    Happy hour menu
    Ginger B.

    Lovely and spacious and has happy hour specials daily. The staff were all great - good service and good recommendations and explanations of the complicated cocktails. We were given popcorn for the table, which is a nice touch. I wish there were more cocktail options for happy hour since I don't drink rum. I don't think any of us ended up taking advantage of the happy hour specials due to the only 2 cocktail options. All our drinks were beautifully presented, delicious and strong. I wish I got a photo of the sofa in the back with Nicholas Cage pillows on it. Hilarious!

    Stopped by on a lovely afternoon to check out the new cocktails. Loved the Jungle Bird . Normally , I am not a fan of Jägermeister but THIS cocktail changed that real fast . The cocktails here are so uniquely curated. The bartenders also go out of their way to help you select the cocktail that fits your taste buds and personality. Great Happy Hour too !!! My favorite watering hole in all of NYC .

    Pistachio Mai Tai and Thin Mint Shot.

    While waiting for our table at PDT, we decided to kill some time at Romeo's across the street. The bar is fun and cute, but pricey for what you get. I liked how the menu has photos and they even gave us complimentary popcorn once we sat down. To order drinks, you have to go to the bar though. I got the Pistachio Mai Tai ($20), Thin Mint Shot ($13), and a Guinness ($11). The drinks were all quite disappointing and overpriced. My Mai tai didn't really taste of any pistachio and it was overloaded with ice. The thin mint shot was just a minty shot with an Andes mint. They try to make the drinks fun with the add-ons, but it's just not really worth it. I wouldn't plan to drink much here, but it's a cool space.

    Sexy, sensual, vibey, oh and a party! Honestly, an amazing spot for a group, a date, or a solo drinker. Romeo's is elevated enough to feel upscale, but playful enough to feel relaxed. It's a party, but they do not over do it, they have found a really nice sweet spot between the love, retro, and modern. Of course, it is a bar so the drinks need to be right. They are. The elote old fashioned is smooth and almost creamy. But, still plenty of bite--just as all old fashioneds should have. The bar tender was great. He was pretty busy running the bar solo but still did a good job of keeping me company and cutting it up with other guests. Romeo, romeo, how do i now live in stl without thou romeo?

    Hot dog, pizza bagel bites
    Rachel G.

    Romeo's is such a cute bar on St. Marks. We stopped in for drinks and snacks early so it's wasn't too busy. They have a few tables on the sidewalk which is great when it's nice outside. We tried the hotdog and pizza bagel bites with our cocktails. The hotdog was loaded with toppings and came with potato chips. The pizza bagel bites were topped with tomato sauce and lots of mozzarella. It was a full size bagel and delicious, but a bit pricey for only two pieces. The cocktails have hits and misses. The pistachio mai tai is my favorite so far. Definitely worth stopping in for drinks, especially for happy hour!

    Such a cute spot! U can spot it from a block away. Luckily there was no line when I arrived because when I left, there was a line. I was able to walk in with no issues. Once inside the decor was so cute ! Unfortunately there was barely enough room to move around. They had great music but no space to stand where u are not in the server's way. It was a Saturday so it is expected for bars in this area to be packed. I'll stop by at an earlier time next time.

    Romeo's was ok, we headed there for the Christmas vibe and just in time for Happy Hour. The music was so loud, it was truly impossible to talk, the Happy Hour food was not great and the drinks were just ok. On the other hand, we sat in an excellent back section that was roomy and VERY festive!

    Festivus Cranberry Cocktail
    Cara T.

    I came here today to check out their Christmas overlay! Romeo's turns into Gnomeo's for the holidays. My friend and I loved the decorations and holiday cocktails! There is bar seating and tables. Everything is first come, first serve and you order at the bar no matter where you sit. Everyone was so friendly! I had the festivus cranberry, which is a vodka based drink. It was amazing! It wasn't too sweet and the rosemary was a great touch. I would order this again for sure! We also split the french onion dip, which was a good snack and on happy hour. I definitely recommend this bar, especially if you are looking something that isn't touristy and full of holiday vibes!

    Lots of seating
    Lauren M.

    I went to Romeo's for the first time while they are running their holiday pop up Gnomeo's. I showed up as soon as they opened so I was the only one in there for a while. The bar is actually pretty large with a lot of seating. There's a big bathroom in the back too. There are multiple TVs playing a movie at any time. When I went there, they were playing The Breakfast Club. The holiday decor was very tasteful and not overkill. They were playing music but it was not holiday music. The playlist was killer though. They have a special holiday menu right now. I had the Festivus Cranberry and it was very good. I want to try the Pistachio Mai Tai next. They have some small plates but they were out of a few of them. I had the pizza bagel which is made on a legit bagel so it was good. They gave me complimentary elote popcorn which was SO GOOD. The staff was really cool and nice. I really liked the vibe in here and will definitely come back - even after the holiday pop up is over. Bonus, they have purse hooks at the bar. I love the attention to this detail. I think this bar is ADA accessible - there are no stairs required to enter, the front door is large and the bathroom is also large. There's plenty of seating too that can accommodate various accessibility needs. What a nice addition to the East Village

    Aperol Spritz
    Pratima M.

