Nice place but i didnt like the Burger - small and not so tasty.
Always a favorite. Inside is a time capsule to the past The most unique bar on that block!
They are more like 4 stars but the waiter was ten stars! He was funny, cheerful, and a good dancer. I wish I knew his name.I would go there again if I want to have fun night, dance and hang out with friends.
You can’t beat this iconic throwback that will always result in great stories, great entertainment, and a vibe that makes you forget you’re on the UES… from the retro decor, throwback DJ sets, and addictive burgers, Ethyl’s is an unpretentious time capsule that never disappoints.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff favorite bar in all of NYC
So much fun. Highly recommend. Great drinks, music and ambience.
This was one of the coolest places Ive been in NY. Ive been to a couple of nice bars here in the city, but the vibe here is awesome. I didnt hear one song I didnt like, and the food was outstanding. Adam was such a great host and the staff was on point with everything. Highly recommend this place. Great spot.
Ethyls is one of my fav bars in nyc. Great music, awesome drinks, good vibes. Youll always find me on the dancefloor doing the hustle.
That 5 dolla burger is unmatchable (not in the Tinder kind of way 😉). Amazing vibes.
Decent beer selection. I wouldnt call it a trendy crowd but the place had plenty of folks at 2:30 AM. Pretty dark inside. Lots of seating and music. Good for a night out with friends or pub crawling. If you are not picky this is a decent place.
Come here pretty often.. honestly the servers arent always the nicest but aside from that, this is a super fun place with great music, dancers, and always some classic movie playing on tv. Bingo some nights is fun and different. Drinks are good and affordable. Also, surprisingly good burgers and snacks. Gets pretty crowded on weekends.
You wouldnt think a place that is first and foremost a bar would have some of the best food around, but boy does Ethyls provide!Their cocktails are great, the food is phenomenal, (Highly recommend the cheese curds) and the staff is attentive and amazing.
Nice small place to drink and dance a bit. They had scantily clad dancers on the counters, but without making the situation actually feel like a strip club. It was fun. The $5 burger is totally alright and a legit bargain for a bar in NYC.
Always fun. Great music. Killer $5 burger. Go Go dancers, but very tastefully done so one doesnt feel awkward bringing a date. Theres always females and makes in the crowd dancing.
Great service, outdoor seating, inexpensive and unexpectedly good food...and all that in the UES!...oh did I mention alcohol and laid back atmosphere?!
Interesting place, to say the least. Cool Disco themed bar and grill with old 70s movies playing on their screens during the day and Disco music with videos on the weekends. Food is also actually pretty good! A cool local spot to go dance on a Saturday night if you are craving old school disco jams ;)
If youre a fan of 60s/70s disco music, this should be your first, last, and only spot. Great music, reasonable drinks, and fun go-go dancing late at night. Definitely worth your time. The BBQ chicken sandwich and burgers are delicious and hit the spot.
This place is great. Awesome 70s disco music and vibes, nice dancefloor with a friendly crowd and some regulars/locals. The age range varied from mid 20s to late 50s but somehow it all works together.If youre looking for a good night of dancing without all the downsides of a standart nightclub (i.e creepers, packed, smoke) this is a place for you. Also, entrance is free ;)
If you don’t like a retro vibe, just stay away and let us enjoy. 80s and 90s music, posters and vibe. Lots of fun and reasonable drink prices.There’s a bit of an odd mix between dressed up women in tune with the vibe/era and ‘bro-fist dudes’ but otherwise a good time for all.
Solid, good bar. This would have been everyones go-to neighborhood bar if the neighborhood was the Lower of the East Sides. But being on the Upper East Side, it is something of a novelty with its cool, funky, retro vibe. But most importantly, their Happy Hour $5 Burgers are totally worth clocking out earlier with the headache excuse. Friendly, attentive service and good beer selection too!
Amazing atmosphere, cool music, feel good vibes. Nice staff, good, friendly service with a smile. Really enjoyed our brief time here, will definitely return. Great happy hour food & drink, awesome value for money & the disco curds are just delicious, as well as the cinco dolla burger. Thought the French onion mac n cheese was overpriced & burnt in comparison. Overall awesome though.
