What a disaster this place is. I won't review a place I've never been, but after coming here, I have to get my experience before and my experience after off of my chest. I had reached out to the establishment about their backroom for a party. After a slow reply we began a good dialogue. I explained I could promise a certain number of people. They told me my numbers were good, and that if I didn't have a certain number by a certain time I would have to pay a large fee. Now there is nothing wrong with that. That's normal, and something I've done before. I expressed the price was a little steep, but I would be willing to do it. I just couldn't promise the exact number by an exact time. People run late, they're coming from dinner or a show. So I inquired as to whether or not they'd hold me to it if my numbers showed up a little bit later. Not even saying they wouldn't show up by their exact time, but I wouldn't want to be in the hole if two people ended up showing up 15 minutes later. Every other time I've been in discussion with a venue about something along those lines, they've said no problem. That they weren't looking to nickel and dime me. This is where things get weird. They start replying slowly again. Being vague and not answering my questions. So I reach out again, once I have a better idea. Let them know I have a better idea of things. Now they raise the prices on me. But don't worry, the front couch is available for me, for free. Seemed a bit odd, so I told him I'd get back to him. Reached out again and once again the prices went up and the front couch now costs money. It was very disheartening. I felt like I was getting taken advantage of. Figured I wouldn't go there. And as a result I wouldn't leave a review. However my friend had his birthday there. Nothing planned set or organized. On a Saturday afternoon. Just strolled in. Sure enough, we had those oh so special front couches. They weren't difficult to snatch. The place was packed though. Awful crowd. Loud and obnoxious. Unless you like that type of thing. The funniest part, a friend of my friend said he had his party there in the back. That he organized it through the owners and didn't deal with anything like I dealt with. At a much cheaper quote as well. Anything for an extra buck I guess. read more

We took an amazing cocktail : The Montparnasse (made with French Apple Brandy) and it was so good! We took twice so it was good! It was my first time in this place. I went several times without stopping but always saying that I should try because of the decoration, atmosphere and the Happy Hour of course. read more

See all

Bar hopped and decided to try this place. First off it was superrrrrrrr packed. We were lucky to find seats for 4 people by the bar. My friends ordered the jalapeño margarita and I ordered the gimlet. I liked it and it was a bit strong. The jalapeño margaritas were so good that my friends ordered so many that eventually a couple hours later they ran out. I guess that's the best drink on the menu who knows. The bartender was a jerk off. Definitely needs to work on his customer service. We ordered 3 drinks and the guy gave us 5. We tried to tell him that we only wanted 3 and didn't want to be charged and he totally gave us an attitude. He was probably drinking during the job, I wouldn't be surprised..... read more

Love love love this bar. It's one of the first places I visited before moving into the neighborhood. Now that I'm here, I make a point of stopping by at least every other week. The wait staff are all fun-lovin crazy media kids. The owner is warm and very welcoming. The atmosphere is straight out of Flatiron, chic but not off-putting or too trendy. That vibe in itself makes it stand out from the 'dive bar' vibe that the East Village has in spades. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'm mixed on the food. Sometimes it's great and other times it's just okay. But food is not the appeal. On music nights, you'll want to be up-front so that you can carry on a normal conversation but you'll be grooving to latin, jazz or a hybrid. At least when I've been there. I love this bar and I'm sure you will too. Just don't love it too much; I need a seat at the bar. read more

Ten Degrees Bar - Moody shot of the menu - Gastropubs Near Me - New York, New York

If you have never stumbled into 10 Degrees before, you might want to rethink your path through the neighborhood. This place gets more full than your belly after your third serving of Thanksgiving stuffing, but when 2-for-1 on **any** drink is up for grabs, you expect it. Just suck it up and suck down your drink. This includes beer, specialty cocktails AND pours of straight liquor so wiggle into a seat (if you can) and hunker down for a few rounds. It is well worth it. Plus, the 2-4-1 is all week long (12-8) so if you prefer an earlier Saturday to avoid the crowds, then do it up! The food is also pretty delicious. I enjoyed the guac as a table starter. Their sliders are delicious and perfect belly padding for the alcohol you've been pouring down your gullet. There is table service if you've been lucky enough to snag a seat but sometimes when the place is particularly packed, you may have a hard time grabbing a server. Ours was pretty amazing the last time we were there. She was weaving through the hoards of people like a champion of non-spillage. read more

