Great place to grab a drink. They have happy hour every day with 8 dollar cocktails. Very worth.

The service is great. And the food is pretty decent. We got chicken wings and they were pretty good. It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad.

Great atmosphere especially for a date.

- drinks were good, vibes were good, food was mid, service was bad. the waiter had so much attitude and rolled his eyes when i said we weren’t ready to order yet. what’s worse is they automatically added a 20% gratuity
- chicken satay: dry chicken and the sauce was off.  the rice had coconut flakes in it.
- decorations were really pretty though and the ambiance is nice

I’ve been going to Verlaine in the Lower East Side for years, and it’s always been a great experience. The vibe is consistently cool, with dim lighting, vibrant photos, and good music that set the perfect mood whether you’re there for a dinner date or after-work drinks with friends. I’ve even caught a live salsa band here, which was incredible, and celebrated a New Year’s Eve that was unforgettable! The bartenders have always been chill and welcoming, especially Xavier. On my most recent visit, I enjoyed some light bites like the fried chicken dumplings and sake shrimp skewers, both were delicious! And, of course, my partner’s favorite, the Lychee Martinis, never disappoint. Just a heads up, on weekends, it can get full, so plan to arrive a little early for the best experience. Highly recommend Verlaine as part of a fun night out in the area!

This place is truly a vibe! The service is great . Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Leech martini is so delicious and the food is very flavorful. My favorite from the menu would be the short rib sliders. I also love the shrimp skewers!

Bartender guy with the beard was so rude for no reason!!! My boyfriend wasn’t even having happy hour & the bartender never even acknowledged us. 20% gratuity added despite us never getting service, constantly had to raise our hand for another drink and bartender got mad that we did. We sat on a table first then moved to the bar. The only helpful one was the anime shirt one, he was nice and helpful, he should be bartender or server. Bad service from the servers and that one bartender!!! I do not agree with the 20% tip automatically added!!!!!!
