    My son had his birthday celebration tonight. 4 15-16 year olds. They had awful service. Simply could not get the attention of their waiter. Unfortunately i had instructed my son to tip 20% before the dinner. So that waiter got something she did not deserve.

    The Bowery Bar never disappoints. Every time we go, the service is amazing and the food even more so! We rent the private yurts on the back patio for special occasions, and I cannot recommend them enough. They provide the perfect cozy atmosphere for a winter’s evening out! They are well heated, just the right size (although technically they can fit 8 people, I wouldn’t personally exceed a 6 person party as it would be a bit tight), and the service is always a delight. We look forward to coming here every year!