Just like all the other reviews state, the happy hour is EVERY SINGLE DAY! I went yesterday (Saturday) at around 4:15 PM and there was a private party that was finishing up, so the place was open to the general public. I loved that the 2-4-1 was on every drink and the bartenders were awesome with keeping track of drinks (Phil was the male bartender but I can't remember the woman's name). We ordered the crostini, the grilled cheese, and avocado toast to split among four of us. All the food was great. All of our cocktails were great. It started to pick up at around 6 PM and get busier, but we were sitting at the bar so we were fine. There are some tables in toward the back. I'm not sure that if the bartenders come to you to pick up drinks or if you have to go to the bar yourself. Make sure you're clear when you're ordering as some of the cocktails can sound the same and the bartenders may mishear you. The only thing I would say is that if you're planning to come here, try calling the day before to see if there are any private events. I lucked out, but it's a good thing to check on if you know what time of day you're going to go. Cannot wait to come back here again! read more

Stopped in after a long Monday of exploring in order to relax and take advantage of the fantastic BOGO happy hour deal. The space was fairly empty when we walked in before the post-work crowd, and we were immediately greeted by the bartender. Large selection of cocktails and wines all around the $10-13 price range (so a steal at $5-6 per drink with BOGO!). Coming from Chicago, my boyfriend and I were generally shocked by the lack of plentiful, local craft beer options in NYC bars, so he was happy to find at least a couple beers on draft at Ten Degrees. The space was very comfy and we were happy to post up at the extremely cushioned booths and rest our feet. They turned the ambience up with dimmed lights and candles come around 6pm. Great location in the heart of East Village, comfortable seating, and tasty cocktails at a low price all day - what else could you ask for!? read more

By far... my favorite bar! 2 for 1, 7 days a week....who can beat that. Additionally this bar has the hottest bartender in the neighborhood read more

Ten Degrees Bar - Gastropubs Near Me - New York, New York

Very good happy hour deals. In ny it's rare to find a place where you can leave out with your tab only being $10 after a couple of drinks. We went on a Friday evening and although it was loud and packed, the service was very quick. read more

One of the best happy hour deals! 2 for 1 drinks (per person) that runs from noon till 8pm. Wide variety of drinks to choose from and some seasonal items written on a mirror/board by the bar. Space is kinda cramped whenever I've been, but that's usually around 5pm and onward when everyone is out and about. Space by the bar/near the front is the best since it feels more open. The back is a bit darker if you go at night. Service is somewhat slow. Seems like they are understaffed since there is only 1 or 2 bartenders and minimal wait staff. Otherwise, drinks are pretty good and absolutely worth it to go with friends. read more

The 2 for 1 (noon till pm) keeps me coming back even though this place lacks ventilation sometimes. Unless you're day drinking in the afternoon, this place is always packed during prime HH time. There's low couch seating for 6 near the front right, high tables on the left, a bar that wraps around in the middle, and then there's the back room with more space and seating. I used to live a building away and I'm not sure why I didn't take advantage of the happy hour more often. Honestly, the deal speaks for itself. read more

My review is mainly for the private room in the back that you could reserve for an occasion or social gathering (must spend at least $500). I visited Ten Degrees and noticed the private back room. I decided to throw my 30th birthday (milestone) in the private room. I spoke with the rep, Moti, to reserve and finalize things for my party. I was told that I could bring a DJ. The day before or a few days before I inquired about the DJ set up and the speakers. I was told that about the DJ set up and that the speakers were perfect (my DJ had their own speakers they could of brought to the event). My friends and the DJ show up to set up and as soon as the DJ set up the entire back room loses power. They regain power and the DJ finished setting up and the speakers are SHOT. There was no manager on site to assist. And, I must admit that the waitress(es) tried their best to rectify the situation but they were also slightly dropping the ball left and right. The private room also was extremely hot; clearly not for summer events. I sent the venue an email to voice my issues and their response was "I am not sure what went wrong between our system and your DJ." EXCUSE ME! My DJ was fine. In fact, the waitress apologized the night of and informed me that the speakers blew the night before and there was no way to fix them. A heads up would have been great since they knew I was bringing a DJ. There were other small mishaps including the hot room that I overlooked. However, the DJ mishaps made me the most furious because not only could this have been avoided if they informed me of the speakers because my DJ could of brought their own. But, moreover, because DJs are not cheap so I basically lost hundreds of dollars that I spent on a DJ that could not perform due to the venue. In addition, they did nothing after I emailed them to complain other than try and deflect. Extremely unprofessional. I was going to throw my best friend's birthday there as well, but no thanks. read more