Another great bar in the UES!
Im from CA and have been to many a dance bar. This place is amazing! $5 burger is delicious. Go-Go dancers have moves and kept the vibe up all night. Worked up a good sweat dancing to the 70s music. Will definitely be back next time Im in NY!Yea its pretty loud, but the FUNK is best played at MAX volume! Yasss!! lol
Great place, and the $5 burger is real. But Im uncomfortable with the atmosphere and themes and what they mean about women. I understand kitsch and nostalgia but take a look around-- have we really come that far? And are you really sure that all the objectifying and go-go dancing is ironic? Look, enjoy it if you like-- all Im saying is its not the place for a radical feminist like this guy.
Do you like 70s and 80s s music? Like to dance? Like a great drink? Vintage dance videos on the big screen? Random go-go dancers? Maybe a Burger at 2AM? This place is your jam. Great Upper East side spot, convenient to 86th St station.
This is my regular spot for a relaxed weekday drink. Weekend has girls dancing on the bar and place is packed full of bridge and tunnel people so I would avoid it then unless that is your crowd. Atmosphere is punk with a bit of 70s disco flare. They play old movies and dirty cartoons on tvs.
Fun atmosphere, good 70s rock and disco music, space to dance, and very friendly and hospitable bartenders and waitstaff. My burger was ridiculously good for $5 and our excellent waitress kept the Fat Tire pouring all night long.Docking a star for the owner, who is very unpleasant. I wish I didnt interact with him but he gave us no choice. Try to avoid him if possible. Older macho Italian guy who gets off on being a chadrool. Kinda makes me sad my money went in his pocket. He didnt ruin our good time, though!
I love this place. The vibe is very chill and they have a great happy hour. The food is good and the $5 dollar burger is tasty. On Thursday there are go go dancers . It is a fun place to be .
Some of the worst service I’ve ever had and I’m really not expecting much when I go to a bar. We grabbed a high top in the bar area and were told it was table service — great! The waitress took our initial order and then as it got busier (Friday night) we never saw her again. After our first round had been cleared and no one asked if we wanted another, one of us went up to the bar to get another round and our waitress came over and told us not to do that and that she’d bring our check over without asking us if we’d like more food or drink. We settled up but were still working on our drinks. Then she came over and told us we had 10-15 more minutes at the table because she had a reservation coming....2 minutes later she comes to seat her reservation and tells us we had to go then.The bussers were pushy and rude and the drinks were watered down.Don’t waste your money.
Amazing bar ! great music ! Great crowd ! ... but the owner/manager is a bully with a power trip who’ sits in the corner / hits on girls and threatens guys with his bodyguards , it’s really a shame because he ruins everything! I am so disappointed ☹️
A really really fun bar retroactive to the seventies! It is actually as if one stepped back in time to my beloved 70s. There is one magnificent bartender called Gavi, who isthe handsomest guy. Also, they have strippers, three or four times a week. This bar is a must for anyone who lived and thrived in the seventies....I dont know what has happened to this bar lately. There is one Norwegian female bartender who castrates every single person who enters the bar. I will never go to this place again as long as I live.
Love the vibe, great fun. But, dont charge me extra for ice(!) And for the olives in my martini(!) !! Also, dont jack $5 well drinks to $10 after happy hour. But, free live entertainment is great. Food is tops. 4 stars if you fix the first few issues. That said, I still love you enough to stop whenever Im in that nabe.
Interesting - kitschy place, with a bit of a funky vibe. Their menu is short and focused on very typical bar grub. Good execution, but nothing special to go out of your way for.We had the misfortune of going there while they must have been hosting some manner of social mdeia event. You can only watch a certain number of idiots take food photos before you get fed up and say we gotta go.
