The Winslow

Awesome spot! Great cocktails and super friendly staff in a cool, cozy spot. I had my 27^th birthday here, and I blocked off space for about 50 people. They were so attentive and helpful! Everyone kept telling me how awesome it was and how much fun they were having! Highly recommend going!

Came here last night for a friend’s birthday. It was busy and bustling but we had an exceptional waitress, Naomi. She was very attentive and made you feel like she wasn’t super busy which she was! My boyfriend really enjoyed the gin. The food was excellent as well. My boyfriend said it was one of the best burgers he’s had in a long time. The fries were crispy and I recommend the bacon Brussels sprouts too! When I could hear the music, I liked it. I don’t go to bars often but I would come back for the service and food alone.

Really nice gin bar with friendly staff and delicious food! They have a really great cocktail menu the «damn dirty ape» and the «Jessica rabbit» are particularly delicious. Great place for parties too

Had our staff party here on Monday. Good vibes, awesome staff, definitely will be back !!!

I’m indifferent on The Winslow. The Winslow burger was good, just really messy. The prices were okay, but my beer was warm. The only problem was that it was so loud that I couldn’t hear my friends across the table. Maybe that’s my fault for going on a Friday, but still.

Nice enough neighborhood bar. Big space. Busy for a Saturday brunch but no waiting. Bartender was friendly and professional. Maybe 16 beers on tap — mostly craft brands.
I had a G&T. Pick your brand of gin and pick your brand of tonic. Fancy tonics like FeverTree are $ 2.00 extra. My drink came with a garnish of rosemary, lime and juniper berries. Nicely done.
Happy Hour prices 4 – 7 PM.
There were at least 14 brands of gin behind the bar. They have gin tastings (most) Tuesdays at 7:00 PM. I will have to attend.

Stopped here for a drink. The Jessica Rabbit drink is great, but wouldn’t recommend this place to people that don’t like gin. Loved the atmosphere, but the service was horrendous. Reason I’m giving this place 3 stars is because the waitress paid no attention to us. But, I’ll come back here for the drink in the future!

I love this place for a quiet, intimate drink on a weekday. The bartender makes the best Negroni around the area – large ice cubes!
However, weekend nights can get pretty crazy. Not my favorite, but I’m not into the loud music and drunk scene.

The Winslow is one of my most favorite bars in the city. The first time I went, I fell in love with their gin cocktails — specifically the Hendricks Gin with cucumber and rose petals (YUM). I also loved that the bar had a laid back atmosphere while still being classy, not pretentious, and not divey.
I decided to have my birthday party there this past September. I called the bar and spoke with Aiden who was the nicest human ever. He was so accommodating in terms of tables, party size, everything. He followed up with me a few days before my party to confirm the reservation and let me know that he wouldn’t be there — but Kieran would, and he was filled in on everything.
When I arrived for my party, Kieran (who, it turns out, is also the nicest human) led my group right to our table and made sure we were all set with drinks. I also ordered food for the table — Thai wings (SO GOOD), pickles, cheese plate, some other things that I can’t remember but it was all delicious. It was a great night, and all of my friends had a great time.
Between the atmosphere, the great drinks and food, and the amazing staff, this bar is very very high up on my list.

Last month, I needed a boozy brunch that I had never previously visited for my boyfriend’s birthday. A friend pointed me to the Winslow and i was very happy he did. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even when we spilled a glass of water (before the boozing even happened btw), they were fun and made jokes with us about it. Located on 14^th street, I was shocked that on a late Sunday, there were no NYU kids destroying the place. Instead there was a few low key tables scattered around the restaurant. It was pretty comfortable especially since they seated people facing the football games in the back area.
We started our meal with an order of scotch eggs for the table to share, which I found very tasty. The egg was cooked very nicely especially with the fried crispy outer layer of sausage. The sauce was a nice touch. Slight herbed mayo to bring it all together. For the entrees we got a burger and fries and chicken and waffles. The burger was huge and tasty. The fries were cooked well. I got the chicken and waffles which was prepared well but be warned that the chicken is all dark meat. If you like it, i highly suggest it. Well seasoned and crisp. I want to also mention that the unlimited brunch is for mimosa only. They offer other cocktails if you do not want to get unlimited or would like to be charged extra for other drinks. Service was a little slow on the mimosas. They were not super busy but I think they were just pacing us. Not my favorite thing for a server to do but understandable I guess.

So I don’t usually write reviews, but I have to give The Winslow 5 stars for going above and beyond for my boyfriend’s surprise 30^th birthday party.
After contacting several bar venues with a variety of different fees and restrictions, I came across The Winslow on my Unilocal search and decided to give them a try – I’m so glad I did!
I was able to book the back room for no fee, and the bar minimum of $ 500 was extremely easy to meet (they have a great selection of drinks and the bartenders make the cocktails really well).
I worked closely with the manager, Kieran, and he was so helpful and accommodating. Not only did he allow me to come early to decorate and personally greeted me, he was very flexible with how to handle the bill, and allowed my to bring a cake and another dessert.
I also ordered a few appetizer platters that we really well done, and very reasonable for the price. And our server was extremely attentive and helpful in keeping the drinks fresh and the food coming.
The back room was the perfect size for our part (about 25 people). It is semi-​private, with our own tables/​chairs and partially enclosed by windowed walls. I was a little skeptical, but it actually turned out to be perfect, since people could mingle in the room, but there was also a natural transition to the rest of the bar.
My boyfriend is extremely hard to surprise and is not a loud pub kind of guy, but he was so happy with the party, and really enjoyed himself. The location of the room made him walk to the back of the bar before he saw everyone, and the music and sound level were just right where you could talk and mingle without shouting. Also, even though this is a pub, it doesn’t feel like a typical «sports bar.» It has a warm, homey feeling to it… not bro-​ish.
It was more than I could have asked for, and I am so appreciative to Kieran and the entire staff for making it such a great night!
I would recommend this bar to anyone looking for a party venue, or even just a quick drink!
Cheers!

