“ Large groups, no problem for James and Lisa. Not only did they take care of an order with lots of variety without skipping a beat, they were super helpful taking pics for us and finding a lost jacket. Would recommend the back room with a group and having them manning the bar. Thank you! ”
“ Super nice! Beautiful decoration. Affordable prices for a European during happy hour! Big plus for the cocktails. Very friendly service ”
“ Went for happy hour ....best I’ve seen in NYC. For 7 good drinks and tried many. Cool staff great interior. The happy hour food was really good too. ”
“ Great Happy Hour spot with cheap prices on food and drink. All the cocktails were tasty and strong. While the food portions were smaller, they were just enough for happy hour. The music was nice and the space was large and had an indoor outdoor vibe, that is just perfect for the summer. ”
“ Best happy hour in NYC! 7 cocktails and light bites. Great service, nice vibes and excellent cocktails. Love love love this bar! ”
“ 7 for a happy hour espresso martini is iconic. Quality espresso martinis too, not one of these watered down, low effort, danced on canned espresso martinis... Sorry a lot of descriptors there but they came from my soul. A reasonable happy hour from 4-7pm too. 7 at 6:59pm, 17 at 7:01pm. It really grinds my gears when places advertise a happy hour but it's from 4-6 M-F only... like I can't even physically make that. I guess I gotta go harder for financial freedom... I sat here at the Pretty Ricky's bar with my big homie, surrounded by Halloween decorations, ripping a couple 7 espresso martinis while just sitting there talking about life. Pretty Ricky's is doing inflation how Ilia Topuria did Max Holloway last night. Damn that hurt to even type. Tough to watch your heroes get sent to the shadow realm, but a 7 espresso martini helps take the pain away. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews ”
“ Finally, a place on the Lower East Side that has draft beer that isn't a dive! When I stepped into Ricky's, I was immediately greeted by Anthony who showed me to the bar where I was given a menu of the 20 beers they have on tap, plus other selections. The ambiance was calm and cool but not pretentious. It had an open atmosphere that still allowed for intimate conversation. The smaller area in the back allows for special gatherings without the interruption of the first room. The staff was very accommodating and friendly and paid attention to their customers. Special taps will be brought in allowing for an even more extended beer menu. Can't wait to return. Definitely on my "Go To" list when I visit New York! ”
“ Great spot. Good vibes music is good. Wish they had a dance floor but it’s more a hang out place which is cool in its own right ”