Nice place, great 80s songs, theres go go dancers, nice fun place
I came back to this bar after 2 years and was kicked out by Justin the “manager”. I was sitting outside with my dog. It started raining and the waitress told us we can wait inside until the rain stops. We went in and Justin immediately kicked us out. My friend and I had a full beer that we just ordered. He was so unprofessional and rude. He didn’t let us wait near the front door until the rain stopped. The rain stopped 5 minutes after we were kicked out. I just had the worse experience of my life. I have never been kicked out of a bar and I wasn’t even drunk. He didn’t even let me explain that the waitress offered us to come inside for a few minutes. He asked me to shut up and get out. I understand that dogs are not allowed in a bar and I was not trying to impose it. It just started raining hard for a few minutes. It literally stopped 5 minutes after. I would appreciate if someone else from that bar contact me, so we can discuss in detail. This should not happen to anyone else.
The service:Had the worst waitresses. She was constantly on her phone, and was so busy in her phone conversation that she never attended to our table.(mind you we where the only customers in the building) she was extremely rude, and impatient with us.The food:The food was disgusting. The fires were burned, the chicken was over cooked and dry. All the food taste like it was cooked in old cooking oil. Just disgusting! We spoke to manager and got him to take off majority of the food because we refused to eat it and pay for itThe drinks:We had a total of four drinks and I must say they both were nasty. The first was some sort of a rum punch and it taste like pure grapefruit juice. We had to ask if liquor was in it. It was bitter, sour and taste like pure juice, so we had them exchange it for something else. By the time the second drinks got to us ( becuz the waitresses was busy on her phone our drinks sat at the bar until she was done with her phone conversation) the ice had melted and made the drink taste like water with a splash of cool aid in it . It was disgusting.Overall will not be returning to this place
Awesome bar, with great retro music (best of the 70s, 80s, 90s), good drinks and (for no particular reason) beautiful dancers dancing on the bar tops. Over-the-top, fun and sexy. A must-visit on the UES.
The supervisor bouncers are up on their high horse. They will eject someone for having a good time, rather than ask why such a good time is happening. It’s a nice place but lacks clarity and justification to develop into a reputable location.
I was threatened to be raped and murdered by a man and his friends while I was out with my coworkers at this bar. I said excuse me to a large man who shoved me and he started cursing me out, threatening me and my friends, including taking pictures and coming over to say to watch myself on my way home. The bar tenders tried to charge their own drinks that they took with us to our tab and didnt alert us to when we started ordering after happy hour. Our bill was nearly 300 when it first arrived. I had to argue at the end of a long work week with them about how poorly they kept their records and bills. We didnt feel safe telling management about the threats made to us and the intimidation and rape threats made to us at the bar. Dont go here. I had to stay on the phone with my friend until I went home and I still dont know what the guy who threatened me did with my photos. Im scared to at the least but I refuse to be bullied by white men with low self esteem that gets people killed. This bar fostered this attitude. Avoid and boycott.
Bill had extra drinks. They removed but then made max gratuity mandatory. Tried to give free shots with still extra drink on bill. Said no just please correct. Staff tries to justify value of free shots. Stand our ground. Staff gets more angry at us. Finally bill correct but gratuity still mandatory at 20% for what had become unbearable service. Paid and left in frustration. F that place
Usually like the place, ran into the bar owner tho who was clearly racist didnt want to let in 3 black gay guys in because apparently they werent letting else in. And right in front of us let every white person and was open a hour and half longer. We seen this waiting for our friends still inside. Maybe the owner need to work that gut into a better attitude
A fairly odd place at times, and at other times fun, unique, and interesting. Not a spot you expect to find on the UES. Points off for the bouncer hollering at everyone to get out with no warning at around 3:30, maybe only 10 minutes after last call. Couldnt finish our drinks and honestly felt quite threatened to leave.
This is a cute place but I just paid 8 bucks for a tiny bacon cheeseburger and 5 bucks for a shot drink. I would have walked out but 1. Im in the service industry also. 2. That is bad karma and 3. I am fluffy and delicious and cant run that fast. Save this place for a date and let him spend his money.
Bartenders give different prices. Rude in general. Fun place but buyer beware. Theyll easily ruin a perfectly good evening.
