Came here to celebrate my birthday, we had about 17 people, would recommend this spot for larger parties only if you were looking to pregame or after dinner drinks, food is served but difficult to have dinner with a large group of people and be all together. The food was great, the buffalo spring rolls were my favorite! The tea pots were also unique and so cute. I had the East side tea pot, would get if you are a fan of gin and want something that isn’t sweet. Edna was taking care of us the whole night and she was so sweet. Even though this was a cocktail service, the manager was accommodating the best she could which I appreciated
Polly’s is a must-visit! The menu is a fantastic mix of classic and modern dishes. The cocktails are AMAZING. Perfect for brunch, dinner, or a night out with friends. Cant wait to go back!
Its a very Hip Speakeasy with good music, delicious food and very good drinks. Very friendly and attentive staff and overall a pretty good mature crowd. Love this place.
Was pleasantly surprised by the large food menu and the food was all quite good. The shrimp sliders were particularly good. Cocktails were solid and the teapot cocktails are a really fun and come with quite a bit of volume so even though it says its for 2, we shared it among 3 of us.
Step into the hidden world of Pollys NYC, a speakeasy nestled beneath Tanner Smiths in Midtown West, its a subtle decadence, delicious libations, and a raucous good time.
My family was looking for a spot to throw a Harlem Renaissance themed surprise 40th birthday party for my sister. We wanted something that was giving speakeasy vibes, and when we stumbled across the photos of Polly’s, we knew it was the right place! They were very prompt in responding to our inquiry, and within 5 days of finding it we placed the deposit to secure the entire spot. KayTee was our point of contact for all the planning and she was great! She answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and was very accommodating with all of our requests. Four days before the party we went to Polly’s to check it out, figure out decor and ask some final questions and all the staff was welcoming and friendly. The night of the event went very smoothly. KayTee was not working that night but we were in great hands with the managers Bronah and Brooke. We were able to get in there an hour before the event started to place our decorations. Now don’t get me wrong, you don’t really need to add any other decor to the place but we just wanted to be extra, LOL. The main room, Hudson, has a lot of decor, so we did centerpieces and added some personal photos of my sister. Most of the decor we brought was for the smaller room in the back, Winona, which has less decor than the Hudson room. We were able to put up an 8ft backdrop and balloon arch (they actually helped us measure the space on our initial visit so we could ensure everything would fit back there), and we had about 100 balloons hanging in that room too. There are 3 screens throughout the space and we were able to have slide shows going on them all to show pictures of the guest of honor. We were able to bring in an outside DJ with no problem (just had to add a rider to the contract). We had about 70 guests show up and there was ample space for people to sit and relax and get down on the dance floor. Everyone had such a great time! The drinks were phenomenal (the Mezcal Inferno was a hit) and the food was delicious. If you’re looking for a fun night out or need a spot to host a party, you won’t regret choosing Polly’s!
Ambiance and service were as good as the food and drinks. Will be coming back.
After a delightful comedy show at Carnegie Hall, my boyfriend and I sought a place for food and drinks. We stumbled upon Tanner Smith, but it was bustling, so they directed us to Polly’s, a speakeasy downstairs. The hostess warmly greeted us, securing the perfect table. We savored Mojitos, Caipirinha, and the teapot cocktail, paired with fries and a chicken Caesar salad wrap – all exceptionally delicious. The music and ambiance elevated our date night. Though I regret not knowing our servers name, she provided excellent and attentive service. Overall, the best experience with outstanding customer service. Highly recommended!
This place has a low key vibe, ambient and brooding, it is a great place to grab some creative drinks with a surprisingly strong food menu. Multiple bars and lots of space for seating or standing. The cocktails are where things really shine, they are a blend of unique flavors and some ingredients that are seldomly used in mixing. I recommend checking this out with a group that prefers a more intimate setting.
Love this place! my cousin took me for my birthday it was cute and danny our waiter was even cuter ;-) will be going back!
Service was really awful. Closed the door on us when we inquired about the bar. Would not recommend.
Definitely visit here when in NYC! Really good cocktails and the bar itself is lovely. Service was great too, highly recommend.
Great atmosphere, the drinks fabulous great music. Bathrooms super clean. The food was ok. I think that the food wait too much to be take to the table and got cold,the nachos were dry . The bartender super nice and friendly:)
Our servicer Edna was amazing! I would definitely go back and look for her. Thank you very much
Drinks are nice. The place is beautiful but the music is way too loud.Service is great! Edna, our server was amazing!!
When you come to Polly’s - make sure to request Edna as your server! Edna took great care of my party.She accommodated all of our requests and proactively supported us with things ahead of time. Edna was truly the cherry on top during my experience. She was attentive, present, and so warm.Edna elevates the Polly’s brand and atmosphere to a high end experience. I hope the establishment rewards her for her amazing work and models future employees in her image.Thank you so much Edna,The 6pm party on 5/8/2024
Hosted a private birthday party in the Willow Room and Nook Bar in mid-April. I could not recommend Polly’s enough. Courtney was our private bartender for the evening, and she was so delightful to have. She gave recommendations for cocktails on the menu, created custom cocktails based on what we generally like, and overall was incredibly sweet and caring. She even put a candle in the lime of my cocktail to celebrate my birthday. Manager Kendall was also extremely accommodating for our party as well, checking in on us at the beginning and towards the end of reservation time.Highly recommend the space for personal events and parties. Will definitely book again for the next special event.
We had a really nice time there tonight, awesome hospitality from the staff, great food and cocktails. Highly recommend
Really good! I was drunk! I took the No. 7!!
Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere. The issue we had was they gave us 1.5 hours for dinner and rushed us without notice when we booked the reservation. They asked us to leave the table without even bringing our bill. Very unprofessional unfortunately. Won’t be back for that reason, when you’re ordering a ton of drinks and food you expect to atleast have 2 hours.
Service was amazing , Edna is a gem. Flaming cocktail is a must.
Lucas was a big help making my reservation. Great response time via email, truly appreciate him.Brona was a fantastic waitress! Excellent service, lovely to chat with, great personality and perfect recommendations on the menu. She truly made the experience wonderful! A dining experience is nothing without great service! Food was great! Loved the vibe, great decor. Would definitely recommend trying Polly’s for a nice night out! Thank you Lucas and Brona!
Me and my wife, love this place, so clean, nice,the service was 5+,if u wonna have good time, I recommend this place, food is good ,and drinks 🍸 is amazing top notch
Excellent cocktails, really delightful, but too loud to have tables at all, let alone the big ones I had to lean across to hear my date yell her throat sore. If youre going to set up as a speakeasy, maybe make sure people can speak.
Terrible service
Worst service that i ever experienced….
Cool bar! The cocktails are good.However, the music is way too loud... we cant even talk.The tapas are good.
