A10 Kitchen

TLDR; incredible cocktails, awesome food, stellar service, and cute vibes. very generous happy hour hours. we stumbled upon this place looking for a last-minute dinner before a show, and were so pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were amazing and reasonably priced. we got burgers and the fried chicken sandwich, both of which were great. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. our server was amazing, didn’t write anything down, but made no mistakes and was super quick. wish I lived closer so I could luxuriate on the patio with delicious cocktails. (the Blackberry Bangkok and the Dark Horse were amazing. real fruit puree and well balanced.)

This spot is fully underrated!! Fun, laid back spot for some of the best drinks in NYC and the food never misses. The entire team is fun and energetic. You can tell they care about your experience. They also got the best happy hour specials.

Decent burger. Can definitely get better in the area. Wouldn’t come back for food, but chill spot to sit outside on a busy street for a couple beers.

I’ve been coming here 2.5 yrs and just recently back after a few months and everything has changed. It was like walking into a new world the only thing recognizable was the waitress and i had to ask her what happened. New owner she said which broke my heart. They strip the walls of soul and the food and music as well. They got a new chef who obviously used frozen chicken for wings. The wings that they used to serve always looked fresh and weren't breaded. Im so disappointed i was truly looking forward to coming here after being away but this was a complete shock. I hope they bring the old chef back because the frozen and under cooked food is not it.

Had a great night here in early April. Sat at the bar, superb service from Grace and Florian and they were so personable - making conversation and chatting to them all night. I definitely made the most of the $7 Happy Hour Spicy Margaritas, so much so that I probably should have gone for the $21 pitcher 🤣 while my husband drank beer. We didn’t really eat - other than gorgeous pretzel bites - but the food that other people ordered looked really good. It was the first night of our trip and a great way to start. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time at A10 Kitchen this past weekend! The service was excellent, and both the employees and new owners were incredibly gracious and welcoming. We celebrated my sister’s birthday here and enjoyed delicious food, fast service, and a great ambiance. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I have a previous review here which I had given 5 stars but I feel completely indifferent now. I used to come here at least once every couple of months and this was my FAVORITE and go to spot. I loved A10 and would have recommended it to anyone. I went today and while it still has a cool vibe with great music (and is SUPER busy during happy hour), the food and service wasn’t good. It was really busy and unfortunately there were about 20 tables (including outdoor seating) all being taken care of by one server. Due to me ~previously~ loving this place, i would always look on their website for any menu changes and today (9/11/25) they happen to offer mac and cheese, which they haven't had in a while. I tried ordering this and the server mentioned it was wrong online, they do not have this menu item and they have new owners now. I ended up getting wings, mozzarella sticks and of-course a margarita pitcher. note: a lot of their other small bites like the pretzel bites are no longer offered on the menu. The wings were not good, VERY small and almost soggy, so different than the quality they offered before. The server had also forgotten the mozzarella sticks :’( and we had to remind her what we ordered after waiting about 25 min. We figured it was because she was busy or someone else would come out with them but we came to the realization they were not coming at all. Overall the happy hour pitchers are okay since you get about 4-6 drinks out of them and they are $26 (+6 for any flavor), but the food is just disappointing. There’s definitely better places to grab a bite and drinks in the area. One would think that with higher prices and a new owner they’d care about the reputation of A10 Kitchen and want to offer the best, but that doesn’t apply here. It makes me sad to say but i will not be returning. 💔 R.I.P OG A10 I miss you.

Been coming to A10 for happy hour for a while now but they recently raised their prices which was disappointing. Besides that, they have a really nice outdoor seating that doesn't feel like you're right on Avenue A with nice booths and heating in the winter. They are also pretty accommodating for groups of 6 or so. The most recent time I went it was 80 F in the city so it was really busy and they gave us a time limit. I recommend if it's warm to make a reservation so you have a better chance of getting in with no time limit. The food specials for happy hour are pretty good and taste really good. The burger used to be $10 and is now $12 which is sad. Everything is going up. Overall, pretty good drinks and food. Not too strong though for the pitchers.

