  1. I have been trying to find deceiving places like the Roost in Big Apple for a long time. A coffee shop by day and a bar at night, what a great concept!!!  This was our very first stop of the night on the LES.  So, my friends and I by passed the coffee and pastries space, small lounge area and headed straight to the bar for DRINKS. This is a full bar with exposed brick walls, TV's above the bar and a large one on the back wall.

    They have a selection of 16 beers on tap, wide variety of bottles and cans for you to choose from in addition to the stiff drinks. Since I like my ale, the bartender (Brian) suggested the six point ale. It was very smooth but not as dark. The service was great and the prices are reasonable.

    I will see you soon "The Roost".

  2. Pretty tame but friendly staff and you can actually hear the person youre talking to. I liked the couches throughout and the candles everywhere

  3. Five stars for the music. Seriously. None of that top 40 crap – well, okay, maybe a few of those. But Jamie XX? Now that's what I like to hear.

    Very long bar that gets somewhat crowded in the front, but opens up a tad towards the back. Great bar service and an awesome selection of beers on tap.

  4. What a cool place.

    A friend took me here last night and I'm so glad he did. When we first entered, I must admit, I was confused why he was bringing me to a nearly empty coffee shop on a Saturday night. To my surprise, he led me into the back room which was a spacious bar lounge area. The place was packed and I was ready to order a drink.

    The bartenders are super chill and very friendly. At least the bartender who assisted us was awesome at even let me taste a few beers before ordering.

    Not only was the service nice, but the atmosphere was so cool. There was plenty of seating at the bar, surrounding tables, and even big couches. It's the perfect place to go with a group of friends. Very casual, but intimate atmosphere at the same time. I'm excited to bring my friends back.

  5. I love this bar! It has a speakeasy-esque feel to it since its conveniently located at the back of a coffee shop. Very small bar, but intimate. Go with your closest friends on a Friday or Saturday night where you'll be able to hold a conversation without screaming over each other or losing your hearing from deafening music.

  6. Tucked away in the East Village, this cafe-bar has everything you could ever want and more. I feel like I shouldn't share this review, just so I can keep it all to myself. But that would be selfish.

    This is one of the best cafes I've gone to. Why? There are comfy couches, outlets, Wifi, and clean (yes, clean. And spacious) bathrooms. What more could I ask for?

    Near the back, you'll see barn doors, which lead to a super nice sunlit bar-lounge.

  7. Perfect roomie place for sketching with friends! Grabbed a latte here which didn't even need to be sweetened and was perfect to me. The front may look small, but when you walk to the back, it's like another world. There's a bar there with couches strewn about. It was also pretty quiet in the daytime, so plenty of places for me to actually sit!

  8. I can only speak to the daytime coffeeshop, but it's a lovely, little spot. There's a back area that's really cute and has comfy couches, so don't forget to check that out. Best of all is that heir iced coffee is good and strong, even after the ice cubes have melted quite a bit!
