Bonnie Vee NYC

Would rate it 4.5 if I could. The beer selection is great drank Other Half's Green City, and the cocktails are well made. The pizza was only okay, but I went there mostly for a relaxed environment. Would definitely go there again.

Fantastic cozy little bar in the lower East side. Had a great Holiday season round of drinks here!

The appetizers seemed to be just frozen food heated up. Also got charged an automatic 20% tip for a party of 5, which would be fine if they actually told us. Instead they handed the tablet to add additional tip additional 20%!! as if it’s a normal transaction. Won’t be going back.

Bartender kicked me out because I wanted to use the restroom before buying a round. Had to pee like a racehorse. Was also freezing cold. Pretty sure he just didnt like the way the bartender and female patron was eyeing me. Just selpent 70plus at the the bowery. Ended up walkimg 20 steps to the club next door, and made it clear i was going to buy at least one beer before bouncing. This never happend to me before in florida or NC. NY bouncers seem to take their jobs too seriously... Or at leat this one.

Visited some friends in Brooklyn and we went on a short excursion. On the way we had some time to kill and our Hosts mentioned Bonnie Vee was a good place to stop in at. They mentioned the good food and good atmosphere. We were sat immediately in the 'back rm' which was quaint & had enough seating for about 20 people. We were the 16th through 20th patrons in the space and although it was a little tight getting past us, no one complained or asked us to move. The food & drink menu was listed in a cool QR coded laminated paper on the table that I was not able to scan with my iPhoneno QR reader but my Hosts had no problem. American comfort food is how they described the menu. We didn't do anything special for drinks, vodka soda & gin and tonics around the table. The vibe was good and even though you have to prove vaccination, the place was full of patrons.

u can find better nachos in the trash at the movie theater. no offense

My husband and I were looking for a place to chill and relax for a bit before continuing to explore NYC. So, we showed up a little past noon and it was pretty empty. We asked to sit out back in the patio and the waitress seemed bothered. At first I thought it was just in my head. However, more patrons started arriving and she would also hesitate. At one point, she randomly just took out "reserved" signs, placed them on all tables, and denied two girls from sitting in the sofas. Then after a while, she randomly started letting some patrons sit there. Weird. Anyways, the drinks were good. Food was also good but I think a little overpriced. We walked out with a $60 bill + tip.

Came here on Easter and had the best time! Cool lounge vibes and a great outdoor garden. TJ our bartender was spot on making us cocktails! He made me a delicious shaken Strawberry Daiquiri that was one of the highlights of the night!

I needed a spot to meet a friend of mine where we could talk politics. He said he would be in the Lower East Side so I scoured the map and found this place. I was hoping to grab a seat at a table in their rear area but they had it reserved for a large group. Further dampening my hopes was the fact that the area was covered following some rain. When uncovered and open to the air, I can see the area as being safer than an indoor table. It's all good though because I was granted permission to grab any table inside. I was surprised they were basically all available. Then again, it seemed like it was a really popular spot to meet and actually drink standing at the bar. There was a whole crowd amassed around the entire bar. I stood there patiently thinking I had to grab drinks myself but the hostess saw me and told me she'd help me out at the table I was so glad!. I ordered the "Flawless Victory" Bourbon, Benedictine, Malbec, Lemon, Pineapple, Ginger, Honey, Absinthe hoping it would give me luck in the ensuing debate. I followed that up with the "Flight to Capri" Bourbon, Campari, Cinnamon Syrup, Lemon, Pineapple. Both cocktails were great! Meanwhile, my opponent arrived so late that we really didn't get deep into it. It didn't help that the bar got louder as the night progressed. We ended up leaving after my opponent's companion fell to the floor Drunk? High? Both? I don't know. Slip up notwithstanding, I told myself I'd be back to the Bonnie Vee for more drinks, food and the outdoor/backyard experience. Hopefully the hostess Stephanie will still be there. She was stellar, calm and well accomodating.

Great drinks and pretty patio to hang for some time. The fact they just pre-include a 20% tip we were only a party of 3 and then when paying asking for additional 20% tip feels like a rip off. So double check the receipt.
