    I had my birthday here in November. I spoke with Moti a few weeks ahead of time and reserved the back room. I had to agree to bring at least 30 people and spend $500, both of which I was planning to do. When I arrived at the bar, the bouncer immediately directed us to the back room. Shortly after, another employee cleared the room of people who weren't with my party to make sure we had it to ourselves. Shortly after that, a private waitress appeared and began taking drink orders. To say the night was flawless would be an understatement. The staff at 10 Degrees did such a great job that I was able to simply enjoy my party and not worry about anything else. It was exactly what I was hoping for and more. Everyone who came to my party had a great time. I would highly recommend 10 Degrees for your event. I'll definitely be renting the room next year. The last thing I should mention is when the waitress brought the check for my group. I told her how happy I was and that I planned on tipping her well. At that time, she pointed out that a tip had already been included in the check. Because of her honesty and how happy I was with the event, I chose to give her an additional tip, on top of the one that was built into the check. The fact that the waitress at 10 Degrees was so honest was just one more thing that I love about 10 Degrees. It's a top notch establishment. A big thank you to Moti and the rest of the staff at 10 Degrees.

    Very attentive waitstaff. They were definitely able to handle our large party (14+). Great panini and grilled cheese. Awesome chocolate too.

    I remember 10 Degrees when it used to be Open Air. And then Morissey Park. Who would have thought that two bar/lounges would get shut down on St. Marks for noise complaints [or so I heard]? I guess in that sense, 10 Degrees is a better fit for a "quieter" St. Marks, if that's what you're looking for. In any case, it's a decent, but not entirely recent addition to the neighborhood, if wine bars are your thing. And they happen to be mine. Well, at least one of my things. I also have an affinity for the diviest of the dives, but that's another review entirely. The decor is nice - classy, if a little understated with soft lighting and adequate seating throughout. Now, I've only ever gone for their happy hour [which ends at 7 during the week] so I can't comment on what I'm sure are ridiculously packed [and probably obnoxious] weekend nights here but it's usually pretty calm during the week. They offer a selection of small plates to go with your libation of choice [including a full bar], which helps to counter balance the sleepy-drunk effects of the rather large glasses of wine that they pour...but hey, I ain't complainin' about that! It's a great place for an after-work, relaxed drink or two, especially in the summertime when they open up the entire front of the bar and the sounds of the East Village intermingle with the clinking of wine glasses and subdued conversations. I could really go for a glass of Pinot Noir right now just thinking about it....

    Love this spot. Great vibe, great wine selection and great bartenders and waitresses. Mixed International crowd. Love it.

    Nice wine selection! Loved the happy hour. Subtle, wooden decor. And the owner, Moti, was fabulous...great hospitality and conversation. I look forward to our next visit!

  • Michelle M.

    Love this place, though it's a little pricey and can get really cramped on busy nights. I went here for my 21st birthday actually and slurped down several of their delicious mojitos. They always have friendly bartenders and right now there's a really cute one from Ireland (or maybe Scotland...don't remember). Anyway, nice eye candy. =D This place is kind of overrun with women, so it's not a great place to meet guys, I have to say. Haha. Otherwise a great spot.

  • J W.

    Decent happy hour, but just make sure that you're actually ordering 2 drinks a person for the 2 for 1 or you'll get charged the full price.

    (3)
  • Anna L.

    Great happy hour special! It's a bit out of the way (well, for a midtown west side person) and service wasn't exactly swift, but good vibe, the right price, and we were able to score a table. I'd go back for early happy hour again.

    (4)
  • D J.

    Don't let the 2 for 1 drink special fool you! When arriving at this establishment we were greeted at the door by this horrible stench. Once seated the air conditioner had a slow leak of water that dripped on the table and guests. When the leak was mentioned to the waitress being told to slide over because it's just water is not an acceptable solution. The rude service we received coupled with a leaky air conditioner makes this a bar I will never visit again, I don't care how great a 2 for 1 drink special sounds.

  • Lost In T.

    Love the 2-4-1 happy hour. I had a fantastic Italian white wine that went so nicely with our cheese/salami platter. Those cheeses were the best I've had in a long time. Gotta get the cheese. Did I mention the cheese?

    (5)
  • Andrea C.

    Great ambiance, laid back and clean... Sidewalk style wine and cheese bar - prices are varied and you can find a couple of great wines by the glass for a reasonable price. Service was friendly and we didn't get a chance to order food - but saw others plates and it looked great! Had a good glass of Reisling which was just what I wanted after a long, yucky, hot day.

  • Ashley M.

    I went there about a week ago with some friends after work. They have a great wine selection. I probably wouldn't go here outside of happy hour which is buy one get one until 8. It's also a good place to go on a date because its not divey or cheesy. Nor is it loud.

    (4)
  • Jae K.

    This place looks like it would be upscale, but it was a really nice crowd. Lots and lots of seating, jazz band playing, really relaxed, loved the decor and lighting. Lots of wines to choose from. FYI, the bathroom doors in the back show your silhouette! a little bit awkward!

    Not recommended. Unfriendly staff. Drinks were just standard. Will not come back. Too small. Skip this one.

    In St Marks, open setting however still crowded enough for intimate discussions with strangers. Kudos to the staff who let my indesisive ass taste all the reds before going w/ a bordello. Fun little hang out. Next time I'll check out the food.

  • Arthur S.

    A nice, solid wine and beer bar near Tomkins Sq Park. Good alternative to another favorite, Bua, across the street. It's a bit quieter here. Love the happy hour 2 for 1 deal. And it's nice and clean inside too!

    (3)
  • Brenna B.

    10 Degrees is a great bar. Warm and friendly with great drinks and food. You can't beat the 2 for 1 happy hour. Paul the bartender mixes a mean cocktail and pretty easy on the eyes!

  • Danny n.

    you have to give it to this place the music is a killer!!! I ended up here on a Sunday night or a Monday Night.. I like places when they are not so crowded. by entering the place it doesn't look like much very minimalistic. semi dark and with beautiful people... the worst part is that they know that they are good looking.. I walked in.... seated and I looked around. usually I pay more attention to look at the place, but here the people called my attention. they tried to look unpretentious but they were pretentious, although they were dressed casual. this place is super nice for drinks and great music I believe that there is a dance floor at the end of this venue. I would go back. I like the place and to the all good looking people..specially girls let me reaffirm that you are good looking!! more wine!!!

  • camilla c.

    Great spot for a date or meeting up with a friend or two. Unlike some of the other nearby bars, this place has bit more of an upscale / modern edge to it, yet it still maintains a nice easy-going atmosphere. I like the choice of different areas to sit... at the bar where you'll see people chatting it up w/ the bartender, little bar tables/stools along the brick-exposed wall, tables in the back area where I've seen jazz bands perform from time to time, or my fave... the leather black low couch in the front (esp nice when they open up the front if the weather is nice outside). The place has a nice selection of wine, as well as cheese platters to nosh on. Low key and a nice alternative to the rest of the bars in the St Marks area... definitely a great place to have nearby. I'm sure I'll be back here very soon.

  • Krys K.

    I was in the back room for a private party, front of the bar was pretty packed but much livelier that what you would typically expect of a wine bar- would definitely go back

  • Che R.

    We had drinks there! I loved it. The look of the place is dark and sultry. The wood and stainless steel are great! The drinks were good, and the waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. They sat us right away too! Very accommodating for a Saturday night in September in NYC. :) I'd go back.

  • Joe L.

    Best music out of the bars I went to in East Village. Played good hip hop, not hip-pop. We were able to take over the very end of the bar in the corner and stayed here for a about an hour. Drinks were reasonably priced and the vibe was pretty cool. It was an older crowd, I'd say mid to upper 30's.

  • Daniel F.

    Great happy hour. Sizeable list of 2 for 1 drinks until 8pm! Friendly attentive service and pretty decent food selection for when you need to buffer the slew of old fashioneds you just tapped.

    super chill spot and two-for-one drinks. you can't beat that.

  • Jenn B.

    2 For 1's until 8pm on everything! The atmosphere is lively, but not overwhelming. It gets crowded, but if you arrive early you should have no problem getting a seat. East Village hot spot!

  • Heather M.

    My friend was wanting to go to this place for quite sometime. However, every time we went by, it was simply too crowded to go. We finally went in, and understand why this place is a crowd pleaser. The ambiance is quaint and very warm. It is decently large in space, but still cozy. This place is what a wine bar should really be. The bartenders are very on point and attentive. The food menu is simple, yet authentic. The avocado toast is a must try, as well as the israeli salad. This is a place where you could go for a drink after work, meet on a date, or have a great night drinking with buddies. Music is on point as well, and they actually pour a real drink...a must try for sure!

  • Sarah G.

    I hosted my boyfriend's 23rd birthday here last weekend and we had an incredible time! I started working with Ten Degrees' owner, Moti, to reserve the private back room a couple of weeks ago and he went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and even a little last minute emergency situation. The drinks are delicious, the staff is friendly and super efficient, the music is fun (but not frat-boy-bar fun), and the back room is perfect for a mid-size party. None of our friends had heard of the bar before, but all night long I was getting compliments on my venue choice. Ten Degrees is a gem and I highly recommend it!

    (5)
  • Michael M.