Being one of my favorite bar hopping parts of town, I thought I knew all the best happy hour spots in Alphabet City. When my friends told me to meet up at Ten Degrees Bar (not Ten Degrees bistro, their sister restaurant around the corner), I was shocked to find how close it was to places I've been going for a long time. I was even more surprised that this place was so well established/known; I had somehow missed the memo, and never heard of the place. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was the large u shaped bar and low profile lounge seating. This place has a seriously laid back feel that is great for a group of old friends, or a date. We took up residence in the couches / footstool seating in the front, adjacent to a large street facing window (great for watching the frenzied world that is Alphabet City on a drinking night go round). Our server quickly greeted us, and shared the amazing news that EVERYTHING in the bar was buy one get one until eight. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of buy one get one bars in the city (heck, Key Bar is right around the corner), but this place is different. It's hard to find a place that has a happy hour with such a well-rounded (I'm almost tempted to say "grown up") menu. I love a good dive bar, and getting a buy back on PBR is great, but it's awesome to find a spot that does the same thing with really good scotch (their scotch menu is extensive and comprehensive - you want a Macallan? Great, will that be a 10, 12, or 15), craft mix drinks, and more (beer, well drinks, wine/wine on tap, etc.). Being linked to Ten Degrees Bistro, the bar has access to their kitchen - they make fantastic use of it. The menu is full of perfect bar food; we had a cheese plate that was tasty (mixed cheeses, dried meats and bread), and steak sliders topped with spicy chipotle mayo that were phenomenal - again the theme here is upscale but not overly expensive (I think we got around 10 sliders for 20$). If I had any criticism at all, it's that when it got busy (this place gets packed), the service slowed down considerably; they should consider a second server (we had the same lady all night - she was super friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed). When you combine the great happy hour, awesome food, extensive drink menu, and intimate atmosphere you end up with one of the best happy hour spots in the city; you'll absolutely find me here with scotch in hand again soon. read more

Ten Degrees Bar - Perfect bar to be hanging at tonight, hopefully the Macallan keeps us warm : ) - Gastropubs Near Me - New York, New York

Arrived on a Friday night and I was searching for a friend which should've been at Ten Degrees already. The hostess approached me and stated I was at the wrong establishment because "it's not Hanoi House, this is Ten Degrees". The only reason she would say such a statement is because I was Asian. The rest of the bar staff were friendly and attentive. However, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Remember when we were 16 and used to take those silly tests in Cosmo to figure out whether that cute guy from biology had the hots for us like we did for him? Don't you miss those tests? I thought so. So I've taken the liberty of recreating one below. Are you and Ten Degrees a match made in heaven? Question 1: Do you enjoy good looking bartenders? Yes No Question 2: On a typical night out, you drink: a) Beer b) Wine c) Delicious cocktails d) all of the above Question 3: When choosing a bar to patronize, you look for: a) underage NYU girls b) die-hard hipsters c) an interesting mix of laid back people d) call girls Question 4: You enjoy being hassled at the door by bouncers and/or waiting in line in sub-freezing weather: True False Question 5: You feel at home in a bar when: a) there's gallons of beer spilled on the floor and, hopefully, peanut shells too b) the lighting's dim and the atmosphere's cozy c) there's a place to sit d) people are pushing and shoving and you can't move Point distribution: Question 1 - True: 5 points. False: 0 points. Question 2 - a, b or c: 3 points. d: 5 points. Question 3 - a or b: 0 points. c: 5 points. d: 1 point (we reward honesty around here) Question 4 - True: 0 points. False: 5 points. Question 5 - a: 0 points. b: 5 points. c: 2 points. d: 0 points. Add 'em up! If you scored 20 - 25 points: ding ding ding!! We have a winner. Proceed immediately to Ten Degrees. Love will ensue. If you scored 10 - 19 points: does. not. compute. If you scored 0 - 9 points: I don't want to know you. Thanks for playing! read more

