Little Rebel

This bar is awesome. Cool bartenders, fun vibe, and great drinks. I got the cocktail of the week for only $7 and the marg was a perfect balance of jalapeño, cucumber and cilantro. Shoutout to who creates the drink menu, every one I tried was fantastic and I will be back!! The 19th century ambiance meets famous mugshots is so campy and fun. Also highly recommend the truffle fries and brussel sprouts as bar snacks!

Service is fine, and atmosphere is cool with the low lighting. I’d come back here for drinks only. 3 stars because the salads were very underwhelming, the romaine wasn’t even cut (I am aware that it’s considered “traditional” to be served that way), and a little cheap on the dressing and croutons. Didn’t feel worth $14.

Loved this place. The drinks and service were exceptional everyone went above and beyond. The art is cool and the music choice was so fun and really set the vibe. I had The Diablo, it’s like a hibiscus tequila mule. Will be back!

Great experience. Popped in for a drink, stayed for a second. Michael bring the bar was awesome and the atmosphere was fun. Bathroom is a bit odd, but otherwise I fully recommend going in for a drink or two

My family was looking for a cozy place to have a celebration for my son’s PhD party. We had about 35-40 people weaving in and out throughout the night in a semi private room upstairs. Dermot made the whole process easy and smooth, and worked with our needs. Everything flowed so well. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to make mention to how great the brussel sprouts and sliders were. Drinks were great as well. My son’s friends all had a great time! Will definitely return to have brunch or dinner as their menu looks amazing.

Loved this place. The outside has a balcony. Inside is a nice space with 2 floors. Around the inside you have pics, that resemble mug shots, of different celebrities. Their Happy Hour starts early and they have good deals. I had the Rebel Margarita for $8 and A well shot and Draft for $8. I ate the Short Rib Croquetes which were 😋. The Sauce on the side was also very tasty. The bartender, Olivia, was very nice. The service here is very good. I will definitely come back.

I’m not one to typically leave bad reviews but zero stars if I could. Had a 5:30pm reservation for 3 on a Saturday. Was never told there was a 2 hour limit for table reservations. At 7:22pm some asian woman (not sure if she was a manager or hostess or what as she was not the person who had been serving me and my friends during our time there) came to our table and said there was a 7:30pm reservation for the table we were seated at. My friend said no problem we would close out the check. Some other woman came by our table (again not sure who she was as she also was not the woman who had tended to us during the night) and we asked for the check. She went to retrieve it and again the asian woman (by the way I am asian this isn’t a racist or micro-aggression fueled rant) in less than a 10 minute period came over to us again saying there was a reservation booked for the table we were sitting at. Meanwhile there was a table next to us completely empty and when i asked the woman who brought us our check about it she said oh there was a reservation for that table but they came and said they had to leave. Meanwhile me and my friends had been ordering food and refills of our drinks the entire time we were seated. Long story short waaaaaay better bars and restaurants to dine at in the area that will not kick you out while you are still enjoying yourself and spending money at their establishment. But based on other reviews seems like the only way to get respect and hospitality at this establishment is to book large parties. Save yourself the time and trouble music too loud, drinks and food aren’t that great and hospitality is nonexistent.

Great spot for groups! We came with a party of eight and got a big table right away. Everyone loved their food, and our waitress was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and made the night easy. The atmosphere was lively without being too loud. I’d definitely come back, especially to grab a seat up at the bar next time.

A few things to shout out... the environment itself is always pretty friendly and safe!!! A BIG PLUS... ALL BARTENDERS AND SERVICE WORKERS ARE BEYOND HELPFUL, FRIENDLY AND CHARISMATIC. Their characters makes the place what it is. Is it just a bar sure, but you are more than just a customer there, you are a friend! Through the night you will be checked on and paid attention to. GREAT PLACE TO GO WITH FRIENDS... but even if youre alone, an awesome place to grab a quick drink at.