    Awesome, awesome, awesome! I had my bday party and the service the entire time couldn't have been better. We had reserved the front section of the bar (couch area) and when we got there some people were in the area. They promptly and very nicely moved the people so we could grab our seats. Waitress was by just the right number of times to see if we needed drinks and they staged the food so that it came out in waves vs all at once. The highlight though was when we ordered pickle back shots and since they didn't have any pickle juice there, they ran out and got some for us! We will definitely be back!

    (5)
  • Jen L.

    S'alright. Wear layers, that back room gets steamy when it's crowded. If you can maneuver your way to the back, there are comfy couches back there. Also, I like that the bar is a wrap-around with three exposed sides, too bad that didn't make it any easier to get a drink.

  • Cornelia G.

    Cool spot and a more reliable alternative to some of the other much hyped bars in the neighborhood. Great DJs, super friendly service, and mixed scene for all types. I come here regularly.

    (4)
  • Andrea R.

    I reserved the front table/seating area for my husband's birthday and it was great. The owner was helpful and responsive. Yes, this place definitely gets super crowded on a Saturday night, but the drinks were solid, the waitress was super friendly and helpful. It's rare bar in NYC that lets you reserve a table and seats on a Saturday night without spending $1,000 on bottle service. We ended up spending a lot less than I thought we would. Would definitely go back.

    (5)
  • Eugene E.

    A friend took me here and this place was on par. They had Hendricks which no matter what, automatically places any establishment (+1 star). Great service, good drinks. A bit crowded, but I had a good spot. Once you are in here, it seemingly becomes, sit in your chair/bar stool and that's it. Not much room for walking around or even going to the bathroom. Somewhat small, but really quaint, I wouldn't hope for them to expand, totally would take away from the ambiance. NOW, know what you are ordering before going in - because this place is DARK. One girl from our group took the candle off the table to try and read the menu.

    (4)
  • Lindsey S.

    If only this was in San Francisco! Ten Bells is a super cool little spot - really, really cool decor, friendly service and a good crowd, plus it's buy one, get one free until 8:00 pm every night! What a steal. I wasn't too familiar with most of the wines by the glass, but the two I tried were both fantastic. Seems like a good spot for a group or a date.

    (5)
  • Jerome Espinosa B.

    now, i have to say that this one really nice place to go whenever you're in the mood to hang around with friends, plus some new people. a bit pricey though (we came past 10pm, so we missed the happy hour). i just noticed that there are lots of college looking people here (on a thursday), i.e. young-looking or perhaps fresh from college. comfy seats, clean restrooms, neat decors, attentive service---check it out!

  • Tristan W.

    Beyond the nice atmosphere, great beer/wine/spirit selection, and convenient location... one single thing truly made our first visit to Ten Degrees amazing, and that was the bartender. Our bartender was so precise in everything she did, from great drinks to great personality. It is so nice to find a fun and talented bartender in a cool low key place! Cheers to you very awesome bartender!

  • Ally I.

    Loved the ambiance of the place & every staff member was super nice!! 3 of my friends & I sat in the back room. I drank their Kentucky cocktail (Makers Mark, pineapple juice over rocks) - it was delicious - and enjoyed a panini that had bresola & goat cheese. Again, amazing. The dressing on mixed greens that came with the panini was sweet & savory. Music was a good mix of rock, reggae & hip-hop. No top 40s but definitely a music lovers spot. More about the drinks - great selection of cocktails, wines & beers. Overall, my friends and I couldn't stop talking about how great the place was. It was a lovely Friday night!

  • Elijah C.

    i was just brought here by a friend yesterday and i really liked it. it has a really nice and cozy atmosphere. it's a great place to enjoy some good wine and conversation with friends or on a date i imagine. we were given tasty olives too.. mmm.. would recommend.

  • Mariana R.

    Forgot all about this spot till a week ago when I came back for a quick happy hour stop. Their two for one specials are great, and they go till 8pm. I had wine, friend had cocktails and said they were made good n strong. The look is dim, classy, exposed brick, laid back crowd, good for a date or catching up with a friend.

    (4)
  • Leanne L.

    Ten Degrees is a great mix of casual and cool. The wine list is always a pleasure and reasonable, but the cheese plate is pricy for the quantity served, so go for the wine. The last time I was there, live music was playing in the back, but it was a wee bit loud for the space. As it is a block from my house, it is one of my favorite wine bars.

    (5)
  • Brittany D.

    This place is amazing! Went here for NYE to ring in the new year proper. Moti and his bar staff took great care of us with delicious eats & beverages all night long and into the wee hours of the AM. Next time I make it back to NYC, I'll be sure to stop by here!

  • Sam S.

    really cool spot. the cheese plate is great and so is the nachos and gauc.

  • Utsav R.

    Love this spot! The cocktails are delicious and the two-for-one happy hour makes this one of my favorite spots in the Village to meet friends for drinks. Service is pretty good, considering how busy it gets at times. Recommended cocktail: the Old Fashioned.

    (5)
  • Kathleen Y.

    The people here were a lot younger and less yuppie-ish than the rest of the East and West Village's wine bars. The wine selection was respectable. I enjoyed the olives and the cheese I had. The music was pretty good too (I think I remember some LCD Soundsystem and MGMT.)

  • Claire Y.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this little wine bar as we were strolling about on St. Marks, looking for a place to quench our thirst one late afternoon. Well, what was intended to be a random, quick fix actually turned out to be incredibly enjoyable two hours of great Cosmos (the cute bartender was very accommodating in fixing up my drink the way I wanted it) and Yuengling (my friend's pseudo-God of beers... ah, men). Great atmosphere, great crowd, great music selections, and great menus (though, unfortunately, I had no room left for any of their food after having gorged at Cafe Orlin moments before). I'd like to revisit it for the wine and small plates.... soon.

    (5)
  • Cristina R.

    My favorite bar in the city (brooklyn not withstanding.) Generous pours, excellent 2 for 1 happyhour (hard to find with wine!) and a great atmosphere. This is my favorite place to bring a book and kill a few hours.

    (5)
  • Jeff C.

    Peace in the city! Not many places offer a great atmosphere along with great drinks and a great staff. I hesitate to tell people of this place because it's my great escape from everything & everyone. My all time favorite. I can't say enough good things about it. Thanks!!!

  • Megan M.

    Ten Degrees is a fantastic bar. We hosted my husband's 30th birthday here and it was the perfect mix of ambiance, low-key vibe, and reasonable prices. I worked with Moti to coordinate the details and pre-order food. Moti was attentive and responsive in planning the event, and our server that night (whose name I did not catch, but she was great) was also very attentive and had good drink recommendations for our group. All in all, we were very happy with the experience and would celebrate future events here. Additionally, I have been here twice on a week night when they had a sexy Brazilian band playing live music. Highly recommend!

  • Sejal D.

    We love this place for Saturday afternoons. The happy hour specials are great and the atmosphere is laid back yet dimly elegant. The bartenders are extremely friendly and helpful in choosing a wine. This is a nice place for a drink date or casual meetup.

  • Morgan W.

    Turns out, they also have a 2 for 1 happy hour until 8pm - score! Dropped in last Friday night for a few cocktails. It was a great spot and they serve up some yummy STRONG drinks, you absolutely get your money's worth. They have decent alcohol selection, having Hendrick's on hand is usually a sign of a good spot. I will definitely head back there.

    (5)
  • Ted L.

    I'm not a big wine guy. After happy hour ends, the beer prices here are obscene (~$7 for a Blue Moon on tap? Seriously?). They had great live music though.

  • H T.

    i want to rate them, but i dont like writing reviews, but i want to kick up their rating...blah. ok, so i'll write something. ive (surprisingly) been frequenting the spot 10 degrees currently resides in for a while now, going back to open air (i skipped the morrisey park era). i was initially just drawn to the wide open doors in the summertime and that couch they have that faces onto the street. but when i sunk in one day for a drink, i was happily surprised by the chill bartenders and relaxing environment, and have been going back ever since...even after i moved out of the area. unlike some other comments i've read, i've yet to personally ever come across bad service. as a matter of fact, they've actually always been pretty attentive to my liquoring needs...they seem to have their "hes sobering-up" radar engaged at all times. maybe i've been very fortunate, but i'd like to think that it's just that kind of place.

    (4)
  • Anonymou S.

    What?? An upscale, NON-pretentious wine bar in New York?? Get out! Believe it or not, it exists thanks to 10 Degrees. Now, don't mistake "upscale" for trendy or fancy... I just mean it's a nice, clean place that's not a hole in the wall and doesn't rely on any obnoxious gimmicks. This is a chill place with surprisingly good food and friendly service. Oh yeah, and most importantly, a respectable list of alcoholic beverages!

    I just had my birthday party here with about 15 friends and I have to say that is was GREAT! It was my first time at 10 Degrees and I would definitely, without a doubt, go back. I had touched base with the owner before coming and he set everything up for us - there was no problem with people getting in, he delivered on this promises, our dedicated waitress was great and VERY attentive and the overall experience was just fantastic. If you're looking for a cool wine bar to chill with friends, relax, have great drinks (the mojitos were awesome) in a cool atmosphere that is very NYC, I would highly recommend 10 Degrees. Will be coming back!

  • Karen B.

    went here to grab drinks w/a friend one thursday night and had a great time. bartender/servers very cool/friendly/helpful. we had some meat and cheese thing, although i couldnt' tell you which one. we wanted the cheddar, but they were out, so the bartender recommended something better that was "on par with cheddar" .... in fact, though, it was under par (which is actually better than on par ;) ....served with kalamata and giant green olives that were unusually delicious. a very nice evening indeed. couches if you can snag one, or table seating for two, or just grab a stool at the bar. super duper.