It's all about eight luxurious hours of happy hour drinks from noon-8:00pm every day at one of my favorite East Village destinations, Ten Degrees. I'm not certain how often they break out that economy-busting special, but it's been one of the best deals in town for at least the seven years I've been coming. Usually when you go to a bar that has a gimmick like this, the only drinks that qualify are the crappiest of rotgut well drinks. At Ten Degrees, nothing is off limits. Feel like getting a buy-one-get-one-free glass of $14 Petit Syrah? You're in luck. You can even mix and match if you'd like, settling on a glass of vino, then moving onto a hand-stirred Manhattan if that tickles your fancy. In addition to an incredible deal, the staff and patrons are all really cool, and it has that cozy feel that sucks you in like a Siren from Homer's Odyssey. What usually starts off as a way to burn 45 minutes turns into a 2+ hour hang every time. Kick up your feet and hang awhile. read more

Thanks to my dear friend Daphne W., I think I have just discovered the best happy hour spot in the EV. Arguably one of the best happy hour deals in the entire city. Unlike the average bar/resto that offers $3 beers and $5 watered down well drinks during happy hour, Ten Degrees Bar lets you order any 2 drinks of your choice for the price of 1. That's right, ANY 2 that you heart could possibly desire! Getting everything from a full glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a sweet red sangria, minty fresh margarita and dry Tom Collins... the combinations and choices are freaking endless. As you can tell, this place can get real dangerous real fast... Besides the awesome drink deal that should draw anyone with any common sense in the door, the food here isn't shabby either. I was thoroughly impressed with how fresh and flavorful the guacamole here is, served in a generous portion and seconds on the tortilla chips. The ambiance and service here is top-notch as well, as sophisticated and intimate as any wine bar - yet with the same level of service as a neighborhood joint frequented by regulars. They do fill up pretty fast after about 6:30pm. But that's alright with me, I have no problem at all with drinking at 5pm, or 2pm. read more

When I think happy hour, I think dive bar. Ten Degrees Bar is an anomaly among happy hour spots. While they offer a killer two for one deal till 8pm on any drink on their menu - it's also a very pleasant and, dare I say, pretty place to sit. And if you roll in on a Monday, bottles of wine are half price all night. As a wine bar it functions nicely with a wide selection of vino by the glass or bottle along with a full bar to satisfy your more poisonous needs. The food menu looked scrumptious, though with Crif Dogs down the street I didn't order anything here. The counter area is pleasant, though I thought the high stools were a bit uncomfortable, and there's plenty of seating throughout. If you have a larger party, the back room is the perfect place to hang for some privacy and since all the staff is attentive you'll surely not have to wait long to have your libation needs met, even if you are hidden away in the back cave. read more

I went to Ten Degrees this past Saturday night with very good friend Abby W., despite her negative experience, 2-star Yelp review, and the absurd rebuttal by Ten Degrees' management. The specialty cocktails were delicious, and very reasonably priced at $11 each. The atmosphere was dark, lively, and the windows that open out to St. Mark's make it perfect for a summer evening. However, I'm truly appalled by management's ridiculous response to Abby W's Yelp review. It was condescending, overly defensive, off-topic, and unnecessary. Anybody on the street (let alone a well-traveled, born-and-raised New Yorker like Abby W.) will tell you $1 per drink is absolutely standard and fair tipping procedure in NYC, especially in the East Village/ABC City, with exceptions going towards complex cocktails at upscale places like Employees Only. Ten Degrees is hardly Employees Only, and anybody who tips $1 per drink is hardly from Boise, Idaho. Rude. The next argument that management makes is that his staff needs to pay their rent. How is this the customer's problem? Do we customers not need to pay OURS? Pay your staff more, raise the drink prices, figure it out, but your bartender's rent payment is not my problem. Finally, Abby W.'s point was that the staff was rude to her and called her friend out on the $1/drink tip. This is absolutely not acceptable. Even if someone leaves ZERO tip, you are in a service business, and you have to shut your mouth and keep it to yourself. For management to condone a staff member's unprofessional behavior towards a customer is disappointing, especially at an otherwise fun bar. read more

