I reserved a table at Milady's for a very special occasion and they were spectacular. The team was super responsive and flexible. The food and drinks were fantastic. If you're considering something special and need a place to celebrate, Milady's is the spot! read more

I was searching for a bar that was open on an early weekday afternoon in my area. I happened to find this spot to be one of the very few open at the time so I walked over and felt like I went back in time. This spot is so retro starting with the disco balls and menus and pointing out the music. The bartender was so warm and welcoming instantly. She managed to whip up our drinks and push them out so swiftly. The cocktails themselves were delicious! The apple martini which is called something else on the menu (I forgot) was sour yet very fruity and yummy. The espresso martini was so rich, chocolatey, and perfectly sweet. I know, you have to know: the bathrooms are single person bathrooms and honestly has the coolest wallpaper for your quick bathroom/selfie breaks! I'll leave that for your figuring. read more

Obsessed with this little place! Amazing food, drinks and service. It does get busy and it's small but they have some overflow on the sidewalk to get some sun. Overall a wonderful experience. read more

Milady's has quickly become one of my go-to local bars! The staff is always super friendly, and both the drinks and food are great. It's not the cheapest spot, but prices are fair for Greenwich Village. Their happy hour is solid, but I'm especially a fan of their signature cocktails (even though they're not included). The Spinach Artichoke Dip and Brussels sprouts are must-orders -- honestly, everything I've tried here has been delicious! read more

I really liked the ambience of this place. It felt like what a 90s bar seems like it would feel like with music from late 90s and early 2000s. The drinks were really good! Definitely a good place for a quick drink read more

I just saw another review that said they came because Milady's is on the world's best bar list. I did not know this was a thing, and while the experience was good, I would not say this is one of the world's best bars. I would say service was attentive. I got in immediately on a Wednesday night, greeted with a smile, even though it was miserably cold due to the door opening and closing (nothing to be done about it). I just had the pretzel, with cheese dip and whole grain mustard. The pretzel was soft, but not too soft, portion was great for sharing, and the dips were tasty. For drinks, I got: Window Treatment (tequila, hibiscus, basil, lime, the pathfinder amaro, and tonic) as well as Get Off My Lawn (ford's gin, muyu Jasmin vert, lemon, black currant, and pink peppercorn). Both drinks were light, refreshing. I would not call them "world's best bar" level, but still good. They have a variety of other cocktails. Light and bubbly, using aperol, sherry, rum, grey goose. Whiskey highballs in various combinations. Jell-O shots. Cocktails they call "shaken and citrusy," which is where I got the Window Treatment and Get Off My Lawn. They also have flavors/spirits of rum, cranberry, rye, fig, vermouth, pear brandy. They have a "spirit forward" section with a few martinis, a Negroni, and old fashioned, and a bourbon/sherry drink. They have beer and wine as well. As far as food, it's mostly American/bar bites. Oysters, broccoli cheddar soup, chopped or chickpea salad. I had the sourdough pretzel, which as I said, was pretty good. They have shrimp cocktail, Brussels sprouts, spinach stuffed mushrooms (I did eye these), kale and artichoke dip, loaded potato skins. Entrees are chicken tenders, shrimp lettuce wraps, a house burger and veggie burger, grilled chicken on flatbread, and chorizo Mac n cheese, which can be made vegetarian. It's a cute place with a fun disco ball, a decorative bar, good service, decent food and drink. I wouldn't go here for a regular dinner or an event. But for after work drinks and snacks or a first date, sure. read more

A wonderful spot for a late night bite and yummy cocktails (or mocktails). I opted for the non alcoholic spritz which was delightful and absolutely scratched the itch for a craft cocktail without the added booziness. The menu was diverse, it feels like the kind of place where there's something for everyone, especially if you are in the mood for a late night sweet treat because that blondie was delish! We also tried the sourdough pretzel which came with a yummy beer cheese and a grain mustard. I'm not in NYC often but I would love to come back next time I'm in town because this was a perfect spot for a weekday nightcap. Excellent service, lovely ambiance, and delicious food--this place hit the trifecta! read more

Okay, call me nitpicky, but the bright purple lights at this place are frankly fugly and distasteful. We paid 60 (not inc. tip) for 2 drinks and 2 jello shots (which were 9 dollars each). 9 dollars! For jello shots! You gotta be kidding me. Also, the service took a long time. The drink I got was really good though, my boyfriend's, not so much. I wish I could remember what I got, but this place was so forgettable and disappointing that the memory escapes me at this junction. read more

The ambiance here is really cute and the bar seating is nice. They have an area with smaller velvet chairs that I liked. The bartender and staff were really friendly. The drinks were okay. I ordered an espresso martini that was just okay. The food...from what I ordered needs work. I will say the oyster shooter was good...the half order of oysters were ok...but the salmon lettuce wrap was awful. Overcooked, overly salty and honestly tasted really fishy. I had one bite and sent it back. We then ordered the chicken handwich which is a mini pita chicken schwarma. This was also super salty and really dry and way too much hot sauce. My mouth was on fire by the end of eating it. Not a fan of what I ordered at all. If I go back it will only be for basic drinks. read more