    (5)
  • Nikki A.

    I like this bar mostly for its cocktail selection. It's very old-school with things like mint juleps, manhattans, tom collins and gimlets. You won't find the word "pomegranate" anywhere on the menu. Good happy hour deals. Great for a date or with friends!

    (4)
  • Sasha B.

    A very cute spot to hit up on a cold winter night...it is so cozy inside! I really like the decor and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. It isn't too big so perfect to come enjoy mellow drinks. The Cabernet I had was a really good cab but my only problem with this place is the $$$. The Cabernet was a house Cabernet and maybe the only one on the list and I think it was $15 a glass....we were lucky because we happened to be there during happy hour (5-7 on Sunday) so we got 2 for 1. Otherwise it's a bit overpriced considering how many other ''wine spots'' there are in the neighborhood and the city in general.

  • bo w.

    Cool place, nice drinks and great atmosphere. The service was slightly lacking, slow and not too interested, but it was the day after Christmas. We had the Avocado toast which was suprisingly awesome. I would give five stars but we did not eat here and the service could have been a little better. But defo worth a try!!!

  • Joey M.

    Classy little establishment. Came here on a Sunday night and had a few glasses of sangria. The dim lighting and chill music made it. I felt so comfortable there. Not pretentious at all. Go with a few friends for conversation and chill time.

  • Mike Skinz Z.

    some weekdays are nice but weekends you can avoid the wine by the glasses have not changed since it first opened the wines by the bottle are decent the decor is nice, but only the front of the house the redeeming quality of this place are the bartenders sit at the bar if you go

  • Monster I.

    This has been my fave neighborhood happy hour spot for a while now. great for weeknight delicious wine happy hour and cheese plate. 2-for-1 deal regardless of what your drinkin (danger lurks if you are two girls with 2 bottles and 8am work...) Tonight was the first night i went for dinner and drinks not just drinks n well um cheese. i got the ten degrees panini that came w/fresh salad. everything was under 10 dollars and satisfaction. playlist was chill bumps too. i recommend for bffs, work buds, lovers, dates, church groups...

    (5)
  • Alhan K.

    I like the classy look, the relaxed vibe, and quality wine. It's a good place to go when you are only 2 or 3, more difficult with larger groups as space is limited and the bar area is the coolest.

  • Emeterio H.

    Randomly ended up here this afternoon after walking around east village and alpha city. Was getting a bit thirsty and saw the 2-4-1 sign. Good start. Then I looked a bit harder and saw the open door seating. Grabbed a table and ordered some drinks. Overall an enjoyable spot with a relaxed vibe. They seem to play descent music at times and then random music at other times. The 2-4-1 happy hour until 8pm help make this spot more enjoyable. I would stop by again if in the neighborhood. Did not get to try the food, but will next time.

  • L L.

    what a fun place! great crowd, a little on the small side, great selection, great service and just overall good time. sangria and cocktails were delicious. manager was helpful and even took reservation on a busy friday night as long as we promised to show up on time and when we did, our table was ready. pretty impressive especially given the place is far from large. i knocked off one star because we went on a warm warm night and the red wine was definitely kept at right temperature and did not taste right. other than that, had great experience here - def would go back.

    (4)
  • Ann H.

    I feel neutral about this place. It's a good spot to grab a drink and chat it up (I take it I missed out on any live music) but I can't seem to rave about anything in particular. It's definitely not pretentious so for a wine bar that's a plus but the wine list itself wasn't anything out of the ballpark.

    (3)
  • Len R.

    $9-14 glasses, $300 for Dom. Pretty decent but not amazing - we had two $12 glasses of sparkling and neither particularly impressed.

  • B ..

    A good place for a relaxed night out. I had 2 glasses of Sangria for $10 which were delicious! Great service from the bartender and a decent amount of places to sit since we had a group of about 10 people. Great for people watching since the bar is set up in a square like manner- saw some people with eclectic hairstyles and clothing. The area is also really nice and surrounded by some good late night eats post drinking.

    I can't wait to go back to Ten Degrees. The first time I landed in this cozy East Village wine bar, I knew it wouldn't be my last. Granted, I was already kind of tipsy, so my judgment was slightly impaired, but beer goggles aside, the wine was delicious and the staff was extremely helpful and attentive. It was late on a Saturday night, so it was a bit hard to get a table but seats opened up at the bar. The place was pretty packed, but the crowd was really chill and everyone kinda kept to themselves. It looked like mostly dates and small groups. My second visit was premeditated and driven by the offer of live jazz. It was awesome. The perfect place for a cute, cozy evening. The jazz was really good and not too loud to talk or hear over. The waitress who served us was hilarious and again, extremely helpful. She recommended a delicious wine and a cheese, meat, and olive platter. It was presented very nicely and was the perfect little bite to go along with the wine. The main space is kinda small, but, I think they also have a bigger space in the back to accommodate larger parties. Ten Degrees is the perfect place for a romantic date, a low-key night out with friends, and an unassuming place to hear great jazz.

    My usual weekend routine consists of a night out on Saturday that leads into a lovely Sunday morning of swearing off alcohol for the rest of my life. This deep-rooted hatred typically fades around 3 or 4 pm when my roommate and I start to convince ourselves that maybe having a little hair of the dog will help alleviate the head pounding. By 4:30 pm we're posted up at the bar of Ten Degrees. Ten Degrees has quickly become my favorite bar in the city. You can't beat the 2-for-1 happy hour (includes ALL drinks) that runs til 8 every day of the week or the amazing bartenders who are always quick to refill your glass. There's a bartender named Lee behind the bar Thursday - Sundays who makes a mean Moscow Mule and will make sure that you're well taken care of. A+++++, Ten Degrees....see you next Sunday.

    Still the best place in NYC for 2 for 1 drinks, but the dark haired female bartender needs a serious attitude adjustment. I came here yesterday with nine of my friends and she was being rude and ignoring people. I had to send my fiance to order the drinks because she seemed to overlook anyone who had a vagina. I haven't come here on a Sunday in a long time and have come on Saturdays more often than anything - the blonde female bartender is awesome! I still love Ten Degrees but a moody bartender doesn't make for a great Sunday Funday and it doesn't make me want to tip either.

    This place is worthy of its 4 star reviews - decent drinks at understandable prices, friendly bartenders and attentive service, and there is always a place to sit. However, the vibe is a bit all over the place - it's a mix of wine bar plus speakeasy plus dance club. It's 2015....time to stick to one!

    this has been my secret happy hour place since my girlfriends introduced it to me. I never never left here and remembered how i got home and well thats a great thing sorry not sorry. the happy hour is so good it gets packed and sometimes standing room only and the service can be hit or miss.But i went last week and LEE was the bartender and although he was busy my water glass was always refilled without asking and that for me is major!!As a former bartender i dont get paid to serve water i get paid to serve cocktails LOL so i appreciate when water is given and refilled without asking. LEE was super attentive on getting us drinks so my review is to say in a business where your not appreciated at all i want to take a moment to say thank you for allowing me to have yet another great experience there!

    Great place! Ten Degrees has an amazing happy hour deal every night: two for one of any drink, including bottles. Because of this it is often crowded on weekends, but don't let that scare you away, because it's definitely popular for a reason. The service is excellent, and they don't rush you. The food is good, too! A special shout out to or really cool waitress Hannah, who has always been helpful, awesome, and everything we want in a server! Since I've started coming here, she's made the experience especially wonderful! Check it out!

    Definitely go for the happy hour: buy one get one FREE. Drink many rounds of the jalapeño margarita. Starts off with a gradual spice that peaks and punches your taste buds. It slows down and you end on the much needed refreshing and slightly sweet note. I have a high heat tolerance and it meets my expectations so if you can't handle spice, order something else. It's my favorite jalapeño margarita in NYC. Ambiance is cool, a little more upscale than the other saint marks bars. If I took people on dates (which I clearly don't), I would take them here. Also nice for a girl's catch up sesh. Definitely try the very back room.... Service back there is awfully slow though..............

    Went there for an engagement party on April 6, 2013 a Saturday. Held in the back room of the bar. The dimly lit room room was nice enough: adequate seating, decorative touches and ambiance. Service was attentive, the appetizers were average, pretty good bar nosh overall, the sliders were a tad on the salty side, but in a bar setting that is not a surprise. Overall its not a large place but there is a welcoming atmosphere and I would definitely go back.

    Great place to grab a drink with amazing service. The place was packed and Hannah could not have been more accommodating to our table. She was funny, sweet, and she kept the drinks flowing! Can't wait to go back!!!

    I came here for a girls night and it was such a good time. It's definitely small but if you go early enough you'll be able to secure one of the couches for the night. Music was great but it wasn't blaring, it was wonderful to actually be able to hear one another and catch up. The happy hour is awesome because it's 7 days a week from 12 -8. Where else does this happen in NYC?! (Hint: nowhere!) We had many drinks which were mixed nicely, I suggest the Tom Collins and gimlet. We also got the charcuterie plate, pasta with some sort of ragu, and French fries. All of which were satisfying. This may be my new after work spot!

    2 FOR 1 EVERYDAY UNTIL 8! From first dates to full on parties, I've enjoyed this place every time. Cocktails are strong! Wine menu is on point. Food I can live without, but their sister restaurant is better. Better still, the owner is so lovely! Back room is great for a party.