Please, please eat dinner before going to Ten Degrees for their Happy Hour. If you don't, please, please PLEASE heed my warnings. The drinks are strong. Especially the French 75. After your first 2 for 1 special, take a little while to see how you feel before getting a second. Don't even bother drunk texting Geezy because he will definitely not bring you Korean food and he will definitely make fun of the fact that you are drunk and it's still light out. DO enjoy the company of your beautiful, hilarious, and sweet lady friends. DON'T take the shot that the one man who showed up bought you. PLEASE. Don't. Order the regular olives. Pitted olive are for lames. Seriously, it shouldn't even be an option. DO leave Ten Degrees Bar way too late and way too drunk and end your evening getting a lap dance from your lady friend at a metal bar. read more

I've never not had a good time here. That could be my review right there. But double negatives hurt my Grammar Police roots so I'll elaborate on that. Ten Degrees Bar is just good people. Not sure if it's the layout, the music, the severs, the general ambiance or what, but this place is all things down to earth. Upon walking in, you're immediately greeted with the small bar area as well as scattered seating. Typically, this area is the most crowded so can initially be overwhelming. My advice? Wait it out. Or just embrace it and mingle! I don't find this place to be at all cliquey - the crowd is typically friendly and happy to circulate. I find that in a lot of LES/East Village bars/just bars in general, mingling can be quite difficult despite the high volume of people who come in and out because everyone is already with their designated group. I just don't get the vibe here. Proceeding to the back of the establishment, you'll find two long rows of tables lining the walls up until the private room in back. These spots are fantastic if you're looking to have a few drinks with a small group of friends. I've done this twice during happy hour (more on that below) and it's been a fantastic time. Servers come by often, drinks are a-flowin' and positive energy runneth over. Before I get to the private room, I need to do my due diligence and mention the happy hour special. As plenty of reviewers before me have mentioned, Ten Degrees does happy hour EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. THIS IS BRILLIANT. All caps over. The first time I came here was on a Saturday around 7:30. A server came over quickly to inform us that ALL drinks (okay, I lied, still some caps lock) were two-for-one. This includes beer, wine, and a comprehensive list of classic cocktails (Moscow Mules, Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Rye and Gingers, Margaritas, Mint Juleps, etc. etc.). Happy hour (I repeat: seven days a week) ends at 8pm, so as long as you order your first drink before 8, the second drink will be free! TIP: Be sure to tell your server if you'd like something different for your second drink. If you don't, you run the risk of being brought the same thing, which seems far too boring for a novelty-seeker like me. Still, two-for-one! Lastly I just want to speak to the private room in back. Not sure what's entailed in renting it out, but it's a great time. I dropped by a friend's Halloween party here this past weekend and it was simply awesome. Okay, maybe not awe-some, but I'm a fan. The room is spacious - plenty of standing room as well as a number of comfy couches - great chatting, dancing...whatever suits your fancy. On this particular night, there was candy strewn across every table (so many chocolate noms!) and those who opted for the couch were in prime position for munching. I can only speak to this one party, but a waitress would come by fairly frequently to take drink orders here - no need to go to the bar up front. Would highly highly recommend for a medium-sized get-together. read more

I had my engagement party here last week and everything went off without a hitch - from the initial email inquiry to the actual day - all thanks to Moti! We reserved the back room for a Thursday evening, on the Tuesday before! Luckily, the room was available and was ours for a small tab minimum. The minimum is based on the number of people you expect to host - we had a $500 minimum for ~20 people. Best of all, we were offered the happy hour menu of 2 for 1 drinks! And like everyone has noted, their happy hour menu is insaneeeee(ly amazing)! We had our own private waitress who was fast and efficient in getting us our drinks. The room itself was the perfect size, with just the right amount of seating and two bathrooms. All in all, a great night. Only critique I had was that there were various patrons wandering in and plopping down on the seats in the private room. I had to kindly let them know it was a private party, which should not fall under my realm of responsbiility between making sure I say hello to all my guests and that they were happily liquored up. Would be great if the waitress or another employee could handle those awkward situations for their patrons in the future! :) Thanks Moti, for a great night! read more

