Winnie Said

I felt compelled to share my experience in this review, particularly due to the unusual ambience that contrasts sharply with the overall charm of the establishment. During my visit tonight, I found the music to be overwhelmingly loud, which detracted from the inviting atmosphere that this place is known for base on my previous visits. It’s disheartening to think that such a fantastic venue might compromise its appeal. Patrons come here not just for the delicious food and excellent selection of craft beers, but also to enjoy a relaxed environment not unlike a cozy pub, rather than a bustling nightclub. I sincerely hope management considers adjusting the volume to preserve the wonderful vibe that makes this place so special.

This place is awesome! Definitely unexpectedly fun place to hang! The cocktails were great! Food was yummy! The vibe is perfect! Definitely check them out!!

This place is fantastic! With all due respect to its predecessor Grill on the Hill, this location was in desperate need of some love and the owners Jared and Vanessa have done an outstanding job. Fun, homey cabin decor, delicious and fresh food, excellent cocktails and draft list, and the owners themselves are very hands on and very welcoming. We live in the neighborhood and will be hanging here a lot! :)

I always come here for the lemon pepper wings, which are phenomenal! I love Ray the bartender he is literally the best here. Go ask for him ! He’s great and make the best drinks!

I’ve been here quite a few times over the past few months and each time the staff has been very kind and helpful! The food is always good (the olive appetizer is a MUST) and the drinks amazing. Even when they’re busy, staff stay on top of their game. I brought my dad a couple weeks ago and he loves that they have multiple ciders on tap! The atmosphere is so cozy and I love the raccoons everywhere!!

Best restaurant in Harlem. Food is delish, ambience amazing, drinks to die for try the Bivvy or the Oh My darling and you will remember me ❤️ Mac and cheese to die for, burger or Winnie smash and the steak frites ❤️❤️❤️❤️ service was beyond all expectations I had. Will be definetely coming back. Great place for families and singles as well❤️

I visited Winnie’s for the first time last week and it quickly became one of my all time favorite NYC bars. The atmosphere is fabulous and like nothing else I've seen in the city, but our bartender Shaunagh took the experience to a whole other level. She is so delightful, serving up the most insane cocktails - perfectly balanced, fresh, crisp, uniquely delicious, and gorgeous too! We also came famished and ordered a ton of food. My fiancé is gluten free and was thrilled to see all the options he hand on the menu. Everything was a 10/10. Thank you Shaunagh and team! I’ll be dreaming about those cocktails, elote dip, and smashburgers until next time! We cannot wait to come back!!

This place is beautiful. An absolutely cozy and relaxing space. It is the perfect place to unwind. The drinks are so unique and delicious. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The food is great. I highly recommend the Cesar salad, the Winnie smash, and the wings for food. For cocktails, that smores espresso martini is a MUST, as well as the ‘ trippin balls’ and the ‘oh my darwlin’. Definitely my new favorite spot in Harlem!

What a great new neighborhood gem! My friend and I stopped in for lunch and once we saw there was happy hour from 11am-7pm - it quickly turned to a boozy lunch. They also have food specials from 11am-4pm. I started off with the s'mores espresso martini (not on HH) bc it sounded too good & WAS! My friend opted for a Guava mimosa. Ray was a wonderful bartender and we really enjoyed our time with him. Drinks and recommendations were on point. We then moved to margaritas ($8 on HH) they were very good and as I always love to point out I am a margarita connoisseur. For food we did buffalo and lemon pepper WHET. I enjoyed both with the house made ranch. My friend thought they were just ok. The smash burger was EXCELLENT. Even the fries are the good psoriasis kind lol. Love the cozy vibe in there as well. It's giving cabin upstate.

Let me tell you what Winnie Said... We ordered a few cocktails, Trippin Balls, The Bivvy, and Morning Wood. The cesar salad was classic, nothing to rave about. The burger was delicious, perfect comfort food! The wings were juicy and butter and so much flavor. The ambiance is so cozy and cute! Like a cabin vibe. The music was also really good this night lol. I highly recommend. A great upgrade in the neighborhood for a chill night out!

Soft Opening!!! Woot Woot!!! I had to come and support a new local businesses love having a place walking distance from home. Two things that are a bonus and we will return- Jack Daniels and Cider Beers. So far so good. I will follow with an update. Cheers!

My husband and I decided to go to Winnie said for a low key anniversary date. Winnie's did not disappoint! I love a dim light setting. It is huge space there's a front room and then a back space. It was busy and bustling on that Friday evening. The servers were nice and attentive. The Winnie smash burger was BOMB! It's all i can think about lol. It came out hot, fresh and delicious. The fries were crispy. I had an espresso martini that was a play on s'mores. Delightful. Winnie said is my new favorite bar in the area. Reasonably priced and if you go to happy hour you'll get a deal on food and drinks. Definitely a great spot to go on a date or with your friends.

