Creative cocktails, oysters & tasty food in a relaxed setting
"The Deal: $10 half-dozen oysters; $18 dozen oysters; $7 oyster shooters; $12 burger and a beer; $8 fried oysters; $10 select cocktails; $4-$5 select beer; $9 select wine The Wayland is the ultimate all-purpose bar. You can use it for first dates, after-work hangs, and rowdy Saturday night drinking. But you should also be using it for weekday happy hour, when they serve a dozen oysters for $18 and have discounts on their excellent cocktails." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
"The Deal: $10 cocktails; $10 half-dozen oysters; $18 dozen oysters; $15 beer and a burger; $7 oyster shooters; $9 wine; $4-$5 beer The Wayland, located on Avenue C in Alphabet City, is your ideal neighborhood bar. It's good for dates, good for casual drinks with a small group, and good for happy hour. They make great cocktails, but they aren't uptight like those bars where you have to make a reservation or enter through a fake fridge door." - bryan kim, neha talreja
"Avenue C is filled with fun bars suited for everything from a nice date to being trashed at 2 am. The Wayland is one of those places that manages to do it all. We like it for a drink on a weeknight, day drinking on a Saturday, and for 2 am rowdiness as well." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"The Wayland is an East Village classic that we probably talk about too much. But if you’re looking for a well-made cocktail and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere, it’s one of your best options. It looks a little like an upstate cabin owned by a writer who’s married to an interior designer, and it’s exactly the sort of place you wish you had in your neighborhood." - bryan kim
"Your friend wants to check out St. Mark’s. You’d rather they punch you in the face. That’s when you mention The Wayland. It’s practically on St. Mark’s (Alphabet City, so close enough). Tell your friend to enjoy a kale margarita while you go to town on a pulled chicken sandwich." - bryan kim
