Came here for drinks for an evening social event. Drinks are strong and mixed well.
bartenders + security are friendly.
beautiful environment. $18 for a cocktails.
Very fair and appropriate pricing considering the east village location. I enjoyed the Rum-Coke and Spicy Margarita.

I recently visited Saints Bar and Speakeasy after seeing all the amazing shots on social media, but it turned out to be a bit of a letdown. The atmosphere and decor were impressive, creating a cool, inviting vibe. But beyond the aesthetics, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. We made a reservation for brunch, last minute they called and canceled on us due to an event taking place and recommitted our time for dinner.

The food was subpar, falling short of the vibrant photos on Instagram. On top of that, service was frustratingly slow – our waitress, though kind and accommodating, took forever to check on us, even though there were only two other tables occupied.

Adding to the disappointment, we noticed a surprise four percent dine-in fee on our bill, which hadn’t been mentioned at any point before. This lack of transparency felt off, especially considering the average food quality.

If you’re after a great photo op, Saints is a good choice. But if you’re looking for exceptional food or clear, upfront service, you might want to reconsider.

We went to the Holly Jolly Holiday event there.  It was cute, nicely decorated but it wasn't very lively even with music.  More people would have made it a bit more fun.  Drinks were excellent!

Holly Jolly popup bar experience was a letdown. Very scammy. Overpriced for the cheap and non festive atmosphere provided. Unwelcoming host upon entry. Overly sugary cocktails. Nonfestive drinking glasses. Cheap decorations that are laughable. Fried food and wet feet smell throughout the room. Dirty tables. No seat guaranteed even when you pay for seated spot. Lots of people walked in, looked around, laughed and left - and this was on a Friday night.

The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish being thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.