This bar has integrity! I'll be that's not what one thinks when wanting to go to a bar but I'll tell you why I'll definitely be back. First of all, the bartender was quick to notice my group as we walked in for happy hour. Their menus are concise but really put the happy into happy hour with prices that are legitimately great (does it behoove me to tip more? Absolutely). When you accidentally leave your card at the bar, the bartender went out of her way to walk it back to me. I make the mistake often (forgetting my card) and some bars will keep it all night and charge $20 for it back the next day. This bar could have done that, but instead they did the right thing and returned it to me soon after I walked off. Their drinks are balanced and fairly strong (at least for a lightweight like me). If you're looking for mind-blowing sweetness you'd get that elsewhere, but here they make drinks where you can taste the flavors that describe the drink without punching your mouth palette in the groin. The decoration is also interesting with mugshots galore of celebrities - it helps break the ice a little more when a networking conversation takes a pause. Definitely puts the rebel in little rebel which is more than I can say about a lot of restaurants that have a name but don't live up to it. Would I come back? Absolutely.

I didn't learn about Little Rebel until I was invited for a reunion event. The location itself is quite big with a large second floor with a separate bar that comfortably accomodate our party of 30-40 people (definitely had room for more). They have a good range of wine, beers, and cocktails. The Charlie's Ange lwas on the sweeter side so it might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed the strong gin and lavender taste with a subtle citrus flavor. For apps/food, I really liked the steak sandwich cause the meat was actually really tender and well-seasoned. It was paired with an appropriate amount of caramelized onions, cheese, arugula, and sauce. Wish the smoked short rib was more prominent in their short rib croquettes, but it was fried nicely on the outside. The kale caesar salad was solid with fresh veggies. While I would I have preferred more dressing, I think others found the ratio appropriate. The restaurant itself not only had outdoor seating but also plenty of seating on both floors. It gave me pub vibes since I went in the afternoon/evening but I liked the occasional pink neon signs and gold accents. The staff member at the door was super friendly. Didn't catch her name but I just loved her vibes! Bartenders were bartenders but other staff were polite. As I'm seeing all the other reviews about their brunch menu, I look forward to coming back to check our other dishes and drinks!

Came here for brunch and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal! I had the breakfast bowl which I enjoyed but I wasn't the biggest fan of the normal fries. Everything that was supposed to be "crispy" (the fries and brussel sprouts) were still kinda soft. The drinks deals aren't bad either - $23 carafes for 4 people and 2 for 1 espresso martinis and margaritas. Their margaritas were good and strong! there wasn't really anyone else in the restaurant which seemed odd and service was okay but good price overall!

My friends and I ate outside on a Friday night. Inside is quite big but on a beautiful day I wanted to sit outside. Either we were really hungry or the food was just really good but our burgers and chicken sandwiches really hit the spot. I got the fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries (extra $2). It was really good and you can taste the truffle for sure.

Stopped by for a quick drink before dinner and was not disappointed. Sat at the bar area and it was cleaned with good drink choice including frose and orange wine which is not common at other bars.

Took my partner out for Father's Day brunch. The upstairs was completely empty and we sat on the upstairs outside balcony, which was nice. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed their 2 for 1 drink menu. We also ordered froses, which were not included in the 2 for 1. We ordered the burger, chicken and waffles, and the pancakes. Only thing we disliked was that the chicken and waffles had too much cheese for our liking. Besides that everything was delicious. My partner also ordered half dozen of oysters, which he enjoyed as an app. We will most likely go back again for brunch.

We sat outside since the weather was nice. They had good brunch food and drink options. Got the margs and it was really good.

What an adorable, brunch spot! There was neon signs all over the wall that create a perfect photo app, and upstairs is a gorgeous space with chandeliers, and a balcony! I ordered the hangover biscuit, which was perfect for how I felt. Ha ha and my friend got the steak and eggs! Everything was super delicious and cooked perfectly. We had the best time.

we came here for happy hour and these drinks were so cute and THEY WERE STRONG idk what my sister got but i got a lychee martini and thank god for the lychee juice or i would've passed tf out after one sip. also so cute that they put a whole lychee in !

Fun gastro pub located in the East Village with 80s/90s themed movies and music playing. This spot is great for brunch with friends or a causal date night spot, if you're feeling nostalgic. The ambiance includes Victorian-style chandeliers and celebrity mugshots all around! Chicken and waffles with chorizo gravy are great brunch dishes. The espresso martini with Mr. Black is one of the best & don't miss out on the Captain Crunch-flavored deep-fried ice cream.

