Wonderful local neighborhood bar with history. Comfortable spot with a couple of families and young kids enjoying their early dinner in the dining area. Definitely worth a stop. The wise guy cocktail was really good. Yes - featured in Goodfellas and a bit of a landmark.
Excellent place for families and friends. Wonderful and speedy service. Great community bar that welcomes everyone so I will be coming back. The owner is thoughtful and inclusive of musicians so we were able to listen to the sweet sounds of Jazz musicians while eating delicious food!
The staff was amazing friendly and the food amazing! Purchased 6 tee shirts for gifts. Great quality and price. My first time going but definitely not my last! Vegetarian options: Have plenty of choices for any specific needs.
Had a blast, Great history and a must for any Goodfellas fan. The atmosphere was relaxed and the bartender was friendly and very helpful. The Goodfellas Deluxe burger was outstanding and while your enjoying a drink and great food you have Mae West and Goodfellas history to look at on the walls of this almost 200 year old Tavern (One of the oldest in the country)
We had our celebratory medal Monday dinner after the NYC marathon as our team knows the owner. But it was first time for me & to my surprise the food was amazing. The burger & chicken wings were hit. We ordered the chicken wings 3 times. The server was very nice & friendly. They have both indoor & outdoor seating. Didn't know Goodfellas was shot here.
