Great cocktails! We ended up sitting outside which was nice, our waitress was super nice and attentive as well. We ordered a few plates that we ended up splitting amongst the 5 of us which was a good portion.

Words can't even describe how amazing dinner was! The food and the cocktails were absolutely phenomenal. We loved everything. We started off with the special cocktail of the day, Watermelon Mojito (which was perfect) and Cocktail 7 (my favorite). The Brazilian cheese bread was SO good, both with the honey and scallion cream cheese! Oh and they're gluten free! The charcoal carrots come with crushed pistachios in a buttermilk vinaigrette with dill & mint - wow what a combo! We enjoyed the avocado toast very much. The burger was great too! The vegan grain bowl was also amazing, but we were so full I ended up taking it home, and ate it a few hours later haha. I don't remember the last time I had an amazing dinner from beginning to end in a while, and Ollie West Village did it. Loved it very much & cant wait to go back! Oh and they're super pet friendly!

Solid food and drinks, great for meeting with friends on a week day. All the drinks were great, it’s so hard to go wrong. Even our friend who didn’t like the ingredients and decided to go out of his comfort zone could only say “this is SO good” afterwards. Good was also great. I highly recommend the Grain Bowl it if you’re looking to add some vegetables and whole foods to your day. It definitely felt both filling and nourishing. The Short Rib sandwich was also a great alternative for something heavier. This felt like a great place to take a rest and recharge for the rest of the week.

This place is well worth a stop! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the company of a lovely bartender and throughly enjoyed both the drinks and snacks we had. The cocktail menu changes seasonally. But If you’re visiting in the summer I highly suggest number 2 and number 5. Also the peanut butter old fashioned is great!

Amazing cocktails. Friendly staff and wait I cant forget about the food. Pao de queso is beyond greatness. Brazillian cheese bread honey and scallion cream cheese is the perfect combo. 1800 Milenio 🔥 don't forget to try cocktail number 3 and their new tuna crudo plate with crispy rice and dashi broth !

Hands down, one of the BEST Veggie sandwiches I've had in my life! Experiences like this makes my transition into Veganism so much easier! Oh yeah, their cocktails are next level good!

great cocktails. probably my favorite coffee based martini in nyc. the bartender doesn’t talk, but that’s ok because the cocktails speak for themselves.

My husband and my drinks were delicious, unique, and well-mixed. All of the food sounded great, but we didn’t want to ruin our appetites before dinner, so we will have to come back!

Came here to check out the Hanukkah pop up they have before it closed. I had made reservations in advance for 4pm on a Tuesday. I got there right at 4 and they took me with no problem. I could sit at a table or the bar. I opted for the bar. I ordered the Hebrew Hammer which was vodka with "leavened" sugar, lemon, and Raspberry. ( This was $17.00) And I also got a manischewitz jello shot. I tried the sweet potatoes latkes which came with sour cream and honey mustard. It was all very tasty! I was also able to buy a glass that says Maccabee bar. The bartender was friendly and took my food allergies into consideration. I will deff be back here to check it out when it's not a Hanukkah pop up bar and try other of their drinks and food. The atmosphere here just to let you know it on the small side but it was super cute how they decorated it for the holiday!

Came on a Thursday after work. There was plenty of space. They have happy hour until 7. Service took awhile. We went up to ask about our cocktail and glass of wine, and they offered to give it on the house since it took so long. The bill came and we had to remind them that they said that. Drinks were good though.

What a laid back, relaxing space. If you're looking for delicious apps and and we'll-crafted cocktails, you can't go wrong here. Our tiki drink was delicious and the fried balls of cheese (the name escapes me) and the mushroom tacos were wildly tasty. The service was educational, helpful, and efficient. I'll be back.

