Manhattan Proper

Love the Happy Hour scene here!
This is a go to place for my company to have happy hours. The prices are right and the crowd is fun! From going here so many times I decided to host a small birthday get-​together/​pre game before going out for the night since it is in a good location to meet up.
Megan was so helpful in planning this night for me over email! I didn’t have full details yet on who would be coming or the timing and I sent these to her after talking to my friends, and she was always very quick in her response and was so helpful. Note they have a special deal you can do for events where you can purchase wristbands for open bar options.
Love the atmosphere here for just catching up with friends or watching a game
GET THE TRUFFLE FRIES. They were so delicious and fresh and hot that my friends and I got 2 orders in a row. They have fresh green onions on top truffle oil and Parmesan and are very fragrant. I would definitely look to try other items on their food menu knowing how good these were!

AMAZING BURGERS! As a bar in Tribeca, this place may be extremely empty during weekdays or Sunday nights but it is definitely not due to its lack of delicious offerings. I have been here twice now for food and have enjoyed it thoroughly. First, I will just like to give a quick shout-​out to their pineapple infused vodka: Sweet and tangy. I could barely taste the vodka and it went down like juice. Deadly but delicious!
Now for the food: I have gotten their burgers twice now. The Manhattan Proper Burger and the Turkey Burger which I substituted with beef because I was craving red meat. My boyfriend got the salmon burger. My comments applies to all three: AMAZING! First their bread holds all the contents of the burgers perfectly. It looked to be multi-​grain. It was dense and strong but light to the bite. Great with the burgers. The meat itself was plentiful and super moist. Both the salmon and beef came in large patties. I was definitely getting my moneys worth. The additions to the burgers tasted super fresh and just complemented everything perfectly. The red pepper aioli is spot-​on. Their side salad was also largely portioned. A great mix of lettuce with tomatoes and a light tangy dressing. I also got their fries which were super crispy.

On top of that, the service is super nice. We’ve only sat at the bar to get the full view of their TVs but the experience has been wonderful.

Came here for a private event and had a good time. This place is pretty much an upscale sports bar, which is great if you’re looking for a relaxed yet polished place to have a drink or watch a game.
I was satisfied with the drinks, which were decently strong for an open bar. They have a pineapple infused vodka that I thought was tasty. I was also pleasantly surprised with the food which was above average compared to other typical American bars. Some of the standouts were the grilled chicken skewers (I must have eaten at least 15 of these on the low honestly), cheeseburger sliders (super juicy and rivaled some of the more established burger places in the city), mushroom sandwiches, truffled Mac and cheese, penne a la Vodka and blackened salmon. The only real miss of the night was the steak which was cooked far too well done for my taste.
Overall it was a good night and a nice place to ring in the new year. I’d come back if I was in the area to have a beer.

Disappointed. Read the reviews and decided to check this place out. It was a Sunday and we showed up with a party of 7. There were a few other large tables already seated. They are totally understaffed. Pretty sure there are only 3 working the bar, waiting tables, bussing, and cooking. We waited forever for our order to be taken. We ordered drinks that never showed up. Food came out and the proper burgers were missing bacon, other two meals came out wrong, and we got our appetizer after the meal was done. And the tacked on the 20% auto tip because of the size of our party. We also watched the table next to us send back dishes.

Came to check in and get glass of wine but only with a meal :(

Do you like booze, sports and amazing food? Why yes you say? Try this place!!!
Bartenders are super friendly and attentive (Jason was awesome!), flat screen tvs are huge and plentiful … And the food!!! Lemme tell you about the food …
This sports bar has very satisfying bar food but it’s notable because it’s a step above most bar food I’ve ever had. Think gooey grilled cheese with avocado and tomato dipping soup … Truffle Parmesan French fries (thrice fried), lots of burger options.
You MUST try the pickle and Jameson shot (try before you judge) and the most amazing Greg goose infused pineapple (for all you low calorie drinkers!!) — only need some ice and you are set! Will be back to try their other inventive cocktails. Been around the world and back, this place is great!

My friend had her birthday here. I understand that it was very busy but the bartenders were by far the rudest people I have ever dealt with. I asked for a red bull vodka and he replied and said there’s no more red bull when there was a fridge literally filled with them right behind him. That’s his job to serve customers. Clearly the bartenders here know nothing about customer service. My other friends experienced the exact same thing. The bartenders even threw the drinks at them. This bar is the worst place ever with even worse bartenders.

NEVER coming here again. My friend and I had our birthday party here yesterday and one of the bartenders (taller white male) was nothing but a douchebag. (Excuse my language) But he was straight up an asshole. Refused to give me drinks and said «you can ask all you want but you’re not getting it.» Accused me of giving drinks to other people because it was open bar, when I WASNT. And chucking drinks at my friends. He really killed my mood on my BIRTHDAY. Worst ever.

Proper is the right name for this place! Five stars all the way. I was in New York for the first time and coming from Detroit I was a bit overwhelmed. I walked into this place and felt at home as soon as I walked in. Smiles all around from the staff and customers. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the efficiency of the staff. Being in the business myself when I see a happy speedy team I know it’s a great place. The vodka cranberry I ordered was great, more than enough vodka and I swear the juice must of been Ocean Spray! Truffle fries are a must! I will be back.

Hate the bar location! I have transferred into many seats but still i couldn’t find a better place to relax. Calamari and truffle Fries are perfectly combined together and created an amazing taste. Always keep an eye with your watch because you might forget the exact time for it was really dark inside.

