I understand they are busy but what's the point of reservations for 1:00 when I leave at 3:30 with my group because we were never seated? Absolute bullshit. They even had the audacity to seat us and then tell us we had to get up because they had a bigger table in the back and after we get up we end up waiting for over half an hour. What? We just ended up leaving because they still hadn't sat us. Yeah I'm sure it's fun but the staff and management apparently have no idea what they're doing.
by Malcom Penny on Ok, look ... I can see how people want to trash on the clientele here. But really, I think that'd be narrow minded. Sure, the douche quotient is heavy. But we ran across ALL types in here, mixing in between the tables (once we were actually able to get dibs on TWO!). Even exchanged info w/ a few people and met up later ... so there are geniuenly friendly people about. Maybe it was just the weather ;) And for everyone bitching about the $35 buckets? It comes out to less than 6 bucks for a Corona. Point to whatever dive bar special you want, but that is not unusual for Manhattan. And it's certainly cheaper than anywhere else with this sort of view and vibe. There is NO better place to day drink and this still ranks up with any outdoor place with a view. Ok, in the summer anyway. I've heard they have DJs, but for whatever reason, I've never actually SEEN any. Oh, ok, ONE con (aside from the people who relish ripping on other people having a good time, as seen in other reviews) ... The bathrooms are fucking RANK. There is like ... water, piss, shit ... no idea, built up UNDER the floor boards. As in, you can literally see the brown swill just sitting there, stagnant, swaying a bit with the rest of the place. Someone needs to pump that shit out, STAT. Guys have to piss into basically what amounts to big ass rusty pipes turned into troughs. The toilet stalls are nicer, but still REEK. Having vented out about that, I'm no stranger to terrible smelling places with even worse bathrooms. They're old ass boats, what do you expect? Though I find it absolutely fucking hilarious that they have a foos-ball table setup outside of it on the one boat ... with a monster fan next to that, attempting to keep things ventilated. Like ANYONE is going to subject their noses to that shit long enough to skunk a bitch.
by Gwendolyn S. on For me, The Flip Burger Boutique did not live up to the hype. The burgers were decent, but not drop dead to the floor good. I tried the Knuckle Sandwich with a side of the tempura fried Butternut Squash fries and my husband had two burgers -- the crab burger and a regular flip beef burger with the lamb nuggets and we split the Krispy Kreme Milkshake. The burgers and milkshake were decent, but on the smallish side but the lamb nuggets were very good, but everything else paled in comparison to this. The service was fast and the wait was non-existant (we opted for the bar on a wet Wednesday night)
