The food was really nice, though I think we expected that the mortadella would be a hot sandwich. I think the burger is just a slight step down from some of the better places I’ve had in the city (Nowon, Au Cheval). While certainly it’s …

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We arrived at 5:28, 28 minutes after they opened, and we got the last table. People were pouring in putting their names on the list constantly. While waiting, people were enjoying delicious cocktails at the bar and the …

new best burger option in the city. not a smash burger, more like a red hook burger without the trek to red hook. I can see why there will most definitely be lines and waits for tables - no one else is doing low key elevated diner like this, especially with these reasonable prices. happy we got to try it before the masses.

More of a smash burger guy but this place really surprised me with how good the burger was! It was juicy, packed full of flavor, and had a nice helping of onions underneath the patty. Overall it felt well balanced and is very likely a top 5 …

New York has conditioned me to pay $23 for a burger and fries and consider it affordable. I was like "wow finally a reasonably priced burger and fries..." …

There’s a wait depending on when you go. It’s not a place that’s is so uniquely excellent that I recommend waiting for but it is certainly a place that if you luck out and there’s no wait, you take advantage. The martini and the burger are …

A nice bar with a classic burger. Juicy and well executed. I was able to get a table without a reservation but make sure to drop early because it’s quite popular. Service is fast and friendly. It’s a bar with music and ideal to hang out with a group. Prices are good for the burger

I got there about 5 minutes before opening. The waitress was still setting up the tables. As soon as 4pm came she took me in and asked where I wanted to be seated. Upon seating she asked if I knew what I wanted and I ordered the happy hour …

Walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. The Bar is very cramped but we were able to make it work. Food came fast and Bartender was very attentive and filling up water constantly. Fantastic Burger!

The best burger from East Village. An awesome atmosphere, vibrant and cool. Also, the draft lager combined with the burger is just the perfect combo. Should be on everyones list.

I come here all the time for the cheeseburger and fries—it’s hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. Always cooked to perfection with a great bun, and it digests well since they blend it fresh daily. The lemonade, Caesar salad, and fried …

This bar was such a pleasant surprise! We didn’t expect the food to be this good. The burger was great, of course, but even the cucumber side salad and the plain baked potato won us over. The dim lighting created a cozy atmosphere, and the service was perfect. We’ll definitely be back!

Love this east village bar. The Lions Bar serves great drinks and also their viral burger at an affordable price. The crowd is energetic and so is the staff. Best to get there when open at 5pm if you wish to avoid any waiting since they’re …

Great drinks and food! They make a mean martini and an excellent cheeseburger. The cucumber salad and mozzarella sticks were also delicious. This was a great spot to grab drinks after work, our only complaint was no air conditioning!

Great new spot for a solid A+ burger. The burger was outstanding super juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. …