Perfect bar to sit and have a drink, it’s got a really nice vibe on the inside, trendy, not too loud music, good places to sit, and the drinks aren’t overly expensive.
Most opted for the gin drinks, this place is heavily focused on gin, I got the beer ($ 7) Firestone IPA on draft.
Would definitely recommend this for a swanky place to go with friends or low key ~drinks~ date.
On a friday at around 5pm it was about half filled, so plenty of places to sit.

I used to live nearby and this was a favorite neighborhood spot to grab drinks or brunch. Friendly Irish staff and solid beer choices. Strongly recommend.

Dropped by for drinks with a group of friends this past Saturday and had a blast. They have lovely servers who immediately greet you when you walk through the door and are very helpful if you can’t decide on which drink to have. I went with the Mary Pickford since I’m a bit of lightweight.
My one complaint is the noise level, but that’s not something under the bar’s control. It’s a very big place that attracts large groups 20-​somethings. At a certain point we had to leave because it was getting way too loud and we were tired of yelling at each other.
Will be back, but maybe a little early to avoid the loud groups that file in and out.

Clearly I am obsessed with big cities and all the awesome joints they have to offer.
I had never been to a gin bar before Winslow and was completely in heaven with their selection. I’ve been a huge gin fan for a few years now and can tell you this place has an abundance to choose from. Hailing from SF-​my go to is the St. George from Mt. Tam is my absolute favorite. It tastes just like nature, and if you know me, anything with a herbal overtone is sure to please my buds. If you don’t already know, Gin was used as a medicinal waaay back. So, of course, I opted for the one with St. George and Sage. WOW. It tasted like a forest in my mouth. I guess I’m that much of a naturalist.
We also ordered some food-​the usual, burgers, mac and cheese, and a pile full of fries. What I absolutely loved was the Brioche bun :)
I would come back for drinks if you’re looking for a low key vibe.

Threw my girlfriend’s birthday party here. We reserved a table a couple of weeks in advance and it was more than fine. We had around 25 people but definitely did not need the back room – there was plenty of standing room near and around the table. It was crowded but not crazy crowded so you couldn’t move around – really a perfect balance. The staff was very good and attentive and even surprised the birthday girl with a dessert and sparkler. The DJ was also very good (he goes on around 10:15 on Saturdays). Finally, the drinks (especially the gin and tonic) were great and the beer menu is extensive. The only thing I had that I didn’t enjoy was the pisco drink but maybe that’s just how pisco tastes.
Overall, we had a great time and I would definitely return!

It’s a good gin bar — something that’s not all too common. There’s a rugby theme to it. So basically I feel right at home.
The drink menu consists of a varietal of gin and tonics and craft cocktails. My favorite drink here has to be the Jessica Rabbit (the lavender bitters are awesome). There hasn’t been a drink that I didn’t like at The Winslow. They do put a lot of thought and care into their cocktails.
Live music happens on some nights which adds to the chill vibe of this bar. The signage out front never fails to entertain. It’s also a great date spot but chilling with a few good friends is good too.
4 stars, solid. 5 stars during a dope rugby game.

Turns out this isn’t a sports bar. Their Sunday special was five cans of beer for $ 25. They have all the games on but literally nobody reacted during any of the big plays.
Can’t hold it against them I guess, seemed fine inside even though we didn’t eat. Lesson learned: get to the actual bars before they get overcrowded.

Unicorns; they’re like unpretentious Manhattan establishments with a private section, well made cocktails, and a fun party vibe that doesn’t attract a douchey crowd. They just don’t exist.
That’s until you stop by The Winslow. My new favorite unicorn. The Winslow provided me with everything I could have wanted for my most recent birthday party.
Planning a birthday party could be tricky. I don’t like really loud places, I like to secure a section for my group, and I enjoy a proper drink. I feel that no one place has all of the qualifications.
I reserved the private area, which is open, in the back. Nice spot, a couple of tables with benches. A couple of comfy chairs, and several stools. They said it could hold 35 people, I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. You can easily have 20 at a time in there. My party stayed in the back area, within the room and a bit outside of it.
The music could be lowered in our section, which we did, so we could hear ourselves. The music was still pumping elsewhere and didn’t distort anyone’s ability to have a good time. The place also have us the ability to bring out a birthday cake and helped setup.
Our server was very friendly and did a good job of keeping up with everyone’s order. There were lots of people and they had no issue of taking multiple cards. That was clutch. The place itself makes fantastic cocktails, mostly gin based. It’s important to me to drink something besides just shots and beer. Mixed well drinks are not my thing.
I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much to The Winslow, their great staff, and to everyone who showed up for a wonderful night out.

Fun! & service is
Came for drinks with a friend to watch the draft last week and it was packed, but with a good crowd (20s and 30s professional). They have TVs all over the place and make viewing easy. To get a seat at the bar you should get there early, but there are plenty of other tables inside and outside — only thing is you might have to sacrifice a view of whatever sporting event is going on.
I got the Bee’s Knees based on other Unilocaler’s reviews and photos, and the elderflower drink… Forgot the name of that one. Both were great. Ask your server for recommendations if you don’t know what to get. Ours was very knowledgeable!
Cocktail list is lengthy with lots of fun options. Not too pricey either. Will definitely be back!
