Hudson Hound

Able to enjoy their outdoor patio, short wait. Delicious cocktails, friendly staff ! Meant to order some of their appetizers but time didn’t permit. Definitely plan to return ! We stumbled upon this place in an effort to spend our bar hopping outdoors. Did not disappoint, thank you ! 4 stars since we didn’t try their food !

This is an extremely odd place. My friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday night. The bar and the restaurant area might as well be two completely different places. The menu is sort of British inspired pub food. My friends and I sat in the restaurant side of this establishment. When we got there at 6:30ish, there were a lot of families with young children there, but that changed as the night went on. There is a large drink menu and there were a couple of specials for 2 cocktails but that’s it. I ordered a Rose, which was alright but highly highly marked up (as restaurants do). Unfortunately, about an hour after eating dinner and having a glass of wine, I got a headache. Good wine this was not. There was nothing but sides on the menu for a vegetarian, so I ordered a few of those. However, the «daily market vegetable» ended up having bacon in it (even though that was not described to me when I asked). Everyone else I was with seemed fairly pleased with their choices so perhaps my experience was a one off.
When walking to the bathroom, I had to enter the bar and was greeted with a cacophony of totally wasted just out of college aged people of the finance variety from what I could tell. I took a step back into the more calm restaurant, then back into the loud bar, then back in the low key restaurant, then back into the outrageous bar scene that looked like it was a choreographed scene from a movie. It was such an odd juxtaposition.
I wasn’t super impressed with this place and probably wouldn’t come back.

I haven’t had the food but I’m giving it 4 stars for the music and sangria.
I stopped here for a friend’s welcome to NYC party and it was packed around 9pm on a friday. Music was bumping– indie vibes– I really liked it. I started when a couple of beers but then tried the sangria (it had some champagne in it). For $ 8 a glass, the sangria was decently strong and delicious. Highly recommend trying the sangria. Good place to catch up with friends.
Located on the west side so it’s bit of a hike if you live on the east side.

Stopped by here with from friends because I was craving a burger and I was not disappointed! The burger was delicious!!! So juicy and literally melted in my mouth. I splurged and paid extra for the bacon and it was great. Kind of pricey, but if you’re willing to pay a few extra bucks for a good burger, I’d def stop here.
The atmosphere is fun too — the inside is dark and I felt cozy in the booth, sitting across from the bar. Gets crowded but a fun place to mingle.

Thursday night happy hour into dinner.
A highly recommended experience!
–craft beers by the fire ($ 2 dollars off all draughts abd domestic bottles until 7pm on weeknights)
–classic hits type music
–comfortable atmosphere
the food was well priced and really good:
–burger and fries were an A+
–half chicken with two sides were an A

This is like your friendly neighbor Irish bar-​ish restaurant serving some comfort food. We went on a frigid winter Sunday for brunch.
My friend thought to introduce me to something in the West Village below 17^th Street. The wood interior with tables and banquette lends to the pub like atmosphere but it was over loud like some pub like places.
We had a seat at the large comfy booth. Our server quickly greeted and handed us the menu. They had the usual suspects for brunch but what I eyed was the Fish and Chips and my friend got his usual when he comes here. The Full Irish breakfast and two Bloody Mary to start.
The fish came in a nice batter that was light and crispy, not oily at all and the fries were the same. Maybe I was use to the big slab of cod that would come out but here the fish looked like it was a bit hacked and two smallish pieces that kinda looked like scraps. My friend’s Irish breakfast looked pretty good with brown bits that we had to look at the menu to figure out what it was but either way it happily satisfied him.
The bright place was a good brunch place. Overall, a good pick. I’d probably be a little happier if my fish didn’t look like table scraps but it was cooked well and the meal was good. We were both happy but unhappy we had to face the cold again.

Even blizzard weekend Sunday they pulled off great dinner and deserts for 4. Nice dining room and once football was over, the bar –especially the snug –was an inviting place for an after dinner whiskey by the fire.

Nice updated Irish pub in West Village. If your looking for local beer this is the place for you. 14 local breweries features all on tap.

