Ethyl's Alcohol & Food 1629 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York,

"Love this place! The 70s theme is executed beautifully, and the old music and movies, go go dancers, and disco ball give great vibes. The food is also really good every time and great happy hour deals."

"This is my go-to Happy Hour spot after going to Upper East Side museums. Wonderful vibe! Cheap drinks and great bar food."

"Cool vibes and nice music. Staff are a little aggressive might need to tone it down. Will I come back again and recommend this place? Probably. 7/10."

"Went here on a Saturday and waited outside online for a short moment. Security checked IDs and let me in. It was packed. Wall to wall. The sound system was rocking and the DJ was playing dance hits. The energy was was all the way up. Everybody was getting their dance on and belting out lyrics to songs in a wide range of dance genres. The DJ, Omen, was killing it. Oh there were burlesque dancers on the bar. No touching! Ethyls don't play that. Actually there are many rules there. I think the rules help keep the night consistently enjoyable and safe. Let me tell you about the Alcohol and food. The drink prices are competitive. The cocktails are strong and a spicy margarita is spicy af! I ordered wings and fries and was highly pleased. I'll definitely be back."

"WARNING: Ethyls does not support drinking responsibly. The female bartender working last night would not give me a second glass of water because I “hadn’t bought enough drinks” when my husband had purchased 6 shots less than 30 mins before. A group of us went out on the UES for a friends birthday and when we got to Ethyls we all took a shot at midnight and then danced and chatted for less than 45 mins. It was a hot and humid night and the AC in Ethyls was barely keeping up. I asked for a cup of water right after the shot and a second cup of water about 30 mins later. The female bartender working last night refused me a second water because I hadn’t bought enough drinks…. Ethyls does have a 2 drink minimum but that’s only on Friday and Saturday nights. She would not serve me tap water. I eventually asked another male bartender and he served me a water after which she chewed him out. Then at 12:35 one of the bartenders comes up and confronts our group that we haven’t bought any drinks and we must leave a mostly deserted bar. My husband had bought the 6 shots less than an hour before and several others in our group had subsequently bought mixed drinks. Super unprofessional and truly lacking in tact to refuse a woman a water. What if I were pregnant, sober, or had other health complications. I completely understand drink minimums and if it had been a Fri/Sat night would have paid a 2 drink min but would never expect and find it completely out of line for a bartender to rudely refuse water in a mostly deserted bar."