I love this place!! Everything is craft, you get what you pay for! The interior is such a vibe, you can always guarantee you'll be seated and the food is delish. Service is always great and they're so friendly!

Made it in time for happy hour and got to try many things on the menu! My favorite was definitely the wedge salad, it was perfectly dressed and had a perfect lettuce to topping ratio. The mac n cheese was also delicious, though, we couldn't really taste the jalapeños. Our waiter was also the best, gave us the best recommendations and was hilarious!

Ok so I've been there twice and both occasions were for a work happy hour. Let me just preface this by saying I'm a teacher. We get very few perks in our job so when we get a happy hour, we get very excited. The first time we went was in the spring. There were several people who work there were outright hostile to us for asking for drinks telling us we had to be on a certain side of the bar yelling at us for not going into a certain spaces. We're lower schools faculty we don't need people yelling at us for no reason. Then today, they were complaining so loud about how annoying it is that we're ordering drinks...hello it was a happy hour! It's it's not our fault that they're understaffed or are asking for drinks. No one ever told us we couldn't order drinks so finally they told us we could only order certain drinks. Then I spoke to one of the bartenders and said "hey I really appreciate everything you've done for us work teachers we really appreciate the help. We don't get a lot of perks in our job." The bartender looked at me and said "I've disassociated from all of this, but we like Tips." I had to walk away because he was being such a jerk, but then I came back in a couple minutes and said hey you guys have been really rude to us. All we wanted was to have some drinks in the last day of school, he looked at me and said can I buy you a shot. I said no and walked away. Do better. You're a second rate bar at best. We were just there to enjoy ourselves and you were really rude to us, enjoy that.

My girlfriend recommended this restaurant, and I'm so happy she did. The aesthetics is so unique and cute, it's exactly what the name represents. The music was perfect, it did get a little loud as the night progressed. Our waitress Rose was the best!! They accommodated 11 of us and we ordered plenty of food and drinks. Keep in mind, they offer a smaller food menu, so it made it easier for all of us to taste different items. Margaritas - strong and addicting Mocktail - soooo delicious, one of the best I've tasted. Wings - the Buffalo was the best tasting, the everything bagel was too salty, and the maple; a little too sweet, however delicious. Mac & Cheese - the regular, jalapeño, and lobster Mac & Cheese were VERY addicting and delicious, a must order! Truffle fries - very good Salads - very good Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls - dry, however, tasteful and spicy with the sauce. Popcorn shrimp - delicious This is a perfect place for a girls or date night.

Was invited by a friend for a goodbye get-together. We didn't get a table, just a high top where we could mingle and order drinks or food at the bar. We ordered a bunch of food but since it was so dark I only got a pic of the chicken sandwich. Brussel sprouts- yummy, not sure what sauce was on it but I liked it. Mac & cheese - There are 3 different options and we got the truffle and mushroom, I did not taste truffle in it but it was still very delicious and cheesy. French fries - We ordered the truffle fries, again did not taste like truffle. And had a weird brown powder on it which I assume was truffle but didn't taste like it. Queso - I was hesitant about ordering this, why the corn and the kimchi in it? Was it gross, no. but was it delicious? Also no. Could skip it Popcorn shrimp - I wish the pieces were bigger because these were good and spicy. Chicken sandwich- This looked like the most popular ordered item on the menu so we definitely have to get it, it was perfectly cooked and very crispy, it came with 2 big pieces of chicken breast on the sandwich, we split it open face and shared it between 3 people. But my biggest complaint with it was that the chicken had zero seasoning, not even salt! So sad. Ranch - As a Southerner living in the East Coast for the last 14 years, I still am very partial to dipping my fries into ranch so I ordered a side of it. Holy smokes, this was the disturbing ranch I have ever had in my life lol, I am not even sure what's going on. Everyone in my group tasted it and we came to the consensus that it was made with keifer maybe because it left a fizzy feeling on your tongue. WEIRD! One thing I will say is that everything came out piping hot, something I absolutely appreciate.