You have to appreciate a place that sells retro with a disco ball, Christmas lights and cross generational music - but damn it works. Backed up by a bar serving delicious cocktails, including a strictly delicious daiquiri, this is what I want my basement bar to feel like. I sampled the burger which is a spot-on homage to what makes a great burger - toppings. Heavy lettuce, a yummy mayo sauce, sweet pickles (surprisingly yummy) and a sharp red onion to help. The fries are fluffy on the inside and crisp outside with no need to remind me of which vegetable I am partaking, crispy through and through. A great find and one that will get a return visit, As Freddy is singing me off, I think I'll curl up in a pink velvet booth. read more

5 stars for being my favorite martini HH spot. Monday through Thursday from 4-6pm, in a gorgeously done, pink velvet type of space. I almost always grab the martini ($14) but will occasionally grab the non-HH menu of cocktails because they're just so fun. Think marshmallows, Coca-Cola, egg whites (those are not necessarily in the same drink...!). Great waitstaff, great vibes - can get crowded for HH, so keep that in mind. read more

Overpriced drinks, too loud, cramped, slow service. No one at door to great, no sign that says wait to be seated.

I'm totally good to say I came here bc I saw this place on the World's Best Bars list. Loves: + The bar food is good. I loved the crab mac & cheese ($24) and chicken tenders ($22). + Drinks are good ($16-22) + Staff is kind and attentive + Cute ambiance inside Milady's is near my old work area so I wish I had known about it then! While it does not dazzle me the way some of the others bar on World's Best does, it's still delightful. :) read more

Came here on a Friday night at 8:45 and the place was packed but not crazy. There were no open tables available and no seats at the bar, but me and my boyfriend were fortunate enough to only have to wait a few minutes before a kind lady and her friend tapped us on the shoulder to let us know she was leaving and we could have her table! We sat immediately after that and our table was wiped down and our server was so kind and attentive. I got the Milady Martini, moon Prism Power and the La Fiera. Highly recommend the Milady Martini and La fiera if you like your drinks on the stronger side. I had the Moon Prism Power in between the two as a sweet break. We didn't get food but I would definitely come back here again. Every time someone got up to leave, another person was immediately ready to take their spot. This place doesn't have a line but it's definitely a place to be as there's a few people always lingering by the door, waiting for a spot. read more

This is a drinky spot. Cute, fun, tasty and strong drinks. Great vibes and spot to come with friends! Had the milady spritz, looks and tasted good. Also had something with gin, lychee, lemon grass + more stuff i don't remember in a tall cup with a pineapple, which was tasty and refreshing = nice summer drink. Drinks were like $17-$20 each. But the food is ok, it's more like you'd order something to snack with your drink but not come have dinner here. The loaded potato skins ($18) was good and had the perfect crispy skin, we also ordered the grilled hanger steak on toast ($20) which i found the steak to be jussst right under rare if not some pieces raw, even if cooked right it's still ok. read more

The service is so friendly. The host sat us within 5 minutes. The water from the AC kept dripping on me and luckily there were empty tables so they moved us. The chicken tenders were absolutely delicious- crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The cocktails on the other hand are not very strong. Flavorful but not potent. Our server was very attentive. It's a fabulous ambiance with comfort food. read more

Wow, Julie Reiner has done it again. Everything she turns out is spectacular. Not only mixology-wise, but her bars also seem to all have perfectly curated vibes, though they're all different than one another. Milady's is a bar that could easily exist in Brooklyn, but it's smack dab in the middle of swanky SoHo. That said, the crowd is definitively SoHo, given their aesthetic and proclivity for designer bag. But somehow, it's not pretentious. It's refined yet funky and fun, the bartenders work swiftly and tend to be super friendly, and at prime time it's as busy as any bar in the city, despite the fact that people don't tend to go to SoHo to "go out" in the way that most younger New Yorkers conceive of going out. Milady's has made itself a destination once again, and one well worth going out of your way for. We came here at around 10/10:15 on a Saturday night after getting dinner nearby. It was packed when we got there and there were a few parties waiting by the door. However, the hostess told us we could stand around behind the bar and the grab the first two seats that opened up, which luckily for us, happened within about five minutes. Not saying that's a guarantee for you, but there's a good amount of bar seating here. The Milday's drink menu (we only came for drinks, can't speak to the food) is unique in that the ABV for each cocktail is noted next to the name of each drink. I honestly think that this should become the norm, as sometimes a drink may look light or spirit-forward when you look at ingredients, but in actuality the strength may be different than expected (for example, a "punch" may seem like it will be boozy, but it's predominately liqueur/apertif-based). Where my own preferences are concerned, I like to try as much as I can on a menu without getting drunk, and this type of menu helps me to order strategically. I ended up going with boozier drinks, but that was my informed choice. To start, I got the Milady's Martini (fords gin, rose vermouth, fino sherry, santoni amaro) while my husband got the Hawaiian Iced Tea (grey goose l'orange, pisco, lilikol, tropical black tea, lemon, perrier). The martini was excellent -- delicate with some fruit notes, served in cute glassware with half of it left to sit over ice (a touch I always appreciate). The iced tea was a lower-ABV drink that was definitely tropical but very well-balanced and not overly sweet. For our second round, I got the Big Apple Martini (bombay sapphire, skyy vodka, apple brandy, green apple) and my husband got the Prince of Darkness (rum blend, oloroso sherry, falernum, don's mix, lime, bitters). This martini looked like it could be crass (for some reason that's the most fitting adjective I have to describe my expectation) and weird, but it was delicious. Definitely boozy. The Prince of Darkness was much more interesting than I expected -- it also had some tropical vibes but the flavors were cleaner and more pronounced than many tropical drinks. read more

