This place is the perfect little summer oasis. I cannot put into words how adorable the decor is; beach umbrellas, wicker furniture, palm leaves galore, SO CUTE.
I had a couple watermelon margaritas that were delicious, while my friends stuck with rose.
I was surprised that the food was actually great! We had a variety of snacks, including some hummus, a pizza, and the tuna crudo, all of which were great!
It can be a little tricky to get the attention of the wait staff at times, but they were all perfectly helpful, and nothing took to long to get to the table once ordered.
Also love that this place doesn't feel too crowded like some other similar bars in the area. Very relaxed and chill atmosphere perfect for drinks with friends.
An outdoor oasis on the cusp of TriBeCa that you need to check out before summer in New York goes bye bye.
You could scatter a few umbrellas and serve me warm gin in a parking lot and there's good chance I'd enjoy myself. Just being outdoors with drink in hand is my ideal way to spend a warm summer night in the city. That said, Gilligan's is one hell of a way to sit around in short sleeves and jorts with a tasty cocktail by your side.
A lot of folks on this review thread have pointed out the high prices for drinks, however they seem to be right in line with any cocktail bar you mosey into around Manhattan. $14 is the going rate for a mixed libation nowadays. You could complain, but there's not much good that's going to do. If you don't like it, please sit in your windowless apartment and enjoy a Hamm's. Means more room for me on this fantastic outdoor patio.
If you're into blended drinks, order the watermelon margarita. It comes complete with a salted watermelon wedge as a garnish. It's the stuff summer daydreams are made of.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. How have I never heard of it or been there???? Built along the side of the Soho Grand, Gilligan's is a little respite from the busy streets of NYC. It transports you to an idyllic island community complete with pitchers of fruity drinks, people dressed in flowy white outfits and plush couches to sit on. Living the good life. I'll be back… hopefully tomorrow.
This place is PERFECT for summer. There are big trees, they have fun striped straws, refreshing watermelon cocktails, it's like being on beach. It's very chill and it's a great place to sit back and catch up with friends while having drinks.
This place is so cool and so much fun. 1 star off immediately for calling it a pop-up. Just because you change the decor, it is not temporary. Soho Grand has the space and it will always be there. Such a lame way of branding. Wonk wonk.
With that being said… It is such a cool little spot!
Drinks are a tad pricey, but it is a hotel bar. Drinks are very good and a lot of fun. They have their own beverage list. All of which you can polish off pretty fast. Decent beer list. You get a slice of watermelon (awesome) with your HellorHighWatermelon (gross). Lots of watermelon themed beverages.
Bartenders are cool and give you a generous pour.
I love everything about Soho Grand… which is probably why I "almost" live there. Gilligan's has a lovely vibe to it – I think the brunch menu is a little scarce and I prefer the dinner menu. Still, it's the yard and how can we go wrong with that.
Wasnt allowed to get a martini, and they have restrictions based on the neighborhood and the hours they can play music. Their aperol spritz is good and its a romantic/cute place with the tea lights to grab a drink with a date or friend. I think i prefer to go inside the hotel next time. At a thursday at 9pm service was lacking, took forever to get my drinks
