John Agapitos

A favorite cocktail bar , with great music and service. Great for a drink after work, or a “not-too-loud” Friday night. The bartenders are always on point with their drinks and suggestions.

Rubén García

One of the best burgers in the city , affordable ($12) and served until late night ! Good cocktails too

Gothamist

Cocktails how you want them at West Village newcomer The Happiest Hour, opening next week. Try the Little Red Dress , made with strawberry , cocoa and soda . It goes well with rum , red wine , or vodka . Read more

Village Voice

Link Ray ; This cocktail references Dr. Brown 's Cel-Ray, and coaxes celery 's sharper notes out with a French bitters called Suze. + Customizable with gin , rhum agricole, or jalapeno-infused tequila . Read more

Cassidy

Try the link ray or the surfer girl. There is only one bathroom for EVERYONE. Pee in the corner and hope for the best 🤔

Katie Conrad

This is a place where you can pair a mouthwatering burger with a crafted cocktail and enjoy both! If you want to party past HH, head right downstairs to Slowly Shirley to boogie.

DoubleDeuce

It's a hip vibe here and the seats on the sidewalk or just inside could be good for people watching but you have to move them around a bit. The back area is better for a small group.

J.R. Reed

Great spot for group IF you have a reservation in back area - otherwise it can be a crowded place to stand on weekends; hear there is great spot downstairs

Stacy Bo Bacy

Great place to people watch and laugh with friends. Tasty cocktails and burgers .

Alberto Simon

Happy place with tasty drinks and nice vibe

Tim Shea

Delicious burgers and cocktails . Very similar to a tiki bar . The bartenders are extremely knowledgable , as well .

Mike O'Sullivan

Burger is one of the best in they city , and you can’t go wrong with the burger + fries + MGD special

Ofir Weinstock

Went in there only for the burger , atmosphere was great and the burger even more so!

Kavita Baba

Great for people watching , crowded but not overly so, and reasonably priced drinks. I'm a fan of the link ray with gin

Luke

If you've ever wanted an upscale version of the rusty knot or the commodore, then I guess here you go

Edouard Mazel

Happy Hour Sunday and Monday ! You must taste the happiest burger 🍔 what a good deal at 10$

Romain Bernard

Delicious “the Happiest Burger ” with tots !!! Definitely a great Place to come and come again!

Zayed Khan

Yuppie central for now (might pass when the hype fades), but the decor and layout is charming and unique.

Xander Hudson

Skillfully balanced, delicious drinks, great Manhattan , super sweet bartenders . This place rocks.

Clay Fox

Are you white? Is your hair fake blonde? Is your mom's name Muffy? Then you'll love this bar ! Oh yeah the cocktails are pretty good too.

Laura Merritt

The drinks are delicious and the service was amazing. Love the vibe of this place.

Bailey

Burgers , fries and cocktails 🍔 🍟 I had the bacon burger , really good!

Zach Kubin

Combine lights out cocktails and music from Goodfellas and you just can't go wrong

Alex Robertson

great slushy drink ($14). Weird vibes. $20 card minimum

Egem Mogultay

One of the best burgers in the city 🍔 Highly recommended!

Nicolette Romero

Cool retro vibe! Try the Little Red Dress with sparkling wine !

Amanda Vinci

A not so cheesy tiki bar with unique drinks and quality bar food.

Dennis O'Reilly

Burgers , cocktails , bonzai chicken

Leah Hammerschlag

Tasty burger , but the +$4 fries are a joke. What is this, an order of fries for ants !? Fun bar/restaurant vibe.

when we roam when we roam

The Manhattan version of the commodore! Love me some tiki drinks

Delia Sarich

Amazing decor. Get the Salt + Pepper Broccoli !

Brad Garoon

The Happiest Burger is a take on the Big Mac. All the toppings are the same, except they also add tomato . The quality of the beef , special sauce , bun , and onions are superior in every facet. Read more

Caroline

Great food grumpy staff . The decor and environment are fun.

Lauryn Goldberg

This place is trash. Ordered a simple martini and it was really really bad - it even had a leaf of some sort in it that was not a part of the drink. Don’t even get me started on the wine ...

Zayed Khan

Link Ray with jalapeño tequila (as server recommended) was not the balanced pour I was hoping for. Might work better with gin .

Ben K.

Great new bar from the Acme team that harks back to 50's LA. Must try the In-N-Out inspired burger and cocktails . Don't miss Slowly Shirleys, the swankier (and pricier ) speakeasy downstairs.

Barton Smith

Great cocktails and tropical themed interior.

cece moncada

I am very sad to say that this bar shall be called the unhappiest hour. Very rude service and disrespectful of the latin American community. I will never return again. Horrible experience.

Max Rausch

This place is sh**. Rude staff . Overpriced drinks. Bad quality food. Tacky decor. Don't waste your time. There are many many better places around the west village . Skip this one.

Alex Ravenel

Kinda weird cocktails , but well done. Burger is surprisingly great.

Saif Dia

Brussels sprouts are a great side

M

Get the broccoli . It does not disappoint.

Josh Ferry

Fun atmosphere and good cocktails

Josh Aziz

Get the burger !

Doctore Aguacate

Ask for Agricole rhum drinks if you want serious flavor

Peter Kelly

It's nice, but it's also just a an upscale Commodore, which has better food and cocktails .

emily chen

happiest hour always turns into happiest hours here. great playlist and vibe. my go-to is the sazerac . get the burger -reminiscent of in-n-out, fries , and the broccoli . you won't regret.

Sam Winnick

Cool and trendy ! Good burgers !

K

sat in a tiny table with tiny chairs and was served a tiny beer for not a tiny price. Hostess told us that we may have to move eventually but it was so loud , we could hardly even hear her or ourselves

Minns Mokki

Didn't care too much for the red dress & loose lemon cocktail . Not much of an ambience too. Plain blah 😐 The waitress v sweet & but bartenders need to be changed 🙊