Ten things you should know about Ten Degrees: 1.) The 2-for-1 Happy Hour includes not only their lengthy list of delicious, potent cocktails, but also wine/beer and off-menu items, like a super spicy Bloody Mary or extra dirty martini. (I like drinks with a few adjectives, what can I say... I think the people at Starbucks may hate me.) 2.) It gets crowded and very loud in here, but there are some big comfy couches to sit on. Kind of awkward if you're in a big group, so stick with a date or just a couple buddies. 3.) At $11-13, drinks are expensive outside of Happy Hour. 4.) There's food, but it's small gastropub stuff. Unless you snag a seat at the bar or one of the very few tables, it could be pretty uncomfortable to chow down. 5.) The back room, my favorite part of the bar to chill, can be booked for private parties and frequently is, so you may have to migrate to the louder front area. 6.) The two bathrooms are pretty spacious and clean. 7.) Service is fine. Not too friendly, but they do the job and do take special drink requests/alterations, which I appreciate. 8.) The drinks themselves are strong and well-made, something in between what you'd get at a typical bar and a speakeasy. 9.) It's way too girly up in here. The ratio must be around 5:1.5, chicks to dudes (and that .5 refers to dudes on dates). 10.) The location rocks - several options nearby. It's particularly nice when the weather's decent and the entire front of the bar gets opened up... some fun people-watching, courtesy of its proximity to Tompkins Square Park. I think Ten Degrees is awesome for very specific purposes: Either a chill date (during Happy Hour or with a whipped/generous guy), or a gabfest with a small group of girls donning brand new cute little dresses during Happy Hour, before heading off somewhere else. With dudes. read more

I've only been here for Happy Hour (2-for-1 drinks, 12PM-8PM, 7 days a week), and people who love mixed drinks, this is your place for cheap drinks post-work. Compared to most bars in NYC with only well-drinks or a couple beers on tap, Ten Degrees Bar has an entire PAGE of mixed drinks including Moscow Mules, Mint Juleps, Mojitos, sangria, and Rye & Gingers, available during Happy Hour. Unreal! They also have a pretty sick guacamole (big portion, very fresh) and chips (deliciously salty). They turned up the music by around 6:30PM, so be ready to shout at your dining companions. Notes: - not a dive bar, just a casual laid-back one. - they have a private room in the back, perfect for large parties. - there are seats with pillows to cozy up to your honey or metal stool seating - service was disorganized and hurried but it is HH read more

They have a 2 for 1 happy hour special on their drinks and house shots. It starts at 12 pm and ends at 8 pm. Does this review really need anything else? read more

All I have to say is HAPPY HOUR! You absolutely cannot beat 2 for 1 drink specials and it's hella cozy here! Love Love Love!

When I was a young lad, my drinking evenings used to begin at midnight in super crowded clubs...yea, my post-collegiate stamina was hella dope. ...alas, I'm getting older...so now I like to kick it geriatric-style and hit up happy hours with my "mature" yuppie squads. East village bars are tailor made for my old-ass lifestyle...and Ten Degrees Bar is perfect...with its 2 for 1 drink special, large comfy couches, intimate interior decor, vast wine selection, and sedate vibe... Let's just say that these days, I appreciate good conversation with slight slurring in a smooth spot that has zero pretentions. Man, I need to be put out to pasture. read more

Best Happy Hour deal in NYC! From 5 to 8pm daily, you get your choice of any drinks on the menu which includes wines and amazing cocktails from mojitos, martinis to their infamous caipirinhas. the difference between this type of deal compared to others is the "no strings attached" drinks and the individual orders. You can't share the second half of the drink; instead, you get issued a ticket to get your second drink after. This only means you are in for a night of drinking. It's nice to know though that you can get your second drink beyond the 8pm time to pace yourself. A private party can be held in a semi-enclosed space at the back, too, at no extra charge-- a resource worth knowing in the city. I haven't really tried their food but their guac chips appetizer are as good as most places, only thing is the serving size is kind of whack--guacamole is disproportionately larger than the size of chips. My experience here in the weekday was nice, however, heard this place can get a little annoying or even "seedy" in the weekends. Take advantage of the front area space especially right around now during nice weather. read more