Place was not welcoming. Service was slow. They sat us down and never gave us menus. Server sat down and ate her lunch and didn't one to us again. Shrimp was good I must say. Definitely won't be back I don't like they like my type.

Went for happy hour and got a pitcher and a burger. The margarita pitcher is great and strong - perfect to be shared with a friend or friends. We had one between the two of us and hardly could finish it. The fries were good but the burger was lackluster. Lacked flavor. The food and service is slow but the staff is nice and polite. They seemed understaffed and the food took a long time to come out. The ambiance is very East village and the music was not too loud. I will come back!

A10 Kitchen in NYC's East Village is a prime spot for a evening happy hour, known for its lively atmosphere and excellent deals. Their happy hour extends until 7 PM on Saturdays, attracting a consistent crowd, often described as young and energetic, especially during peak happy hour times. The venue offers both comfortable indoor seating ( could be tight and loud though) and pleasant outdoor patio space, perfect for enjoying the vibrant East Village scene. You'll find a good selection of drinks, including pitchers of margaritas, mojitos, and sangria, making it easy to share with friends. We stopped by for a drink on Saturday Eve fr happy hour to grab a drink before dinner. We ordered margaritas to drink and fries to munch. Drinks were well balanced and fries were crispy and good quantity. Overall, a great place place to hangout with friends and soak in the east village vibe.

Came on a Wednesday afternoon with a group of 5 and we were able to sit outside without waiting. Of course we came during happy hour which is Su-Th until 8pm and Fri-Sat until 7pm which are really good times! The beer and wine are $6, $8 margaritas, and a variety of HH food. We decided to get a beer, sauv blanc wine, margarita, and chicken wings. The beer came in a can so was disappointing it wasn't a draft but the wine was the best deal originally $14 but coming down to $6. The margarita was tasty and the buffalo wings in their homemade sauce was delicious and not overly tangy. Would come back during HH to get wine and try their other food options!

Phenomenal happy hour spot recommended from tik tok. They have cheap pitchers and drinks and the food is amazing. We got the margarita pitcher for only $21 and ordered the garlic Parmesan fries, pretzel knots and Mac and cheese. I cannot even describe how unique and great the pretzel knots were, 100% recommend. I also really liked the fries and should be a must when coming here. The Mac and cheese was decent but nothing crazy. The pitcher was also really strong so you truly get your bang for you buck here!

This place is mid asf. Service took long. Super packed. Drinks were fine but nothing stood out. There's obviously much better places in the area for food n drinks but I was with some picky eaters so I opted for a burger spot. Got the chicken sandwich and it was just wrong, outside was super crunchy but the inside felt a lil undercooked. Wings were fine. This is definitely a spot where you get a pitcher so if that's what you're there for then you will enjoy but otherwise don't come.

Decent place for happy hour - there wasn't any indoor seating left which made it tough given the rain. However, the sangria pitcher was delicious and I got a decently sized cheeseburger with well seasoned fries. Service is pretty fast as well.

Honestly...3 stars is a little nice because the food was really good. Very flavorful and delicious. However, we came here for happy hour and left a little disappointed. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, the Mac and cheese with mushrooms, and a burger. The Mac and cheese had no mushrooms which we paid extra for (I swear though we were told different). The pictures were definitely misleading about that. Same with the sangria--picture looked like a bigger pitcher (for and added cost) than the other drinks and it was not bigger. This was all ok though because it all tasted good. But the cherry on top was bad service. Everyone was rude and unhappy. We were so nice and felt so bad about even asking about the mushrooms. We felt so bad after asking for anything. This happy hour quickly became an uncomfortable hour. I think there are better ones in the city. Prices have also recently gone up :(

Coolest guys in town !! i appreciate the love they show to the community. I truly think everyone in the area should come pay a visit.