    A fun spot for a quick drink on St. Marks -- they have a great outdoor seating setup. It wasn't too hard to find a spot on a Friday evening, plus a decent amount of seating inside if you prefer. The staff is friendly and the cocktails are super unique -- the Avocado Marg was solid, plus they make a great Aperol Spritz!

    Romeo's is the absolute perfect East Village vibe for the beautiful weather! With outdoor seating and open windows, you get to experience the best of New York summer no matter where you're seated. Combine that with their incredible cocktail list and unbelievably friendly staff - and this is a must visit this summer! Absolutely do not skip their new "Weenie & Tini" combo where you get a delicious rotating hot dog and martini!! I had the basil martini and their tie die hot dog and they both hit the spot. You also must try their French Onion dip and pistachio mai tai to round out the experience! You'll definitely be seeing me back at this phenomenal East Village gem

    New spot in the neighborhood, actually really enjoyed stopping in here. They serve food at affordable prices, vibe is great, service is great. Also love that they play movies on one of the screens

    milk punch and pistachio mai tai
    Nicole N.

    Stumbled upon Romeo's when walking around East Village! People seemed like they were having a good time, so we wanted to check it out! The pistachio mai tai was very solid with a decent pistachio nutty taste! The spicy avocado marg was also pretty good! While the avocado flavors could have been stronger, it did give the drink a creaminess that complemented the tajin salt and spiciness. The milk punch unfortunately didn't really have a strong favor profile of anything. They gave us free popcorn, which was seasoned and not too oily! The place itself isn't too big but there are some high table tops, bar seating, and a small area in the back that can fit about 6 people. More seating options outside but weather dependent. Loved the pink neon lights that gave the dim setting a warm, trendy vibe! Can definitely see it becoming more popular soon!

It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

Not too crowded, the wait for a pool table was about 30 minutes, enough for a quick round of shuffleboarding. The games are relatively cheap, and there's so much variety, ping pong and board games. The live jazz is really what sets this place apart from the other pool halls, starting around 7 pm with what seems like maybe the house band and I think they have guests later in the night. It's the perfect atmosphere, fun lighting, lots of grungy writing on the walls, good indie music from the 2010s before the jazz starts. Plus the spacing of the tables is good so you're not constantly bumping into other players, which is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure it's busier later in the night but it's perfect for an early stop in the evening. Cheap drinks and good deals as well!

It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

The servers were all nice and patiently explaining the menu to us and everyone else. The lighting is a bit dim and the volume is a bit loud but we were able to still hear our party speak. DRINKS: We got the Wagyu old fashioned and the coffee martini. The Wagyu old fashioned was neat. I was left with a finishing note of peanut butter which cut the fat (which was subtle and good). The coffee martini was light and different from other espresso martinis that often have milk. Overall, very balanced and creative drinks. FOOD: We had dinner plans with friends later in the light so we wanted to share small bites. We initially wanted to order the volcano roll to share but the server suggested that two might be better since the tuna was on one side and sticky rice was on the other side, so we didn't get it. We got the shrimp toast instead, along with a mochi French fry and the bw chicken. The shrimp toast was small but probably bigger than what the volcano roll would have been. The flavor was good, with some brightness/citrus in the sauce the shrimp and lobster is mixed in. I was planning on giving this experience four stars for portion size but we really enjoyed the bw chicken so upped it to five stars. (Receipt included in pictures for price reference; September 2026.) The mochi French fry was fun. It had cheddar cheese powder on top and came with a Gochujang aioli that was tasty with a nice amount of spice. The bw chicken was the showstopper - so juicy and tasty! We would definitely come back just for the bw chicken.

It was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We had it with a side of potato salad, which complemented the fried chicken really well and completed the meal. Overall, we had an amazing experience here. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and delicious. Definitely a place we would come back to!

Either way, the bar was not crowded yet and he straight up ignored us. For a while. We left. Drinks are made with the cheapest of booze and served in plastic cups. Based on the quality, the prices are high, even for the neighborhood. Despite the drinks and despite the crappy service on the second visit, we will likely come back the next time we're in town in hopes of finding a bartender who understands the job. It's near other stuff we like, and the music and vibes were that good on the first night. And if it sucks again, there's like a thousand other places in walking distance.
