The St Paddy's bottomless dinner at the Mean Fiddler was such a great vibe and the perfect start to a night out in the city! Bottomless drinks are $30 for 90 mins with the purchase of any entree which is a steal for NYC prices. The drinks itself are definitely on the sweeter side but still good. Our server was not the most attentive and did not came around very often to refill our drinks but other servers in the restaurant were very sweet and happy to bring us more drinks when we asked. I was pleasantly surprised that the food here was also good! I ordered the fish tacos which were huge and delicious. Such a fun spot to come with friends that is actually affordable!

Better late than never with this review. I came in December for their Christmas themed unlimited drinks. I had an amazing time. There was extensive Christmas decor, jolly energy in the atmosphere & AMAZINGGGGG DRINKS! I was at a table with a party of 8. The waiters were attentive bringing out carafe after carafe. We tried every single item on the unlimited drink menu. Everything was GOOD! Everyone favored the blue drink the most. We all ordered entrees as well. I had a burger and fries. That was a great burger by the way! I can't elaborate on how amazing the drink menu was. From coconut flavor, to champagne over and icicle and more! Ahhh can't wait until next year's Christmas special!

Stopped in for a drink. What a cool spot. The service was great! Bar tender was very friendly. He told me that there is a speak easy that opens up later in the evening. He made it sound so interesting! Will be sure to check it out.

I came here after an event earlier in January with my boyfriend. I wanted to try it out after seeing so much hype on IG. The illusion of this place being so much bigger was a bit of a let down. They do have some cutesy themed decor but not as much as you would imagine. The food on the other hand was sooooo good. The Mac and cheese was my absolute favorite. So much so that we have came back again just for takeout. The price is decent for the bottomless although they get less strong as you go. The servers were attentive and always had me with a drink or two in my hands. I couldn't complain for that reason I give it a 4.
