Great ambiance, great food, a little conservative on the selection of beers & ales but good music. ”
- “
finally a place downtown that has a nice atmosphere and outdoor seating. ”
- “
would recommend Ulysses to anyone who wants to experience some interesting decor, or who lives downtown and doesn't feel like leaving the neighborhood. ”

Those of us who keep going back do so for the decent bar food and late night atmosphere, plus their ability to accommodate everyone from your office and then some (the place is HUGE). ”

The atmosphere was great-- busy, but not loud or overwhelming. ”

In conclusion, Ulysses has a good atmosphere and ambiance but the bartenders are truly the deal-breaker and MY CO-WORKER & I NO LONGER FREQUENT ULYSSES, NOR DO WE BRING OUR CLIENTS THERE ANYMORE. ”

The combination of good beers (chamay, Leff alongside Guiness, etc), good crowd (young wall st. types) and great outdoor atmosphere make this the perfect place to catch a drink. ”

This place has a decent "pub" atmosphere, the food is passable, and the beer selection is just o.k. (for a pub), but the bartenders are THE WORST I have ever had to deal with in my life. ”

Good beer selection, cool decor, decent food, great bartenders, weird crowd ”

always used to run into nasty waitstaff, but was never really all that bothered by it (it is, after all, a very busy bar). ”
- “
There is no better place to go for a drink after work if you are around Wall St. The summer is especially nice when Ulysses sets up table so that you can drink al fresco. ”
- “
The owners should wake up, get rid of Faith and the other nasty ones who work the bar (esp the one w/ the tramp stamp and the permanent scowl on her face), hire some friendly bartenders, get some more t.v.s in there, and mix up the selection of beers a li ”

Great scene, great venue, great people, and great drinks. ”

Sure, we didn't eat or anything, but the paintings on the wall were pretty swank (the one on the right near the bar is best), the bathroom was pin clean, and the tables set up on the cobblestones are a great touch. ”

Great carving station--good beer selection ”

John and Keith seem to be the late bartenders, and are always friendly (as well as Jen, but I was told she is no longer there, a shame since she seemed to be the only female bartender you could get a drink from without getting a nasty look). ”