    Celebrated my 24th birthday here this past weekend and it was amazing! A friend and I reserved the space in the back (a minimum needs to be met to do this). We had about 50 or so people come and the place didn't feel cramped or too tight. We had great service as all of our guests had a drink in their hand at all times. If you're looking to do a small get together, this is the spot to host it at.

  • Caty S.

    My friends and I were here on a Monday for their 2 for 1 happy hour and a cheese plate. There was only one server on the floor (Hannah), so service was understandably slow. We felt so bad that Hannah had no support besides one busboy on the floor; it seemed like everyone in the bar needed something and she didn't stop moving the whole time we were there. The cheese portions were super generous and I appreciated the detailed descriptions on the menu.

  • Sharon Y.

    Cute spot with good music picks, but I went there yesterday night, and there was no AC, which to be entirely fair, the bouncer warned us about before we entered. At first they had the large front window open, but later they closed it. Combined with a large crowd, it was really quite unpleasant, and the humidity was what I would expect from a dance spot more than a bar. `

    I recently held an event here for my birthday. I worked with Moti in booking the private back room - he was extremely thorough, patient and efficient. Everything went really smoothly. The backroom is awesome (has two bathrooms!) and we had our own waitstaff. It comfortably fits 40-50 people. The entire staff (even the bouncer!) was friendly and the food was delicious. The music was also really good too. Moti will work with you to customize your event and always answered my emails in a timely manner. It is free to book the room, you just need to hold it with a credit card in case no one shows up/for incidentals. My only critique is that there could have been more indication that the room was in fact in use for a private event. There were paper signs on the door that stated 'private event' which soon got ripped down by the crowds. All around great time though - good vibes and fun atmosphere.

    The moment we got out of our cab we were greeted by everyone in the bar. We just wanted to get into our apartment since we had a late flight but how can you resist a welcome like that. Right when we got in we couldn't even find a spot to sit because it was so packed (probably because it's such a good place). RYAN the bartender pointed a spot out for us to sit down. Not only did he recommend a very good beer but made us feel very welcome. We have decided to have at least one drink every night we are here before we leave because of RYAN. I highly recommend this place not only for the great customer service but they have really tasty beers on tap and the atmosphere is great!!

  • Tiffany W.

    This place is great in that it's not packed with tons of people and being super loud. There is a broad selection of cocktails, beers, and wines. Although it is pretty dark in here to even read the menu. I got the rose sangria, which was okay. I wished it was sweeter. When you kept drinking it ended up tasting like water by the end. BUTTT I think it could have been from trying my friend's drink. She got the jalepeno infused margarita. You can definitely feel the burn in your throat from those jalepenos. I would definitely suggest getting the grapefruit juice (optional). My friend had a hard time drinking it even with it (It came as an after thought for her to add it though). Overall, good place to chill and will be back again.

    If you're trying to have a fun but not INSANE night, this is a great place to go in the east village. The happy hour is great, and the bartenders are all super friendly and accommodating. I came here with the intention of showing my Italian friend around, and this bar definitely did a good job. The cozy and classy atmosphere is one of the best things, and surprisingly, they were playing some of the hottest jams. At first I thought it was a tiny bit off-putting considering the overall low-key feel of the place, but it turned out to be really fun! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a comfortable little spot to grab a few.

    I went to 10 degrees Saturday night with a friend and had such a positive experience. The bartender poured us a great drink, unlike other bars where you feel like they forgot the liquor. It was pouring rain and we asked him if he had an extra umbrella in back and searched and found us one. We will definitely will be going back to this bar and suggest everyone does as well! There are also great happy hour deals!

  • Aurelie M.

    We took an amazing cocktail : The Montparnasse (made with French Apple Brandy) and it was so good! We took twice so it was good! It was my first time in this place. I went several times without stopping but always saying that I should try because of the decoration, atmosphere and the Happy Hour of course.

  • Jesse F.

    Come for the drinks, stay for the drinks, leave for some food. Buy one, get one drink free until 8 is an awesome happy hour. There's a good wine and cocktail menu. The bar area was packed by 6:30 on a Thursday, but there's an additional back room with some couch seating. The guacamole was... oddly presented. It tasted fine, but was served on a plate with a handful of crackers and sides of sour cream and salsa. It's a little tricky to eat off a plate.

  • Devin G.

    Came in with about 8 friends on a Friday night for their happy hour deal (buy one get one drinks til 8pm). Was pretty packed at the bar, great wine selection. Cozy feel especially during the winter months. We eventually moved further back to a table, didn't order food but overall this was a solid happy hour spot!

  • Karen X.

    Made a reservation here for a group for a friends birthday and they put us in a very nice corner with lots of seating and a table by the window in from for the evening. The place itself is pretty small and especially on a weekend night can get pretty loud and crowded, but it was a fun time! Drinks are on the expensive end though but reasonably good!

  • Ruxi V.

    It's a cool bar. I went there on a Friday night, so it looked like it's a "happening place". At some point it was PACKED. Like sardines. But then again, the bar is on St. Marks. I got two Manhattans. Very good both. If you have a date, skip this place; it's super-loud. Great for groups, if you can handle the squeeze. The crowd is under 40.

  • Karry L.

    I love their happy hours daily from noon to 8pm, compared to most places are til 7pm, and not only that, it's anything from the menu including cocktails(extensive list), beers and good selections of wines. I won't say i'm a regular but i witnessed few bartenders come and go, some makes awesome mojitos and margaritas and some just mediocre, I'm not a big fan when it gets really crowded and loud so i'm very selective when to come! bar seats are always my fav and it's comfortable, there's plenty of small 2 person tables extending to the back of the room, and a private room in the back for small party. All in all, i still love this bar and its awesome HH :)

  • Katherine C.

    Came here for my friend's engagement party. Loved the place! So intimate and the service was great. We packed up the front and had some small bites (not bad at all!) and whiskey. Will definitely check it out next time we're around the area!

  • Ingrid S.

    I have to say, I'm seeing a lot of complaints on monetary issues with this place. And I will admit so far, the 2 times that I have been here there was a pretty huge issue with the bill. The first time I was with a larger group of girlfriends and we split 2 2 for 1 pitchers of sangria. Which should come out to $60 plus tax and tip. Our bill was way over $90. I ended up paying twice the amount I should have. The second time I came here last night I ended up getting 1 2 for 1 pitcher of sangria split amongst three people. Our bill came out to $50 not including tax and tip. And not only that problem occurred but when we were figuring out our bill and collecting change the bartender yelled at us for not tipping him completely when we hadn't even finished paying. Such a lack of respect and such complete horse shit. Not coming back to this place ever again. *Additional Note: The Manager graciously noticed the mix up with the billing of our evening last week here. There was only one additional drink added on perhaps in a mix up with people we were with. But it isn't the end of the world. The only true complaints of the night I would say were with the service of the bartender. I will however stand by firmly with being over-charged my first time being here.

    This bar is a neighborhood gem. I booked an area for my birthday last night again after having it here back in 2011 and had the most amazing time (again). The drinks are delicious, the atmosphere is trendy but casual, the service was personable and prompt. This place is great for happy hours after work, grabbing drinks mid-day (2 for 1 drinks in the day time), but also amazing for special events like birthdays and celebrations. Moti was such a pleasure to work with when organizing my party. For anyone hesitating to book a celebration here, don't! You won't regret it. They are booked out quickly but they do have a new restaurant called ten degrees bistro that is also available for big party bookings. Can not recommend this place enough & I will continue to be a loyal patron.

    Best happy hour(s) in the LES. I continue to frequent 10 degrees because Lee is an expert and kills it behind the bar. -Atlantic City in the house

  • Amelia M.

    Great happy hour deals with 2-4-1 drinks. I thought my drinks were pretty good (not good if I was actually paying $12/drink but ok with the specials), but the food was definitely disappointing, served cold, which probably explains why no one around us had any. I felt bad for our server because the place was severely understaffed - she kindly gave our table a round of free shots.

  • Vienna H.

    I want to thank Moti for replying quickly to my emails and being very accommodating. I had my birthday here over the weekend and had the front lounge reserved. I forgot the waitress's name but she had curly red hair and she was awesome! She was very attentive despite the fact that the bar was PACKED! They had 2 for 1 until 8pm and my group took advantage of that. As long as you order the 1 drink before 8pm, they can serve the other drink from the 2 for 1 deal later.

  • Emilie S.