$20 for a pitcher of margs or mojitos?!? It seemed too good to be true, so my walls immediately shot up. I've learned the same lesson the hard way from so many different avenues of life that if it's too good to be true, it probably is. I went with my roommate, former USC Basketball Megastar, on a beautiful summer Saturday. I know what you're thinking, "Two dudes going to get a pitcher of mojitos?" Chill. It's 2023 and sometimes a couple silverback gorillas just want a feminine drink on a nice hot day, what's wrong with that? Okay, I will concede that every time I hear the word "mojito" that little clip of Brian Griffin from Family Guy pops in my head ahahahaha. I would quote it here but I don't want to be Yelp canceled. Anyways, the 2 silverbacks sit down and confidently order a pitcher of Mojitos. When the pitcher comes, my disappointment is immeasurable. Upon first inspection, it is a pitcher of ice with a splash of mojito. Why does god give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers? However, the most amazing thing happened. Once we poured our first 2 drinks, there was still a solid amount of mojito left. Some sort of optical illusion, I imagine. Then, after cheersing the mojito and saying "Kanpai**" we take our first sip and are SHOCKED. These drinks are STIFF, no watered down danced-on mojitos here. On their website they say the pitchers provide about 4 drinks, but I'd say it's closer to 5, maybe 5.5 STIFF drinks. I also saw they have pretzel bites on the happy hour menu which I will absolutely try next time. I, at some point, will write a review about how I think pretzels are criminally underrated. A HAPPY HOUR SENT STRAIGHT FROM THE ALPHABET CITY GODS THEMSELVES! THANK YOU A10! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ **Authors Note: I say "Kanpai" because it means "cheers" in Japanese. When someone inevitably asks "what does that mean?" I crack a sly smile and let them know it means cheers in Japanese and that I've been to Japan hehe haha I'm so well traveled hehe (shy monkey emoji)

Had happy hour menu with a friend on a Sunday evening - it was great! Prices were perfect and the food was delicious. Ambiance is super cute and our server was incredibly kind to us! Highly recommend!

The happy hour deals at this place are some of the best I've seen in the city. The food is insane (especially the truffle fries and truffle mac). Service could be better, but I think they might have just been overwhelmingly busy at the time I went. Ambiance is great, a bit too loud and crowded seating but a vibe regardless!

I went to A10 Kitchen with some friends on Sunday for happy hour and it was the best decision we made. We came in at around 6pm and happy hour I believe is from 5-8pm. We first sat at the bar and waited for a table to open up. We had $20-$25 margarita pitchers that were amazing! When we were seated we had wings and a cheeseburger that had happy hour prices as well (I think they were around $8-12). The service was great as well- our pitchers were never empty. I highly highly recommend A10 for their strong margaritas and if you're looking for a fun bar. Also they have a good reputation for mac and cheese but they sell out quick and we were told to come at 4pm latest for Mac and cheese on Sunday!

VIBEY MUSIC, CHEAP DRINKS. Good happy hour menu, nice crowd and service. Would be back there 24/7 come summer

I have been here a few times now and always get the same things. Drinks and wings. The wings are hot and crispy. Their Buffalo sauce is so good better than any other average Buffalo sauce at a bar. The drinks here never disappoint and the bartender was very nice and helpful when trying to pick out what cocktail to order. This time around I sat inside and did not realize how small the place actually is. Seems like there is as much outdoor seating as there is inside. Can't wait to go back for those wings next time I'm in the city!

Came here the other day to have some drinks with some friends. For starter it's very rare to find a bar that does Happy Hour on a Friday. The bartender was awesome. Super friendly and he did not disappoint with his pours. The place was cute and quaint. I'd definitely come back for some food and more drinks.

Solid brunch spot with big portions and fast service. We sat outside in their little street hut; inside looked pretty dark. They were out of the fried chicken sandwich, so I got a bacon egg and cheese. It also came with fries! The bacon was cooked really well and had a perfect crispy texture, and the fries were soft with crispy edges. There was a a ton of bacon, and I couldn't finish everything--very generous portions here!

