Nice cozy spot to be at on a Friday night with friends. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered regular fries for the table and it was quite evident that it was fried in rancid oil. Well the wide range of draft beer selection balanced it out.

This spot is exactly what I’ve been looking for in the area. Great drinks, amazing pretzels (like literally end up getting one every time), and ideal vibe. Bartenders are super nice and the bar has a neighborhood feel which is hard to find in the city. Looking forward to many more pretzels. (Also beer + shot deal will be great for weekend nights)

Love the owner also, great conversations, very welcoming, creates a great vibe for the place. On top of that they have many parties going on all the time which makes your regular bar experience very special

Fresh/tasty cocktails. Welcoming bartenders. Dark/comfortable/laid-back vibe. Happy hour (weekdays 3-6pm).

Stopped by for brunch. Drinks were on point and we're seated right on time. Staff was extremely friendly though seating can be a bit tight it was great for our close knit group

Stopped by for a couple of drinks - which were delightful and well crafted. On Sundays the kitchen is closed, but they allow a local pizza spot to deliver.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. Our bartender Regina was fun to talk w and made me a couple great Manhattans. Definitely would try to come back on my next New York visit.

The famous original Oklahoma onion burger is among the very best smash burgers in all of NYC. Crispy edges, melty onions, it’s perfection. I’m also a big fan of the salted soft pretzel, served with beer cheese and pub mustard. It’s filling and pairs great with a cold drink. In terms of drinks, I always grab a Miller High Life or Teacte myself, but the cocktails all look excellent and well-crafted. Finally, in terms of vibe, I can’t say enough. The music is never too loud, the trivia is lively, and the open French doors add the perfect touch. It’s your ideal NYC watering hole.

The Gadfly bar is a fantastic little enclave that offers amazing cocktails and service. Hugo the bartender was phenomenal and attentive ensuring I was not without a drink. I ordered the Fawlty Sour (great name) and the Cup'o Joe. Both cocktails were amazing in different ways. Then Fawlty Sour had a similar flair to a Clover Club, but rather than raspberries it was strawberries. The Cup'o Joe was a very creative twist on an espresso martini that used cold brew and put itself into a tumbler rather than a martini glass. Both drinks were delicious and easy to drink! I would definitely recommend going here if you want decent cocktails or even some bar food.