    Ten Degrees has arguably the BEST happy hour in all of Manhattan. The reason I say this is because every. single. drink. is two for one during happy hour. You're not limited to a cheap beer + shot combo like many other bars (which are great, sometimes, but I'm not always in the mood for that). The two for one even goes for bottles of wine (and they have a lot of good wines to choose from). They have several specialty cocktails that are worth the $10 price (again, Manhattan), so getting two for that price feels like a banging deal. Besides the happy hour deal, the other great thing about Ten Degrees is the staff. Let me backtrack and explain that a friend and I stumbled upon Ten Degrees just because we work in the area, and the two-for-one deal lured us inside. The service, however, has been consistently so amazing that it is now our weekly haunt. I've never been a barfly to the point of knowing bartenders' names, but this one dude has been so consistently rad that--not only do I know his name, but I signed up on yelp to write this very first review. Ryan is a Norse god-looking creature with a ready smile and even quicker drink pours. He's always friendly without seemingly like he's "working it" just for the tip (you know the type of bartender I'm talking about). He mixes delicious cocktails, and remembers details from your last conversation. He's everything you'd ever want in a bartender. (Also, I know I'm kind of gushing but just for perspective, I have a girlfriend and my friend is married, so it's not about his looks--that was just so if you go there, gentle reader, that you'd recognize his blonde, tall, built self). There is another bartender there whom I absolutely love as well, but at the time of writing I can't remember her name. Curses! The only reason I'm giving Ten Degrees 4 out of 5 stars is because although I LOVE this spot for weekly happy hours, it gets crazy packed on weekend nights. I know that's not their fault (in fact, it's good for the bar) but personally I hate crowded, loud spots. So if you're looking for an understated, chill, weekday happy hour spot, I can't recommend this place enough. And tip Ryan well for me, he deserves it :)

    Drinks were good. Reasonable price. Went there for happy hour with some girlfriends. Very quick service from the bartender, nice strong drinks. I would go back there again if I visit the city soon. It is definitely an outdoor summer bar though. Not sure I would be interested in the winter

  • Janis M.

    This place ROCKS! It was our first night in New York and we had a HORRIBLE dining experience at a different restaurant. We had a cabbie drop us off on the strip where this bar is located and we just wanted to drink our crappy dinner experience away. We basically decided to come in this bar because it looked crowded and...well, warm....it was FREEZING outside! Once we got in, my boyfriend started chatting it up with Moti - who turned out to be the owner. My BF told him about our bad dining experience and Moti asked if we were still hungry. When we told him that we were, he got us a table and proceeded to bring out the most amazing bar food we have ever had! We had grilled cheese bits, burgerettes and pasta. And this was no ordinary kind of stuff... everyone that walked by our table couldn't help but stop and stare. The service was exceptional, the server was super attentive and Moti even hung out with us for a bit. All in all, this place completely turned our night around and we were as happy as can be. The food was good, the people were fun and Moti and his staff definitely know what they are doing. I would come back here over and over again if I didn't require me to take a plane over here for a jolly good time! Way to go Ten Degrees. Cheers!

  • Flora H.

    Ten Degrees is a great place to meet friends for drinks (although not too many friends because we had a group of 14 and it was a challenge given the small size of the space. The vibe and decor are great - dark, romantic, classy... just very NYC (I say that because I was visiting from LA). It was the perfect place to have drinks my one night in town and feel like I had had the New York experience. There's a great cocktail and wine list, and prices are reasonable. My only complaint is the service... it is quite difficult to get the server's attention (she is very good at ignoring you or pretending she doesn't see you) and then once you do order, it takes a while for your drink to come out. Granted it was a packed Saturday night so it might have been the same case anywhere.

  • Natasha H.

    5 stars for the avocado toast (literally come every Thursday for it) and the awesome bartender Ryan. He's super friendly and attentive but knows exactly when to give you space whether your eating alone - like me :(, or enjoying drinks with a group. I never write reviews so trust me when I say ten degrees (Ryan!) is worth coming to LES for, no matter where you live in NYC (even you Staten Island peeps).

  • William M.

    I came to ten degrees for the first time a few nights ago and have been back every night since!! Even though the food and drink were exceptional it was the bartenders that made me come back. Ryan and Abby both were amazing! Ryan recommender and made perfect drinks and took the time to talk all night. Abby also made the time for conversation and recommended the perfect meal from the menu. These two are incredible and will keep my business for years to come.

    Absolutely loved this place! Great drinks and nice atmosphere. I went with coworkers and had a blast. We used the back room and it felt private. Advice: book the room ahead of time. I do wish the waitress checked in with us more often, didn't try the food.

  • Michael W.

    Read about this place on Thrillist's list of best bars in East Village and it was as shlick as they wrote. Buzzing atmosphere. Unbelievable cocktails, and a playlist you'd wish your neighbor knew. Tad pricey, but most definitely worth it for a stop off on a bop up St. Marks Place.

  • Kc B.

    This place is one of my new happy hour spots. 2 for 1 drinks - 7 days a week from noon- 8. NOTHING can beat that. The strawberry margaritas will punch you in the face and literally make you forget that you had a rough day at work earlier. Get into the Guacamole too- its a must have, i promise. Lee is one of the most attentive & friendly bartender i ever saw, especially for a busy place. This guy is on point! The music here is also amazing. (although i wish more Beyonce would play)

  • Lyndsay M.

    Once upon a time, 10 Degrees was my go-to spot. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Whenever someone said they were headed to the East Village and didn't know where to go I immediately squealed "10 DEGREES HAS 2-for-1 DRINKS FROM NOON TO 8PM!" and that sealed the deal. I've been coming here for two years, but in the past eight months it's taken a turn for the worse. I'm wondering if it's because of Five Tacos next door, or the bistro around the corner, but it feels like the owners don't pay enough attention to 10 Degrees anymore. The food isn't as good as it used to be. The wait staff is usually rude. Even the bartenders, who were always so lovely, have been replaced by dbags who shout "You're cheap!" for wanting separate checks. One thing I always liked about 10 Degrees, apart from the drink deals and great food, was the atmosphere. Everyone was always so nice. I always met the best people there. More often than not I would get there after work around 6ish and not leave until 2am or later. It was always so much fun. Here's a perfect example of the type of person who drinks here now: My friends and I volunteer at an animal shelter on the weekends and today we decided to stop into 10 Degrees for lunch. We weren't planning on going there so we were still wearing our volunteer T-shirts. As we were leaving a 20-something-year-old girl stopped us and asked about the shirts. We explained. Her response? "F***ing weirdos." I rest my case. I know the neighborhood is changing (look at all the great places on Ave A that have closed down because their leases went up by so much) but 10 Degrees has lost its charm.

    I just hosted an event in the private room in the back of the bar this weekend, and from start to finish, it was perfect. Moti was easy, accommodating and responsive in booking the room and the service during our party was outstanding. We only had about 20 people, but it was the ideal space for us to mingle comfortably and actually be able to hear our conversations. The furniture made it cozy, and we especially appreciated that we could move it around as the party grew or wound down. Our waitress did an amazing job keeping up with our orders and making sure our drinks were refreshed all night and our food orders came out in a timely manner. We ordered the guac, some sliders, the avocado toast and the grilled cheese, which was especially awesome. And somehow, I have no idea how, she was able to accurately track everyone's individual tabs, making it easy and fast when it came time for everyone to close out and settle up.

  • Christina P.

    Great bar for after-work drinks! 2 for 1 wine, beer and cocktails until 8pm! It can't be beat! The cocktails are strong but also basic - mojito, lemon drop, old fashioned, etc. So don't come here if you are looking for something creative! Otherwise it's great!

  • Nicole R.

    Abby is seriously the best human I've ever met!!!! She was wearing a beanie and we were like yo Abby what's up with that and she was like oh we're all cool. But then we found out that Abby was the coolest. And like we were pretending it was Friday even though it was really Wednesday and she was going along with us because she is the absolute best!!!! Everyone loves her. If you get a waiter and his/her name isn't Abby you should ask for an immediate change. Abby all the way! Even on a Wednesday. #weloveabby

  • Henry Y.

    The cocktails here were quite good- I had the French 75 and my gf had one of the mojitos. We were there for a friend's birthday party so there were lots of people and I'd say the bar as a whole did a very good job at accommodating all of us. Wasn't too stocked about them closing the french windows on the outside wall to the point where it felt like we were all boxed in or something...but something tells me that you have to shutter outdoors areas after 11pm in the city. If you're in the mood to splurge it looks like they have some cheese and charcuterie plates-- though if you're really hungry I'd say check out Five Tacos 3 doors down. Amazing taco place.

  • Tiffany L.

    In love with this bar. If only it had better service, it'd be perfect. You can't beat their 2-for-1 Happy Hour Mon-Fri until 8PM. They have a nice selection of wines and everything is pretty affordable. The interior is romantic and dimly-lit, perfect for a date or to unwind after a particularly brutal day at work. Besides bar seating, there's some small tables and couches, as well as a private room towards the back. The wine bottles aligning the walls and flickering candlelight provide great ambiance. Their cocktails steer more towards the classics and are quite strong. French 75 was an excellent champagne cocktail and my favorite was The Montparnasse. Apple brandy, lemon juice, St. Germain and Sauvignon Blanc. They also have a nice beer list with even some local goodies. Try the River Horse which stems from Lambertville, NJ (yes, surprisingly, good beer can come from NJ) or the Ithaca Apricot Wheat. They also serve food -- mostly tapas, small plates, cheese and chocolates. Very vegetarian-centric. Our service was okay but our waitress seemed to be the human version of Grumpy Cat and immune to cracking a smile. When the service was slow she did apologize for the wait, however. She was the only waitress taking care of a very crowded bar, so I guess I'd be grumpy, too.

    Extended 2 for 1 happy hour everyday with great meat and cheese plates. Great during warmer months when windows and doors are wide open. Mixed drinks are ok, I usually stick with the wine here.

  • Vivian H.

