Dana O.Dana OMalley: Packed and overpriced. Not my favorite combo, but definitely a place to check out once. Skip the mojito and gimlet (bartenders don't seem to be great at making drinks)... go for the beer.

T-Dog N.T-Dog N.: Amazing mixology bartenders without the pretentious mixology vibe. Inexpensive raw bar too! Love it. Great summer spot.

Alex M.Alex M.: If you go and it's not completely flooded with people, it might seem weird the absence of music, but once full the place is all the fun you expect any summer afternoon in downtown Manhattan.