The service was absolutely terrible, the waitresses don't know what they are doing. They can't remember who came first and didn't even bother to ask, refused to take down names and proceeded to forget anyways

EXCELLENT happy hour deals! It's not often you get your bill in NYC and are shocked at how LOW it is. The margarita pitchers were great. Flavor was good, too. Great balance of sour and sweet. And they were definitely strong enough, so they didn't skimp on the alcohol! We had a few bites that were great, too. Definitely loved the fries, the truffle mac was bomb, and surprisingly they had the best buffalo wings I've had in a long time! I started inside at the bar and moved outside when my friends arrived. There is a small seating area in each, but enough space for 6 of us. I also really enjoyed the bartender and the server outside was good. Definitely recommend for happy hour or even later!

This place was packed during happy hour on a Wednesday and the restaurant itself is small but a good portion of the seating options are outside if you can bear the weather. The mojito pitcher was nothing fancy (similar in quality to one I can make at home) but for the price of $23 during happy hour in Manhattan it is definitely worth it. The servers were very nice except the restaurant seemed short staffed since it appeared there were only 2 servers at full capacity running around to meet everyone's needs. Overall, a good option for a happy hour!

We stopped by for impromptu happy hour and were pleased with the selections. The happy hour starts at 4pm on weekdays. The margaritas are 6 dollars a glass with an additional dollar for a specific flavor. I liked both the regular and passion fruit margaritas. My friend appreciated the blueberry but thought it tasted more like berries. We each then got the cheeseburger and fries for 12 dollars each. I appreciated how hot and crispy the fries were! The pretzel bites for 8 dollars with an additional 2 dollars for cheese hit the spot as well. The crowd is on the younger side but this is a good happy hour spot!

Had a happy hour margarita pitcher for 20$ & it was yummy. The vibes were good too and the truffle fries looked amazing. Will def be coming back

I visited A10 yesterday for happy hour. It's from 4-7 on weekdays, 5-7 on Saturdays and 5-8 on Sundays. We got there around 6:40 and there was still a line to get it but it moved relatively quickly. There is indoor and outdoor seating so as we waited in line we got to enjoy the vibes. The place looked busy and everyone looked like they were having a good time. We got seated at 7 but they allowed us to order off the happy hour menu. We got the bloody orange margarita pitcher and some fries between 2 people. Definitely would recommend!

This place is kind of incredible. A10 Kitchen does something most restaurants/bars don't, give you the right amount of food/drink at the right price that's high quality. The place is often busy, so just know that going it, but it's for good reason. There's no lack of places to go in this area, so standing out is tough. A10 is great all-around, but specifically their happy hour is outstanding. The HH menu has some of the best food out there and they understand that it's not about quantity, it's about quality. You'd be hard pressed to find as juicy a burger and fries as this for the price point. Drinks are equally incredible. A10 is all about value, there's no regrets/remorse. They've got an inside and outside. On a nice day, outside is fantastic. Inside can get a bit crowded and a bit loud. Surprisingly, the staff is pretty stellar and making sure things get done quickly and done well. I've never had to wait long for someone to come around to take an order. I've never waited long for a drink or food to arrive. Really great staff that handles the pressure of being a hot spot very well. I like to come here solo and enjoy some me time, but it's also ok for small groups. If you come more than 4 deep though, you might want to call ahead. Can't wait to go back.

Came here to grab some happy hour drinks with my friends. This spot is pretty solid with its happy hour deal. We got a mojito pitcher and a blue pitcher, which supplied a nice buzz. As for the food, the burger was good. The mussels were pretty tasty too as an appetizer. The restaurant's vibe was nice, and we didn't have too long of a wait considering that it was the weekend. If you're in need of a simple happy hour option, A10 Kitchen is a good option.

Great spot for happy hour. 4 of us friends came and got two pitchers of margaritas for $20 each and amazing appetizers to share. The truffle Mac n cheese, pretzels bites and chicken wings were all so good.

Food was ok, drinks are strong. I didn't understand the extra bit of change charged on happy hour plates. $12.38 for mussels, $8 and change for wings, etc. tax was still added into the total so I'm not sure what that's all about? Bartender was entertaining. Overall, fun bar with decent drink selections!

A10 kitchen has a fantastic happy hour! They offer a variety of food and drink options on their happy hour menu. We ordered two pitchers, which was more than enough; they made their drinks strong while being tasty. The only downside is the Mac & Cheese was alright. It looked cheesy, but the inside was too watery for me--the wings and fries were food. Service was good; we were seated right away, and all the staff checked up on the table often.