I came to this place when it was Dublin 6 and it was a great neighborhood spot. It is even better as the renovated Hudson Hound. There is a cozy fireplace in the front and lots of tables for groups in the back, as well as a large bar section. The bartenders are very friendly. People of all ages and types hanging out. Definitely recommend for a low-​key night.

The sticky toffee pudding was outstanding but our whole meal was delicious. Beer list is short but ultra local. I’ll admit it wasn’t our first choice in the village but we are pleased to have ended up there.

I needed a cozy spot in the West Village to grab happy hour with a friend, and Hudson Hound checked off all boxes.
West Village — Check
Cozy — Absolutely. Dim lighting, two top tables and even a fire place are all things that you can find at Hudson Hound.
Happy Hour — Not a bad one. Two dollars off drafts and select 8 dollar cocktails. We each had a couple of the champagne sangrias which were tangy, fruity and delicious.
The space has two sides. One that is set up as a bar, and the other which is a dining room. We just came in to catch up over drinks, but the menu sounded great and I’d definitely return for some eating as well. I’m pretty happy about having this bar a hop skip and a jump away from the West Village path and I’m sure that I’ll be back in again.

This place has just had a revamp and looks great inside, a great cozy feeling in both the restaurant and the bar. The menu also got a makeover too and the food is «to die for»!!! Great selection and I tried the sheperds pie which was amazing.
Staff here are super friendly making you feel like a local even if it’s your first time here.
Highly recommended

Went here for happy hour. Note that the bar menu and the restaurant menu are very different. This review is for the bar.
The service was really friendly and prompt. The food sucked, for what I paid. Very blah fries, chicken fingers, etc. for pretty ridiculous prices. Welcome to the West Village I guess!
Good beer selection. Discounts during happy hour.

Dang, girrrl. How’d I walk past you so many times and not give you the time of day? The roast chicken is as good as everyone else says and I daresay better than Barbuto. And all the sides are on point: zero fails across sautéed mushrooms, spinach, mashed scallion potatoes, and mac and cheese. I could also eat an entire loaf of the soda bread and butter.
The average performers were the toasties and the baby kale salad although the hubs would beg to differ.
Service is great and the vibe ia updated, modern but neighborhood cozy. Loved it. Coming back often.

The welcome here is next to none and our meal was amazing, rotisserie chicken spins a serious main course

Came across this place for brunch after visiting the Haunted High Line. Was the perfect place to bring out twins (3 years) to eat. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and there was plenty of room for the strollers. Enjoyed the burger and chips but it was definitely the great service from Chrissy and the staff which is why I gave it five stars.

The wifester and I are boring old fogeys who pretty much only go out for Happy Hour before getting home to watch our stories and collapse. But we give this place TWO thumbs up!
Why?
1. Happy hour beers are 2 bucks off. They have an excellent micro brew selection. Try the Finback: it’s a Belgian style wit bier (sort of a hefeweizen but better). There are about 13 draft beers, mostly NY area. Looks like they’ll soon have a lager from the Kerry Ireland that I really liked during a recent Ireland vacation
2. The food is very tasty.
3. I could write more but it’s beer time and I’m only half way through a second beer

We were looking for a late dinner and we ended up in HH whose kitchen opens until 1145pm.
We had the burger which was pretty good and definitely delicious but we also tried the oxtail soup with bacon dumplings. The soup was an adventurous overstep and just a weird combo of inexplicable flavours.
Drinks were ok and server was pleasant enough although when pressed for suggestions, she wasn’t non-​committal — we would have loved suggestions but she just didn’t have anything for us.

I’d give it 6 stars if I could. The spit roast chicken was finger licking good. I don’t know how they get it so succulent and the flavour is fabulous. The décor is lovely with a cozy Irish snug in the bar. Our Irish server Laura was super friendly and helpful and the chef came out to ask us how our food was during the meal and recommended his famous trifle for desert which is a must have if you go there. We really were impressed by this place I will definitely be back.

Wow. What a difference a fresh coat of white paint makes along with new furniture to turn a place around. Completely new vibe, less of a sports bar, more of a high end contemporary pub with booth seating on the other side of the bar. Friendly bar staff. They have a bar menu, main meal menu and kids menu featuring modern day Irish food and pub fare.
