stephiedooOctober 6, 2012Love the cocktails, will definitely be back to try everything on their cocktail menu. Also, the desserts are spot on. Their panna cotta with PB&J was a party in your mouth!
jessica m. hintermeisterMarch 11, 2013Cocktail-Bar Burger: West Coast–style cheeseburger...nicely crusted patty is on the svelte side, brioche bun is buttered & grilled. pickles & Thousand Island dressing=made in-house + fried fingerlings
The Corcoran GroupNovember 17, 2011We always learn a trick or two from the friendly bartenders who are more than happy to share! Be brave and try the Commando Cocktail. Go sweeter with the Sherry Cobbler!
Alex MizrahiJune 17, 2013"Trim, neat, and exceptionally friendly, this well-liked establishment has a small but useful dinner menu, a reasonably priced wine list with an excellent array of sherries, and—the reason it's..." Read more
Nicholas BeckJuly 17, 2013Drinks organized by style with one or two specials that change daily. Try Second Marriage (Old Fashioned), Whiskey Smash is also refreshing, Red Light Special.
Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011Great food & drinks. Right now, the whiskey smash is made w/ fresh peaches instead of apricots. TRY. The burrata & gin pairing board, olive oil-poached halibut, & flat iron steak are amazing.
Red FabbriDecember 23, 2011Great spot. Sit at the bar, the bartenders are great. The Hop Over is a killer beer cocktail. The half chicken is a delight (from someone who swore off poultry for 4 years).
Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012This East Village restaurant is outfitted with vintage wallpaper and pages from a 1915 etiquette text. Sample one of the pre-Prohibition quaffs, like the Sherry Cobbler (sherry and lemon juice). Read more
- Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the sherry cobbler. Bar mgr Dan Greenbaum adds raspberries muddled w/ a wedge of lemon & a splash of simple syrup to Lustau Dry Amontillado sherry. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011 Read more
NearSay NYCJuly 22, 2011One drink to say it all- Astor Painless Anesthetic. Unlike anything you've had before! The Beagle offers "pre-Prohibition-style mixed drinks" & a bar with dark curtains, dark colors and rocker music.
Valerie SecklerJanuary 3, 2012Great place for a memorable cocktail, fine for a meal. The space is cozy, with a limited number of tables and chairs. It was buzz busy in summer 2011. In a retro mood, attitude comes with the service.
Sam MeyerDecember 28, 2011The Crow's Nest is boozy and complex and bittersweet, but you really owe it to yourself to try a G&T made with barkeep Tom's homemade tonic. Simply superb.
Smog Cutter is one of the best beer cocktails you're ever likely to taste. Interesting menu but I usually go for a classic cocktail.
Serious EatsMarch 12, 2013A restaurant that pairs great cocktails to its amazing food. Good for brunch, too.
The Wall Street JournalApril 10, 2012The Golden Dog has a lovely smoky flavor. It features a peaty Scotch mixed with apricot liquor, Bénédictine, Lillet and bitters. Read more
Jonathan SeninFebruary 15, 2013I had the Flatbush swizzle, includes an excellent silky smooth ingredient called falernum. Served on crushed ice, mint garnish. Spring inklings
LaurenMarch 15, 2013If you get here early, and you're super nice, you can ask for a flight of sherries to experience the difference. Amazing!
Kim PhamOctober 10, 2013Half of my income goes straight to their bartenders & back to me in the form of delicious Whiskey Smashes.
Aria MDecember 28, 2012This place is incredible. Fun music, mouth watering food, and cocktails to blow your mind!
Brian BallanMarch 11, 2012The confit of legs of quail. Pairing board with mackerel. Lamb and the striped bass. All big winners.
Village VoiceNovember 7, 2011The Beagle does this latest trend justice with their Barrel-Aged Manhattan -- full of hints of yummy caramel & spice.
alex vbAugust 4, 2011From the NY CHOW Report on NY1: It's all about the chicken with foie gras, cheddar and fennel pollen. Gorgeous.
Kate MaxwellSeptember 30, 2011I had a steakgasm. Get it. Also, come with enough people that you can try everything on the menu
Ashley NegliaOctober 4, 2012The bartenders are awesome, and I totally recommend the chicken and grits. Delish!
Tal SafranAugust 16, 2011New spot! The bartenders here take their craft very seriously so order away. PS: it's not open on Mondays.
Try the Sherry Manhattan - The ice cube rules. The drink is good too.
Jay PatilNovember 8, 2012Go there on Wednesday nights. Their bartender Reynolds is an absolute genius!!!
Court KleinJune 7, 2012If you're here for brunch, skip a bloody mary and get the Balanced Breakfast.
Portions are so small its more like tapas regardless of what you order. Very tasty but over priced going by portion size. Everyone left hungry after appetizers and meal
