Randolph At Broome

The sweet cocktails with fresh fruits were excellent. Two bartenders promptly served them.
The noise level was adequate to carry a conversation.
The clean and small bathroom didn’t have a changing table for babies.

This place gives off a divey feel… (3.5−4 star rating) You can order food from their sister bar Randolph Beer. It comes in take out boxes which I thought was interesting but I wish they did have small plates at this location just in case you’re sharing the food. However, I’m not that picky so I was OK with this but be warned if you think this will bother you! The food is good! Empanadas were FULL and I loved the brussel sprouts. Cocktails were good too I tried the Winona Cider from the new fall cocktail menu. Would definitely come back for a very laid back casual night or quick drink.

I had a sour beer here and the warm quinoa and kale salad. Let me preface this by saying I don’t generally like quinoa or kale. But this warm quinoa and kale salad topped with grilled shrimp was a banger! I ate about half of it before I was stuffed and had to ask for it to be packed. The shrimp was grilled really nicely, but the quinoa was the real winner here. It was soft, and cooked in an oil with spices that made it say «Hello!!» in my mouth.
My friends ordered the ribs, and each plate came with a heaping pile. The ribs were super soft and the meat fell right off the bone. The ribs had a sticky glaze to each of them too. All in all, a solid dish. Prices were a bit high but what else can you expect out of north Chinatown?
Great spot, wide range of drink selection and good food. What a simple concept executed well!

My friends and I finally decided to stop going there. A bunch of us (10 – 15) live within blocks and have been going religiously (2−5x/wk) for over w year with other friends/​coworkers. basically, there’s always at least 5 of us at randolphs ALL THE TIME. yet, none of us have ever been recognized nor treated like regulars. every other bar/​restaurant in the neighborhood makes us feel «at home» and greets me with warmth. Seriously, 3^rd time last week and not a single inkling of recognition from the staff.
Very short-​sighted business strategy. As of last Friday, they just lost 25 regular patrons.

Favorite bar in the neighborhood! Drinks are at a premium, but if you’re open to trying one of their cocktails, it’s worth the price. The entrance and décor is pretty unassuming in that you wouldn’t expect much of the bar overall. Hence the popularity is 100% a function of the libations and ability to hang out without judgement! As for the drinks, they have great summer cocktails AND great winter cocktails. I love the seasonal element and ability to always find something unique to drink there, regardless of the mood. Perhaps it’s not a bar you plan to be at, but if you’re in the neighborhood, it’s definitely one of the better options!

We stopped by Randolph (the lounge) for a drink while we were waiting for our table at Seamores, down the street. Their cocktail menu had so many options I wanted to try, but I ended up getting a watermelon cocktail which was delicious and refreshing. Perfect for a warm summer night in August. I can’t wait to come back and try some others.

Sorry, All. I cannot give Randolph a great review.
We came with 7 – 8 ready to have a great time. We got no staff interaction but did get small drinks at high prices and some warm snacks on cardboard… and not so tasty.
Not returning.

Drinks were fine, pretzel was stellar but bartender was inefficient, slow, and super rude. When we made multiple drink orders he was super annoyed and beyond rude. I don’t think I’ll be coming back… Rather go to location in wburg

Damn fine burger. I was by far the lamest person in the bar but, whatever, it was still an awesome burger.

This is my new favorite happy hour spot and it’s great for a pre-​dinner drink while waiting for your reservation. $ 9 for a pretty expansive list of cocktails is a good deal in my book. The cocktails are really delicious as well, I especially like the Castaway and Strawberry Cucumber Fizz.
The place is big — lots of huge booths, tables, and standing room, and very cool-​casual. Every time I’ve been here people are standing around and it’s super easy to grab a booth for a group of friends.
The only thing I hated was the ridiculously loud music. I’m talking louder than a club rock music at 6 PM on a Sunday evening. My voice was hoarse after leaving happy hour.

I LOVE the cocktails. They are hand crafted, creative, amazing, and delicious. They are pricey but happy hour is awesome. The place is cozy and comfy with an outdoor seating option. Also the coffee is great. Today I had the purple people eater cocktail, amazing. Other days I’ve had the Texas porch sipper (not sure of the exact name) and some of their whiskey based cocktails. Yeah you may have to wait a minute for your cocktail, but it’s worth the wait and it takes time to make all these crafty cocktails. Mixology without the pretension and a great place to hang with friends.