Thomas was great 10/10 but once he left, Sebastian the other bartender was rude and rushing us when we asked questions

Interesting mix between a loud bar and sit down restaurant - good for very casual occasions. Crispy Brussel sprouts were great, would recommend.

Awesome bar in the area! Great vibe and wasn't too packed around 9 on a Saturday. Enjoyable cocktails and super friendly service. Very spacious and cute interior. A great spot to get some drinks with girlfriends or maybe even a first date. I haven't yet tried the food but it looked good. I'm definitely coming back! 4.8/5

They have quite cute balcony on the second floor that feels European. Nice additional to EV. Cocktails - Rebel's Margarita + James Dean : both are premade. Very spirited-forward. Rebel Burger - above average that can cure one's burger craving. FRIES was crispy brown to the level that we LOVE it! Fried Short Rib Croquette - so so, not much meat. HOWEVER, Uhm so the same thing happened to other Yelper happened to me, that the waitress charged us something we didn't order and the receipt came un-itemized. I recalled seeing the review so I asked her to email us the itemized receipt after we paid since the bill was higher than expected. And yes we were also charged for additional drink that we didn't have. Hope they know in order to run the business longer, honesty is more important.

this place was a fun vibe! we came here after visiting a small wine bar that was overpriced, and we loved this place. i kinda wish we had stayed longer, but we were exhausted after our first day in NYC. this bar had great music and a fun crowd! we found seats at the bar pretty easily and the drinks were much more affordable. they had great cocktails and a good selections of wines too

This space is more of a gastropub. Unfortunately, I was hoping to sit upstairs where apparently the dining space is nicer. The service was good but the downstairs was a bit noisy for a dinner. The food was ok. The Everything pot pie was bland and didn't feel much like a pot pie. The queso fundido was decent and the kimchi was a nice touch. The cauliflower was underseasoned as were the vegetable skewers. It was overpriced for the quality of the food.

Super yummy . Should've taken pics. I will next time! Got the chicken and waffles and the two for the price of 1 cocktails.

amazing service from the bartenders ! first time in and they made us feel super welcome, and made some great recommendations on the food menu--also enjoyed watching Brazil in the background). the music was a bit overwhelming considering it was mostly empty that night, but i'd definitely come back

Stopped by this cute spot for drinks! We came at prime brunch hour (just after noon on a Saturday) and there were plenty of tables open. I absolutely loved the Winslet ($14), which was essentially a spiked peppermint hot chocolate. The electric koolaid ($140 was also refreshing and sweet. The beetlejuice ($14) is super unique (would be great for Halloween!) but too sour for me. They also have "rebel juice" which they serve in shot format, and it was fun to try. The place has fun, eclectic vibes and isn't very loud. This would be a great spot to grab brunch, or even just drinks, with friends!

Fine bar. Lively at night with lots of people. Not super dancey. Drinks are ok. Would come again

Super fun vibe here and great food, but service / atmosphere is still a work in progress. We had an 8PM Saturday res and were immediately excited by the vibe and decor, but were just as quickly turned off by the inability to hear each other over a large party that had booked out the bar area of the second floor. Throughout the night the bartenders also shouted even more loudly, over the roar of the party, to get the attention of the party goers. We had to stop talking every time this happened (at least 5 times) because it was impossible to hear each other at all when this would occur. We ordered the Kimchi Queso, which was delicious but were very disappointed that it didn't arrive until our entrees did, 30 minutes after ordering. The chicken sandwich was delicious but the bun was a little small and soft, which led to it feeling soggy towards the end. The salad that it came with was actually great - it was just lettuce but the dressing was delicious. All seats are bar stools without backs, which led to us using the 4th stool at our table for our coats since we were only 3 people. However, midway through another waiter took away our extra stool because he apparently needed it for another table. We were annoyed by this considering the only other place to put our large winter coats was an open coat rack next to the bathroom, which felt far too exposed for our liking. Had we put our coats there and had they been stolen, I doubt the restaurant would do anything about it. This was also especially frustrating as there was plenty of wall space and space under our tables where the restaurant could easily install plenty of hooks. Since we were at a table that's normally used for parties of four, we were also perplexed by their needing the stool for another table. Do they not have enough stools for the number of tables? Overall, we liked the restaurant, but the several little turn offs were enough to leave us feeling disappointed in the end.

