Some of the best mac and cheese in the city is whipped up here and it's only $8 during their daily happy hour from 3pm to 7pm. Also, a daily $5 cocktail special, and house whites and reds are only $6. Read more

The Cellar is cozy and perfect for a glass of wine, a few nibblies, and good conversation. All the apps we had were good, and the worlds best Mac and cheese was definitely up there. Nice service, too.
Courtney LewisMay 22, 2016
Cheese plates, kale salad and the famous mac and cheese are all my favorites here. Plus they have excellent cocktails! Date worthy spot but good for a pricier happy hour, too.

Go for the cocktails stay for the mac and cheese! Definitely tops the chart as some of the best in NYC. Special shoutout to the burratta with the honey balsamic glaze 😍

Amazing lounge/cafe with craft beers and cocktails, plus to-die-for mac n cheese plates!!!! All the cheese is made upstairs in their "factory" and ya can not go wrong with any cheese option

Busy, errs on the louder side in the evening. great for groups. lighting is dark, decor is stylish. I love the tequila cocktail. Service is 👌. The mac & cheese is very rich; go with the cheese plate!

One of my favorite spots in NYC! Fantastic option for happy hour in the area or for just grabbing wine and apps and hanging out. Super dark and intimate and sophisticated!

This spot has been discovered. Happy hour Til 7 on weekdays. To die for mac n cheese and comfy couches. Come while you're waiting for your table at Raines Law Room

You can't go wrong with one of the many innovative mac-and-cheese dishes at this dairy-centric Flatiron eatery, where aging cheese wheels and cow art serve as decoration. Read more

Delicious Mac and cheese. Pork belly isn't anything too special but the mushroom and cauliflower are AMAZING.

The Cellar sells their own cheese, charcuterie and deli sandwiches. But what makes Beecher's stand out from its competitors is The Cellar, the shop's subterranean restaurant and bar. Read more

I love this place for lunch, never been for dinner. The Patty Melt is spot on. Order one of the mac and cheeses to share with the table (or maybe 2 if you're feeling hungry!)
The Corcoran GroupNovember 7, 2013
We love the happy hour here, since it features $5 specialty cocktails, $6 glasses of wine, AND $7 mac and cheese (enough for a meal!). Make sure to come early before the place fills up.

Just one block from my office, this joint is my happy hour jam. Get the $5 cocktail or the $6 Cabernet with the cheese plate or mac & cheese at $8 a pop and is perfect to split with a friend/date.

Incredible happy hour. The simple salad was a perfect for 3 people to split, and then each had their own Mac and Cheese. That plus a few drinks each... Out the door for $100.
Glenn MondryJanuary 16, 2015
How did I not know about this place until recently?!?!? My new place for amazing mac and cheese and specialty drinks. The bartenders really know what they are doing. Great Atmosphere.

Drink: players club. The name lets u know it's going to be good. The bartender... I fell in love @hello. Food, I had the steak, Mac & cheese, ppl don't lie. It was divine! I'll come back for all 4 ;)

Their lunch menu is delicious. It’s a great spot for a (lunch) meeting because they have free WiFi! Try the tomato soup or the burrata.

One of my favorite happy hour spots around. From 5-7 weeknights, house infusion cocktail changes daily and is $5, glass of house red or white wine is $6. Great atmosphere. Service varies.

Be sure to steal samples from Beecher's in the shop above before heading to the basement. This place is legendary. I loved how you can feel the train go by just a little!

Awesome cheesmonger's plate (and we come from Paris, so we know our cheeses ;)), great pudding and reeeally good cocktails. Friendly helpful service too!
Nichole HortonAugust 13, 2015
Delicious cheese boards with cheeses made on site. You can also see cheese being made upstairs and can buy everything that you get on the cheeseboard.
Rachel KonikMarch 12, 2014
This place has such a great vibe, perfect for meeting friends after work. Great cocktails and a more-than-just-bar-food menu that is delicious.
Adam SachsMarch 24, 2012
Nice atmosphere and still pretty undiscovered so easy to get a table. Perfect spot for strong drinks and tasty snacks like a cheese plate or brussel sprouts. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Always packed around Happy Hour, but head over after 7 pm and grab a spot at the bar for wines by the glass and snacks. Great date atmosphere.
EvanJanuary 30, 2013
Go before 7pm for happy hour specials on drinks. Order the cheesemonger's plate (more variety than the Beecher's); 3 cheeses for a light starter to share, 5 if you mean business.

everything at happy hour has cheese
Colin LeeMay 22, 2016
Worlds best mac and cheese is one of the top mac and cheese ive had. Come during happy hour between 5 and 7 pm, weekends also.
Leanne ZJune 9, 2017
One of my favorite places in NYC. They don't take reservations for happy hour but if you get there early they'll sit you anyway.

The mushroom tart is everything I want in life. Just to come home to a nice, warm mushroom tart at night... what more do you need.
Paige CDecember 8, 2016
Delicious pizzas and mac & cheese! Wonderful staff. Love watching the cheese being made on the main floor!

All the mac and cheese is phenomenal but don't miss out on the flatbreads and ever wonderful entrees.
MicheleJanuary 10, 2017
Happy hour daily from 3-7pm includes $8 mac and cheese, $7 Caesar salads, $8 cheese plates, $5 cocktail special, and $6 house wine.

A little bit darker as you come downstairs so it's a little more charming. It's also usually busier than the upstairs.
Leah HammerschlagMarch 2, 2015
Loved the cauliflower Mac n cheese & the mushroom torte (though I wish there had been more crust). Wasn't so impressed w the veg gratin.
Stina P.June 26, 2017

Victoria DimJanuary 14, 2015
They make cheese right in the middle of Manhattan! Crab Mac&cheese is ridiculously great.
İpek A.March 3, 2015
One of the best Mac&Cheese... Even better than S'MAC. 3pm-7pm happy hour so you can have -small- mac&cheese & a glass of wine for $14
Mike NickersonApril 12, 2017
Good luck getting a reservation here. Tasty food, must get the charcuterie and cheese boards to share!
Brittany BeisnerDecember 11, 2019
Great, cozy vibe for a rainy evening in New York. Good for small groups and small bites!
markus gerdemannApril 8, 2016
The Kale or cauliflower mac&cheese are fantastic! It can get quite crowded down there and tables are small.
Anna ShapiroFebruary 9, 2016
Get the cheese plate, and of course the World's best Mac n cheese!
Nathan SampimonSeptember 28, 2014
Restaurant under a cheese shop? Ordering something cheesy is the right choice here. All the Mac options are great
Jodi MarquezJanuary 11, 2015
Best Mac and cheese! Amazing. Order the classic and also the one with kale -mamas lil chili peppers!!!
Lily FAugust 23, 2015
Mac and cheese is obviously great but all the grilled cheeses are too and the tomato soup is to die for!!
Christen ClinkscalesFebruary 18, 2015
Get mac and cheese. Any of them. I particularly like the curried cauliflower version. Amazing!
Thomas DalyJanuary 13, 2014
The patty melt, should be renamed to "The Mind Melt" -- AMAZING. The space downstairs at the cellar is super chill.
Calvin MultanenJune 7, 2015
Fantastic happy hour deals for wine and cheese. The mac & cheese is a must have