The food we ordered was overall average at best. I ordered the short rib rigatoni and my friend ordered the A10 burger. The rigatoni tasted a bit bland, the short rib flavors overpowered the rigatoni and sauce throwing the balance off. The burger itself tasted like a standard family BBQ burger, lackluster. The only redeeming piece from what we ordered was my drink, the Apple Bottom Jeans, which tasted good. The wait stuff was not attentive, but that feels like normal NY.

These drinks are: delightfully crafted and Steve Rogers super serum potent. Plus, the bartenders were extremely helpful and more than happy to educate on a few of the spirits that I'd never encountered before. My only regret is not getting any of the food that smelled like happiness.

10/10!! My partner and I went here for their weekend happy hour and... 10/10 recommend! Their 5pm-8pm is great. We arrived at 5pm and left at 8:30pm. We only had 2 pitchers. One was margarita and one was mojito... a1. We were lit. The drinks were definitely worth the money!! Great food. $5 Mac and cheese was worth the money. And you can exchange for just $1+ dollar if you want sweet potato fries. Will was the only waiter on a Sunday in the city... which is absurd, but; Message to management: definitely give Will a raise or a promotion bc he definitely deserves it! The way he handled the foot traffic, while our service was not altered, was very admirable and applaudable. He had great patience and was always kind AND attentive, which is hard to find nowadays. So I would definitely recommend this spot.

I was honestly just looking for a random restaurant here in New York to catch up with my friend Amy while she was in town and was more than impressed by what we found! We ordered a LOT of food including sweet potato fries, regular fries, drinks (espresso martini) the A10 burger, pasta, and some other dishes. Truly, every single one of them was great! Service was friendly, and the prices seemed fair to me. We also left stuffed which is the most important part for me. Amy and I went on a weekend evening (popular time of course). We had a reservation, so we were fine. But I think if you don't have one: fair warning you might be in for a decently sized wait--and with good reason. Amy and I both definitely recommend!

The pricing is spot on! Drinks are very good! Only thing is if you want wings come earlier because they somehow always run out. $20 Pitcher during Happy Hours

Me and the gals made it for happy hour and were sipping on our frozen margaritas for $5 only! Such a steal and it was honestly so refreshing since it was humid that day!!! We ordered the fries and they were delicious as well, so crispy strong aroma of rosemary. I definitely would love to go back and try more food and drinks!

Fantastic happy hour! The $20 marg pitchers are hard to beat - yes, there's a lot of ice, but they're decently strong margaritas and taste good. There is also a solid food menu. We got the pretzel bites and they were great. We sat outside in a booth and it was very spacious and comfortable. We went on cinco de mayo so it was crazy busy but the service was still good. Excited to come back in summer!

Genuine happy hour prices are hard to come by in the city lately so I appreciate the deals here. Food and drinks are good. There's indoor & outdoor seating. Definitely recommend a reservation if you're coming during happy hour.

Definitely will be back!! My friend and I came for happy hour on a Friday evening around 6pm. Lively but not uncomfortable. We ordered two pitchers, one regular mojito and the other a bloody orange margarita. We preferred the mojito over the marg. The drinks were both strong and tasty. We also ordered the Mac n cheese, cheese burger and fries, and chicken sliders. The food was all amazing and just what you want from a happy hour spot. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, probably bc I had too many mojitos LOL but I'm definitely coming back. Great prices, good value, great time. The one ding was that service was a little slow, seemed like they were short staffed when we visited. Update: I came back 3 days later and got pics lol. Cant beat the $20 pitchers

Came for Sunday bunch. Comfortably sat away from folks. They had outdoor seating with heaters above as well but we opted for inside. Service was attentive and not rushed. Very nice staff and we were able to take our time and eat. Recommend this place from other busy busy places.

This is a great brunch spot! Lots of outdoor seating a choices on the menu. I ordered a bloody mary and a breakfast burger and was very satisfied with both. Servers were attentive and quick!

