Nice bar. Good vibe, with nice Windows on the corner. It had a good crowd around 6 on a Thursday evening. They don't have much of a draft beer selection but we found something we liked. We got an order of the hand cut fries, which were good. The service was fine, not particularly friendly and the waitress made a mistake on our beer order, but it was no big deal. Nothing to complain about.
Stopped into V-bar with a party of three, all of us using the "hooch" app. Our server was super cool with the app and helped us order three cucumber cocktails, which turned out to be an amazing choice on that super hot day. The V-bar has a friendly vibe and an "everyone is welcome" feel. There were college students, older business men and a family with a 3 year old sitting in the window.
In addition to our "free" cocktails, we ordered a fried calamari app, fried pickles and a burger and beer special for $16. The food was surprisingly good, so much so that I would most definitely return, especially for the burger.
Our server and the bartender were super friendly and kept the ice water filled. On a hot hot summer day in the city, that's more than enough to make for a great evening!
I've only been here once, but I enjoyed the overall vibe. Their music choice was more lively then I expected and also featured a fair amount of throwback hits, which were perfect for starting my Saturday night. Definitely a casual spot for hanging out with a group of friends or a second date where you're reconnecting not so much introducing yourself–a tad bit loud. Trendy cocktails but nothing overly creative or hipster.
Place looks a bit rough around the edges but the bartenders are friendly and make some interesting cocktails. Not a big beer program; I think that there were six taps.
Did not try the food. Place was mostly full on a Saturday about 2:00 PM. Background music was something current.
As I recall the VBar down by the Seaport is much nicer.
Great brunch, nice servers. The open windows make for a perfect brunch atmosphere and great lighting. The best eggs benedict I've had in the city!
– This place is so cool and unique. It's not some huge major restaurant chain, but it feels much more intimate. Their menu is tailored more toward the gourmet side. Their unlimited mimosas on Sundays for brunch ($13.00) are SO good. Nice and strong. 8 of us came here for my birthday and we were treated very well, serviced only lacked a bit… when we were looking for refills on either water or the mimosas. I had the Three's Company Omelette with the home fries. Delicious.
Vbar is a good and pretty standard bar. The beer selection isn't huge, but has a few good choices of the slightly more craftish variety like Goose Island. Service is pretty friendly though a little slow. It is very nice in the summer when the doors are opened and you can sit with fresh air, otherwise it gets a bit dark and dreary.
I completely missed the part where Vbar is also a restaurant? We were too busy dancing away in that tiny space between the bar and tables. Luckily they let us in even though it looked like max capacity at midnight on a Saturday. People tend to hover by the front so there was plenty more space in the back.
Cheaper drinks than we had to start the night. Bartenders were dancing along to the music. A fun environment to let go and enjoy your night. One gin and tonic, and one vodka cranberry later I was still wishing drinks were stronger!
A great option if you are bar hopping in East Village! They brought back classic old school hip hop and RnB songs i.e. B.I.G., T-Pain and Snoop. Very few top 40/edm; frankly such a refreshing change in nightlife scene. Definitely not grungy like pubs or far on the classy side, but casual enough for jeans! Can't wait to introduce this gem to more people.