Cool atmosphere, good food at good prices, BUT really crappy service. We were a table of 3 doing a Tuesday happy hour, so it was basically empty. Somehow we were still struggling to flag our waiter who was strolling around & chatting with other employees, not coming to check on us at all! He disappeared for quite a while after taking our drink orders & before coming back to take our food orders. Disappointed, probably wouldn't go back

HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for brunch. I went to brunch here with a group of friends, and we had the best time. The upstairs space was so beautiful with high ceilings and chandeliers and huge doorways. We were seated far from any other table, so it there was lots of space and it was easy to here each other. The food was excellent. We were a group of 9 and all loved it. I got the french toast, which came with tons of berries and was excellent. The only flaw in the entire brunch was that the maple syrup was smoked, and nobody could understand why considering maple syrup is excellent without being smoked. However, the meal was still great. The waitresses were so kind and patient and brought out our drinks quickly (we did bottomless brunch). And the drinks were excellent and strong. There are a lot of options for drinks from mimosas and bilinis and to margs and other options as well! Everything was excellent. It was a great deal financially as well. I highly recommend this spot and will be back for sure.

I'm a local. On September 12 i walked in for a beer. Every TV in the bar is showing the 60s movie "The Towering Inferno". When I address the staff and suggest it's poor form the "manager" tells me "it's just a movie" and dismisses it. No excuse for that insult to the lost souls I'm not going back. You guys decide for yourself

Had my birthday party for around 30 people at Little Rebel last night and it was perfect! The upstairs space is absolutely gorgeous (stunning chandeliers!), the food options were fantastic and tasty, and the drinks were unique and fun. Dermot and his staff were really easy to work with and made the process smooth and seamless. Highly recommend throwing an event here as, the combination of all of the above made the night perfect and memorable. Will be coming back for sure.

Clean and cute aesthetic. Definitely need to do some marketing because we walked in yesterday on a Friday night at 11:30 and there were just enough people to fill the bar. I also think they need a serious playlist overhaul. The music didn't make sense to me all over the place... Had awesome skull and skeleton drink accessories which were SO fun. I'll def update this if anything changes the next time I happen to go!

Fun and lively nightlife. Went for drinks with my friends and we had an amazing time. The service was incredible.

One of those stars is for our waitress, Rose. She really made the night. There was a good selection of beers, and the shrimp appetizer was excellent. The buffalo spring rolls were a great idea. Tastewise, they were okay, but not as novel as the name. We stayed in the small outside space because the acoustics and the music inside made it too loud to easily converse. Even with the sirens and honking horns, outside was better. Rose was always on the spot, ready with refills and rag. (We're a messy lot).

First time here and will definitely be our new hang. The entire night was amazing. The artwork, service, food, drinks, and even the bathroom was fantastic. There's another bar upstairs that was having a private party so next time we come here, will have to check out the upstairs.

Sensational place!! Service and ambiance top shelf! We had the wedge salad, and chicken and French toast at lunchtime. Delicious and memorable!!!

Writing this review based on the horrible experience I had here this past weekend. The bar is not taking responsibility for their lack of control over a private event that was booked. I went to this bar to see a friend that was in town, and my friend was at a private event upstairs. I told the hostesses upon walking in that I was going upstairs, and they said I needed a wristband. I asked them if I needed this wristband just to enter the event upstairs because I was not drinking and it was $65 for an open bar. They said, yes. KNOWING that their policy is to give wristbands out to whoever walked in. They did not keep a guest list for this event because I was told they "are not a club". I assumed a bar hosting a private event would be organized enough to know how many wristbands were purchased this event, but apparently as I said the policy is to just give out wristbands to whoever walks in the door and then make the responsibility fall on the host of the event. Seems like a great scam to rack up a host's bill and then claim they have no responsibility over it. Not only was the host of the event charged extra for my wristband that was given out by mistake, but then I spoke to the owner of the bar and he could not have been more disrespectful. He had a horrible attitude on the phone, clearly has no respect for women or clients of the bar, and then had the nerve to tell me I am out of control for saying "fu*****" after he continued to degrade me and my situation. He was rude the entire phone call and then decided my reaction to his tone was over the top. He then hung up on me. I called back to ask for his name, and he refused to give it to me. He was more than happy to take my name, and then hung up on me when I asked for his again. I called back and another employee said his name was either Dermont Lynch or Jarek Krukow. According to google, they are "industry vets". Which makes sense on why they are so skilled at covering their mistakes and taking no responsibility -- seems anyone can get to the top by taking advantage of people. Definitely avoid this place for hosting large events unless you want their irresponsible staff giving out 10 more wristbands than your quota that you gave the bar for the event.