    I honestly feel like I need another trip here in order to give a solid review. But so far so good! I came here Saturday evening for Happy Hour drinks with a friend. It was quite the crowd but we were able to snag a table in the back. Its dimly lit and pretty loud so don't expect to have a quiet evening here. The service was a bit slow but for once I was actually quite alright with it (maybe because I had been somewhere else prior). But if you're dying of hunger or super desperate of a drink ...maybe not the right place. My friend and I both had the 2-4-1 drink special, a red wine sangria for myself and a mixed cocktail for my friend. Drinks were delicious, great for the price but nothing to write home about (did I really just use that cliche?). All in all, I would come back here again but with the slower service in mind.

  • Robby C.

    Food was excellent, service was great but I give it one star because the air conditioner was broke and it became extremely hot and uncomfortable in the back room. It was a huge inconvenience having to walk in and out of the place to get some fresh air. Even with the fan going, it was really hot.

    Ten Degrees is my go to spot for happy hour in the city. The bartenders are always so attentive, the drinks are well made, and the food is equally as well prepared. No matter how crowded it gets Lee will always take care of you.

  • Vanessa M.

    I went here for a date. It was a little tight - it's clearly very popular - but the ambience was nice. Very dark with tea lights on each table. The cocktails were good, and we had a charcuterie plate that was amazing. I wouldn't recommend it for a date because it's super dark and kind of loud and tightly packed in BUT it would be great for meeting up with a friend or friendsss for drinks and snacks!

  • Andrew S.

    Consider me a new fan of this place. I stopped by for the first time last Sunday, tempted by the 2-for-1 drink sign outside, and left far from disappointed. In fact, I may have found a new favorite day drinking bar in the area. Until 8pm every day their drink list including top shelf cocktails are all 2 for 1. This takes a reasonable price for 1 drink, and makes it amazing for 2. We tried a range of drinks in the time that we were there, and the crowd was consistent and trendy, encouraging a great overall atmosphere. After our sampling, I recommend the Mint Julep and Sangria. The bartenders here are on top of their game and make each drink with an impressive level of care and precision. They also are not shy to pour with a heavy hand, a huge plus after being places where drinks are meticulously measured out. I didn't get around to trying any food, but if the drinks are any indication -it'll be great as well. Looking for any excuse to get back here soon.

    This place can be really hit or miss, but when it's miss it's a total pain in the ass. A few times I've rolled in after midnight when it's packed only to be completely ignored or have to fight for service. Is it table service or is it bar service only at that point? Well, all the tables are packed and there's only one bartender....you do the math... That being said, it's a pretty good last move with a date. Always solid music and decent enough wine to keep things going...

    Awesome happy hour deals - 2 for 1 deals even on weekends until 8pm. Good drink selection and good service. Guacamole was pretty good and sliders were ok. Would definitely come back for happy hour. Only bad thing was how loud it was.

    This place has one of the best happy hour for wine, well drinks, and beer downtown. There's 2 for 1 drinks from 12-8. The best bartender around is Ryan. Go wild people

    2 for 1 drinks at happy hour from 4pm - 8pm? Say what??? Of all the bar hopping I did, Ten Degrees Bar had been the most friendly to my already empty wallet. Don't think that during happy hour you're stuck with well drinks or beer, no sireee! You can order that $15 glass of Cab you've had your eye on, a $10 German Pilsner or one of their delicious cocktails. (most are made with top shelf alcohol too: Maker's Mark, St. Germain liqueur, etc) I wanted to get the party started since I haven't seen my friend Jenny W in 2 years. I was excited for my Caipirinha, made with cachaca, fresh lime and sugar on the rocks. It ended up being too sugary for my taste, so I made sure to down it right away and order another drink. The Tom Collins was much better: gin, lemon, sugar and club soda. It came with a cute Maraschino cherry too! I found myself ordering light, refreshing drinks because it was so warm out. Plus the happy, bumpy, 90's music just matched my overall mood too. The blonde bartender was pretty fast in making our cocktails, but have the Borat look alike bartender make your Tanqueray and Tonic and it's guaranteed to be STIFF! (um, pun intended?) he was hella flexing his biceps to please the two gay guys who were totally drooling over him. Yeah, I know he took his time in acknowledging our presence but what the heck! I enjoyed the show! ;-) If you can't get into PDT, come hang here instead. Guaranteed fun times for sure!

    Great happy hour 2-for-1 (literally, anything they have, 2-for-1), a cheese board and olive bowl my friends all nearly killed each other over, great look to the bar, great atmosphere, friendly bar staff and entertaining people watching... This is the kind of bar I'd run. On tap beer selection left a bit to be desired, but kudos for sticking strong to more obscure local beers.

    Held a private party for my boyfriends birthday here and the back room is amazing! It comes with two bathrooms, and the waitress for the night did an amazing job taking our drink orders. You can also plug in your own music which is a huge bonus. Moti, the owner was really responsive and easy to work with leading up to the event. Highly recommend!

  • Linz E.

    The 2 for 1 happy hour here cannot be beat! It applies to all the drinks on their menu, not just a small list of the well stuff. I came here with a friend around 6pm on a Monday. There were only a few people inside so getting a seat was easy enough, and getting a beer followed shortly thereafter. My chief complaints are the coffee shop vibe (so many patrons were sitting at the low slung couches with laptops and milking their drinks), and the bathroom being pretty gross. There was a puddle on the floor of what looked like water that grew throughout the evening even after the powers that be were alerted. So if you can hold it, don't urinate here. In the area this is one of the nicer bars with some of the best drink specials.

    This bar was freaking amazing. Why, you might ask? Because of something I like to call the trifecta: Great cocktails, excellent bartending, and on-point ambiance. First, the cocktails went above and beyond. Ryan, the bartender, should be sent to Hogwarts immediately because he is a beverage wizard (obvy he'd be in gryffindor). A bartender who actually knows what he's doing and delivers a cocktail THAT good deserves a standing ovation. The energy of the bar was also amazing. It was really chill, made you feel super comfortable, and the decoration and lighting of the place gets an A+. Keep up the awesome work ten degrees! You are KILLIN it out there.

    It's a nice place to sit and have a few drinks. They also have very good food with decent serving size. I sat in the back room with my friends and it was very nice. They have a comfy couch. We listened to music, talked and enjoyed our drinks and food.

    CHILL winebar with tables in the back but also standing room at the front!! i'd suggest getting a table if the host can manage to find you an empty one!! it's about $40 per bottle but they've got a limited selection but the wines are pretty good!! they also have LOTS of food choices but we only came thirsty!! ---ruhl semi dry riesling a bit sweet but good ---california rosso blend: also good! also noticed they have a back area that seemed to be more for private parties! COMING BACK FOR HAPPY HOUR because its 2 for 1 drink specials, much more bang for your buck!

    Ten Degrees Bar is a fantastic bar! The atmosphere is very laid back and the drinks are out of this world. Must try the cheese plate!! Totally delicious! Our host Paul was incredibly sweet and very friendly!! He helped us with cheese plate. It's so nice to go to a bar and have a host as nice and friendly as Paul help you with your drinks. He was also awesome to chat with!!

    We stopped in for Happy Hour on a Tuesday night. The decor of the bar is cool with wine bottles along the walls, and retro lighting. Connie greeted us at the bar and suggested and made killer cocktails. We had a great time in this friendly bar and highly recommend Ten Degrees anytime, especially at HH. The HH is half off all beer, wine and cocktails from 4:00 to 8:00. They also have a food menu but did not order food.

    I really like this place and try to visit often. It's excellent that the 2 for 1 runs all week long from noon until 8pm. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon catch-up with an old friend. The guac is still tasty, but perhaps could be served with some better quality tortilla chips. The cheese offerings are pretty generous and more than enough for a snack. Make sure you leave by 6 or so, because even on a Sunday it gets packed with 22 year olds who apparently have just leaned about alcohol. The volume level gets high and it can become difficult to carry on a conversation when the "loud girls" (read: attention seekers) take over. Yikes.

    Ryan was a great host, just flew in from LA and he gave me some pointers on where to go, happy to point to the next spot although 10 degrees was sufficient enough. Normally I look for craft cocktails and this place was able to fill the void. Great whiskey and good mixed drinks, plus a great atmosphere. Will come back every time I'm in NYC

  • Kim D.

    So I may be a bit biased since I just happen to come on a day one of the bartenders were leaving and he was super nice and in a good mood so he gave us one of the best service we had. I wanted some scotch and my friends wanted a good cocktail so we stumbled across this place after doing some happy hours elsewhere. I was ecstatic to see that they had a nice selection of scotch and got me one of my favs neat while my friends tried some of their signature cocktails. It was their 2-4-1 happy hour so their drinks were two for one...and I think he accidently put mine on there too...and pours were pretty freaking generous. I was nice enough to ask if that was the right bill and if he got all our drinks on there since I was covering drinks for my friends too. 5 drinks and generous pours later it was only a little over $50...and I KNOW my scotch alone should've been more. Pretty awesome

    I enjoyed this bar. Came here for happy hour on a Friday night with some girlfriends, and it was pretty crowded. We were able to find a couch in the back room to squeeze all 4 of us on, but if we hadn't found that prime real estate, I doubt we would have stayed. We also decided not to order food since we didn't really have a table to eat on, so I can only comment on the drinks and atmosphere. The 2-for-1 Happy Hour is pretty clutch. The drinks are pretty expensive when it's not happy hour, so this is a great deal. The drinks were great - I had a Tom Collins which I LOVEDDD, and a French 75 which was great, not as good as the Tom, but a good drink. My lady-friends all enjoyed their drinks as well - they were all pretty strong, so we were nice and happy :) Our waitress(es?) were pretty hands off, coming by every now and again, but we didn't mind since we were catching up on girl talk and not trying to flag them down for anything. There are 2 small bathrooms - they are extremely clean, which I was pleasantly surprised about. Overall this is a solid place and I would definitely come back for happy hour with a small group.

