This West Village institution, which touts itself as one of the last bohemianbars in the area, is well known for the burger that lurks within its small, dark confines.
First of all it's super annoying that the place is cash only (with a rip-off atm in-house of course). As to the food- the chili burger is great but the fries are just plainly bad...
STAY IN LINE! If the host tells you 15 minutes for a table (even if there is no line), you have to STAND at the sign, otherwise, if you grab a drink at the bar, they assume you are no longer hungry.
No brainer: bistro burger is the best but the burgers err on the rare side so be cautious when ordering if you don't like your meat pink. The line is worth the wait.
I've been eating burgers at the Corner Bistro for over 12 years...solid stuff, but try their fries. They cook them in the same oil as the bacon so there is a hint of bacon-y goodness in every bite.
Bistroburger all the way + fries. Mine asked medium rare was more medium, thick and juicy tho!! The only very very disappointing thing is that everything is served in plastic plates... Really?!
Dopest burgers in the west village!!! Also very cool bar that is got to be like 200 years old. But no worries they have a plasma tv playing all the games :)
Corner Bistro, the last of the bohemian bars in West Greenwich Village, has been serving customers since the earlier part of this century. The original ambience is pretty much unchanged, and we like to keep it that way!