My friends and I were on the way to another bar to grab drinks before dinner, but we stopped at Little Rebel instead because it looked too cute to pass up. It was already pretty packed at 7pm, but we were able to get a few seats at the bar. I got a Rebel Toddy, and my friends got the Charlie's Angel and Chili Palmer cocktails - all of the drinks were amazing and so so pretty (especially the Charlie's Angel - the lavender syrup made gave it an amazing purple color). Really fun bar, definitely want to come back!

As a general restaurant, this place isn't out of this world, but as a brunch spot, five stars. The booths and decor are a fun atmosphere for a group brunch and the food is solid. I've tried most of the brunch menu at this point and haven't been disappointed. The bottomless option is affordable and they offer options other than just your classic mimosa which is always nice. Pretty quick service too. Definitely recommend for your next brunch with friends.

While it was sad for some Bostonians to see Professor Thom's go, the bar that took its place is a completely different vibe. There's wallpaper, hip hop and class here! I enjoyed my martini and tried a craft beer

The interior was really cute and trendy, the rebel theme is well done with mug shots and photos of celebrities around. The drinks were yummy and well presented. I went on a Friday night and it wasn't super crowded which was great - highly recommend!

My salmon avocado toast may have been the best I have had in the city, and my friends' brunch dishes looked great too. The service was fine - nothing major to complain about, but they were busy which makes sense since it's such a popular brunch spot!

The proprietors of this bar have achieved something truly incredible. They have taken a neighborhood institution which everyone enjoyed and returned to and made it infinitely worse on every conceivable level. The decor and ambiance has ideas infinitely above its station and purpose. The food is either severely overcooked or grippingly cold. The staff are moderate at best and the faux upscale Irish identity is a disservice to anyone who has even a remote connection to Ireland. Avoid at all costs.

I really love this place. Travis and Marcos are great bartenders. Their friendly service is what keeps me coming back. The two levels have very different vibes. Downstairs is dark and moody and there is always a movie playing. Upstairs is much lighter and more airy. Both are nice, depending on what you are in the mood for. While the drinks are delicious and the bar is well stocked, the food options (at least for vegetarians, like myself) leave something to be desired. The mushroom tacos were phenomenal, but are no longer on the menu, which is a major disappointed considering I ordered them every time I was here...

Little Rebel is a great spot to grab some quick drinks/apps with some friends or come out to for a chiller late night. It looks unassuming from the outside but once you enter, you'll find that the space is quite large and there's an upstairs with more room and fun decor. Definitely one to check out if you're ever in the area!

This place is a cute spot in east village with a smaller food menu but a very good cocktail menu! The food was average as the breakfast sandwich came with a biscuit that was very dry and lacked flavor. The fries were seasoned well and perfectly cooked! This place is in a good location and perfect for a date or girls night!

Came back here over the weekend because I had a good time previously. This time I sat at the bar and chatted with Izzy, who was lovely. I ordered the chicken sandwich again which is consistently delicious. I went off menu with a classic Martini, also excellent. Fun staff and crowd - a great addition to the neighborhood.

Super cute bar in the EV... great happy hour cocktails and fun NYC vibe! Friendly bartenders and yummy bar bites too.

Fantastic. No complaints. Great vibes great food. WE ARE SO INTO THIS PLACE. Brunch is the best thing I've ever witnessed and eaten truly. Coffee great sandwhich great. Note: I'm hungover
