Grey Mare is a rare find. Andy makes this place so very special! He is attentive and makes a fabulous cocktail. Will definitely come back to Grey Mare - great experience!
Great service, relaxed atmosphere, awesome happy hour deals. Had the really good "Too Mean To Die" cocktail, also the 6 Jack's Abby Amber is a fantastic deal. Chicken fingers were freshly made with a tasty honey mustard dipping sauce. Would definitely recommend for a laid-back happy hour in the East Village
Upon entering this establishment on a Friday night, the buzz and excitement was immediately tangible. Playing mid 2000’s hits like Mr. Brightside kept the mood light and expectant. This bar-restaurant I imagine would be great for a date night or just fun evening with friends. I ordered the delicious birria tacos and wings. Both were gluten free. Music is a bit loud inside, so had to raise my voice for anyone to hear me. The bartender was very friendly.
Amazing bar with fantastic food and staff! My friends wanted to start off and welcome my birthday by doing Happy Hour Birthday Eve dinner and drinks and this was our first stop for the night. I booked through Resy and I spoke to Nelson on the phone who made sure we would get a really nice table and will also ensure that my pregnant friend will have mocktails the day of. Nelson and the team really delivered! Upon getting there they showed me this cozy private table near the bar but also gave me the option to check another area, how nice of them honestly! The private spot had dimmable lighting too, loved that. Awesome Happy Hour drink selections and prices were up to 8 for wine, one of the better deals here in NYC. The food was something else as well. The sliders were a big hit, the Buffalo wings and chicken tenders were really good and my friends loved the nachos as well. I think we stayed on later than we planned because we honestly loved it there and wouldn't have moved if we didn't have other set plans. Overall, would absolutely love to come back! Thanks so much Nelson and Team for the amazing service and experience there. We hope to see you guys again soon! Thanks for making it a fantastic birthday eve celebration! :)
Food was really really good here. I especially loved the truffle fries and the sweet potato tots. The bartenders were also very efficient and masterful- ordered a few drinks and they were VERY well balanced and enjoyable. I was thoroughly impressed by food and drinks esp at this price point!
can’t see any reason to dock points. just a trusty american elevated pub. good happy hour! 16 for beer and cauliflower wings
Amazing service, food, and drinks. Can’t recommend this place enough. Alesha (Elisha) is a gem, give her a raise. She let us watch F1 and was super attentive to your group. So thankful to have found this great spot in NYC!
Great spot to grab a nice drink and chill. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is clean and the drinks were really good. We didn’t get any food as we already ate before. Wouldn’t mind coming back!