nice bar/restaurant, good happy hour deals, solid cocktails, decent oysters. try the pb&j shooters

Stopped by with a friend for a late night drink. Good to know that kitchen last call is around 12:30 (and food menu looked great). We each had a cocktail - which their menu has quite the selection (and fun addition of respective ABV on it). I got the small sized martini and buddy got the apple brandy drink (both were delicious!). Service was great and attentive, and the ambiance was fun - reminded me of a 70s themed bar. Next time may opt for the martini flight to try all three. read more

Random find and loved it! Will definitely go back :) This was NYE and the cocktails were simple fantastic. Service was amazing as well! We only stayed for an hour and a half and did not get a chance to try their food but will do so next time Their milady martini was strong, flavors complimenting each other and really a robust drink. They even have an empty bowl thing for the olive pit. I appreciate these little gestures Best part: they have "cheeky" sized portions if you want to limit your drink portions for whatever reason!

Let me preface this by saying- if I could give 3.5 stars, I would! I came here for an after-work drink after walking past it a few times. Interior is really cute, so I figured why not check it out? Drinks were good, I thought that the big apple martini was particularly fun because of the edible glitter. The red pepper dip was decent too. That said, I didn't feel like the drinks and dip were particularly worth the price point. While I'm glad I tried it, I'm not sure I'll be rushing back. read more

Very cool, stylish bar. We came for a few drinks and had a great time. Very friendly knowledgeable waiter and cool decor (a bit retro and modern at the same time). Bloody opportunities and Joe the big old fashioned were loved. I had the coucou bananas, which had great flavor but too strong on the alcohol for me (the others with me thought it was great, I'm just a light weight). Also got the chocolate peanut butter blonde to share and it was excellent, highly recommend! read more

I enjoyed my time there! The decor is super cute, kinda like a sexy sixties type of place? I could be totally off but it was still cool! The drinks were great, I got the snackerie and it was soooooo tasty. It's mostly rum but definitely easy on the pallet so if you want something easy to drink get that for sure! Our waitress was also super sweet and greeted us with a smile every time she ran by us. But my favorite thing about this place was the music. They played the late 90s and early 00s hits and I was in love. It pretty much catered to the crowd since the age group there is late 20s to early 40s or something like that. Super fun spot. read more

I didn't know there was such a thing as an elevated dive bar, but that's the current incarnation of Milady's. It maintains an unfussy vibe but don't let the casual nature deceive you--the drinks are excellent and the food is more solid than a typical dive bar. read more

I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. Food is great! Make sure you ask about specials that aren't on the menu. Half of us had the unlisted Mussels, and they were just great! Service too, was great. Attentive, good humored, and tolerant. We had a reservation for 8... eleven of us showed up... they just helped moving tables. Lots of seafood here... and unique dishes (salmon and avocado appetizer, for example). No wonder it gets so crowded. It's busy in the evening (especially the weekend) and just post-brunch, starting around 3PM. Smallish place so if you go during the rush without a reservation, you might get stuck. The only problem... and not their fault... is that if you like to eat outside, they cannot rearrange the tables. The sidewalk is sloped and they're rightly concerned that someone might tip over. read more

I love supporting a woman owned business and I came here on a Friday evening to celebrate my birthday, for post dinner drinks. We were seated in a smaller booth at first, and then got a table closer to the window (to fit our entire party). It's pretty spacious, considering every table was full that night, but we didn't feel all that cramped! Service is impeccable and every single cocktail was delicious. I especially loved the Sin on Wheels and The Remedy. We also got four jello shots -- and I really liked the Paloma one. It's been ages since I've had jello shots! Oh and bring your phone with you to the bathroom, the wallpaper is awesome lol. I'll most definitely be back again in the future, this is a great cocktail bar! read more