Ollie is an inventive cocktail bar with a rotating menu - every time I come here the selection is different! In the past, they've had delicious cocktails including a unique take on an espresso martini, a sweeter pink cocktail with strawberry, and one where ginger was the star of the show (topped with candied ginger!). When I came here last weekend, I got a cocktail featuring a green apple and ginger flavor profile (I believe it may have been #4, but to be honest, I don'treally keep track since the menu changes fairly frequently). It was really good and very unique to what I've seen on other menus. My partner often gets one of their main staples: The BLVD, which features a peanut butter washed whiskey. As others have mentioned, they could use another bartender since drinks take a while, but honestly, the drinks are soooooo worth the wait, I don't mind. Service is always friendly (shoutout to Matt the bartender, who made our delicious drinks last weekend!). Ollie is among my favorite cocktail bars in the city and I highly recommend checking it out.

Very strange ambience and food menu. Food wasn't bad but had everything from a tiny lobster roll to a charcuterie board. Best to come for drinks and the charcuterie board!

Just stopped in for a drink. Pretty small drink menu, and didn't love the options that we tried. Nice little spot though with friendly staff.

Edit: just realized we went during the Macabee Bar Hanukkah-inspired takeover! Either way will definitely visit again :) Really fun bar with interesting cocktails! It was Hanukkah-themed when my friend and I stopped by. And the decor and cocktails were wonderfully themed. The bar was very busy when we arrived, but the bartender was as attentive as he could be and friendly. My friend and I got cocktails and a pao di quejo to share, which were absolutely delightful.

This place is a lot of fun. I went for the Hanukkah theme night and it was Amazing. Britney the bartender is fabulous. She has a witty sense of humor and has the energy you look for in a good bartender. The music was on point and made the energy so much fun. The food was very good. I am adding this place to my list and checking it twice. Happy holidays everybody.

So happy to stumble upon this place upon the recommendation of a friend - such a hidden gem for AMAZING cocktails. We also ordered some food which was good (but nothing super memorable) but you really come here for the drinks. Cocktails: I tried a bunch of the drinks. They're really good at making creamy drinks - I don't know how they make it so creamy and fluffy. #3 was one of these creamy creations with a light pandan flavor that smelled amazing! #6 was also really good and gingery - also very fragrant and creamy. #1 was a refreshing smash drink - very strong in flavor (and alcohol content) but it was also still very balanced. Food: - Cheese bread was so good - very moist and plenty cheesy and goes great with sour cream - Roast beef sandwich was also very delicious - very tender though maybe a bit on the salty side - Tuna crudo was very refreshing, I like the crunchy flavor from the radish and wild rice, the tuna was very fresh and I love the vinaigrette that came with it - Their brussel sprouts were a bit of a disappointment - it was a bit soft and not as crispy as most restaurant brussels. And you really need the fish sauce or else it's a bit bland.

This is a very platonic bar - if you want to friend zone and drink (or play it super safe), this is a good place. Jokes aside, the drinks here are superb, very up my alley. I got the Cocktail 2 - spring forward mezcal, A+ drink. If I were not calorie counting I would try the menu. The place is cute and reminds me of a dessert shop. Quite spacious and good seating. The table/chair setup is good for conversations. Brightly dim, easygoing vibes, definitely no canoodling. But good for friends! 5 for drinks, minus 1 star for lack of intimate vibes and a mid-friendly bartender (skilled tho!)

Wowweee! This place is a scene! We went during the holiday season where this bar changes persona and becomes "Maccabee Bar" and it did not disappoint. We went last year and there was a line 50 people long to get in... for bar spots. Luckily we had a reservation. The Latke Sour, and "Shin Shin Put It In" was delicious are unique and I would highly suggest those. The bar was decorated with Hanukkah swag and we bought a souvenir glass because they ran out last year. My dog was very sad we left her alone for four hours, because she really wanted to come... maybe next year

This review does not exist. You are not reading this review because if you are, that means it's real--and then you will also know about this cozy little cocktail bar on a nothing street in West Village. And then I might not be able to just walk in with a friend on a Sat evening sans resy and be seated right away. And it might get too busy for us to receive free drinks and the undivided attention of our amazing bartender. Let's say hypothetically this bar exists. You might enjoy Cocktail No. 3 if you're looking for mild mezcal and cardamom. But I prefer Cocktail No. 5 for its gorgeous beet color, flavor and notes. And if you're looking to return to childhood, the Fall Old Fashioned served with an actual toasted marshmallow will evoke memories (real or imaginary) of s'mores--except this s'more gets you drunk. So stop reading. This review is not real. There is no spoon.