Love it! The food was awesomely good. Recommend it 100%.
I ate the steak with fries and it tasted awesome.

Nice and cozy place nearby my campus. Went here once to watch a ball game after school. My second time was with couple of peers after a club/​networking event. Wouldn’t recommend to go with a big group unless you are doing table service. But all in all good experience.

I had a pretty good experience watching a Met’s World Series game here at the bar. Food was great. I had the salmon burger, which was excellent and well-​cooked. I thought the prices were very good, too… I was actually shocked at how low my bill was. (Not to mention there was a Unilocal check-​in offer for a free beer.)
The bartender serving me was pretty bad though. They have a house beer, and when I asked him what kind of beer it was, he told me «it’s a house beer.» Very descriptive! He also snatched the beer before I was finished, and when I gave him a look, he offered it back to me, with his fingers in the glass. Each time I got food, the food runner had to go and get me silverware. And when the check came, all he gave me was the credit card receipt, not the itemized bill. (I didn’t care since it was lower than expected, but that shouldn’t happen.)

In town for training and a couple of good friends suggested this place. Christy and the other bartenders were not only welcoming, but also very attentive to our group, even with the after work rush. Great atmosphere, great service, and great personnel.
I plan on visiting again and I absolutely recommend to visit.

Perfect place in Tribeca NY for alittle happy hour and some appetizers. The inside is clean and the staff is professional and friendly. Prices are good. The cocktails are great.
The Bartender Britney is an absolute 10. She is just an amazing person and the bar should be so glad to have her there. She made sure we my friends were having a great time and always had our drinks ready to go.
I’ll definitely be back here again.
Thanks for the great time.

Quite nice!
I met up with an old friend from HS whom I haven’t seen in years. I suggested lunch and he works near city hall… So I relied on his judgment for restaurant selection.
Our lunch at 11:30 was tasty. I had the salmon burger and my water glass never went empty. The salmon burger came with a side salad and either I was ridiculously hungry after a morning of walking from midtown to city hall or it was extremely well done.
Strangely enough there were no other customers there while we dined. A little strange for NYC in my opinion but I is a Tuesday at the end of the month and maybe people have deadlines?
The small space is well used, and the feel is nice. Wait staff were pleasant and not in your face. I’d come back or recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a good bite to eat!

This place was alright — a solid choice for post-​work drinks or a spot to go when there’s a game on.
The food was good, but nothing spectacular. Among four people, we split the calamari, truffle Mac and cheese and the brooklyn beignets (filled with mozzarella and pepperoni). The calamari was a little too crispy for my taste, but there was a fair amount to portion size. The Mac and cheese had a strong smell of truffle, definitely a plus! A little too al dente for me, and I wish that it was a bit cheesier. I didn’t try the beignets, but they looked perfect.
The ambiance was relaxing, and had higher end finishes conspired to the usual sports bar. They have several televisions around, and the music isn’t too loud. Our server was friendly and checked up on us several times throughout our meal (though I was a little turned off when she asked if we had shown our IDs to the bouncer — do we look that young?) Cons? The food took a while to come out, even though there was only one other table in the dining area.

So this use to be one of my favorite lunch spots. My coworkers and myself would frequent this restaurant on a weekly basis. Due to a recent office location change I no longer was able to come to our hang out spot that often. So a couple months past and we decided to meet up here again for old times sake. WHAT A BAD IDEA!
1. They removed the nachos off the menu (What type of cruel human being does that?!)
2. They add wings to the appetizer list which may sound like a good thing but they were salter than a cup of sea water!
3. The Proper Burger (which I assumed was the main attraction of some sort) was burned! My coworker compared it to chewing on tar (not sure how she knew what tar taste like and I didn’t bother to ask either).
4. The cheese on my buffalo chicken sandwich was burned onto the bun (I don’t particularly like the taste of burnt cheese and chicken. Something about the two doesn’t really go together).
Overall: We were highly disappointed! Time to find a new lunch spot.

What an awesome, hip and relaxed place. Great bartenders and hostess… Really can’t wait to go back.
Great place to watch a game and hang with your friends. Just beautiful.

I made a Unilocal reservation for a Friday night at 9 pm. I feel a little silly making a reservation, since most of the tables were empty when we got there. But the hostess was sweet and already had a table set up with 3 menus waiting for us when we arrived 10 minutes early. The waitress was very friendly and very patient with us as we took turns using the restrooms before we ordered.
We all ordered the Gummy Bear Martini. It was really strong! It had good flavor though, but also limited me to one drink since we came here after wine tasting.
We split an order of Mini Signature Sliders and Parmesan Truffle Fries between the three of us. There were three sliders and a pickle spear. This made it easy to split, and we just cut the pickle into thirds. I felt that the sliders were pretty bland. On the other hand, the Parmesan Truffle Fries were bursting with flavor! These were definitely a fan favorite at our table. The fries were crispy, extremely flavorful, and plentiful! It was a huge dish and even between three of us, we couldn’t finish it.
They offer a check-​in special on Unilocal,free draft beer or house wine with the purchase of food (including appetizers). Too bad I didn’t check-​in until after I ordered that Gummy Bear Martini. I was too full from the food and martini (and our earlier wine tastings) to order that free drink. If I’m back in the area I’d stop in for those Parmesan Truffle Fries and my free drink.