Watched Fort Apache the Bronx on TV; The French Connection burger (caramelized onions; gruyere cheese; bernaise aioli; Balthazar brioche bun; side of French dip) - good
Incredibly rude server showed up at our cocktail table demanding we buy additional drinks in order to remain standing there. SO rude. Won’t be back.
We had so much fun. The place has great people working for them. They made us feel welcome and wanted to make sure we were having a great night. Great venue for a fun night out with friends
Epic $5 burgers. You can have 3 for something like $15. Ah and gogo dancers on the bar.
Great random bar. Gogo dancers, amazing music. Such a fun bar. Bartenders are so much fun. Say to Spencer and Gabriel for him. They are great!
They host a lot of entertainment, but the staff are only in it for tips, not the enjoyment of patrons. If you try to speak with someone who isnt your designated server, youll be shooed away or ignored.
Sooo I love this place. Used to come here allllll the time precovid.I tried calling and going on their website, but I couldn’t tell if they were open. I went on night on a Thursday or Friday after 5 and they were closed. Does anyone know if they are closed for good? :(
This place has got a vibe. Its a dive without being a dive. Really friendly staff and great beer selection. Enjoyed the bar snacks like fried pickles also!
Definitely an unique place indeed
Came here during happy hour on Sunday, it was 5 dollar beers and nachos, cant go wrong. The bartender Savannah was very helpful and friendly.
What can I say...probably the coolest place on the UES! with great food, movies + music, and of course staff. I was brought in by a regular and became a regular who has now converted others into regulars. It’s just how it happens here.
Horrible! I waited for a while to go to this place, the chef was over an hour late, service was horrible, the only redeeming factor of the entire trip was at the manager took drinks off our bill. Sad to say, I will never go back
Always pleasant place to go Jeff is absolutely wonderful ❤️when Omen is a DJ its lots of fun love my baby Omen ❤️ cocktails and food are delicious highly recommend for great night out experience
If you like disco and pre disco funk you will enjoy Ethyls. Complete with go go girls dancing on the bar. Good light bar fare. Nice crowd.
Good spot. Decent drinks. Attentive (but not annoyingly so) bartenders. Fun place for a girls night out.
Really unique bar with a retro atmosphere and great happy hour - and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Don’t skip this place
Do they ever pick up the phone?? Food was mediocre, fries were burned. Service non-existent.. The place is divey so I wasnt expecting anything better. I also left something important by accident and called them several times but they never picked up the phone and lost it. Unfortunatley I was visiting so I couldnt go back in person. Never again.
Only had drinks here but Im definitely coming back for the food and the line music.UPDATE: Ive been back a few times now and I can vouch for the food and friendly service too!
HOP into a time machine and be magically whisked away to the 1960s vibe with classy Go-Go girls and a great staff. Adam, the manager, keeps the party going and is super friendly.
Drinks added up quickly but that’s my own fault cuz I can’t do math. Cheese fries were great. Frickles were great and I love mezcal. Thumbs up.
Take a stroll back to life in 80s NYC, with grit, classic posters, memorabilia and DJs spinning period sets. Have a $5 burger and sip from a vintage plastic glass while contemplating what youve done with your life since then or wondering why you were born a little too late.
Fun ambiance and vibe (it is a go-go after all)Be warned, if you go on a busier evening (fri/sat), staff is constantly walking through groups of people and can be very touchy (not in inappropriate way, but our lower backs and shoulders got like 20 pats throughout the evening).
Great inexpensive dive bar to catch up with friends! This place also plays good music and I will return for the calamari!
Really nice 80s setting! Loved the games and interaction they have with customers. Food is just ok but the service is worth it.
Its a cool spot and all, but why do the dry veggie burgers need to be $14, while the other burgers are $5? Too big of a price discrepancy.
Really nice bar. Was invited here for a get together and had a really great time. Staff are super nice and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay here. Was quite entertained.