Quite possibly the most immaculate cocktail list I've encountered in NYC. #4 and #7 are my favorite and I keep coming back to try everything. Both were delicious and refreshing. Wonderful service. Open airy space with chill vibes. Highly recommend for a drink and a light bite.

Bartender is super nice. Drinks are interesting, but seem very sweet, so I just had wine which was good. It was its first time opening on a Sunday so the place was empty. I would definitely give it another shot on another day.

I was strolling in the west village and this place popped up first when I searched for cocktail bars. Spacious decor and outdoor seating. Not too busy during the week. I sat at the bar and ordered the Cocktail 7. I like how they just create a number list for their cocktails. The #7 was created with Mi Campo Tequila, passion fruit, coconut water, lemon,aperol sprinkled with cinnamon on top. It came out well balanced and tasty. My 2nd drink was the Coco-Mango Batido from the New classics section. Tasted very creamy but not full smoothy. Made with Cana Cachaca, toasted coconut, lime and tonka bean. Just for transparency, it had a weird aftertaste maybe from the bean. I still drank that whole drink so I'm not really complaining. I'm really glad i passed by here. Great respite from the heat. Awesome cocktail list. Would you certainly return to try more cocktails.

I quite love this place! We came with a group of 6 and almost tried all the cocktails. My personal favorite is No. 3 and The BLVD, but honestly they are all worth exploring! While many places are serving pre-made and overly sweet cocktail, it was a joyful movement when I found this spot! I do feel like some combination are still pre-made but in general my taste bud was happy. Also really really like some of their dishes- *Tuna Crudo - it was so so good. Honestly I was really surprised after my first bite that a cocktail-driven spot would have such fresh seafood and if was just done perfect. Refreshing and enough complex of flavor. *Charcoal Carrot - very very good as well. I prefer a bit more charred so it's softer and burnt on the skin. But my friend also loves that you can still taste the carrot flavor. *Squash & Ricotta - what can go wrong with this?! After the amazing bites from our first 3 food order, we added the Brazilion Cheese Bread & Short Rib Sandwich. I'd say none of us was wow my these two though. Anyways it's a great new spot!

Great, not crowded cocktail spot! Not too crowded on a Friday night - not line or wait time. I loved the 6. Decently priced, fast service. Kind of empty inside in terms of decor/ambiance but can't complain. It felt like a coffee/boba shop but dimly lit and loud in terms of ambiance.

Austin S.

Yelp
Lots of fun cocktails at Ollie. Me and my GF both really liked ours. We were thinking of trying the more "advanced" ones like the peanut butter but ended up playing it on the safer side. It was pretty empty inside when we went. Music was fun ans they have a dance floor like area but not sure anyone would ever dance. Didn't get the chance to try any food. Nothing bad to say about the experience so I guess 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I don't frequent the area but will stop back in when I'm nearby.

Raphael P.

Yelp
Been here a couple times and I must say they make a great cocktail, a bunch of them are amazing. Recommend the BLVD if craving an old fashioned with a peanut butter twist (trust me it's good). The two mezcal based ones are awesome (cucumber and beet colored ones), would recommend. Kind and accommodating staff as well. Would go back.

Ollie is incredible, if you haven't been here yet add it to your go-to list asap. To start, the well lit ambiance with white walls and plants adorning the ceilings is very unique for an NY cocktail bar. I love that it's bustling with good music and conversation but also quiet enough that you can hear everyone at your table. On to the drinks! Our server came quickly and gathered our drinks order and also gave us some great suggestions. You really can't go wrong with any of these drinks, they're incredibly elegant and well made. I personally love the cocktail #5 with mezcal and beet. If you like a good tequila drink, cocktail #7 is also fruit forward and phenomenal. As for food, you'd be surprised at just how good the food is here. The pao de queijo brought me straight back to South America where I'd have Brazilian cheese bread regularly. It was truly THAT good, and it comes with a cream cheese and honey that pair excellently together. I also LOVE a good tuna crudo and man this one is incredible. The dill flavor is forward and the puffed rice adds the perfect crunch. The tuna is so fresh and delicious. We also got the Ollie burger, a fantastic burger. Our waitress was nice enough to let us stay extra long and try more cocktails throughout. Overall an incredible spot, try it before the hype starts building because I'm sure it will!