The burger I had was fantastic and the margarita pitcher was delicious too the service was great and it was busy, our waitress was very nice. I would totally come back .

Overall ok, good HH drinks but food was so so. Very friendly staffs though. Blue Cheese Burger - def not gourmet and it was $19! Robbery! Fries were good. Chicken wing was fine.

Such a great happy hour! Was struggling to find a Sunday happy hour and this place has it and the prices are great! We ordered a mix of cocktails and happy hour food and it was all great! cute for a date night or for drinks with friends. Seating inside is kinda small but didn't feel too crowded. Service was pretty good, it got a bit hard to get refills food once it was busy but only because it was one cook and one server and the kitchen was crazy busy Will definitely be back!

I was recommended to this place by a friend and this place is fantastic for happy hour deals. It's not often that you spend under $45 for drinks, appetizer, entree, and dessert. I felt that their food either met or exceeded my expectations. The Mac and Cheese was really good for $5 but it's a bit small (understandably) and the flavors actually wildly exceeded my expectations. Then I had the short rib sandwich which I found to be very pricey, at $26 which kind of offset the whole cheap happy hour niche. But I still devoured it because it was absolutely to die for. Then I had the brownie dessert which was really good too, but the brownie could've been more warm. The place is gorgeous but the downside is that this place is SMALL, and it's always packed. So it's hard to get a seat indoors if it's really cold or rainy out. The first time we went early at about 5:30pm but the second time we tried getting a seat and it was a full house. So we couldn't get a seat indoors and that was something we wanted because it was a very rainy night. They have covered and protected outdoor dining, but I really don't trust those things in the rain. Not only that but I didn't want to make the server have to risk getting sick constantly going in and out of the rain, and the rain was bad. This was towards the end of happy hour which on that day we went it ended at 7pm, and we got there around 6:15pm. So we just turned around and left, but we will be there again but earlier!

The pretzel bites, A10 Burger, and ricotta gnocchi were all tasty! Good service with small homie vibes inside.

Was recommended this place. Only went for happy hour, sat outside( it was too beautiful not too) and people watched. I ordered two things of the menu- I started with a margarita on the rocks- quickly sent it back, the margarita tasted like stale water mixed with rancid orange juice. Then the sweet waitress recommended the blueberry margarita... which was to die for. The drinks are strong, two drinks in, I feeling really nice, and their Mac n Cheese is delicious...:

If you're looking for a bar-restaurant that can accommodate a large group on a Saturday night, this is the place. But otherwise (if you have a smaller group or don't mind waiting), I'd go elsewhere. My friends and I stopped here for a last-minute Halloweekend pregame. We were initially seated inside, but the place reeked of feet smell so we asked to be moved outside (there are outdoor heaters). The staff came out to check on us frequently and the drinks / fries were decent. Overall, very average experience.

The co-owner Matt is a d*** and wont stick to the word of his staff. Southern food by people not even from the South. Would give 0 stars if I could. Lots of other great happy hour in the city instead! Food there was sub par and drinks have a ton of ice. Smells like a bathroom inside so the only option is outside if you're desperate.

This place has a great happy hour for food and drink! I'm talking $18 pitchers of margaritas, $5 frozen cocktails, $5 six piece wings, $10 burgers (with fries!), $5 Mac and cheese and more !! This is only what our table ordered! I enjoyed everything we had, the fires had rosemary which made them extra delicious and we all LOVED the Mac and cheese. Def order your own Mac because it's personal sized and so worth it. My friends didn't like the wings that much but I thought they had great flavor. I would say the food was average over all (4/5 stars) but I think our experience and their deals are too good not to give 5 stars! I would recommend making a reservation because they were very busy! Happy hour times: Tue to Fri: 4pm - 7pm Sun: 5pm - 8pm The staff were all really nice. I felt bad because they were definitely short staffed, it was about 3 or 4 of them running around helping all the people sitting inside and out. It's a great place to take your friends for a well priced and delicious happy hour spot! We will be back.

Went here for happy hour pitcher margarita's boozey and delicious food good fun happy hour