Titts are next to none. The undertaker manager kinda a jerk but keep on wearing your leather jacket thing. He is the only negative about the place yet we still gave it a 5 star review
Fun place on the otherwise rather mundane UES:)
Solid place to dance, tho small so gets a bit packed - early bird gets the tables in back! Also $5 burgers available late night? 👌
Amazing happy hour. Go there for $5 food and drinks specials everyday. Awesome neighborhood dive
This place is always different. Pretty hit or miss. Sometimes the food is great, sometimes its slime. All in all, good music and bar vibe.
Might be the best burger Ive had in the City, and only 5 dollars! Also, their drinks are great and their happy hour is generous 🍻
Their five dollar burger is well cooked and good for the price, but it is quite small. The service is pretty poor though, and the decor is quite odd.
This place is a neighborhood gem and a favorite haunt of mine after I get off work. Good food, fun atmosphere, lovely staff.
Folks need to pull the stick out when reviewing on the net. This is an excellent bar, with a vibe theyve saved from the 70s. If youre not a New Yorker, maybe try Times Sq.
What can you not like about ethyls?? Had bingo night (dunno why), awesome drinks, oldies 80s movies on the screen and perfect bites. Just loved the whole experience!!
Fun atmosphere, dancers on the bar, decent burger, very loud, great music
Sleezy bar with sleezy bartenders. Especially the fat one with the mustache.. clearly he hates his job. Overheard him talking with a taller guy taking money out of the register and laughing.
By far, the Best Bar on the Upper!! Supper Fun, Amazing Music...resembles West Hollywood more then anything on the UES!!!
The staff is amazing, the food is incredible, the music is awesome and dancers are beautiful. I love this bar!!
Great vibe. Love the location and the people were interesting none the less
Good cheap burger WAAAAAY over priced cocktails. A whiskey ginger or a gin and club will run you $11.
Fun, slightly naughty venue in an otherwise tame area. Live entertainment is great, the food is good and simple and the drinks are pricey fairly for the area
A ton of fun! They commit hard to the 70s theme, and its a ton of fun to play along. A really good place to start a night out
Great place, only issue is music can be a tad bit loud sometimes but still great place to go and hangout with friends with reasonable prices.
Great place with the best 70s music! The burgers are great and only 5 dollars! Love it
Great atmosphere good drinks fun activities and a burger better than most and half the price.
Great customer service and the veggie burger is EVERYTHING! However, I went for the macaroni and cheese and it left a lot to be desired.
Chill place to hangout for happy hour. Drinks are cheap. Burgers are good. Staff is nice.
Super fun and relaxed bar. Loved the 70s theme and music. Will definitely visit again.
Fun place but watch your bill. Sometimes they try to sneak extra drinks or shots on your tab when you sit at a table!
Fun atmosphere waaasy overcharged for low brow drinks
Good service, friendly atmosphere and they play great ol schul movies. Good for beer, wine and cocktails.
Cool spot. Music is perfect. A mix of 70s and 80s beats thats just right to dance all night to
Delicious, cheap burger and such great 70s music you literally cant sit there without bopping to it
Great bar shady bartend charged me 3 different prices for the same drink. Otherwise 5 stars watch your bill
Memorable experience. Dance drink eat at your own pleasure. 🕺🏿prices like is 1976!!!
Alice in Wonderland!! So much energy, and treats for all your senses.
Fun retro, go go dancers on the bar, good drinks friendly bartenders. Probably one of the best bars on the UES.
Fun place to go and dance. The Djs are great. The decor is a throw back to the 70s.
Great music, friendly staff and good vibes..
Bar is fun, burgers are great and the service is ok at bar better at table. Good value!
Fun place, lots of energy and the girls who dance on the bar are so much fun
Not quite a dive bar, but definitely a good place to chill at.
Fine place for Gen Xers to soak their memories while munching and drinking. Maybe a little dark and a little loud but maybe Im just gettin old.
Love the vibes here, and the $5 burger + happy hour options were great.
Stopped in for a quick drink during happy hour! Live DJ was great
Ethyls is the place to go. Late night, good drinks, great vibes. Live Dancers and Poppin DJ.
