Corner Bistro

Eat a burger, drink a brew and listen to some tunes on the jukebox

  • Full bar
  • Burgers & appetizers
  • Draft & bottled beers

Corner Bistro, the last of the bohemian bars in West Greenwich Village, has been serving customers since the earlier part of this century. The original ambience is pretty much unchanged, and we like to keep it that way.

Editorial Review for Corner Bistro – by Adam Rapoport

The Scene
A classic tavern: During the day, delivery people on lunch break share space at the bar with smartly dressed neighborhood professionals. To avoid an overcrowded back room packed with baseball hat-wearing Village rovers, come early, while the sun is still streaming through the dusty windows.

The Food
Besides cold beer and a full bar, the Bistro keeps its options simple. The burger--small, juicy and incredibly messy--is the best in the neighborhood and certainly among the very best in the city. Other options on the spartan menu include chili, a BLT and a wonderfully marinated, jaw-stretching grilled chicken sandwich. Fries are always crisp and tasty.

As long as you don't have to wait for it, you won't be disappointed by the Corner Bistro burger. To avoid waiting, show up before 6pm. There's just something about the simple white-bread bun, the airy patty and the messy toppings that makes you sink into burger bliss.

I'll echo most sentiments here - nice, thick burger that comes out quickly - mine was medium well although I asked for medium rare...could have used more salt, cheap buns, and it's a little smelly (like urinal/stale beer smell). The place looks/is more like a bar than a burger joint. Good burger but not going out of my way again- better burgers in order are: (1) Chelsea Grill (bigger more seasoned burger, cooked to perfection with better fries and better atmosphere) (2) Island Burgers - smaller but thicker -again, cooked to perfection and 1,000 topping suggestions - no fries though. (3) Le Parker Meridian - secret hotel burger - lines and not a great value (thin burger). (4) Burger place in Madison Sq Park - lines are ridiculous - thin but flavorful patty I haven't tried Paul's in East Village but it's next on my list.

Pros: Good but not great burger

Cons: Mild seasoning (salt), lack of consistency, cheap buns, smelly place

The last thing you need at 3am is a flame-broiled half-pound burger--but you know you want one.  See the full editorial review.
