The European

I visited with a friend for a quick happy hour get together. We each sliders, patatas bravas, truffle garlic fries & cocktails (I had a mojito & my friend had a lemon drop). The space is modern & sleek. The bartender was also our server so he was juggling table service & bar guests so he was busy. The food & cocktails were pretty good & happy hour prices made it even better.

It was so nice to have a functioning bar and food options in a hotel, again. The food served here comes from the tapas restaurant and is good. The churros are amazing! The feel of the place is upscale bar, but friendly and unpretentious. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender and had a very enjoyable time.

Great drinks!Before I go on, let me say that my review covers drinks only. We did not have any food on this visit.We had a short window of a couple of hours to get together with a couple of friends and they suggested The European because it was conveniently located for all of us. The place has a nice bar, to your left as you enter, and also a seating area with a few tables. We sat at one of the tables at the very end. The cocktails are made real nicely. Their Mojito won a few votes in our group. I ordered the Sangria and loved it.There was a family sitting on a table near us and they ordered plenty of food; all tapas style and every plate they got looked appetizing! But, we were running out of time and had to hit the road. Next time we will definitely try the food!

Bartenders are top notch, they make you feel welcome and can make any drink. Offered a blackberry mojito and the espresso martini were delicious. They have 2 tvs to catch the sports games with a food menu as well. Excellent service and experience

The food is tapas style with several paella options available. Great wine list and a delicious espresso martini they add chocolate liqueur in I love the bar staff - they know their cocktails and wines, are so kind and energetic, and overall possess great energy that add to the ambiance of The European. I enjoy coming here for a bite or drink with the girls since their seating is comfortable and chic, think loungey tapas den style, with the choice of four/two top tables, if so preferred. The seafood paella had a surprising amount of seafood in it, ask for some hot sauce to go with! The lamb lollipops - super tender and savory; patatas bravas were a group favorite; shishito peppers - kinda basic but expected. For desserts, we had the chocolate ganache, or bites of chocalate bliss paired with strawberries and little crackers, and a slice of cake (can't remember the name. Go for the ganache!! The cake was okay, not too flavorful and quite dense.

great experience! Don't miss it and the music was also super fun, lots of Latin hits perfect for a Thursday happy hour

We had no plans of going to a bar when we came in here. We were actually looking for a place to grab a quick bite before our Harry Potter play on the street opposite. Since this was the only place nearby, we decided to go in. I am glad that we did :)As a first impression, nothing really stands out with this place. Its a regular bar with a good selection of drinks and has good seating indoors.Drinks : We had a couple of Cucumber delight and Old fashions. The drinks were yummy and potent with the right amount of sweetness. Food : The fries and the chicken wings were great, definitely something we needed before the 3 hour long play. Ambience : This place is bigger than what it appears from outside. Its clean, the bar is not as big but the seating is great. The music was very light so it made it easier to have a conversation. But then again, it might get loud as night falls. The bathrooms are located upstairs and make you walk almost through a maze to get there but are clean and hygienic. There is no outdoor seating here.Value for Money : Drinks are strong and the food is good. What else do you need!

The European quickly became my fiancé and I's favorite place in Union Square. We came twice in our short 4 day trip. We felt so welcomed by everyone we interacted with. The bar tenders as well as the food & drink manager we're wonderful! The food is 10/10 and the drinks are also 10/10! Knowledgeable bartenders who were able to help my fiancé explore more delicious , reasonably priced bourbon.

We were looking for a spot with wine and tapas and we found this spot just a block away from our hotel. You must have your COVID vaccinations and ID to be served. The interior is quite cozy with dim lighting. We had a nice cab with a half charcuterie and cheese plate which was very good! I was surprised to get a $2 off on a glass of wine when I checked in. When I mentioned it to the server, she said since Covid, they were not supposed to have a Yelp discount, but she was kind enough to honor it. We really liked the food and wine and would go back again.

I went for couple drinks and snacks before goin theater, the bartender was very friendly and everything was going well until a very rude woman appeared, she looked like the manager because she also mistreated the bartender, it was very uncomfortable. I canceled the snacks and I will never go back.