The ideal dinner and drinks spot in my opinion. I'm not much of a fan of bar food so usually when I'm having cocktails I like to opt out of the food served there. Ollie has changed the game for me. Their food menu is relatively healthy if you ask me. I had their veggie burger with fries and it was just the right amount to accompany the 2 cocktails that I ordered. My friend had got the Ollie burger and she really enjoyed that as well. The drinks itself were beyond what I had expected. Each drink was so unique and tasteful. The indoor scene was quite nice and exactly what we were looking for. It had that bar scene but with brighter lighting. They had tables spread out pretty well so there is still some privacy if you're looking to go on a date here. Overall 10/10 experience. Highly recommend checking out Ollie!

Such a sweet place! Went here with my friend on a rainy night and we loved that it was new and not crowded or loud. Soothing, quiet, pouring rain, and might I add...INCREDIBLE DRINKS! This photo is of my friends drink (cocktail #5). I got cocktail #1 (the one with raspberry's) and didn't even get a photo of it. It was so creamy and frothy and strong and delicious. Cannot wait to go back and have more. Treat yourself to a catch up and date at this adorable spot. 5 stars!!!!!!

Michelle D.

Yelp
Unexpectedly excellent spot on Downing. Tucked away at the end of the street (near McDs) you almost wouldn't know it was there. Keep walking... it's worth it! The mezcal beet cocktail was excellent. It was fresh and boozy. Exactly what I needed, so I ordered two. The Brazilian cheesy bread was legit. Just as I remembered having in San Paulo. With just a dab of honey - perfection. The waiter mentioned they are gluten-free (if that matters to you). The burger and veggie grain bowl were too delicious, there wasn't a moment to snap a pic. Ask for hot sauce with whatever you order. It was yellow, and packed a serious punch.

Nivi R.

Yelp
A friend raved about their cocktails and brought me here recently. She said it's a hidden gem. Well it wasn't very hidden on a Saturday night, but we still managed to snag a table at around 10pm. Very casual and easy vibe. We did a round of cocktails - my friend got cocktail #7 and I did the mango/coco drink (don't judge...but pina colada is literally my favorite mixed drink). I loved those big ice cubes, it's apparently hand carved. I'd come back here again and hope this continues to stay a "hidden gem".

- Lovely drinks: creative and refreshing. - Price point: is fairly standard and fair. - Service: is solid. We sat at the bar and the bartender was fantastic. Thoughtful around chilling glasses/making drinks and checked up on us in an appropriate frequency.

Loved the place, the inside is beautiful the outside patio is very plain. We had 4 cocktails between us and the pao de queijo. If you're looking for the most authentic pao de queijo, I don't think they taste like the ones I had in Brazil, but they were quite tasty anyway! The cocktails were: #1: Refreshing and light, not very strong #5: My favorite, delicious and flavorful. Keep in mind there's a large block of ice in there so it looks like more than it is, but I still loved it. #6: Also very refreshing! #7: the foam is quite cinnamony but the drink underneath is delicious and fruity Staff was friendly and and very accommodating! Bathrooms were also very clean

Been back a few times, but I feel compelled after this last visit to speak up for this bar again. Honestly, my biggest concern on the verge of pandemic was that this bar wouldn't survive; my worry was unfounded. This bar and restaurant found ways to thrive during the pandemic and continues to have a delightful menu of shared dishes in addition to delicious cocktails. The ambiance is great for a date night or small group, with a cute inside decor as well as a warmly lit outdoor atmosphere. Nim was a charismatic and charming bartender. He offers great conversation on top of memorable drinks. All in all, highly recommend. .

