Cedar Local

I recently visited Cedar Local Restaurant after a friend raved about their burgers, and I’m so glad I went! The burger lived up to the hype—it was absolutely amazing, juicy, and packed with flavor. But the real standout for me was the cocktail made with vanilla vodka and Greek yogurt; it was hands down the best cocktail I've had in the city! The staff were incredibly pleasant, adding to the overall positive experience. The ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend Cedar Local for anyone looking for delicious food and a fantastic atmosphere!

The place has a nice interior and I've had good drinks before. Having said that, 20 bucks for signature cocktails is expensive if they are not above par. The figgin old fashioned tasted like a cheap old fashioned and the red sky at night was pretty weak for the price. I expect better cocktails for the price.

Cute vibe in there. Decorated for the holidays very nicely. The only downfall was that the music was a bit loud, but it was a great playlist. Also, it got VERY dark at one point when the lights were turned down..we had to move the little candle around to see our food. But the food was amazing and had so much flavor. So were the drinks. Definitely would revisit.

It’s a great spot to catch a drink and a bite after work. Came here because Google Maps said it was a great happy hour spot. That’s no longer the case. The only deal is from 3-5: get a free Cedar Lager ($9 normally) with a purchase of bite or plate of food. Food was good but expensive (chicken dumplings $19) and the beer was really underwhelming. Don’t come here for the happy hour specifically. Come for a nice swanky spot to get a drink

Cedar Local is a nice little cocktail bar that is ~medium-sized for a New York bar (decent small tables, high tops, and one area with a long high top for a larger party. The drinks are good and there is a diverse menu. It is not too loud so you can have a conversation. Worth a visit if you’re looking for a chill drink with friends downtown.

Cedar Local is one of my favorite neighborhood places. I’ve been going there for the last 5 years. The food is always delicious and they have a great drink menu as well. Even during these weird times, the food is still incredible and the service, amazing.

The bartender, Julian, was extremely rude to us during our visit. He consistently called my girlfriend "doll" and was very aggressive. We ordered food and I ate a few bites of the remainder of a donut I had. Nobody had any issue with the donut, except Julian applied an automatic 6+ group gratuity to the bill without telling us, despite there only being 3 in my party. When I asked about this, Julian said it was for the couple bites of the donut I ate. We asked him to remove the group gratuity and left him with a 15% tip, despite the awful service we received. He then proceed to follow us outside the building and yelled at us for only leaving a 15% tip. I will NEVER go back.

I actually enjoy the small pubs off the beaten path that don't get too crowded, the good was good, the drinks were great and strong, service could be slightly better but I would recommend anyone stop in for a drink or 2.
