    4 cheese mac and cheese
    Yulaidi S.

    Bumped into this place walking around looking for somewhere to eat. They had available seating so my friend and I went in and got seated right away. First thing I noticed was the smell. It smelled to me like urine in a subway at the place but my friend said it was a fishy smell. I don't like fish so maybe it just smelled like urine to me and someone just ordered something with fish that was horrible to me. The smell is honestly the only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 just cause it was a really bad smell for me. The service overall was good. We first were served by a guy then later towards the end of the meal im guessing a shift change happened and we got a girl. Both were nice and checked on us randomly. As for food all I got was deviled eggs and the mac and cheese. But both were delicious. Almost made me forget about the piss smell. I highly recommend their deviled eggs as a snack. And even though the mac and cheese is advertised as a starter, it's super filling. It's also nice to finally have a mac and cheese that is more cheesy than creamy. The cheese pull for it was great. Overall great experience and I'd come back to this place on my next NY visit. Hopefully no one orders fishy food again though.

    Little Irish bar in the lower West Side. Had a small group event here, reserved spot in the back. Bar and sports on TV, snacks like sliders, pigs in a blanket, and veggie tray (the pita was rather dry but the hummus was good). Draft beers for $9. Service was efficient, and they had a dedicated server handling our section.

    Guacamole & chips

    Stopped in for a drink & got the aperol spritz and the guac & ships. Both were very good the chips had really good seasoning on them. Quick service & plenty of seating

    The Hound Burger

    Stopped by the other day to grab dinner with friends and this place was ROCKIN. The vibes were amazing, the food was incredible and our drinks were also awesome. The hound burger was one of the better burgers I've ever had and the fries were also elite. I got a whiskey sour that was delicious. Not to mention, the waiters were very attentive and welcoming.

    Perfect on a dark, rainy, winter weeknight. About ten choices for beer on tap with a great food menu. I had the butternut squash and leek risotto which they were able to leave the mushrooms out of and my partner had the turkey burger! We shared the deviled eggs as a starter. The service was stellar! Our table was frequently checked on and everyone was very friendly. A warm, woody interior with a dining area separate from the bar area. Will return!!

    Vibe. Inside view from outside.

    Had brunch there recently. It was also my first time to try English breakfast. Who said British ppl only have fish and chips -- the full English breakfast was healthy and delicious!! At around $20 I got tons of different things: poached eggs,rashers (Irish bacon), sausage, roasted tomato, sauteed mushrooms, black&white pudding, potato cake, baked beans and soda bread. I also asked for more mushrooms; surprisingly they gave me more for free. Among all the things, I enjoyed the baked beans most. It paired very well with the soda bread, which was less fluffy than usual toast. Juts dip the bread and have it. Sour-sweet, full of flavor. The rashers were also good. It was thicker and contained less fat than usual bacon. I also like the potato cake. The balck&white pudding was interesting to me as it was salty and crispy. I asked my server about its ingredient, unfortunately she did not know about it. Besides, service was a bit slow, possibly because I was the first to dine there on that day. I sat outside for the brunch. The outside dining area of this restaurant was kinda cramped and not very comfortable to have food. I may dine inside next time. So in general this experience of English breakfast was great, but it would be perfect if the service and seating are better.

    I literally only popped in here to have some sticky toffee pudding but it was so delicious. If you're craving something sweet like this in the neighborhood, highly recommend. Service was lovely. The bartender was super friendly. Seems like a very happy local spot. I have this place bookmarked for brunch, so I'll be back! 4/5

    Love the Spinach and Mushroom Empanadas. Not feeling the chimi sauce- too much onions
    Angelina R.

    Great beer selection. The cheeseburgers sliders are bomb! Soooo delicious! Season well, nice meat quality, and cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was surprisingly good too! Spinach/mushroom empanadas were very good but not a fan of the sauce they bring. I just felt the green chimichurri sauce didn't go so well. I didn't like their version of chimichurri either way too much onion. I think a garlic sauce would have gone better maybe even a spicy garlic sauce. Chicken fingers were breaded so well but lacking flavor needed some salt but the chicken dipped in the sweet chili sauce that comes with it helps a lot with flavor. Mashed was good and so was the Guinness gravy. Cute spot!

    The vibe here is live, happy and making me wanna dance. I found this place while hanging out with my friend in west village area. The moment I push the door and go inside, I feel like I go into a different world. Outside is chill and relax. Inside is happy and lousy feeling. It's hard to describe what I see and how I feel. You gotta try it by yourself. The barcode scan feature near the entrance area is pretty nice. I know some restaurant in NY already implemented this feature. I don't have too much impression about the food but the beer here is good. I feel a little tipsy after the visit.

    Somewhat on the pricey side, with smallish portions... Everything else is great. Good food, nice beer selection, the waitstaff is super-helpful, with a sense of humor you can't miss. Great for groups who want to actually talk. No loud music!! (Some loud patrons, but that's the bar's fault!) Pretty inventive with Kobe beef "pigs" in a blanket. And you have a choice of beef, turkey or mushroom and black bean burgers. Somehow they manage to avoid the madhouse atmosphere of the West Village on Saturday night. And we're glad they did.