Checked out Winnie's on Saturday night and as someone that once visited the old establishment here, to call this spot a glow-up would be a complete understatement. Wont go into drinks as all I had was Montauk on draft (which is a major plus) but I'll speak on the food. We tried four things off the menu. The elote with pork rinds, the popcorn chicken, the buffalo wings and the smashed burger (not in the picture) and every single one of them HIT. Wings were crispy and perfectly cooked, popcorn chicken was hella tasty with the aioli dipping sauce, double smash burger and fries were perfect but the star in my mind was the cheesy elote and pork rinds. It's not something you'll find on a menu too often but when it's done right, like this, it's an automatic order. Very much looking forward to going back to Winnie's and trying more food, as well as diving into their vast beverage selection.

I had high hopes for this place since it was recommended by friends. The ambiance is great. The food and service not so great. The bartender wasn't knowledgeable of the drinks at all! I ordered a seltzer and he gave me the wrong drink three times then gave my friend the wrong drink. They need to properly train their staff on their products. We ordered a few food dishes to share asked for app first and everything came at once. We ordered buffalo wings, which were not buffalo wings. They had a weird cumin taste in the sauce. Disgusting! We couldn't eat them because buffalo wings don't have cumin! They should call the sauce something else, so misleading. Especially for people with allergies. Lastly the bartender took away the full plate of wings after we told him and who we think was the manager, who also debated us on the wings, how bad the wings were. They never took them off the bill. I've been working in the industry for over 20years and grew up in restaurants. And I never write bad reviews but this place needs to listen to the negative feedback and make proper changes, if they want to stay open. If the wings were taken off and if the person who was acting like a manager didn't sit there and argue with us about the weird tasting wings. Then I probably wouldn't have written this review. But the restaurant definitely didn't handle the issue properly at all.

I love this new spot uptown and I will absolutely be back. I hope to make this a regular spot. I had the s'more espresso martini which was a fun take on a popular cocktail. The food was great. I was also so excited to see they hade Great Lakes Brewery's Christmas Ale on tap! Fun vibes. It feels like being in a slightly irreverent cabin upstate. The servers are friendly too.

I came here on a Thursday night to try this place. First this place is quite beautiful and I would definitely come back. They recently opened and they are playing around with the menu so my review will be updated. I went with a friend and we order two drinks each an appetizer and shared a meal. First the two drinks I ordered were the marshmallow espresso drink and a cinnamon drink. The drinks were ok; the marshmallow coffee drink would have done better if they would have had a smaller marshmallow or more of a toasted version of the marshmallow. The cinnamon drink was ok but I don't remember it so that means; I would not get it again. I enjoyed my friend drink he had a mescal with hibiscus and I thought his drink was quite good. We ordered the pork rinds which were quite tasty and the dipping sauce they came with was delicious and I would hope they use that on more dishes. We also ordered the chicken sandwich and that was ok. The chicken was overcooked and it needed more of a sauce. I would recommend they try to incorporate the dipping sauce of the pork rinds to the chicken sandwich. I did see someone order a cheeseburger and it looked really good. I know I went very soon after they opened so I would definitely go again. I know they were working out some kinks and it can only get better. The space is lovely and the manager Vanessa is amazing and very friendly. She really cares and welcome all feedback.

The wings were fried too hard but everything else was excellent. Great burger. Outstanding service. Decor, C for the front part of the restaurant--it's unclear what it's giving. The back area is like a cozy cabin, A-.

Very cute cozy spot in Harlem food and drinks were also good! Our server Juliette was amazing! Will definitely be back!

Cozy, welcoming and exciting atmosphere with the best staff. Food and drink menus are thought out and well executed. Both the front and back rooms are such a vibe. Back room is ideal for a private party! I want to come back everyday!!!! 10/10 must go!

Fun bar with chill vibes and delish food. Hugeee back room for events and parties. (I want them to add a pool table lol) and tons of tv's for watching men in tights

Winnie Said...but let me tell you! The staff at Winnie's is amazing, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The pride and comfort in the staff make it hard to distinguish who is the owner versus the server. The food is elevated and approachable. The description of cocktails matches the execution to the T. Winnie's is comfortable, laid back, and has a sexy ambiance with an amazing soundtrack. It's my go-to place uptown.

The vibes are AWESOME the staff are SOOO NICE. And the food and drinks are reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Also i'm a college student and i like to come in during the day to study in the back room. It's just absolutely incredible im so glad this spot opened up

Best burger I've had in a long time -- double patty, good sauce, good brioche bun and crispy fries! Drinks were good, had loudish music but totally able to carry a conversation, and I liked that there were two separate areas. Lots of space and well used. Seriously the burger was really good.

Wow wow wow , amazing vibe cold beer what more can I say the bartenders took great care of us , shout out the kitchen staff for hooking it up lobster rolls going crazy. Great attention to detail and a great addition to the hood.

Glad to have a new bar in the neighborhood! Great drinks and food, and a really cozy interior

Simply put ask for Shawna she makes the best Old Fashion in Harlem :) . Good vibes here cool people, you'll like it.

great food, fun place to watch some sports and have a couple beers. absolutely will be coming back as frequently as i can. just need to not drink so much next time cuz this place is a trap. never wanna leave
