The East Side Company Bar

New York, NY 10002
Phone: (212) 614-7408
Incredibly rude service
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

01/29/2007 Posted by af6000

The ambience is very nice and their drinks are great. I'm sure the service can be good on some nights, but the bartender I had on Saturday night was so rude. He was one of those bartenders who refuses to look in your direction when you want to order a drink or pay your tab, even though he's not doing anything else and the bar is practically empty. When I said "Excuse me" to get his attention, he snapped "What?" and seemed completely exasperated to even have to bother with customers. Despite the fact that the bartenders can make a mean cocktail, there's no reason to treat customers that way.

Accessible speakeasy charm deep in the Lower East Side.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Down the narrow hallway, a surprisingly large room with a DJ booth awaits the demure party. Arrive early to nab the 10-person booth, or to score the intimate nook next to the door. There's no seating--only standing--at the bar.
