We loved popping in here for a drink before dinner. The rustic interior inside is great and our cocktails were fantastic! Our bartender was also extremely friendly. All around a great experience, enjoyed the open windows and doors and would love to come back.

One of the very best burgers in NYC - definitely in West Village (1000x better than Fairfax, sorry!) Have been coming here for years - tonight I really appreciated Collin as my waiter. He was on top of it and very sweet. Thanks Collin! See you soon

Steak sandwich was perfectly cooked. It is more of a friends or family gathering kind of atmosphere than just a bar. Server was inattentive, other than that everything was great

Fun small spot with a good cocktail selection in the West Village. I tried the Firm Handshake, Cucumber Gimlet, hot spiked cider, and orange gold. I would not recommend the hot spiked cider because it wasn’t that balanced but everything else was delicious depending on your liquor of preference. The orange gold was pleasant-better than expected and very smooth but not too sweet. People liked the winter chill, which is very mezcal forward. There is Macallan 10 and 12 here but not 15. The crowd skews younger.

Great, easy place to grab a drink after work. Not overly pricey, and the drinks were on the smaller side, which I appreciated.

Friendly neighborhood bar in the West Village. We've had wings, fries and tried the burger too, all really good. This, together with a great wine and beer selection and an eclectic 80's soundtrack make this a bar we return to time and again.

Cozy spot for some excellent beer and a phenomenal burger. The beer selection was great and we were able to try a few. We went in without any expectations but left with a new go to spot in the west village.

I’m sober and still go to Wilfie & Nell. Their Steak & Spinach Salad is the best and most nutritious salad in the city, considering the price and quality. Kevin and Rafael are the best
