((4.25 stars))…read more Eastwood is a chill vibes bar-restaurant on the corner of East Broadway and Clinton Street in the evenings and night. discovered it is also opened in the morning and day as a cafe serving up your standard coffee menu as well as a variety of baked items. the space exudes a relaxed ambiance that's friendly to the eye with a variety of seating options inside as well as outside. the space is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. stopped here twice recently to grab a Americano to go as well as a slice of olive oil cake to go, too. the coffee was competently made and the coffee tasted fine and what i needed as a morning pick-me-up. the olive oil cake slice i got here was very, very good-- a soft pleasant crumb held together by the firm exterior of the cake. the flavor is rich with a balanced sweetness that pairs with a hot cup of coffee very nicely. the service is quick and efficient, but i dare say it felt very sterile -- like there was no personality or warmth in interactions. Eastwood was pretty much empty in the morning both times i was here. if it was busy, i'd get the lack of small talk. oh well. nice place but needs more upbeat staff in the mornings imo.

The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, setting us up in a private corner with a dedicated bar--such a thoughtful gesture! They were incredibly warm, accommodating, and attentive throughout the night.The mezcal cocktails were great--well crafted and full of flavor. However, there was hardly any option to eat except for bar nibbles and tamales. While what was available was tasty, a more extensive food menu would make this place even better.The music perfectly complemented the vibe.

Augurs Well is a craft beer bar that opened in Manhattan, New York in 2011. It was founded by…read moreQueens-native Greg Nardello Jr. and his father Greg Sr. The elder Greg made a name for himself when he opened the dive bar Tribeca Tavern in 1996. Both Gregs went into business together when they opened a small bar in the East Village in 2011. The focus would be on delicious burgers and locally-produced craft beer. Initially dubbed "The Burger Shop", it was later renamed "The Village Joker", and then they finally settled on "Augurs Well" in 2013. Regardless of the name, the bar has earned a reputation for being one of the best craft beer and burger joints in New York City. Greg Sr. sadly passed away in 2021, not long after the Tribeca Tavern became a victim of the pandemic. Greg Jr. and his sister Angela opened Grand Eleven, a cocktail bar initially dreamed up by their late father, in 2023. I recently visited Augurs Well while I was in the Village to see a concert. I arrived a few hours before the show so I could grab some beers and bites beforehand. I had seen Augurs Well mentioned on several lists of great beer bars in NYC, so it was my first stop of the evening. The place was small, cozy and inviting. The draught list was very impressive! I first ordered a draught pour of Timber Ales' "The Offer" (Double IPA). It had lovely notes of citrus and tropical fruit. In addition to their signature burgers and beer selection, the bar also makes craft cocktails and offers sandwiches, wings, tacos, nachos, and other various bar bites. However, I only had eyes for a burger. I grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered the "Bacon Cheeseburger" (double cheeseburger topped w/ bacon, grilled onions, pickles, served w/ curly fries & chipotle sauce) and paired it with a draught pour of Grimm Artisanal Ales' "Maximum Happiness" (IPA). It was a match made in Heaven! The burger was so juicy and flavorful and the beer had lovely notes of berries and tropical fruit. If you're looking for some great craft beer bars in NYC then add Augurs Well to your list!

The space was quite crowded, but we managed to find two stools overlooking the street. They offer a selection of craft beers on tap, but not much darks to my husband's dismay. They did have an Old Fashioned for $14, which is pretty good in my book. As for the food, there's a good selection of munchies from tacos, burgers, and more bar finger foods. We ordered the 3 Cheese Sliders ($14) and Buffalo Wings ($14). Not gonna lie, but it's pretty pricey as you only get 6 wings, which makes it over $2 per wing. I was hoping they'd be some amazing wings, but they're pretty standard. I actually enjoyed the slider more, which were so tender and juicy between some fluffy buns. Good spot for a small bite with a cocktail or beer overall.