    I organized an event in the back room for a major holiday and couldn't have been more pleased. In fact, I'm so pleased with it, I refuse to list the holiday so it doesn't come up should someone search for a venue to host an event on the same day. Why? Because I might host the same event there next year. We worked with Moti, an awesome individual who had a ton of patience with us, as we tried to herd a large group of friends together. He had a separate bar set up for us in the back room with a solid rotation of solid free appetizers coming through via waitresses. The biggest memory I have from a very blurry night is just how damn nice the whole staff was. They really were part of the party, which only amplified the evening. Things got rowdy, and they didn't freak out. Instead, they jumped in. I value this, especially given the holiday. Highly recommended.

    Love this place -- my go-to happy hour joint on St. Marks. 2-for-1 on all drinks runs until 8pm, even on weekends. It gets pretty crowded sometimes, but you can usually find a spot no matter when you go. Also good for larger parties in the back room which is more like a dark lounge area. Service can be slow at times (particularly food takes forever to come out), but they'll always get to you eventually -- relax and enjoy the ride. Servers are always really nice and helpful. I met the owner once too, and he's also a super nice, stand-up guy that really cares about his establishments.

    Guys the place was prob great, but now it's not so. Both times I've been here they've been "out of draft beer" unapologetically. Like get some more beer if people are ordering it. Am I right? Also, all the bathroom door handles spin in circles and the music is loud so I'm not sure if I'm waiting to pee behind a ghost or a patron. #fixit

    I came here for the first time yesterday just after 6pm and the place was jamming. The waitress sat us down immediately and we ordered champagne to start. The music was good and not too loud like some bars can be during happy hour... Irena our server told us that our second drink was part of the 2-4-1 deal so it was on the house (apparently they do this 7 days a week until 8pm!) soooo more champagne thanks! Eventually we moved from our table to the edge of the bar for some guacamole and more drinks. Lee the bartender (who recommended and whipped up a great Old Fashioned) was really friendly and was cracking us up with jokes while he pumped out all these different cocktails for the rest of the bar. The place was really buzzing and reminded me of why I moved to NYC. Definitely coming back here when I'm in the E Village!

    Pros: great cocktail selection for 2-for-1 Happy Hour! (EVERYDAY until 8 PM) Cons: gets really crowded Tips: there is a private room at the back that can hold like 30-40 people! you pay for the more expensive one of the two u order during the happy hr The ambiance is very cozy romantic and low-key: dark, candle lit tables, and dark wood decor! This would be a good place to have a daty date over great cocktails. :) I've tried a few of their foods and cocktails; (Cocktails) - French 75: a lil bit of fizz and acidic, very girly, as the name suggests. - Godiva chocolate and raspberry vodka: chocolaty heaven with cookie crumbs on top as garnish. - Campari: comes in a flute, champagne based. - Lemon Drop Martini: this thing is vicious! sweet on the mouth and gets u hammered after 2!!! lol (Foods) - Panini: comes with a small side of greens. The portion is quite small, but good stuff. :) - Guac: portion is huge enough to be shared among 3-4. Comes with store-bought chips but it's still good! :) - Tomato Pasta: I actually liked it. Nothing too impressive, just a pool of tomato sauce with penne, but fills ur stomach and prevents u from getting hammered. The staff are attentive enough the get the alcohol flow. :) I love this place. It's a good place to meet up with friends after a long day of work and complain our lives over drinks. :)

    Ten Degrees is a decent bar in the East Village, with a pleasant ambiance and reasonable access to bartenders. I came for a birthday party with fifteen to twenty other people, and we were able to get comfortable with a mix of high tables and standing room. I liked the moody lighting, and the noise level was moderate. We were able to hear each other without any issues. I would have liked Ten Degrees better if its prices were lower or its drinks were more interesting. The drink menu featured several named cocktails that were essentially mixed drinks you could get at any dive for $7. They weren't bad, but they should not have cost $11. I tried the Rye & Ginger and the Dougie's Mix, which were sort of kindred drinks. The Rye & Ginger was just rye whiskey topped with ginger ale, and Dougie's Mix was Maker's Mark with ginger beer on the rocks. I might try those recipes at home, as they were pretty straightforward and easy enough to drink. There were a few beers on tap, and I finished my night with a glass of RastafaRye Ale, a decent copper draft. I had a good time at Ten Degrees, and if it were my slightly overpriced corner bar, I might go back. The drinks weren't bad, and I did enjoy the vibe.

    I really like Ten Degrees. Whenever I have been there has been a jovial fun atmosphere. The music is not obtrusive but gives some ambience. They have a decent cocktail selection and carry plenty of different beers, wines and liquors. The bar staff are attentive and pleasant. In the summer they open up the front and it is a great spot to people watch. There is a back room which seems mostly to be used for private parties. The rest of the bar feels cozy and welcoming. They have a bistro around the corner also which is owned by the same people. St Mark's has many good bars to choose from but this place is so consistently enjoyable that I often go back.

    After reading Ruggy's (you know who you are) review I had to stop by. So I did. And then I had a good time. Okay that is not the full review. But if that is all you read, then you probably know who Ruggy is and therefore is venturing there AS WE SPEAK or rather AS YOU READ. Ten Degrees Bar is situated very close to the East Village (PARTY, DRINK, WOOT WOOT, followed by DRINK, DRNK some more, PUKE...well for all those that CAN'T hold their liquor...Not I...). The ambiance was OH so romantic (what is up with these romantic spots I'm finding yet when I needed them they were nowhere to be found...FFS). You are lead into a dim-lit comfort space where you are greeted by tall tables with seats to your left, little couch stools on your right, the bar also to your right but dead center, and a long narrow aisle leading to an EVEN MORE romantic/secluded portion of the bar with low rise tables/seats. Oh yea there are also SEATS at the bar. Point being, THERE ARE SEATS. I like the classy yet low key vibe in this bar with all the wines being prominently displayed opposed to just your standard premium tequilas, vodkas, rums, gin, etc. I was very tempted at ordering food but I didn't. I will next time though. This is the ONLY bar that has Happy Hour 7 DAYS A WEEK! Well that I know of. If that is not enough to get your punk a$$ over there...add your own analogy. More specifically, 12-8pm (can someone say GO TO SPOT? I can). 2 FOR 1 DRINKS on ALL DRINKS? And that is PER PERSON I'm so F' THERE!!! My friend and I came on an off night. By off I mean EARLY because they got real busy soon after. Still on a Tuesday Afternoon it still gave me a nice semi quiet vibe where you can hear the other person speak and not have to shout while enjoy other voices mumbling in the background. I will speak more on other days as I revisit. Our lady waitress was ATTENTIVE and NICE. Solid Service. I order 2 drinks. Both the MONTPARNASSE (Calvados apple brandy, St. Germain, Sauvignon Blanc and splash of lemon juice) and Campari Champagne (Campari, Champagne, sugar, and orange twist) kicked my a$$. Yeah they are STIFF and I like it. Apparently, I was a lightweight that night as well. GOOD NIGHT.

    One of my favorite happy hour spots. Their 2-for-1 deal til 8pm is very popular so be sure to come by early to get a spot for your group. My most memorable time here was for my 24th birthday last summer. I got in touch with Moti through the Ten Degrees website and easily sealed a reservation for a group of 15-20 people. It involved a generic guarantee form to ensure that my party will spend at least $250 which is not a large amount at all considering the number of people who will be buying drinks. I had the spacious couches by the window waiting for me when I arrived and it was perfect. The AC was acting up but it wasn't so bad. The waitress was so apologetic of the noise and heat but it was totally fine. I tried a couple of cocktails and enjoyed them all. The waitress also double checked that I liked it before walking away to serve other guests. Another plus is that it's right by crif dogs :)

    Ambiance is really great, drinks/happy hour is fantastic & the staff is too. Gets crowded (so get there early!) but the staff has always been on point. Food menu was OK If you want to bring someone on a date, I highly recommend it. But all in all it's a fun spot.

    Wonderful spot for a party! I hosted my 34th birthday party at Ten Degrees in the back room over the weekend and everything was perfect. Approximately 25 people were in the room throughout the party and there was plenty of room and seats for people to sit or stand as they wished. The owner Moti was extremely friendly and helpful in scheduling the party and making sure everything was all set for us. On top of the great atmosphere, the bar has an amazing happy hour special from 12-8 (2-4-1 drinks!) and there are two options for food. You can order off of the menu from Ten Degrees, or you can plan ahead to order from Five Tacos, the related restaurant two doors down. I opted for having a taco bar from Five Tacos and am so glad I did - the food was fantastic, everyone loved it! I will definitely go back from time to time for the HH and highly recommend hosting your next event there!

    I love their 2 for 1 Happy Hour special that they have every day from 12 noon to 8 pm. Rather decent cocktail list and wine list. I rarely find it overly crowded. It's my go to place when I'm in the EV and need a somewhat quiet place to drink and talk with friends. Here you can drink well without having to be too spendy.

