Tompkins Square - New York City

Not my favourite, but I'm not sure why everyone is hating on this place so much. Yeah the East Village isn't what it used to be. But we're not young anymore. It's time to move on. Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, it's a smidge pretentious. Yes, the staff here is a bit obnoxious and blase. Yes, most of the taps are stale af. Yes, you could literally walk a block over and find a better bar. BUT THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE RIGHT? I occasionally will pop in here because I'm too lazy to walk to a better bar, or all the better bars are full up. This place always has space but does seem to have regulars. I enjoy the food here. I've had hotdogs, shisto peppers, the chicken burger, and a beef burger All of it has been good but slightly overpriced. Do be sure to double check your bill because I have been charged double at least twice. Both times they were nice, but kind of annoying. Additional comment for COVID time They were very chill about our table of 5. The made a table for us and only made us order one meal. Which is cool. They seem like a bar that would make us all order something lol! All in all, only stop by if everything else is full. Not interesting enough to warrant an out of the way visit.

Wonderful Italian shop and deli. Remarkable selection for a small place, and more affordable than specialty imports often are. Fantastic deli with amazing sandwiches and salads made from the authentic products on the shelves.

Came here after the Dance Parade. The drinks are extremely expensive. 1 can of hard seltzer $8 and with tip $10. The hard seltzer just came out as a can and the waitress did not provide any ice. And the can was not cold. Everything is too expensive here.

I am absolutely horrified. My friend was unconscious after most likely having something put in her drink. We were out on a Friday night but were by no means overdoing it. She was not responsive and clearly in need of medical attention and the staff tried to send her home with me in a cab. Two large bouncers carried her out of the bar, sat her on the curb and a woman told me honey, you need to order an Uber. I can 't have her here. I couldn 't believe it. They were more worried about getting her out of there than her well being. I called for an ambulance and thankfully they were there within minutes. I was told at the hospital that I most certainly shouldn 't have taken her home with me and that 911 was the right call. Do not support this establishment.

Super ripoff Completely duplicitous and fraud on the drinks. $4 extra shot became $16 with mezcal. Attendant did not relay the price. Super sketchy. I paid like $26 a drink for a frozen drink. This is completely a joke with bad music. I wish I could it a lower rating. Please do not come here. My review: 0 Do not come here. Zero