Always Fun music and reasonably priced cocktails in a causal atmosphere.
Nothing like a burlesque dance bar. Not typical for the UES and that makes it even more special.
Bomb place for happy hour, drinks are 5$ but the food is horrible and one of the waitresses is a lil rude.
Great vibe and decor. The staff here is like a big family. FOOD is delicious!
Unprofessional environment. Unprofessional bartenders. They speak rudely to people and take too long to provide service. Disgusting smfh.
Great music and live entertainment.
$5 burgers & fun dance spot. Great bar to unwind
Do NOT go here if you want to have a good time without bouncers who are into rape culture.
The $5 Burger surprised me, it is really tasty. Music and go-go dancers make it a really interesting place.
Their platter is the best drunk food. Ribs, fried cheese, mini sausages and all!
Pretty cool. Old movies playing and girl dancing on the bar. Went at bingo night, very loud.
Not a place to go catch up with friends. Great place to listen to way too loud 60s bangers.
The owner is super kool and very hospitable. You cant go to the Upper East Side without stopping by here
Good hamburgers and good music. Nice place to dinner and dance
Drinks are great, so is the ambiance. This is about to be my new neighborhood spot
Fun place! Go there for funky music creative cocktails and sexy dancers!
Good food and great environment, especially if you like 80s movies
Filthy filthy filthy.Had to walk 2 blocks to Use bathroom.Food is not good, and they refill their premium pours.Not worth the price
Great local spot. Not much flavor in UES, get your fix of downtown vibe right here.
Aweful place. Poor service. Bouncers are overwhelming and the owner thinks he’s the ****.Go to 5 mile stone 50 yards away.
Owner was wasted picking fights with patrons for leaving his bar. Big joke, not even worth it.
Awesome funkadelic place with dancers in the bar to help lift your spirits at the end of a work week!
Great vibe, good music
Good and weird bar that should be on the lower east side or Williamsburg. Nice to have on the upper east side.
Not too expensive, fish tacos are really good and clean nachos too ! Good service.
Server was super rude took a while for my party to even be acknowledged and didnt offer proper customer service check on all other customers but us and got upset at us for not tipping for her non service
Everytime it is different, and everytime it is awesome. Good food, people, and drinks... What more can you ask for?
Tons of fun and old school sexiness. Decor and videos/music playing cant be beat.
The staff is super friendly. This place has a really cool and relaxed vibe.
Great happy hour, great food, great bartenders! A NYC gem
Amazing burgers, great price. cool old school spot
It gets crowded but thats because its fun packed. Go-go dancers on weekend nights!
Great atmosphere, not overly crowded, and food is great
Best burger for $5.00 and great servers especially Ashley
This bar is so much fun. Old movies on the screens and dancers
Just celebrated a Birthday there. Great deals and a nice vibe.
Great bar awesome atmosphere dope bartenders
Great bar definitely worth a stop for a $5 burger.
Great bar! Nice for after work drinkings.
Terrible place due to sewage problem and Owners rude attitude.Went there once and will never return from how discriminative I was treated.
Cant wait for things to go back to normal. This place is a blast.
Unusual but unique atmosphere, good burgers for good price
Lovely place, dont come here if you wanna have a conversation though!
Cool code great live music..much needed place on the upper Eastside
Cool vibe with old movies playing in the background. They also play live music, very chill spot.
Very fun hip place great place to start the night.
No place to sit. Very expensive. 1 Stell, 1 Bourbon, $26.
Quirky vibe, great music, decent beer selection.
Came there quite unplanned, but I had a lot of fun.
What happened to DJ Tommy?? Miss his terrific choice in recordings 😟
Fun place, dancing, good music, good drinks.
Awesome bar in an otherwise fairly boring neighborhood
You need to change your Sunday hours because it states open until 4am and you’re closed all the time.
Used to be my most favorite spot on the UES and it still is!
Cant beat this place. The food is awesome and the staff is amazing
Bartender Ellie is hot and gives good lap dances
Fun retro place in the middle of frat bars and hifalutin spots.
