They helped us celebrate our daughters' master's degree graduation. We had drinks, jalapeno poppers and the chicken nachos and they were great. If you are looking for a casual drinking/eating establishment this is the one! We were hoping to go back but didn't get a chance this trip.

It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

A really cozy spot on a block where no other bar can compete. This is one of those places you'd never know about unless you've been there before, were invited by someone, or just happened to stumble upon it while passing by. It has that quiet, tucked-away charm like a true neighborhood secret. The bartender was great, the vibe felt relaxed and friendly, and everything about the space gave off that traditional pub feel, which I absolutely love. The background music was spot-on not too loud, just enough to set the mood. I really hope I get the chance to come back again. This place has that classic, comfortable energy that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

It was super plain and I had higher hopes for the dish. I would not order it again.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: The perfect East Village dive bar…read more The hubby and I were on our way to the Double Down Saloon when we spotted this place on Google Maps. We were intrigued by the name and reviews describing it as a "punk rock" dive bar. It was about 4pm when we got there, and there were a few patrons taking a break from the heat. We were looking for a dive and we found it: small and dark, festooned with graffiti and stickers, and there was indeed punk rock playing--perfect. We bellied up to the bar and my eyes went right to the frozen margarita machine--yes, please. It was heaven on a 95+ degree day. The hubby got a beer and bourbon. The drinks were cheap and the bartender was nice, even gamely posing for a drawing I did of him on a Post-It that went up with all the other little drawings behind the bar. Definitely a worthy stop.

The jazz band playing was great and the noise level was just right, you could actually hear people talking next to you. Drinks are $22+. Had an espresso martini and it was very good.

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