I really like this place and so happy I stumbled upon it. I went on a early Friday evening when it wasn't too crowded, but it gets busy as they evening goes on so definitely make a reservation. They have outdoor and indoor seating, but I think the indoor decor is so cute that it's worth sitting inside. The drinks & food - WOW. So good! They don't have a huge food menu, but the few items I had: cheese bread, tuna, & burger wedge were so delicious. And bonus - they have more than one vegan option if you're vegan/vegetarian. I had the mezcal cocktail with beets & pineapple and it was so good! It's one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. If you're downtown this place is worth the visit. It's great for a date night, girls night. Very casual & cute!

Sargam M.

Yelp
Average cocktails, average on the ambiance....slightly below average on the overall experience. The vibe was somewhere between a coffee shop and a casual bar. The seating area was a bit weird - the tables on one side were packed very tightly together, and then a lot of open space in the middle (that could have been used so that tables were not sitting elbow-to-elbow with other tables). The cocktails sounded good, and looked pretty....but were quite forgettable on the taste scale (had the #3 and #5). The odd part of the experience: when we were done with our first round of cocktails, our server walked by and informed us that the table was only for an hour and a half, so we had ~45 mins left. It would have been nice to have known that when we made the reservation, or even when they seated us. We were barely through our cheese plate, so we decided not to order more drinks or food there and went elsewhere instead for the rest of the night :/

Stumbled across Ollie on a Friday evening. Such an amazing find, even though I was skeptical at first. It looked like a breakfast/brunch spot (with all of the white and light blue decor) and was surprised they were open so late. It wasn't too crowded so we were able to immediately get a table outside at around 10pm. THE COCKTAILS WERE PHENOMENAL. We planned on just grabbing one drink each, and ended up getting 5 total. The cocktails were so well-blended, strong, and delicious. These were probably some of the best made cocktails I've had in NYC. I was deciding between the Cocktail 7 and Coco-Mango Batido - and ended up getting both. The BLVD was also fantastic - very creative peanut butter whiskey that my boyfriend loved. Our waiter, Leo, was very attentive and friendly. He had great drink recommendations. We ended up staying until closing and would have stayed longer! Will absolutely be back - this place is a hidden gem and probably the next up and coming cocktail spot in west village.

Caitlin C.

Yelp
Cute little place for very reasonable prices and decent food. Mainly chose to come here because they had mocktails (and the mocktails were reasonably priced). It has a pretty laid back vibe--not quite a cafe but not quite a nice sit down restaurant. My one mocktail complaint is that the drink was 80% ice which is frustrating because you pay $10 and there's barely any drink in it. But it was really yummy and more than just a lemonade or a seltzer with some added flavor. Not sure I would come back, but think it's a solid option and nice to try!

Andres S.

Yelp
I discovered Ollie when I was browsing Yelp to find a bar/restaurant one evening and decided to give it a try due to the extremely high ratings. So happy I did! It's now become one of my favorite drink spots in the city. Ollie is a drink-focused restaurant with Miami vibes and an airy, laid back vibe. The drinks are extremely high quality/tasty and the menu changes a little every season. I have tried at like five or six different one and I've loved every single one of them. However, important to note that they have very different flavor profiles so make sure to look at the ingredients before you order! The food menu is somewhat limited and consists mainly of small bites/sandwiches. Not the best food I've ever had but pretty tasty and does the job.

Albert K.

Yelp
Great cocktails. The bartenders were extremely nice, the drinks were well mixed, and we had our martinis redone. There is enough seating for 25 people or so. I noticed that people here don't stand, which is a plus, so it does not get overly crowded. Note that they do last call early - I recall it being around midnight, which is surprising on a Thursday. Also, the bar is a bit short staffed. We had a great experience, but I could see others were a bit frustrated with 1-2 bartenders making 20 drinks at once. Gladly will visit again.

Taylor P.

New bar opened in west village Amazing cocktails and they had warm specials including irish coffee and hot cider The cocktails were all delicious and unique Outdoor seating to abide covid restrictions had standing heating lamps to keep you warm The service was incredible. I will definitely be coming back!