Literally amazing. Super fun vibe, great music, just great.
Almost as loud as Spinal Tap and just as undeniably entertaining.
This is my new favorite place.I suppose Ill just have to move to NYC now.
Its a cool place. Drinks so, so
Great music, food and drinks.
You can find here good music, good energy and the best show
Loved the atmosphereThe dancers were amazing
Great burger and great for dancing on the weekend.
Good burger but stale/dry fries. Funny art but a total dive
Didnt expect a stripper but the burger is dank
I have witnessed discriminatory racist behavior by the staff and owner at this establishment
Swirling fun with surreal twists and turns. Great addition!
Great bar tenders and good food
Go-go dancers on the bar counter. What else do I need to say?
Not sure what to make of this place, its got an interesting vibe that leaves you confused, just like this review.
Best bar, amazing burgers!
Fun spot, will definitely go again and again.
A great time on the UES!
One of my favorite bars!
Cool atmosphere 80s music

2022-07-09Always a fun place. GO-GO dancers on the bar, obscure 70s and 80s movies, 80s music and a great crowd.
Review №2
2018-11-09Fun atmosphere and great bar food at this UES spot. Theres a new French Dip Burger called the French Connection thats a must, and a Pu Pu Platter with some great fried apps thats perfect for a few people to split - plus their famously inexpensive (and tasty) FiDolla burger (single is $5, double is $5) with a number of variations. Theres also a great drink menu, and they have gogo dancers once or twice a week to liven things up.
Review №3
2018-11-11Great place for an after party burger. Delicious french fries and awesome kind service. We got there when it as their last call but they cooked for us and allow us to get the best after party dinner.
Review №4
2019-06-04Ethyls is a time. The kind of time you have is up to you. Its not fancy. Its not for everyone. But if youre looking to let loose, have a drink, and dance to some retro music, theres a good chance youll be in good company. The bar features cabaret dancers (I mean literally on the bar), and Im not going to lie, their Fi-Dolla cheeseburger is pretty outstanding.

2022-03-13Great vibes! Music was great. The dance floor is small but we still managed to move! Drinks great!
Review №6
2019-02-14The food was budget friendly and tasty, the drinks were amazing! I ordered two rounds of the Hot Pants Punch, it was out of this world. Would have given it five stars, but the music was too loud, I couldn’t hear a thing.

2020-02-17A tragedy if Ive ever seen one. A 70s go-go bar with so much potential, yet laden with incompetent and rude staff. To start, the list of rulesposted on the front door are not only overwhelming and exhausting, but they are longer and arguably more complex than their cocktail menu. Getting into the bar is more challenging than going through airport security -- theyll make you stand in the cold for no reason. Then, you are forced to buy a ticket for $15 - multiple people who look very serious and have flashlights will confirm your purchase. Avoid drinks with jalapeño unless you are ready for a night of a burning mouth, indigestion and have Pepcid on hand. At this point, youll want to have fun, but the PTSD from entry and burning mouth have already put a damper on the evening.I admire the crowd that they attract, but the staff is extremely unfriendly. I was told multiple times that I was standing too close to a reserved seat which was really just a table that had been empty for over an hour easily. See photo of the waitress to know who you should avoid, although maybe its best to just avoid this bar altogether.

2021-04-28Fun dive bar with a great happy hour. Known for their $5 burger which is really good actually. They also have really good wings that they have a special on Wednesdays (#wingWednesday) which includes their Valentina hot wings and a cocktail. Ive tried their classic $5 burger which is pretty good. Its more of a slider, but its simple and delicious. Good place to check out if youre in the area.
Review №9
2021-08-06I legit love this place. The only good place on the UES for dancing. Also, their cheeseburgers are very good and well-priced. The music is always on point and usually very busy - but always able to get drinks / service. Very cool vibes.

2018-11-15The best burgers I had during my visit in New York! (#junkfoodjourney2018) quite small but really cheap. The staff were super friendly!
