I'm really pleased that we wandered into this place for lunch today.
We wanted somewhere warm, with working restrooms, good fresh home style food and we weren't disappointed.
We ordered the soup of the day, which was Lentil, fresh and homemade,and the homemade veggie burger.
The food was fresh and tasty and the service efficient and helpful.
A great place to rest on a cold NYC day.
You know, this place wasn't so bad.
I came here with a friend on a summer Sunday and was seated immediately. We came here after seeing a coworker's art exhibit on Governor's Island. Stone St. (as I found out) is a little pedestrian block with tables set up by the restaurants on that block. It was actually kind of cute, but kind of a confusing set up – like how did waitresses know which tables were theirs?
We were seated on the side of the street opposite to the restaurant door. My friend and I both ordered the crabcake benny (a little pricey at $17), which was surprisingly good. It came with homefries and a little bit of fruit. I ordered a mimosa in which the waitress told me that at that point in the day (3 p.m.-ish), they were no longer doing boozy brunch (which is $20 for unlimited beer, mimosa, bloody mary, etc. for 2 hours). I was fine with it, but upon receiving the bill realized that the mimosa came out to $10. A little pricey, if you ask me.
Overall, the food wasn't bad albeit pricey (if you ask me). What was bad enough to note was the service! It seemed like there was only one hostess and one waitress. When our waitress came out with our drinks, my friend apologized for forgetting to ask for water to begin with and the waitress replies, "okay, but it will take a while because its busy." Weird, right? It was just water. I guess we also didn't mind that the waitress paid us no mind because we didn't need her much. The people next to us, however, we joking around with each other (and with the waitress when she came around) about how she kept forgetting things such at water, utensils, etc. They really tried to make light of the whole thing, but she didn't find it funny. I get it. It was a busy Sunday, I guess.
Beckett's is exactly what you would expect from a bar/restaurant on Stone Street. Food is decent and service is pretty good. There is also a wide variety of beer and liquor which is nice, but other than that, there is really nothing that draws you in. I've read a couple of reviews on the brunch and would be interested in trying that, I'm always down for a good deal. Not the first place I would go to on Stone Street though, food is just meh.
I've been basically to every place on Stone St. It's what you would expect. I would suggest sticking with the burgers here as I had the worst shepherd's pie ever. It was tomato based. Riddle me that Batman. Food is overpriced.
Decent service, outdoor seating. Be mindful of rude people who will try to smoke out on the patio.
I've been here a couple of times and it's been good times. It represents a typical stone street bar offering a wide variety of beers and sufficient table service. Stone street and the bar reminds me of a bar you would find in Boston, with the gobble stone on the outside and the wooden old feel inside.
They offer a typical selection of bar food. My friends and I got the Nachos Grande and their combo platter. The nachos were nice and crispy, topped with plenty of chili on top. The combo platter included sweet potato fries which were crispy on the outside and soft and potatoey on the outside. Overall, adequate to satisfy those drunk munchies. Both plates were annihilated in a matter of minutes.
This bar is also a great option for sports watching as they have plenty of TVs as well as a projector screen. I would definitely be down to go again.
First Experience- Arrived in the evening, after sun went down, so it was very dark. My company was hosting it's annual christmas party here. It's multi-level, so we had the upstairs which provided sit down table and open space for dancing and socializing. The drinks were good, gave me a nice head. Had the chicken wings and sliders, both quite tasty.
It was very dark inside, and I would have liked to have some light, but the christmas lights hanging was a nice touch. However, being that it is an old building, located on one of NYC's oldest cobble stone alleys, you can imagine what lurks in the dark hidden cracks. Get my point.
Second Experience- summertime, the sun still up and looked totally different. Hung out downstairs, the Cosmopolitan I ordered was on point, again.
This place the best! It's my cornerstone bar in Downtown. It's always a good time here. The staff are awesome. Definitely a great place to watch football (they play all of the games on multiple TVs), or rugby!
Scotty and Caitlyn are the best bartenders in the city! Definitely treat them well when you come down.
Seems they have high quality scotch here. Tried the nachos and chicken quesadilla; the quesadilla was more pico or onion tasting than I'd have liked. I've had better guacamole but I'd have liked the nachos better without the jalapeno; some of us have sensitive constitutions and can't do hot peppers. The cheese was good, though & the chips had the right salty and crisp to them. Service could have been much better since one friend kept getting ignored by the bartender, this poor woman who was having to do it all by herself & looked like she needed help due to the short staffing. To be located in the Financial District, this place itself is pretty relaxed and laidback.
