Harry's Side Bar

Loved Megan and Jordan – they were both phenomenal and the drink(martini) and food(happy hour chip and dip) I had was as nice as the ambience. I love the idea of a 10 PM to 11 PM happy hour except you HAVE to add a martini to the menu! Obvious miss there.

So… lol I walked in for a COFFEE! But we stayed because we felt welcomed regardless I was wearing an old Seahawks shirt and my son was on a tshirt. He ordered 2 manhattans, papas bravas and a carrot cake. Everything was amazing. And the carrot cake because one of my favorites in the city instantly. I will definitely be back!!! Thanks to our server and truly, thank you for everything.

Normally I don't do this, but we went for a couple of drinks, after asking for two drinks we end up returning them because the tequila tasted fake and when we mentioned it to the bartender the bartender was so rude. My friend ended up throwing up after that drink, I can not believe there's a bar that serves fake alcohol and the bartender ended up charging up for the drinks with fake alcohol.

Highly recommend! We had our engagement party here and the entire team went above and beyond to make it an amazing night for all of us.

Great pick on a crowded row on Stone Street for a more nature crowd (not many university kids). Bar is inviting and warm, good ventilationeith doors open on this early summer day.

Went for drinks and light bites on a Thursday evening. The bar was full but was able to grab a table without a reservation. I got the Rochester Rally (basically an old fashioned) which was tasty. The other person got The Alchemist which was refreshing and wasn’t spicy at all (even though it had Japanese chile). We shared the Hanover Steak and Cheese Sandwich which was okay (had a weird meat taste) but the Gruyère cheese made up for it. Also had the Papas Bravas which would’ve been great if the texture was a bit softer (the finger lake potatoes were a bit undercooked) but the smoky aioli was tasty. Then shared a glass of red cab which was delicious. The service was top notch and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would come back for cocktails and try the other small plates.

happy hours 4-6 with wine and good cocktails, plus typical small bites - cheese board and dessert. we went with chocolate mousse. both indoor and outdoor seating are open.

This os a great place to get done work,it is cute not too busy and the have a good menú of wines cocktails and few plates of food(they are rather small but delicioso)I spent there almost 3 hours and I didn't see how fast time fly there. I was working in o es of my personals proyects and a really can recomend that place to try to finishing something that you cannot at home while you are having a glass of wine and some food.

Totally shocked to see this place doesn't have a higher rating. I've been to Harry's Side Bar a few times this past year and while I haven't tried the food, I found the service to be exceptional and the cocktails strong, delicious and reasonably priced for the area. The ambiance of Harry's strikes just the right balance between upscale and approachable. The bartenders are not only friendly, but seem to have a genuine interest in making your time there enjoyable. They're also extremely knowledgeable - if there's something you're in the mood for that isn't on their cocktail menu they'll not only make it, but will curate it to your specific tastes and liking. On my last visit my friend and I were really in the mood for dirty martinis. The bartender made sure it was dirty enough to both our likings and that the type and brand of alcohol were to our preferences. I've had plenty of martinis where they serve the extra in a little glass on the side, but Harry's takes it a step further and makes sure that little bonus martini stays cold by putting it into its own little ice bucket. Adorable and smart. I don't know that I'd travel all the way to Stone Street just to come here, but if you're in the area Harry's serves plenty of needs. Looking for somewhere fun and hip to start the night off? Harry's has your back. Need a night cap? Harry's 10 pm late night happy hour helps keep the night going without hurting your wallet. Want to spend 2+ hours spilling some tea with your girlfriends? Harry's is your place. They also serve one of the best, if not the best espresso martini I've had in the city.

Came here during happy hour, waited 40 min for our order, just watching the bartender and waitress eating, and realized they forgot our order. Oh well, polenta fries was good, drinks were so so.

The problem with NYC is that exactly what you need will magically appear, if you wait long enough. How the hell am I supposed to quit that?!? Background: I moved back upstate in 2020 after 15 years in Manhattan. I've visited several times since then, but this was my first time back to the office in three years. My coworker friend and I wanted a quiet bar where we could catch up and relax. Unfortunately, she had laryngitis. Doubly unfortunate: our office moved to FiDi in early 2022, a stone's throw from Stone Street. Quiet bars are not what finance bros are looking for. We walked into several bars, hoping for one where we could get two seats together and hear each other. Honestly, I never thought we'd find a thing. And then we stumble upon Harry's. In a sea of loud, crowded Stone Street bars, this gorgeous art deco train car-inspired bar appeared as though we'd conjured it. Sedate. Refined. Uncrowded. I worried they weren't open; why else was it not packed to the gills?? In a word, they were incredible. My friend asked if they could make a hot toddy for her, and boy howdy could they ever. Christian used his butane crème brûlée torch to scorch some lemon, and added a drained star anise to the finished product. Utter elegance. As for me, when I saw they had Tanqueray 10, my favorite gin, I knew I needed a martini. Christian asked if I wanted olives or a twist; I said that I loved olives but a twist probably paired better with this delicate gin. Reader, Christian rocks. He gave me a crisp clean martini, olives chilling--with the remainder of my martini--on ice in a separate glass. I've actually had this before, from a bartender friend, and it is the perfect way to have a martini. Let the gin do it's delicate, herbaceous, floral thing, and still treat your palate to a briny olive, but without the olive disturbing the balance of the martini. Delectable gamechanger of happiness. Friendly service. Amazing ambiance. Top-shelf liquor. Competitive prices. Knowledgeable staff. Look, I'm not saying I conjured Harry's Side Bar into existence. But Harry's Side Bar was exactly what we needed, in the middle of a swamp of what we hoped to avoid. Get to this oasis ASAP.

Great little fun bar with moderately priced cocktails and drinks. They have a good happy hour too that includes some food items (even on the weekend). Our server was super sweet and even checked in with us before HH ended.

We stumbled upon this place after Drunk Shakespeare Saturday evening. The wait staff were friendly and service was pretty good. The drinks were good. It wasn't crowded for a Saturday evening. Would come back.

super cute place but they served us lays potato chips with our tuna tartar. I asked for something we could put the tuna on and they presented us with bread lol. Ordered a bottle of wine that they couldn't open. spilled it pouring (didn't clean it up) and filled it to the top of the glass? I never write reviews but for the price I am so confused on the food and service.
