We had a nice lunch, the service was great and the food came out really quick. I would say that the bread was very hard, someone that has dentures couldn't bite in to it! I would recommend a softer bread, the spread and add ons were delicious. The fríes nice and crunchy and my coworker was able to substitute for salad. If I'm in the neighborhood I would come back.

This is a great spot for an affordable happy hour. We took advantage of the $5 espresso martinis and aperol spritz's and had chicken birria quesadillas for $6. Although the quesadilla size was small, it was fine for a small snack with happy hour. The drinks were good especially for the price, and I will definitely be coming back again.

Really nice place to gather with colleagues to eat and drink. The Caesar salad was nicely dressed, with a decent amount of croutons and parmesan cheese. The lettuce was fresh and plentiful. The fish tacos were decent as well. The pico de gallo was refreshing and balanced, the breaded fish was seasoned well and the tortillas were soft (though they could have been heated up better). The portion was just a tad small. Overall a good experience!

Went here for a Bravo show premiere night event. It was only on the Ernie's side but there is only a curtain dividing the bars so you could hear the music from Half Pint and it was tricky to hear the TV. The circus theme is kind of odd at Ernie's. We had yummy pretzels and cheese, chicken tenders and sliders. Service was great our waitress was attentive and super friendly.

Cute bar that had decent drinks! I love that they have the back section bar with a different vibe and was much quieter. Good for catching up with a friend. Service was friendly and attentive.

Great spot to stop in for drinks! Would love to come back and try the food. My girlfriends and I stumbled upon The Half Pint after dinner near Union Square Park and couldn't have had a better time! It was super cute and not too crowded inside and we got to try a few of their cocktails. We stayed for hours to chit chat!

We stopped here for a drink before dinner. We got an espresso martini which had an amazing foam. We live for a great foam. The staff were kind and helpful when there. The only thing is that it was really loud from the music. I would still return though.
