For an appetizer we ordered the asian pork lettuce wraps, which were... More

Stopped in yesterday for a bathroom break and a quick bite. We were seated immediately at a place to the front right. Our waitress promptly took our order. She recommended the buffalo chicken salad ($15). The salad was fresh and full of flavor. Watch out the celery has some kick because it is sautéed in buffalo sauce. My wife also... More

My wife and I went to Bar 89 based on a recommendation from a friend. I had a burger that was fairly dry, though the fries were pretty good. My wife's buffalo chicken sandwich was quite good. Overall we probably wouldn't go back. More

Every trip to NYC (Soho) must include a trip to Bar 89! Although the service is spotty (good sometimes, not so much this time) the food and cocktails are good and the bathroom is something to see. Look for the "M" or "W" in front of the doors once inside, but I did notice no one really paid attention to... More

Bar 89 is a chic but unassuming bar -restaurant in so-Ho. My partner and I love this place. The service is excellent and the ambience is great. B89 is a good place to hang out with friends while having drinks and something to eat. The buffalo chicken wings are good but the greatest thing to eat is the Alfredo hamburger... More

I absolutely love the buck n wings at this bar and restaurant. It is complemented by waffle fries, Love it! The price is not too bad; each selection on average is $15 dollars. The taste of the food is worth every single penny. This is a nice place for a first date or to hang with friends. More

We were seated and given water. The waiter kept walking by but never took our order. After waiting for 15 minutes, we left. The table next to us was waiting the same amount of time to pay their bill. The waiter only seemed to have 4 tables, including ours, but he spent so much time chatting and walking around and... More
