Ten Degrees Bar

Great music, perfect lighting and great drinks. I’ve been here more than a couple times for their ²⁄₁ drink specials. The mojitos are awesome and would totally recommend them. Happy hour is from 12 – 8 but get there early because the place gets packed.
Usually I go here for drinks first and then head out in the east village for dinner. There’s a ton of awesome places around the corner to grab a bite.

Buy one get one Happy Hour Special from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. seven days per week. I think the review can end right here. *Mic drop*.
*Picks mic back up.*
Food: the pasta here was so good! I couldn’t believe it, it was like a party in my mouth! I did not expect good food from this place, honestly.
Drinks: I ordered the by one get one Sangria multiple times. I don’t know how much Sangria I had, but it was probably a bit much because I had a headache afterwards. Note to self: drink lots of water!
Décor: the venue is really small. Probably isn’t a great place for a reservation of more than ten people. The area around this place is a bit odd, it feels like it’s stuck between a terrible part of town and a wealthy part of town. Surreal.
Service: extremely responsive and friendly. The waitress also allowed all of us to have separate tabs! Very nice of her to do that.

Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend the pulled pork sliders and the brussels sprouts.

I am currently drinking a jalapeño margarita here and it is changing my life! Ryan is the best bartender I’ve had in a long time! Bring your friends here! It’s a great place! Also, their wine list is amazing! This place kicks ass!

Great customer service. Will fill your drinks up if you are close to the end of happy hour. I’m happy I stumbled across this spot.

Oh man one of the best happy hour places even when it’s not happy hour! Great drinks and atmosphere! Highly recommended
GO 2−4−1 GO!

Great bar. It was packed and luckily my group got a table when we came in. A little dark. We ordered wine, drinks, and a charcuterie plate. The drinks came right away but we had to wait for the charcuterie plate to be remade because some rude customer knocked into the server as she was delivering it to us. She handled the situation with poise and composure. My friends and I are in the foodservice industry so we sympathized — we’ve all been there. If you hang out on the floor, its a clubby vibe. If you sit down, you’ll get a more intimate atmosphere. In the very back, there was a library type room where everyone was flirting. It was like 3D Tinder. Great bar. Will come back.

Happy hour rocks here! 2−4−1 aka buy one get one free drink! While walking down the street I saw a ton of bars but this one was the most crowded. I had the rosè sangria and Moscow mule. Both were great!
The music went from 90s music to drake real fast. 0 to 100 real quick.

I actually really enjoyed my experience here. The thing that stuck out to me was their amazing happy hour special till 8PM, which is 2−4−1 on everything! They have such a wide selection too, from wines to fancy cocktails, so what a deal.
Because of their fantastic happy hour special, expect the place to be PACKED. The first time coming here, my friend and I had to leave because their was no where to sit. It’s a long space, so it’s hard to move around with a ton of people their for happy hour.
I went back again with that same friend, and even though we missed happy hour, we at least got a table.
PRO: Great happy hour special. Probably the best in East Village. Loved the atmosphere of this place, very intimate and cozy with candle lighting. They had a pretty great selection of wines, cocktails, and liquor drinks. A little on the pricey side, but if you’re able to make happy hour, you’ll get a fantastic deal.
CON: The place was so packed, it was hard to even move. Even when my friend and I were able to get a table, It was very loud that we felt like we had to yell over everyone else just to have a conversation.
TIP: If you want to make happy hour, get here earlier than 7. That’s when it gets crowded.

Nice bar with friendly service and good selection of drinks and food.
The best time to go there is afternoon. The happy hour is 12 to 6. In the evening the place gets really crowded and the music so loud that any conversation becomes impossible.

