarella balls to share. I had a caprese salad for dinner (which was doused in dressing). None of the food met my expectations. read more

We went for an afternoon drink and some appetizers. The place was calm and nice, at least when we went. The bartender and the waiter were very nice! The service has always been good, the food is solid, and the pricing for the area is very reasonable. I highly recommend it here! read more

Came here with a group of friends for some drinks and bar food. It's a cool place to hang out, but in terms of food and drinks, I think otherwise. We got to try out various cocktails, but most of the drinks were super sugary for my liking. Food-wise, we split a variety of items, including Stack of Onion Rings ($9), Mini Chicken Tacos ($19), Mini Burgers ($14), and Wings ($17). Overall, they were pretty standard bar food. Only the Mini Chicken Tacos stood out to me. I also got an order of the Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($16) for my entree. I could have done without the celery. read more

I've been to this well-known place three times so far, and it's undeniably a great spot. The food is ... good, with a diverse menu that caters to various preferences. Cocktails are crafted very well, regardless of the cocktail that I received; it just wasn't for me. This place still does offers a satisfying range of options. Service does its very best at being attentive, even during busy hours, though securing a seat can be a challenge due to its popularity. The ambiance is vibrant, creating a lively atmosphere. While it's a fantastic place, I must admit it's not exactly my cup of tea. Nonetheless, if you enjoy a bustling and energetic scene, Faces and Names is a must-visit in New York City! read more