10 Degrees boasts a great happy hour deal... however it does get packed pretty quickly with many taking advantage of 2 for 1s till 8pm. I'd suggest getting there early to snag a spot at the bar or for any hope of the bartender catching your eye. While the cocktails are really nothing to write home about, the vibe of this place is cool, laid back, and fun. Solid wine list though... should have stuck to Vino and avoided the hard stuff... I know, I know. The interior is dark and sexy and perfect for meeting up with friends after work. A solid happy hour option on St Marks and a good way to get your evening started. read more

Great HH deals (2-for-1) with strong drinks. The wait staff was decently attentive. I would frequent this spot for any pregaming before a night out in the town. read more

The East Village has a ton of happy hour options, but this one should be at the top of your list for ambiance, drink specials and food! I've been here a number of times for happy hour, which lasts until 8 and includes 2 for 1 drinks (this amazingly applies to bottles of wine as well). Service at 10 Degrees is consistently good, even when the place is crowded and we're a large group of people. Between my multiple visits, I've had the guac, cheese plate, and the prosciutto panini here and the food does not disappoint. Good portion sizes and the appetizers are large enough to share. It does get quite crowded and loud here, so get there on the early side of happy hour if you want to settle in. read more

Probably one of the best (and dangerous) happy hour deals in the area with 2-4-1 drinks from noon-8 PM on weekdays...that's a big time frame for happy hour! And unlike many bars with happy hour specials, almost their whole menu is included in the deals rather than just well drinks. The deal only works per person though, so don't expect to get one drink and let a friend smooch off the free one...you're gonna be double fisting 2 drinks to finish on your own lol My friend and I originally came here thinking there would be some bar munchies to snack on, but we didn't see any food items on the menu at the time. It wasn't too big of a deal since there's so many food options down the street along st marks. This may turn into one of my go-to spots for happy hours considering their specials. read more

Came here a few weeks ago with a group of friends, and we had a good time sitting in the back room and chilling. I ordered a glass of rosé wine. A few days later, I checked my credit card statement online and realized that 10 Degrees had charged me more than what I wrote on my receipt. (I still have my copy of the receipt, so I verified it.) I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and figured that maybe they got my receipt mixed up with my friend's, and not that they did it on purpose, but either way, it's a pretty irresponsible error for an establishment to make. I called my bank to fix the situation...but I probably won't be going back to 10 Degrees. Moral of the story: keep your receipts and check your credit card statements! read more

Had my 30th Birthday Party here the Friday night before Christmas and it went perfectly! The space was perfect for my group of about 30 and it was nice that we also had our own private bathroom back there. We had a murder mystery game going on in the back. It was a little bit loud but mostly because my group was loud. We were able to turn off the music in the back to play our game and then turn it back on for drinking and dancing towards the end of the night. It was really nice that there was a Christmas tree in the back making the area also festive for Christmas time. Apologies that I cannot remember the name of our waitress but she was so attentive and accommodating! She even cut up my cake and handed it out for me. The food was also actually really good. Party platters were bigger than I expected too, which was great, but I felt like I ordered too much food for everyone. The waitress let me cancel my last order, which was so helpful as there was already so much leftover food. The owner, Moti, was responsive with my emails and worked with me to have the murder mystery game in the area as well. I would absolutely have an event there again. It was a perfect 30th birthday! Thanks 10 degrees!! :) read more

Wow does this place get loud and packed for HH! They have some good music going on - I found you ms new booty ;) we got lucky and some cocktail host asked us if we wanted a table and we got a seat pretty quickly! drinks are so cheap and good here too.... they were 2 for 1! I noticed a lot of people eating too so they do have a menu but we did not grab food here. Just some drinks, and us yelling at each other since the music was so loud, but I didn't mind! read more

Consider me a new fan of this place. I stopped by for the first time last Sunday, tempted by the 2-for-1 drink sign outside, and left far from disappointed. In fact, I may have found a new favorite day drinking bar in the area. Until 8pm every day their drink list including top shelf cocktails are all 2 for 1. This takes a reasonable price for 1 drink, and makes it amazing for 2. We tried a range of drinks in the time that we were there, and the crowd was consistent and trendy, encouraging a great overall atmosphere. After our sampling, I recommend the Mint Julep and Sangria. The bartenders here are on top of their game and make each drink with an impressive level of care and precision. They also are not shy to pour with a heavy hand, a huge plus after being places where drinks are meticulously measured out. I didn't get around to trying any food, but if the drinks are any indication -it'll be great as well. Looking for any excuse to get back here soon. read more

