If you know the right people Lilly's hosts private events with free drinks! Luckily I know some of the best. Bittersweet, as my first was also my last time partying with the dapper likes of Lilly's!

Beautiful interior and quiet ambiance. Not your usual trendy crowd but everyone should come here at least once to appreciate the decor. Good for catching up with friends and a neighborhood gem .

Victoria Natenzon

One of my favorite spots in the city . Great first date spot , great food and this place is just SO pretty during the holidays. Gets very crowded so I wouldn't recommend going with a large group.

Madm Fia

Beautiful interior . Nice for a drink or two if you can sit closer to the exit. Too busy on the weekends and usually full of after work bankers and the such.

Ruth Tupe

The atmosphere is great for drinks and their cocktail and beer selection is nice. It is a bit loud in there with the music so I wouldn't go with a big group.

Great food, great atmosphere! Loved the mini Mac and Cheese and truffle fries !! Staff very friendly , a real gem of a place!!

Rachel Lauren Church

One of my favorite bars ! Food and drinks are great. During the week it's a quiet place to go with friends or for a date. Friday nights it's overwhelmingly crowded and the place is too small to enjoy.

Avneesh Kohli

Get the half pound burger , you won’t regret it. This place is also really festive during the holidays too, with a fun vibe, just like old school English pubs .

Andrew C

Just as classic and cool as the Times Sq location, but it felt more spacious ... maybe not tho -- handful of happy hour specials (til 7p) and great bar food options at all times!!

Deb

Nice bar , came here on a late night and was amazed by the beautiful decor!

Great lunch deals on Mon to Fri 11am-4pm. One dish and a glass of beer combination is $12. Shepherds pie is delicious!!

Mallory ????

Two words: Truffle Fries . PS: They serve Moscow Mules in the official copper mugs.

Lily

Great for work outings if you work in midtown. They have the trifecta for drinkers: good cocktails , selection of wines , and a bevy of on tap options.

Cali Zimmerman

Great night life with the world friendliest staff . It's easy to become a regular. Food is also solid. Pulled pork sliders are a great choice

Autumn Choi

Really good selection of spirits , cute Victorian atmosphere, unique gin & tonic options

Jürgen Kiener

18y old whiskey in an tumbler... Poor thing. Other than that: Try the cheesecake ! It's delicious. Lightning quick service and good beer . I'll be back!

Rebecca Balnis

Craft cocktails , private parties and burlesque . Please and Thank you.

Manasi Gandotra

They have the best house burger and Mac and cheese !!! Also their cocktail called the Lillie penny is great! Good beer selection too!

Tom DiMaggio

Good spot for a wide selection of beers , seasonal drafts , and cocktails . The bar is quite beautiful in design, friendly staff , too.

Justin Chase

Great Union Square Bar . Perfect for after work hang outs. Great apps such as 1/2 grilled cheese and tomato soup . The organic chicken lunch sandwhich is also phenomenal. Read more

Christina Chin

Place changes themes during the season..alice in wonderland rn, super whimsical and cute for date spot . Got shepherd's pie which was just ok, nothing to write home about

Dustyn Winder

Lunch special of sandwiches (burger included) and salads plus a beer for $13. Best deal around USQ.

Brittany A

Avoid the happy hour crowds and take advantage of the lunch specials instead. A great place to work outside of the office (plenty of outlets and wifi ).

Karin Rendelman

Nachos are huge! Wings are are breaded a lil which I'm not normally into but they have great flavor. Good beer too...if your into that sorta thing and a free glass of wine/beer with Yelp check-in!!

Kisha Chandler

Excellent food and drinks! Bottomless brunch is a great option

Tom Noh

Really good great ambiance good beer selection great place to take friends or a date

Krissy Spasevski

The pulled pork sandwich and choose the Parmesan truffle fries ! Amazing!

Compass

Whether you sip on a crisp scotch or a British cocktail , Lillie’s will make you feel right at home in the Victorian-style bar

Nathan

The $13 lunch with a drink (beer/wine) is a great way to combat your Monday or get your weekend started early.

Pahola Julieta

Great place, awesome service, stay away from the Crab Cakes . Not good. Mac and cheese is ubbbber cheesy, fries are superbly crunchie :)

Alana Cadiz

The appetizer plate (pick from 3 apps) is a good choice if you just want bites, along with drinks

Henali

Great post-work atmosphere during happy hour . For beer lovers -- try the Vanilla Porter beer !

Nate Beatty

Seats in the window are the best in the house. The best parts of bar seats plus people watching

Nicolr Patigler

Great place for drinks with a friend, if you go after work it will get busy and crowded

Arnaud Réauté

Very nice place. Very retro but it provides charm. Nice choice of food at quite cheap price.

Kelsey Tempel

The best holiday decorations I’ve seen at a pub !

Brian Zakrajsek

Find a place to lean and hold strong - this place get's PACKED on the weekends and evenings. However, the decor is worth it.

Dan Fetzner

The pulled pork fries are life changing. They also have the place done up real nice for Christmas

NearSay NYC

A classy Irish-Victorian hotspot that mixes location, ambience, tasty grub, and a stellar whiskey menu to form an exceptional megapub!

Gabie Kur

Your first check-in and every 5th check-in gets you a free pint of Lillie's Seasonal beer or glass of their delicious wine .

Ann-Mary

Decor & ambience are spot on. Central & cheerful with awesome steak sandwich & fries . Free drink with first four square check in! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Lizz Spano

Come for the Lillie Pennie . Traditionally called a "Moscow Mule " this mix of vodka , ginger beer and lemon served in a copper mug is the best drink they make!

DoubleDeuce

A little more calm and spacious in the back but plenty of liveliness all around in here.

Ingrid Stenquist

I did get 2 free drinks out of checking in on both yelp & foursquare here. Kudos to the waitress for allowing that. There are way too many deuches & yuppies on the prowl here for me to really digest.

Repe

Great service, nice to drop by for a glass of wine . Wifi works perfectly.

Jeremy Beker

Great place for lunch with an amazing special that includes an adult beverage .

Patrick Baskin

Great holiday ambience, worth a trip!

Jereme Bivins

Beautiful venue with very friendly staff . If you're looking for a nicer place to go for drinks, I highly recommend Lillie's.

Cakes ♡♤◇☆

This place is so cool. But bottomless mimosas I don't think so. Here for an hour had 2 drinks. This bald guy ( manager) dose nothing to help the staff . This place is awesome but need more help.

My mom might call this place, "that Victorian brothel", but I like to call it, "the bar with the great lunch special and the nice whiskey list."

Love the vibes here. There can be a long wait, but if you arrive before 9pm, it’s quite easy to get a spot. Crimson fix and Magic hour if you like gin-based. Sherry colada is an amazing tiki drink. - Elisa