I came into Randolph at Broome this past weekend and had fun. Not to be mistaken for Randolph Beer. This is the bar dedicated version but they serve some of Beer’s best dishes. Angry Sprouts how you doin! We got here a bit before 11pm and it wasn’t too crowded, unlike Mother’s Ruin which was a shitshow! Grabbed a seat at the bar and promptly got drinks. I like the vibe here. Laid back, nothing fancy, and awesome bartenders. Just a great place to hang out with your favorite people on a still cold as hell February night. Where are you spring… like serious.

Craving a burger, I stopped in during lunch with a couple of friends the other day and ordered a beer and burger/​fries. One of my friends did the same thing and the other ordered a few sides as his meal.
We were in total disbelief when our requested food came in to-​go boxes. We were instantly confused liked anyone else, as we were intending to stay for lunch. As we expressed our confusion to the bartender, she simply replied, ’ that’s how it comes” and walked away. Our entire bill was over $ 50 — I at least would’ve loved my food to have arrived on a plate, like it normally would for anyone staying IN for lunch. But who’s complaining? The reason for the two stars was for the conversation my friends and I had. They are hilarious — my time was spent well.
What was probably the biggest nuisance of the entire lunch was when i went to the bathroom. There wasn’t any toilet paper. Not even a wall mount for it. It was weird. Where do you guys have your toilet paper? There was also no soap in the bathroom (I checked in both bathrooms), and it was weird, because under the mirror there was a «employees must wash hands» sign. Thank goodness for the sanitizer bottle hanging off my purse. Thank you sanitizer gods.
I should’ve known something was up. It’s in the middle of one the busiest neighborhoods in lower manhattan (and yes, I’m a New Yorker and not a transplant) and it was weird to see that place empty.
This place is forgettable.

Super cool bar that we always seem to end up when we are in the area. It’s never packed to the gills like Mother’s Ruin. Bartenders are a good time, the Dj was playing good music, and everyone was having fun. The cocktails were good and flowing. The tequila shots with a sangrita back are a lot of fun. Just be careful with jackets while you are there, 2 people had theirs stolen while we were there on a recent night.

Ohhh my god!!! I think I went to hell! Drinks so horrible. Had to switch twice. Sorry! Still suck. Pass the Jameson, pls!

I’m a bit mixed on whether I’d come here at night. The combination of overpriced cocktails and fancy coffee, located in a spot right between LES and Chinatown makes me think the crowd gets realllll weird at night. However, if you happen to be walking through the area, I’d definitely give the coffee here a shot.
They’ve got beans from very eclectic places, from the very obnoxious Williamsburg roasts to African ones. The ambiance is on the funkier side. It’s dark, and the music is pretty loud, even for a day time visit. If a friend’s in town and you want to take them to a weirder kind of coffee shop, definitely check this place out.

Yet another over priced pretentious «mixology» bar that serves the next biggest scam to hit New York. Coffee!
A $ 14 Plymouth martini that was maybe, Maybe, two ounces and that’s a Christmas present to the bar to say it was that big. Now $ 14 would be a pretty good price if it was a real martini.
I understand with the wild rents that charging a bit more for its location might be in order but that was just a straight rip.
While waiting for my drink that actually didn’t take that long for such an establishment. But, being the only one there drinking anything but coffee at 4 in the afternoon (okay I’m a drunk) all the talk was what kind of smoke salt to use on the rim. Lady’s and gentlemen, we have gone too far. Don’t get me wrong, I like the concept of these «well crafted» cocktails but enough is enough.
I would frequent this place if it just alittle more reasonable. How about $ 20 for a real martini. They didn’t seem to care much about my quick chug and exit but perhaps that was because I had a Levi’s bag in tow screaming tourist.
Fellas… I live 5 blocks away and I won’t be back. Sadly I’m sure there are plenary of suckers out there to waste money on this

It was my friend’s bday and we went to this bar. It had a very eclectic mix of people from a cocaine snorting coder/​hacker to some New Zealand music producers who wanted to show us his private parts for some reason. There almost seamed to be an ebb and flow to the crowd demographic which made it seem that there was a pub crawl happening that we weren’t invited to.
But all in all we had a good time. I had the Texas porch sipper and the Randolph Paloma, but I would have to say that if you are a Mohito fan go for the sipper, but if you are a coconut run flavor fan (which am not!), go for the latter.

Cool spot for drinks. They have coffee cocktails, but that’s not what I tried. There was a happy hour special, so I tried one of those. I don’t exactly remember what was in it, but it was super strong.
I love the décor. It smells good in there. It feels very historic. A quintessential NYC bar.

Omg… these cocktails are dangerous…
But they have board games!!! Score!
Operation & Clue whilst sipping your cocktail? A good time. You’re more dexterous & forward thinking than you think while tipsy…
Great time. Want to go back to use my brain power ;-)