Threw a surprise birthday party and had a great time at Ten Degrees. Pros: * There is 2-4-1 cocktail happy hour daily until 8PM (including weekends). * We secured the private room for about 40 people in the back of the gastropub. The room is truly private, spacious (capacity 50 guests), clean, and had 2 private bathrooms (a rarity!). There are comfortable sofas, small side chairs and tables as well. The furniture could also be stored away for more guests. * Allow your own decorations. They had even brought in a lighted Christmas tree for the festivities. * Cash bar and individual tabs. * Could play your own music (to be specific, you must bring your own 3.5mm to RCA Auxiliary Cable Cord) or they hire a DJ for you. The sound is good but doesn't get too loud. * Excellent service, our server (name: EB "American Idol" LOL) was friendly and attentive. The owner Moti was also quick to respond to our questions and emails. * Left out carafes of water for self-service. * They provide party platters which you can order beforehand (can access on http://www.10degreesbar.com). We didn't do this, but I enjoyed the delicious Grilled Cheese and Penne Pasta. Cons: * No dessert menu. If you bring your own cake they charge a service fee of $3/person :( Don't try to persuade them that you can bring your own cake and supplies, as they are pretty strict about this. Tips: * Room available with 25 guests minimum requirement from 7-10pm with a $700 minimum spend for this time slot or 10.30pm & on with 30 guests minimum requirement & a $1000 minimum spend. To secure the room, you only have to fill out a guarantee against cancellations or no shows as well as your minimum spend. Highly recommend for a private party! Thanks Moti and EB! read more

I was looking for a place with a good happy hour and came across this bar, read some pretty good reviews, and decided to check it out. Best decision of my life (slight exaggeration). I got here a little before 6 on a Wednesday night and expected it to be swarming with people based on the previous reviews. While waiting for friends, I propped myself up on the bar perused the extensive drink menu, and became friendly with the nice dude sitting next to me. He was a regular at the bar which said a lot about the place. The bartender was super chill and made some good strong drinks. After some time, people came and went and it got busy (fun, Wed night kinda busy). This will definitely be a go to spot this summer. Oh- Ten Degrees and I are Facebook friends, so you know this relationship is on a whole new level now! read more

A nice break from the St. Mark's crowds...at night, shadows dance on the walls from the many candles that create a soft glow in this monochromatic bar. There's a soft breeze from the open doorway/window. There's a DJ that plays, but the speakers are awkwardly placed and can be deafening in many seats along the one side of the bar. Also some questionable music selections. As far as the selection, there is a good variety of wines from all across the country and the world, with many to choose from under the broad categories (white, red, rose). I love that they have a list of cheeses and small plates, with very good descriptions and suggestions for what wines to pair with what cheese. The service is knowledgable and friendly and not to mention that our guy was really hot and had a Scottish accent. He could've suggested motor oil, and I would've thought it was good. But luckily we decided to go with a bottle of a nice Pinot Blanc, which the staff kept to chill and vigilantly refilled with each empty glass. What a great place for a warm NYC summer night. read more

Ten Degrees is easily one of the best happy hour deals in the city, 2 for 1 until 8 p.m. on cocktails ($12), beer ($7-8), and wine ($8-15). It's straight forward and they don't mess around with the drinks, or treat you like a second class citizen because you want to save a few bucks. They use good ingredients (no wells here!), the drinks are interesting, and you don't have to get the same one twice. I've mainly been on weekends around 5-6 and it seems like a good time to go, not too crowded so you can grab that bartender to make that second Manhattan (they use Maker's for happy hour - unheard of!), Gimlet, Moscow Mule, or what have you. They also have a pretty good beer list, ranging from the mundane (Presidente) to the mun-sane! (Riverhorse Triple!), and about 40 glasses of wine. Not bad at all. If you are partaking in the 2for1, you'll need to eat. The paninis ($9.75) are a good bet, as well as the olives and cheese selection (Humboldt fog! cashel blue!), though a little steep ($21 for 3). Also, Anthony Mackie was here last time I was. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me. read more
