Lounge popolari a Coney Island

Can’t say enough about what a great place this is for a sexy date night

We were there on Taco Tuesday and the place was absolutely packed! Our server turned out to be the manager of the restaurant and she kept apologizing for the time it took for our food. It was totally fine and we were not in a rush. She gave us a round of drinks on the house for it as well. The food was great, service was great, and the cave atmosphere was great. Plus, Taco Tuesday happy hour prices were unbelievably low for NYC. I will 100% be going back next time I’m in the city.

We had a lunch reservation but after taking our drink order and serving them to us, the bartender/waiter never returned. We had to get his attention and he apparently did not realize (nor did he ask) that we were there to eat. I'm unsure of how many establishments take reservations just to drink? But he, and the rest of the staff who interacted with us, were very kind. The burger, spring rolls, and turkey/bacon club sandwich were excellent, as were the cocktails (Paper Plane and Perfect Manhattan).

If you’re in lower Manhattan and love cigars, this is a must. Cost is comparable for anywhere in NYC. Well worth it.
