Luca Bar is a nice place to hang out and drink Beer or Wine if you are in East Village and have exhausted all the other more popular options…. It is not a bad spot but there is nothing to rave about. Service is good and fast. We got a pitcher of sangria for a great price (1L for $25) but the sangria is bland and I don't see any fruit.
We managed to got a table in the back for 6 people without any wait on a Saturday night so that saved us the wait, the leg work and the energy. The bad thing is there is only beer and wine. If you want liquor, you need to go somewhere else.
Worst Sangria I've ever had in my life! It didn't even taste like wine, more like bitter water. I regretted buying a pitcher. The fruits in it were completely saturated in the wine and burgundy to the point where you couldn't recognize what fruit it was, which is obviously a sign that it's not fresh. Gave me the feeling its been sitting out for days. So gross. A place should not offer Sangria if they are going to serve you this mystery drink. Also, the waitress was friendly but very slow. Took her 15 minutes to take our order and we were sitting at the bar. It's a very small place, not like they are crazy busy. Will not be going back here.
We stopped in to just grab a drink before a long day of walking around lower Manhattan. We got a couple of seats at the bar and were there for some World Cup action. We aren't huge soccer fans, but it helps when the whole bar is into it.
They have a good selection of imported beers and my girlfriend really enjoyed her sangria. 1 drink each became about 3. We got sucked in. They also had wonderful looking and smelling food, but we couldn't indulge, unfortunately.
The place doesn't look very big, but I really liked it. We talked about how much we really wanted to go back, so hopefully a review with food will be forthcoming. Until then, enjoy the drinks!
Meh this is just like every other East Village bar to me. Nothing special, nothing bad really but nothing special truly.
I had a weihenstephaner hefeweissen which was on draft which is my 2nd favorite wheat beer, so that was a plus and the bartender was actually a really sweet, cool girl (she had blond curly hair).
Unfortunately the acoustics in this place suck and it gets packed quickly and combine that with loud music and good luck hearing anyone..ever.
I hate to say this but I think I am too old for this……
After starting our Yelp Girls Night Out next door at Ten Degrees, Chada told us to head next door where there would be more space to mingle and chat. We took over the little alcove in the back, which consisted of an L-shaped cushioned bench with tables and chairs. It was definitely more cosy.
Even though I just stuck to a glass of water (do not judge), I must say any bar that servers Lambic Framboise ($11) is my sort of place.
Overall, not a bad bar. They handled us rowdy girls with ease I thought!
Good (I mean it, good!) beer, friendly bartender, plenty of space, tall tables facing the street so you can people-watch or have a good conversation about everything and nothing at the same time – what else can you ask for?
No blasting music, no crazy moms with little kids (this is no Brooklyn!), just a solid spot to be left alone or with your company to enjoy the evening.
Ten Degrees bar was full, therefore I came here. The beer taps weren't working, so we were only allowed to have bottled beers. Not cool. I had the original sin cider which was $6.
The only good thing was that this place wasn't very loud, there were many small tables at the side lit by candles, which was cute.
I seem to have a tendency to crash parties. And yes, there was a birthday party going on here. The birthday boy was decked out in feather boas.
Nice place, with a touch of romance being wine and beer only, and dim lights with exposed brick. Wine is reasonable by the glass ($8ish), and service is friendly. It's not a hopping spot, but good if you want to have a drink and a conversation. I'd come back and recommend it for sure.
