Pinky Swear

What a great experience!! If you’re looking to break from the traditional this is the place! The food and drinks were original like donut crab cakes and drinks served out of a bong and Sundaes with potato chips. It was an experiment in food and drink I didn’t know I needed! My flavor palette was satisfied. We came with a group of ten to celebrate a birthday and the place was more than welcoming! With art on the wall (that I’m told changes monthly ) a DJ that played all the right stuff and actually nice staff and security it was fun from beginning to end .

THE MOST UNIQUE NEW SPACE HAS OPENED UP IN BOWERY AND IT’S PART RESTAURANT AND PART IMMERSIVE ART SPACE I guarantee you this place will be the craziest spot you’ve ever had dinner and drinks in! The inside is decked out with interesting art and there’s a dedicated space for installations. They also have a beautiful outdoor area that’s gonna blow up this summer. Get here for your next happy hour date, the deal is unreal for this area with one dollar oysters and $10 cocktails

Pinky Swear is just cool as hell. The vibe is intimate but alive, the drinks are top notch, and the people are super chill. One of those places you walk into and instantly feel like you’re in the right spot. Definitely a new favorite.

Obsessed with this new place Pinky Swear. It’s a bar that feels more like an interactive art gallery, and full of fun, creative little surprises everywhere you look. The drinks are delicious one came in a bong with sage burning, and the shots come in twos so you can pinky swear and take them with a friend. I tried the blue crab donuts which were super yummy and excited to try out the rest of the menu. I’ll definitely be coming back. Pinky promise.

I had my birthday party here in July, and let me just say, they really rolled out the red carpet for us. We had a private dinner that was spectacular. We loved all the fun entrees and desserts. I highly recommend the pastrami; truly some of the best brisket I’ve ever had. After, they closed off the back area for us, and the staff was so kind and attentive and made sure that the party stayed private with the list we gave them. Was really one of the best days ever and I really owe a lot to the Pinky Swear team for making it so special. Everyone loved the venue and we will all be back soon. Thanks so much Joel & Daniel.

Pinky Swear is one of those rare NYC spots that nails it on every level: food, service, and vibe. From the moment we sat down, our server (and bartender) CJ set the tone. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely fun. He even slipped us some free tokens to play around with the art exhibits, which made the whole night feel like an experience, not just a dinner. The food? Next level. The oysters were fresh and briny perfection. The tuna crudo was out of this world with silky texture and perfectly balanced flavors. And the burger... hands down the best my wife has had in the city. Bone marrow, cheese whiz, and an everything milk bun made it rich, decadent, and unforgettable. The way they presented the cheese whiz was genius and had us grinning like kids. We finished with dessert and it was just as impressive as the rest. Creative, indulgent, and a perfect ending to the meal. Pinky Swear does not just serve dinner. It gives you an evening you will be talking about for weeks. Already plotting our return.

This is a dinner experience rating, not late night club the restaurant turns into. Which, in hindsight, should have foreshadowed the meal experience. Restaurant week brought us here, as the search for unique, NY only restaurants meets its peak craze. Pinky Swear has fantastic marketing which shows off its "spray cheese" on burgers and one-of-kind artwork on the mirrors inspired my Picasso. The artwork and ambiance is one-of-a-kind, although it doesn't fit with the poor quality of food and service. Getting to the restaurant you can see through the marketing stunt, but props to their team for getting us in the door. In the 2 hour experience there was one appetizer order messed up, both burgers had hard, stale feeling buns, and we waited over 30 minutes trying to grab a server to get the check. For restaurant week, would highly recommend to focus on restaurants, and not hybrid clubs. Lesson learned.

Was visiting my friends in NYC and they took me here. SUCH a fun experience and I had a great time. Drinks here are delicious! We actually walked to a different bar right before this and the drinks were a huge let down, but Pinky Swear came to save the day. I got the Cloud 9 which was an espresso martini and it was soo good. The toasted marshmallow really topped it off. As for the ambiance and vibes, it was so cute and artsy. There seemed to be like 3-4 separate areas with varying aesthetics, but all of them blended well together. Very cute, I loved it. Service here was also awesome! Shout out to CJ for making our experience top notch!

Best new restaurant in the city. Food and drinks are delicious and the staff are super attentive and gracious!

This place is AMAZING and that's an understatement! The vibe is very cool and approachable. There is interactive art that added to our experience and had us all laughing with absolute delight!!!