    This West Village Irish inspired bar and restaurant is very cozy. With friendly service and comfort dishes that range from traditional Irish to modern American classics. We started with a charcuterie board and mezcal cocktails. The cocktail was a spicy rendition of a Last Word and the meats and cheeses were pleasing but nothing out of the ordinary. There were also pigs in a blanket and an impossible burger that a friend really enjoyed. I followed up my cocktail with a glass of red wine that was very delicious. The owner, who was around and was very friendly, suggested it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ended my experience with a dry Manhattan on the rocks and it was well worth the wait until the end. It paired nicely with the Sticky Toffee Pudding that was very decadent to say the least. Overall, I left Hudson Hound feeling full and satisfied. It is definitely a place where I would take friends to gather to talk and laugh. The staff was welcoming and inviting, the management is available and friendly and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing.

    Aperol Spritz
    Grace S.

    I went to Hudson Hound for their happy hour and was BLOWN AWAY!!! There was lots of seating both inside and outside as well as a restroom inside; both a rarity in new york. I chose to sit outside and was greeted almost immediately with with a large glass of water. My aperol spritz came out almost immediately and was divine!!! it tasted almost like juice and I was quite impressed with the portion. I also ordered the sliders which were unbelievably flavorful! Be sure to have a napkin nearby because these are wildly juicy and can make quite the mess but they are scrumptious. I also ordered the sangria which was a bit heavy on the cinnamon for my personal taste, but overall I really enjoyed it. My total before tax and tip was $28 which, considering the size and strength of the drinks, I thought was very reasonable. I was overall thoroughly impressed with this restaurant and highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and relatively cheap happy hour!

    The "Perfect" Pint is apparently a far cry from reality…read more Our server, Ruffino, seemed perfectly cordial at first, but that changed rather quickly when we discovered a 20% automatic gratuity added to our bill without any prior notice. We didn't find out about this little surprise until the check was placed on our table. Nothing like discovering an extra charge at the end of your meal that apparently everyone was supposed to know about except the customers. We went downstairs to the host stand and asked to speak with a manager. We were informed that there was no manager on duty--apparently, just a staff of bartenders. When we questioned the automatic gratuity, we were told that all orders over $100 automatically receive a 20% gratuity. There was just one small problem: we had never been informed of this policy, nor did we see it posted anywhere. We politely asked for the charge to be removed since it had not been disclosed to us. We were told there was "nothing that could be done." Naturally, we then went back to Ruffino and asked to speak with his boss. We were promptly brought the exact same person we had already spoken with downstairs--who then proceeded to tell Ruffino to remove the gratuity. So apparently, there was something that could be done. Good to know. Unfortunately, the situation then went from questionable customer service to outright disrespect. During the interaction, our experience working in the food service industry was insulted, and we were told, and I quote: "I feel bad for whatever establishment you worked for because I know it was S**T. Get the F**K out and never return." Classy. For the record, there were only four people in our party. The establishment's own gratuity guidelines state that a 20% automatic gratuity applies to parties of six or more, not four. So let's recap: * A 20% gratuity was added without being disclosed. * We were told it applied because our order exceeded $100. * We were unable to find this policy posted anywhere. * We were initially told nothing could be done about the charge. * Someone subsequently instructed Ruffino to remove it, proving that something could, in fact, be done. * And when we questioned the situation, we were insulted and told to leave and never come back. Honestly, the last part was the easiest request to accommodate. If "Perfect" is supposed to describe the customer experience here, I'd hate to see what happens at an establishment that's merely average. As for the request to "never return"--don't worry. We won't. Some establishments manage to make that decision remarkably easy for you.

We took a chance and I'm so glad we did. Host & wait staff were super friendly and attentive. I got the Greek Goddess Salad - which was amazing.

Service from the bartender was great. I ordered the fish and chips and a Bloody Mary. Everything was great up till then. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. Maybe it was a deep fat fryer thing, but I respectfully suggest the cook be given a little additional training. The fish batter was hard on the outside, and the fish was completely mushy on the inside. Like, gray mush. The fries were lukewarm. The mushy peas and the tartar sauce were served in little covered plastic disposable containers. I'm not a fan of that, but I get it is convenient. I truly wanted to like this place, and except for my one experience with the food, I would certainly return. People were having fun, and I did as well. I believe if they become a little more attentive in the kitchen, this place is a five star pub.

    I stumbled across this Irish Pub with a Rooftop view of the street by chance looking for a coffee…read moreshop. The rooftop view appealed to me much more than hanging out in a coffee shop. Since my favorite beer is Guinness. Figured it was time to get it while waiting for a friend at the theater nearby. I was glad that the waitress at the bar downstairs was really friendly and gave me directions to take the elevator up to the rooftop. I didn't realize this pub was shared with another pub next door. The elevators was located in between the 2 pubs. While getting to the elevator, it seems there was an attendant that brought guests up on the cozy little elevator. Though, there were no attendants later in the day. The waitress mentioned I could bring my glass up with me to the roof. So I did. Overall, I enjoyed my time overlooking the busy street while sipping my beer.

Bartenders - FIVE of them will ignore tf out of you until they have no choice but to speak to you because some finance bros came and called the bartenders over. Thought it was because I'm a woman but then this older Caucasian woman came to sit next to me and they came to her right away (I'm a woman of color). I even had to flail my arms just to get the tab and I can tell that it's their routine to ignore a certain demographic. I was only here because my friend had to meet up with my work colleagues so I thought I would grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a quick burger before heading out for birthday festivities. The burger and fries were good and the rooftop is nice. I have no desire to return but it's probably what they want.
