So we came in to try the burger but the gas was out. Was so surprised that the bar was offering complimentary pizza they ordered out of pocket! That's incredible customer service. Excellent happy hour deals and Shane particularly went above and beyond with great service and hospitality. 100% coming back even though I live in queens purely due to the service

A great neighborhood bar on the UWS! The vibe at this bar is unbeatable, a perfect blend of chill and lively. The drinks are top-notch, the food is some of the best bar food in NYC, and the team here is simply fantastic - they make you feel right at home. Bonus points for the awesome selection of free board games, adding an extra layer of fun to the experience. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

Nice bar located in the Upper West Side of New York City. We've been there on the evening before Thanksgiving and there were a few seats available. Staff was lovely with us the whole time - only complain is that a pizza took a long while to be served. But the quesadilla was much faster and very good. The place has many board games available to play, which makes the experience even more interesting.

A very sad birthday experience :( A warning to those who make birthday plans here-- I am very disappointed by my experience, which is so sad to say because I don't usually judge harshly in my reviews. But being that this was my birthday, and was lied at to my face, it was kind of a bummer. So...What Happened? I chose the upper west side to have my party so my friends wouldn't have to be hit with congestion pricing. E's made it easy online to book a space in their bar, so I reserved for 20 people. I guess that was too easy. When I got there, we were seated at a table in the front of the bar with only 10 seats. When I went up to the person that sat us down, I asked where our other table was because we had a reservation for 20. The response was, "oh people usually just stand around the table if it's more than 10 people". Bro...what?? No where online did it say that. It was my birthday, and I was embarrassed and disappointed. Eventually the folks sitting behind my table moved and my group took over that space but that wasn't until 45 minutes later. We then had a server for my table who promised us a round of shots for the group. I asked 30 minutes later about the shots and he told me no. So not only did we get screwed over by the seating, but the empty promises made it worse. So..Anything Good to Say? The aesthetic is cool. I liked the jukebox they had in the front half. Food was decent too, I have to give it that. If I was introduced to this place with a small group, I would've had a fantastic time. But with a group bigger than 10, and shoving us all in the walkway comes off as stingy business practice. Overall My friends made my birthday special, but I had a hard time fully enjoying myself feeling so embarrassed by inviting all these people and them having to be crowded on standing while they eat. I feel betrayed by this place low key. I don't cause scenes and didn't the other day but the empty promises, and me having to face my friends like this was an awful feeling for me. I’m not trying to be a jerk about it, nor fussy. I love to celebrate businesses and that shows in my many other reviews. I’m way bummed by this experience.

Had a blast here over the weekend celebrating Halloween! This place had great atmosphere super dope vibes! The food and drinks were amazing. The wings and French Fries were so delicious! 10/10 recommended. Our waiter Coby took great care of us the whole time…he was amazing. He deserves a raise! Cheers!

Was headed to another place on a chilly NYC Saturday for afternoon burgers and drinks with a friend. Instead, we decided to pop into E's. Soooo glad we did. Really comfortable! Great funky decor. Good tunes. Excellent staff. Mason was super welcoming! Good hard cider, falafel burger, etc. Solid recommend for me.

This place really tried to be a dive bar. The service, music and decor were all the ingredients you want for a great dive bar. The only thing missing from this dive bar was the dive bar prices. However during HH they probably do have great specials. All and all I did enjoy my time here and suggest you check it out. Please add TV for the people sitting at the bar.

A whole vibe! Their happy hour compares to NONE. Sweet staff. Chill vibes in and outside. Def recommend. Can’t speak for food, we only had drinks. Gentleman and young lady working 21 July early afternoon are lush. Can’t wait to come back!

The best board games bar in the city! We have tried quite a few of them all over Manhattan and Brooklyn, and E's has remained our absolute favorite. The vibe is always casual, friendly, and fun, and ramps up a bit on Friday and Saturday nights. They have a fantastic selection of games, enough that there is always a new one to try even though we have easily been there 20+ times over the last few years. The servers are always laid-back, there are different seating areas depending on the vibe you're looking for, and the burgers are AMAZING. The happy hour deals are also amazing, and incredible that it's most of the day! We have easily spent 5+ hours here on multiple occasions because you just don't want to leave. We also recently hosted an event here, and it was such an easy and positive experience. Erin was so friendly and incredibly helpful with our options for how to book it, and really took the stress out of any part of the planning process. The day itself was perfectly smooth, and our guests really loved the relaxed and fun vibe of the bar - exactly what we hoped for. Hopefully we'll have a reason to book an event with E's again, but we will for sure be there regularly in the meantime!

AJ & Franklin are the best!!! This is my new neighborhood bar, and they make it feel like home. If your in the upper west, you're guaranteed to have a great time.