Yelp
Great drinks in a large open space. I wish the place had more of a "vibe" though because there wasn't much decor and there was a lot of open space in between the tables and the bar. A little in the middle of no where bar wise, but we were able to get a reservation for a large group easily.

Ang M.

Yelp
This place is way too good. Cocktails are amazing. Try the BLVD... peanut butter bourbon?? Say what. It's playful but delicious. Don't. I repeat don't go there and not get the Pao de Queijo. It's insanely good little bread bites with cheese and honey. We sat outside due to COVID. It was pretty chilly but they have two space heaters which helped. The waitress was helpful and unpretentious. Will be back to this place for sure.

Sabina S.

Yelp
PHENOMENAL cocktail spot! Made a reservation for Valentine's Day pre-dinner. They have an adorable patio with heaters and bistro lights and the inside looks beautiful with tables socially distanced. We ordered 4 cocktails and absolutely loved all of them. The drinks are super well balanced and very unique! You can tell the owner and bartender thoughtfully puts together ingredients. My favorite was this beet juice based drink with smoky mezcal and ginger - the #5. You also cannot go wrong with the #7. They also make a mean spin on an espresso martini (#6) - it tasted incredible with its cacao forward nature! And they are currently serving a drink made with in house peanut butter washed bourbon (BLVD) that was also delicious. Cocktails at most places are overly sweet, but here they marry flavors perfectly. To line our stomachs we also had the vegan mushroom tacos, which were delightful! Great to see that they accommodate vegans . Will have to try the grain bowl next! Our waitress, Akyla (sp?), was so warm, welcoming, and spot on with her recommendations! Can't wait to come back here to try more of the drinks!

Really good cocktails. No pretension--just a cool space, really well thought out drinks and friendly service.

Came here randomly here just now for a casual drink by myself for a Friday night. I would say bartenders are knowledgeable and take pride in making their drinks. Me being a old school martini guy I tried to stump them with a couple of orders. The first drink I ordered was a vesper. I asked if they could make it. To be honest most places cant make it because either they don't have Kinnel Lillet or Cocchi Americano or just straight up don't know how to make it. The first thing they said was "sure of course." I was skeptical at first but then was like okay let me watch how you make it. I watched and they did it right. Ice in the glass, gin, vodka and Cocchi Americano (even tho I like Kinnet Lillet). Taste wise I was very surprised. A little on the sweet side but regardless a well made cocktail. Would only say next time shaken not stirred, but who am I James Bond?!?! Overall I still loved it a 5/5 I had 2 dirty martinis afterwards. I can honestly say it was one of the better dirty martinis I have had. Most places in Manhattan that I have been to either put too much olive brine or too much vodka. This had the perfect balance and was delicious. 5/5 for sure. I came here by accident and I can thoroughly say I am glad I stumbled into here by accident. If you're ever in the neighborhood, give them a try. Highly recommend.

I've been here twice in the last month with stellar experiences . A no frills, proper cocktail bar with tasty, craft spirit with something for everyone . Personable service and a large outdoors space . A must if you love a good cocktail

I'm going to be honest: I don't want to reveal my secret new favorite cocktail spot in the area and have to deal with waiting for the table, but my time at Ollie's was so wonderful I feel like it would be an injustice to not spread the word. My friends and I came here around 7PMish for mellow Friday night drinks and despite a lovely outdoor dining setup with a few tables there was no wait!! Tis an absolute joy in this day and age of NYC outdoor dining to be able to get a table. The menu is split between numbered cocktails that they rotate through and a few standard ones. Amongst my group we sampled most of the menu, but the crowd favorite and my personal recommendation was Cocktail No. 1: a sweet, gin-raspberry cocktail that was balanced and just straight up tasty. 10/10 or 5 stars in yelp terminology.

Grace Y.

Yelp
Came here with a couple friends and really enjoyed it! All the drinks that we had were really good, and they have some interesting new takes on traditional dishes. They serve their pao de queijo with honey and scallion cream cheese, and their tuna crudo with pine nuts. The servers were very nice! Interior is nice enough but nothing special. You can't tell from their website but you can make a reservation on Resy.