My favorite bar in NYC… Ryan is the best bartender he makes the BEST DRINKS that I’ve ever tried in my life… Nice atmosphere, good music, awesome people. Highly recommend

Ten Degrees is my FAVORITE bar in East Village! The ambiance is so comforting and cozy. This place is a definite date bar; and it’s not just me that thinks this way, every other individual was paired with someone else.
Obviously come here during HH, (12−8pm). BUT (!!) heres the con: its buy one get one PER PERSON.
Came here with a friend, and we assumed she was getting my free drink. But it was 2 for 1, per customer. So unfortunately we weren’t able to finish our drinks.
Even though it was HH, Ten degrees does not skimp out on the alcohol and they serve high quality drinks too.
Love this place!

This place has happy hour from open till 8pm. And it’s 2−4−1 on everything. I have spent many an afternoon here at the bar alone reading, doing work, or just relaxing. If you like a quit atmosphere to drink some great cocktails then go before 5. If you want an after work happy hour spot with a lot of people around you, then go after 5. I prefer it before 5 always!
It has the look and feel of a classy cocktail bar but actually super casual.

great wine selection and a surprisingly green set of food options, but a serious crowd management problem. I get turning new parties away at the door because it’s too crowded (and we who were inside definitely appreciate that) but if, once the crowds have dispersed thirty minutes later and there are spots at the bar, you won’t let one individual in to come join the group of 3 already inside, then that docks points. Significantly.
the friend, trying to join us inside, was merely asking a clarification, as she could see inside that there was still space. there was no need for the unprofessionalism

HH special is buy one get one free from 12pm-​8pm daily.
A glass of wine would run you $ 9, but you would get one free during the HH time frame, making it about $ 10ish for two glasses of wine. I came here during prime happy hour time and the place was packed. Luckily they have a room in the back where, if you are lucky, you can chat with friends at a more moderate noise level, given that you’re lucky enough to secure the sofa/​seating spots there.

Threw a surprise birthday party and had a great time at Ten Degrees.
Pros:
* There is 2−4−1 cocktail happy hour daily until 8PM (including weekends).
* We secured the private room for about 40 people in the back of the gastropub. The room is truly private, spacious (capacity 50 guests), clean, and had 2 private bathrooms (a rarity!). There are comfortable sofas, small side chairs and tables as well. The furniture could also be stored away for more guests.
* Allow your own decorations. They had even brought in a lighted Christmas tree for the festivities.
* Cash bar and individual tabs.
* Could play your own music (to be specific, you must bring your own 3.5mm to RCA Auxiliary Cable Cord) or they hire a DJ for you. The sound is good but doesn’t get too loud.
* Excellent service, our server (name: EB «American Idol» LOL) was friendly and attentive. The owner Moti was also quick to respond to our questions and emails.
* Left out carafes of water for self-​service.
* They provide party platters which you can order beforehand (can access on
). We didn’t do this, but I enjoyed the delicious Grilled Cheese and Penne Pasta.
Cons:
* No dessert menu. If you bring your own cake they charge a service fee of $ 3/​person :(Don’t try to persuade them that you can bring your own cake and supplies, as they are pretty strict about this.
Tips:
* Room available with 25 guests minimum requirement from 7−10pm with a $ 700 minimum spend for this time slot or 10.30pm & on with 30 guests minimum requirement & a $ 1000 minimum spend. To secure the room, you only have to fill out a guarantee against cancellations or no shows as well as your minimum spend.
Highly recommend for a private party! Thanks Moti and EB!

Oh my, this place turns into a packed, wall to wall nightclub after 9! There was a bouncer at the door, it was pitch black inside and so loud.
This used to be a winebar… Right?

