Master Critic Review

Alison 7.5
East Village
A newer St. Marks spot where the move is using happy hour to grab a tight wing-and-drink combo in a low-lit, date-friendly room. Treat it as a precision stop: wings first, one fries-style side, then leave before the tables disappear.
Must-Try Dishes: Buffalo Wings, Old Bay Fries, Chicken Sliders
Scores:
Value: 7.2 Service: 7.6 Consistency: 7.5 Food Quality: 7.8 Atmosphere: 8.4 Cultural Relevance: 6.8
What makes it special: Happy-hour wings in a low-lit, cocktails-first St. Marks room.
Who should go: Couples or friends starting the night
When to visit: Happy hour window for best value
What to order: Buffalo wings, Old Bay fries, chicken sliders
Insider tip: Arrive right at happy hour—seating swings fast on St. Marks.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No on-site parking; street parking is very limited on St. Marks Place. Nearby paid garages on 2nd Ave or Ave A are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—nice jeans are fine, but most guests look date-ready rather than casual.
Noise level: Moderate during happy hour—conversation-friendly early, louder as the room fills later.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation; can stretch longer after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; this spot is more of an evening play.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mostly sides like fries and salads.
Vegan options: Very limited; not a strong choice for vegans.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free items available, but no dedicated preparation.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially early. The low lighting, cocktails-first vibe, and shared wings make it easy and low-pressure if you arrive during happy hour.
Can I get a table without a reservation? During happy hour, yes if you arrive early. After that, bar seating is more realistic than a full table.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really. The space and menu skew adult and date-focused, better suited for evenings without kids.
Best For
Better for: Date-friendly wings with cocktails in a stylish St. Marks setting.
Skip if: You want big portions, sports-bar energy, or a casual, budget-first wing spot.
