Randolph At Broome
“Other days I've had the Texas porch sipper (not sure of the exact name) and some of their whiskey based cocktails.”
“About the price: the "augmented coffees" are $7 without the alcohol.”
“An amazing happy hour (half priced on said cocktails) makes for a solid, interesting crowd and lots of truly "happy" people.”

I love this tiny bar in the Lower East Side: the drinks are phenomenal (but not cheap!). The best is the Castaway which has gin, cucumber, and candied ginger and just tastes so fresh and – dare I say it? – healthy! Crowded and divey but fun atmosphere and cold delicious drinks.
Super cool bar that we always seem to end up when we are in the area. It's never packed to the gills like Mother's Ruin. Bartenders are a good time, the Dj was playing good music, and everyone was having fun. The cocktails were good and flowing. The tequila shots with a sangrita back are a lot of fun. Just be careful with jackets while you are there, 2 people had theirs stolen while we were there on a recent night.
THE WAY THAT MY FRIEND AND I WERE FULL ON HARRASED BY THE OWNER. (and who knows if he really even was the owner?!),
SERIOUSLY JUST LEFT AN ACRID TASTE IN MY MOUTH….
YUCK!!!!! DISGUSTING STAFF!!! CRACKED OUT!!
Honestly I've never encountered such rude behavior as that from the Spanish bartender and bearded dark haired owner(or so he said he is). Dramatic much?
Went here with my famous older Jewish accountant on a Monday and was rudely thrown out by the shittfaced owner and his vociferous blonde girlfriend who accused us of ordering 4 drinks for the two of us when in actuality they mistakenly heard the two other people order the two other drinks and oddly enough didn't know who to place the drinks with but with us?! It was an empty bar besides like 8 people total which is what's weirder…..
Please bartenders, for the sake of less drama in NYC, stop drinking and getting high/drunk while on the job. I say this as the blonde gf kept repeatedly going behind the bar and bringing back drinks to the bar area for her and her owner BF.
It was probly a case of miscommunication but they basically screamed at us to leave for ordering 4 drinks and not wanting all 4, then followed us to Tropical 128 where they proceeded to tell the bartender not to serve us! Seriously, do you really have that much time on your hands or just have very meaningless lives?!
It was just super bizarre because when 2 well to do dressed people in suits and a nice biznas dress come into your establishment looking to spend money on your services, meanwhile upping the atmosphere of this rather divey spot, why would you start a fight, chase us away and run after us-basically bullying us just because you cannot get outta your mindset that perhaps you were wrong and can't admit to it?!
Who does that?! Those people should really be ashamed of themselves and for all the revenue I'm sure they lose for that hotel bar. Not the smartest staff choices apparently…..
Never ever have I been treated so poorly and it really just goes to show you why I've never had the inclination to step into such a low brow type of place with terrible people running it. Bad energy!
This spot totally brings down the neighborhood and is clearly the weakest link of all the places on Broome st.
The sweet cocktails with fresh fruits were excellent. Two bartenders promptly served them.
The noise level was adequate to carry a conversation.
The tiny bathroom was clean.
I had a sour beer here and the warm quinoa and kale salad. Let me preface this by saying I don't generally like quinoa or kale. But this warm quinoa and kale salad topped with grilled shrimp was a banger! I ate about half of it before I was stuffed and had to ask for it to be packed. The shrimp was grilled really nicely, but the quinoa was the real winner here. It was soft, and cooked in an oil with spices that made it say "Hello!!" in my mouth.
My friends ordered the ribs, and each plate came with a heaping pile. The ribs were super soft and the meat fell right off the bone. The ribs had a sticky glaze to each of them too. All in all, a solid dish. Prices were a bit high but what else can you expect out of north Chinatown?
Great spot, wide range of drink selection and good food. What a simple concept executed well!
This is my new favorite happy hour spot and it's great for a pre-dinner drink while waiting for your reservation. $9 for a pretty expansive list of cocktails is a good deal in my book. The cocktails are really delicious as well, I especially like the Castaway and Strawberry Cucumber Fizz.
The place is big – lots of huge booths, tables, and standing room, and very cool-casual. Every time I've been here people are standing around and it's super easy to grab a booth for a group of friends.
The only thing I hated was the ridiculously loud music. I'm talking louder than a club rock music at 6 PM on a Sunday evening. My voice was hoarse after leaving happy hour.
Craving a burger, I stopped in during lunch with a couple of friends the other day and ordered a beer and burger/fries. One of my friends did the same thing and the other ordered a few sides as his meal.
We were in total disbelief when our requested food came in to-go boxes. We were instantly confused liked anyone else, as we were intending to stay for lunch. As we expressed our confusion to the bartender, she simply replied, ' that's how it comes" and walked away. Our entire bill was over $50 – I at least would've loved my food to have arrived on a plate, like it normally would for anyone staying IN for lunch. But who's complaining? The reason for the two stars was for the conversation my friends and I had. They are hilarious – my time was spent well.
What was probably the biggest nuisance of the entire lunch was when i went to the bathroom. There wasn't any toilet paper. Not even a wall mount for it. It was weird. Where do you guys have your toilet paper? There was also no soap in the bathroom (I checked in both bathrooms), and it was weird, because under the mirror there was a "employees must wash hands" sign. Thank goodness for the sanitizer bottle hanging off my purse. Thank you sanitizer gods.
I should've known something was up. It's in the middle of one the busiest neighborhoods in lower manhattan (and yes, I'm a New Yorker and not a transplant) and it was weird to see that place empty.
This place is forgettable.
For a divey bar, I'm a little confused as to what they're trying to push here. They seem to want you to try their cocktails, and they look great in the Yelp pictures, but then look very different and are far more watered down when you actually go there. Hmmm.
Came here late late night, after Randolph Beer next door had closed down. We were all forced to move house to Randolph at Broome, which sort of slowed things down, I guess. Not the worst thing, but it was clear that we would have preferred to stay at Randolph Beer. Anyways, we had a decent time since we were all mostly decently sauced, so I can't complain too much. I actually did like the space a lot, but there just happened to be more of it at Randolph Beer. The nice thing is that they do have outdoor space, so it should be a pretty decent place to hang out when the weather is nice.
We got a couple cocktails, although I can't quite remember what they were. I only remember that they were packed with ice, sort of watered down, and that they cost $15. I can kinda understand that it was the end of the night, but that's pretty rough, and doesn't compel me to try the cocktails during a normal hour. Didn't try the food, although the kitchen seems to be open pretty late. Food menu seems to be right on par with Randolph Beer, with mostly salads, sandwiches, burgers, and general pub fare.
Service was pretty attentive and friendly throughout, although again, didn't appreciate the watering down of the drinks. However, I did like the 2 big ice water dispensers at each end of the bar, which made it easy to keep (relatively) hydrated throughout the rest of the night, without needing to ask the bartender for a glass. More bars should have that, honestly. Prices are easily on the expensive side for cocktails and beers, but the food seems like a relatively good value.
Perhaps I need to try it during happy hour, when the drinks are less expensive. But for now, I'll stick to Randolph Beer next door for my happy hour needs.