I’ve never not had a good time here. That could be my review right there. But double negatives hurt my Grammar Police roots so I’ll elaborate on that.
Ten Degrees Bar is just good people. Not sure if it’s the layout, the music, the severs, the general ambiance or what, but this place is all things down to earth. Upon walking in, you’re immediately greeted with the small bar area as well as scattered seating. Typically, this area is the most crowded so can initially be overwhelming. My advice? Wait it out. Or just embrace it and mingle! I don’t find this place to be at all cliquey — the crowd is typically friendly and happy to circulate. I find that in a lot of LES/​East Village bars/​just bars in general, mingling can be quite difficult despite the high volume of people who come in and out because everyone is already with their designated group. I just don’t get the vibe here.
Proceeding to the back of the establishment, you’ll find two long rows of tables lining the walls up until the private room in back. These spots are fantastic if you’re looking to have a few drinks with a small group of friends. I’ve done this twice during happy hour (more on that below) and it’s been a fantastic time. Servers come by often, drinks are a-​flowin’ and positive energy runneth over.
Before I get to the private room, I need to do my due diligence and mention the happy hour special. As plenty of reviewers before me have mentioned, Ten Degrees does happy hour EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. THIS IS BRILLIANT. All caps over. The first time I came here was on a Saturday around 7:30. A server came over quickly to inform us that ALL drinks (okay, I lied, still some caps lock) were two-​for-​one. This includes beer, wine, and a comprehensive list of classic cocktails (Moscow Mules, Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Rye and Gingers, Margaritas, Mint Juleps, etc. etc.). Happy hour (I repeat: seven days a week) ends at 8pm, so as long as you order your first drink before 8, the second drink will be free! TIP: Be sure to tell your server if you’d like something different for your second drink. If you don’t, you run the risk of being brought the same thing, which seems far too boring for a novelty-​seeker like me. Still, two-​for-​one!
Lastly I just want to speak to the private room in back. Not sure what’s entailed in renting it out, but it’s a great time. I dropped by a friend’s Halloween party here this past weekend and it was simply awesome. Okay, maybe not awe-​some, but I’m a fan. The room is spacious — plenty of standing room as well as a number of comfy couches — great chatting, dancing… whatever suits your fancy. On this particular night, there was candy strewn across every table (so many chocolate noms!) and those who opted for the couch were in prime position for munching. I can only speak to this one party, but a waitress would come by fairly frequently to take drink orders here — no need to go to the bar up front. Would highly highly recommend for a medium-​sized get-​together.

Because you just can’t have one…
This place forces you to have 2 drinks during their 2 for 1 Happy Hour weekdays til 8pm. I guess you could forego the second drink, but c’mon, it’s free. Pure genius and a great deal!
I was here last Tuesday with some friends for my Birthday Happy Hour. There was a steady flow of people, great music, and drinks at this establishment. We decided to hang in the bar area rather than get a table in the back so we could interact with the other bar peeps. This place is a great place for dates too as we encountered several here on OKC first dates. When I looked at my photos from that night the next day, I noticed several photobombers in the pics. Love it!
I had the skirt steak sliders which were super juicy and flavorful. I had a few margaritas, red red wine, and also a birthday cake shot (thanks Ryan).
My friends and I had a great time. I found this place by scrolling through Unilocal a week before and it’s nice to know that everyone was right about this place… It’s solid. Thanks Unilocal!Ryan was at the bar and always made sure he had our second drink ready right as we were finishing our first one. My friends and I will definitely be back.

The boyfriend and I have wanted to spend our night at Ten Degrees for the longest time. They have happy hour daily from 12−8pm, which is get 2 drinks for the price of 1 — that’s probably the best bargain I’ve ever encountered.
The place is very spacious; they even have a back room. The waitresses are very on-​point here; they get you your drink in less than 5 minutes and it’s legit. Just because it’s happy hour, they don’t skimp on the alcohol, just sayin’. Delicious drinks, nice vibe and the meat and cheese platter is such a bargain. So much food that can last you through the nice with endless amount of drinks.
The front of the place is great for socializing with lounge chairs and seats by the bar. Further in, you get a little more intimate with couches and high stools and tables. The farthest seating in the back room is more intimate with deep red lighting. I can see why Ten Degrees get so much positive ratings, I’m definitely a fan.
