Amazing place! The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a couple or with friends. Camila the bartender was very friendly, efficient and beautiful, making our visit a very pleasant experience. Undoubtedly, one of the best bar in NYC.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever been to. I’m so glad to be able to call myself a regular here! From the amazing ambiance, to the amazing food, amazing staff, amazing music, and don’t even get me started on how amazing the drinks are. Jeimison the bartender that’s usually here literally has made me the best drinks I’ve ever had in my life and truly adjusts the drinks to my favorite flavors and the exact taste I want! He has literally made me my favorite drinks I’ve ever had and named them after me. My birthday just recently passed and they sung to me and brought me a piece of birthday cake. Jeimison even made me my own gorgeous and delicious birthday drink. I’m so happy to have found this place and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Camila is an absolute goddess.  She makes customer service an art, a passion, something the rest of us want to be part of because she so clearly loves it and loves being good at it.  The Black Hound has a great vibe, strong drinks, clean restrooms, and the best staff.  We can't wait to return!

Went for drinks before dinner and had a great experience.
Our bartender Bronoko was easy to talk to and made great recommendations based on our tastes. I hate martinis but he made one that went down smooth and actually tasted really good.
