I wish we had more time to loiter & drink, but we could only squeeze in a single round. I got a mezcal margarita with extra, extra salt on the rim, & my friend got a draught IPA. Tasty & well executed. The bartender was kinda rude in the way you want your bartender to be. There was plenty to look at on the walls, ceiling, floor.

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.

Puffy's Tavern has been a longtime favorite of mine and remains one of Tribeca's most authentic…read moreold-school bars. Founded in 1945 and located on Hudson Street, it has managed to hold onto its unpretentious, slightly divey charm in a neighborhood that's changed dramatically over the years. This isn't a cocktail bar, but you can still get a perfectly solid Negroni if that's what you're craving, along with a good selection of tap beers and classic, reasonably priced drinks by Tribeca standards. It's the kind of place where the bar comes first and the frills are intentionally absent. The real standout, though, is the food--especially the Italian sandwiches. Made with high-quality cured meats like prosciutto and soppressata and fresh mozzarella, they're among the best bar lunches downtown. Favorites include the Gladiator, the Matteo, and the Marina. In the evenings, they also offer bar pizzas, wings, and jalapeño poppers, which are ideal with a beer. The atmosphere is pure vintage New York: tin ceilings, a long wooden bar, copper-topped tables, and a lived-in feel that can't be manufactured. There's a proper dartboard setup in the back--one of the few left in the area--which adds to the neighborhood tavern vibe. It's also generally dog-friendly, especially later in the day. Crowds are typical: local regulars and blue-collar workers during the day, and a younger, livelier crowd at night and on weekends. It can get busy, but that's part of the appeal. If you're looking for a genuine Tribeca institution with history, great sandwiches, fair prices, and zero pretension, Puffy's Tavern still delivers. Fun fact: Changing Lanes (2002) and Anamorph (2007) both had scenes shot at Puffy's Tavern.

It's a super good deal and a huge lobster, so I'd definitely recommend visiting on Mondays if you can. They also allow you to swap out the beer for something reasonable like a Diet Coke! The staff was very kind despite it being overwhelmingly crowded on Monday with a line of individuals looking to enjoy their Lobster deal. If you're going alone and don't mind sitting at the bar, you will be seated faster than groups looking for a table, so I'd definitely recommend checking to see if bar seating is available so you could quickly be seated and served!

Probably the worst food I've had in manhattan to date. We got the shaved steak sandwich which was awful. The steak was somehow raw (we asked for medium well) and rubbery and overly chewy all at the same time. Also tasted like it was seasoned with a pinch of salt and nothing else. The caesar salad was abysmal. They make their own dressing which is usually a good thing but that was not the case here. The dressing tasted like anything but caesar. We told the waitress and asked for new entrees because we couldn't even take another bit of either. We chose chicken tenders and a burger because we figured you can't mess that up. Well.... The burger was also pretty terrible and the chicken tenders tasted of old oil. Now one would think if food isn't their strong suit, maybe they make up for it in their drinks. WRONG. Moscow Mule was not in a copper cup. Instead it was out of a plastic cup made to look like copper. It also tasted like flavored water. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the waitresses gave us new food (also bad) and we're apologetic but it's not their fault. Don't come here for anything other than a beer since they can't mess that up