    I really like this place!! Bartenders are all awesome (and HOT, sadly for me the hottest is gay) and make some mean cocktails. Happy hour, can't beat it. 2x1 until 8, whaaaat. Non happy hour prices aren't a wallet killer either. Lots of seating around the bar and throughout the place. Now that it's nice out, they let in night air with a huge open window. Great when the place gets packed, it's not too hot. Crowd is mixed, some college kids make their way, but most seemed over the age of 23 and had jobs that they were drinking away their sorrows to. There is food served, the menu looked pretty good but I've only been there on drinking missions. I could see it being a great date place Sun-Weds when it wouldn't be crazy packed.

    Great east village wine bar with a fantastic 1/2 off happy hour special! I came here with some friends after brunch at Yuca Bar, and it definitely keeps the party going.

    These people are racists. Don't ever go here. Our friend from Chile was visiting with a foreign ID and they wouldn't let him in because he had an accent. Have had numerous events here, and will never come back again. What a shame.

  • Maddy W.

    We went to this place after reading reviews about their 2-for-1 happy hour special and decided to eat dinner there too. The drinks were great (the strawberry margaritas especially) but the service left a lot to be desired. We went around 6 on a Friday so it was definitely busy but we were offered a table in the back if we wanted to sit right away. It soon became clear that the table we were at was not meant to be a table to eat at so we asked the waitress to let us know when a real table became available (and about halfway through the meal we were able to move, which we really appreciated). It should be noted that the main room was very loud, my friend and I had trouble hearing each other. I asked about whether one of the pasta dishes had any dairy in it, to which the waitress replied "all of the pasta dishes contain cream" and walked away. After looking through the rest of the cheese-heavy menu I asked the waitress which dishes do not contain dairy and she looked at me unapologetically and said "the only two dishes that don't have dairy are the guacamole if we don't add the sour cream and the avocado toast" (both appetizers). Definitely not a dietary restriction-friendly place! Throughout the rest of the meal we had a lot of trouble getting our waitress's attention and were never checked up on - whenever we needed something we had to seek out our waitress. Again, the drinks were great but I wouldn't go again if I were looking for food.

    Really cute rustic winebar-lookin spot. They appear to have a room in the back for private parties. HAPPY HOUR: 2 for 1 until 8PM. That's about all you really need to know. Get sloshed on the cheap, though all the drinks we had were super strong and kind of disgusting, they did the job. Especially the champagne cocktail--really bitter tasting. My friend and I just downed this one to get rid of it. My friend and I ordered the guac. IT WAS HUGEEEEE. A+.

    Took a first date here the other night. It's got a cool ambiance. Almost too dark actually. We had to use our cellphones to see the menu. They have a great 2 for 1 special from 4-8 I believe and the drinks tasted great. Only complaint was the music. Not a music snob or anything but for how intimate the décor is the music was something you'd hear at the local bro's night out. Was slightly off putting.

    As a frequenter of Ten Degrees, I can honestly say that this is my usual "first stop" of the evening. I love the 2 for 1 Happy Hour (on the daily!) and the cocktails are my flavor. (Personally, I'm a whiskey girl.) The cocktails are super simple but get the job done! I love the vibe. Sure, it seems small, but it's bigger than most spots worth going to, AND there's that whole back room. So there is a lot to work with! As for the staff. . . super hit and miss. Our original waitress forgot to put in our drink orders, but the other girl picked up her slack with us, so no complaints here.

    Why have I not heard about this place before? It's so classy and sexy with dim lights and candles everywhere. Great place for catching up with friends or for a date. My friend and I ate at the Five Tacos before coming here for Happy Hour 2 for 1 special and alomst immediately the bartenders greeted us and told us to sit where ever and brought us a menu. It was like first class customer service and they were oh so manly looking with their beards and muscles (I feel bad for not tipping more). I'm a girl and my friend was a guy and I'm sure they thought that we were on a date. One of them came over to dim the lights by our table and literally said "let's make it more sexy." I couldn't help but laugh. The place was pretty happening for a Wednesday night. We got there at 6 and it got crowded around 8 PM (when happy hour and the good deal was over. Weird huh?). I ordered from the cocktails and had the Campari Champangne and then the Mojito. Both were delicious. The mojito did have a lot of mint leaves in it and felt that it took up too much space compared to the glass size.

  • Amy T.

    Nice bar! Very strong drinks and the bartender keeps the bar area clean. I would come back for their happy hours. After happy hours, the drinks are around $12-15 so don't drink too much. FYI, their drinks are not fruity or sweet. There are more seating in the back of their bar. Street parking! Don't take American Express.

  • Laura H.

    I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place already. I'll keep it short. I'm not really a fan of the drinks because I feel like they are so strong it's a little hard to get them down (obviously this could be viewed as a plus for some). The beer selection has variety but for some reason I never seem to find one that I like. And the wait for drinks can be really long. On the other hand it is conveniently located and has a nice ambiance so when my friends who love it go, I don't mind spending a couple of hours there with them. Not MY first choice but not terrible to spend time there. And they do have the best playlist of any bar in the city (besides Bounce and Grey Lady)!

  • Rachel N.

    I always come for happy hour which can get quite crowded at times and makes it annoying that there's no room to stand by the bar or get a seat. Other than that though, it is a very nice atmosphere and having some attractive bartenders also doesn't hurt.. Ten degrees is a great place to talk with friends over drinks especially during their daily 2 for 1 happy hour special. The drinks are pretty good and they don't skimp out on you. There's even a back room where people won't even bother that you've been there for hours..

  • Meghan A.

    I went to Ten Degrees this past Saturday night with very good friend Abby W., despite her negative experience, 2-star Yelp review, and the absurd rebuttal by Ten Degrees' management. The specialty cocktails were delicious, and very reasonably priced at $11 each. The atmosphere was dark, lively, and the windows that open out to St. Mark's make it perfect for a summer evening. However, I'm truly appalled by management's ridiculous response to Abby W's Yelp review. It was condescending, overly defensive, off-topic, and unnecessary. Anybody on the street (let alone a well-traveled, born-and-raised New Yorker like Abby W.) will tell you $1 per drink is absolutely standard and fair tipping procedure in NYC, especially in the East Village/ABC City, with exceptions going towards complex cocktails at upscale places like Employees Only. Ten Degrees is hardly Employees Only, and anybody who tips $1 per drink is hardly from Boise, Idaho. Rude. The next argument that management makes is that his staff needs to pay their rent. How is this the customer's problem? Do we customers not need to pay OURS? Pay your staff more, raise the drink prices, figure it out, but your bartender's rent payment is not my problem. Finally, Abby W.'s point was that the staff was rude to her and called her friend out on the $1/drink tip. This is absolutely not acceptable. Even if someone leaves ZERO tip, you are in a service business, and you have to shut your mouth and keep it to yourself. For management to condone a staff member's unprofessional behavior towards a customer is disappointing, especially at an otherwise fun bar.

    Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I had a really good time here last night. My group of three got there around 6, and the place was already starting to fill up...everyone loves a good happy hour! Because the only tables left were two-seater hightops, the hostess suggested the back room with its couches, which turned out to be a perfect spot. Over the next couple hours it started to fill up as well, but I think due to the seating maintained the more relaxed vibe I prefer. Our waitress was friendly and prompt with our orders. I tried the Montparnasse and the Dougie's mix (bourbon and ginger beer) and thanks to a heavy pouring hand and happy hour, I was feeling pretty good by the time we were finishing up! I was feeling even better when the bill came and it was half the total I'm used to in EV bars. I'll definitely be back (before 8pm) and recommend you go too...just leave a couch for me.

    Bartenders really friendly. Awesome happy hour - 2 for 1 (note: per person)! Tried the mojito and some other drink with jack I can't remember. The mojito was delicious but the other drink was so-so, was too strong. They had the doors open and minimal air flow so it was kind of warm but overall I'd come back!

    Great atmosphere, even better happy hour... but the waitress (who we often have) is just miserable... And she's not the only one, they all are! It's one thing to be short and sweet when taking an order but they are as sour as a ripe lemon. You never know what's going on in someone else's life... so I can't judge, but you need to check those things at the door when you are in the service industry. Other than that I love the place and continue to go back, good drinks, food is good and its always busy... they just REALLY need to work on the wait staff's attitude. I'm sorry your 'acting' career didn't work out and you have to be a cocktail waitress, welcome to LIFE!

    I went to a birthday party at Ten Degrees Bar last night & we had the back room reserved for us. It was the perfect sized room for us with couches & chairs lining the walls with space in the middle for shmoozing or dancing, which I'd like to say I did more of but the music was inconsistent & slightly random last night. The music ranged from The Cure to 50 Cents with no rhyme or reason at all & just when you thought the party was going to get started, a slow song would come on & everyone would sit back down. Oh well. We had a server devoted specifically to our party & she was friendly, attentive & gracious. The drinks were pretty strong & really good. I especially enjoyed the fact that the back room has two bathrooms for the people in the back room, although it would have been really nice if at least once throughout the night one of the employees checked on the bathrooms to ensure it was clean & stocked with toilet paper & paper towels. I find in general that in Manhattan, this is something that doesn't occur too often in any establishment & it really should, especially since drunk strays wander their way in to the back room to defy the private party's bathrooms. Just saying. Overall, a nice place & I definitely look forward to coming back one day to try some of their small plates like the avocado toast accompanied by some homemade sangria that looks really desirable in fellow Yelper's pics.

    Came here on a hot summer, and cold beer hit the spot. Happy hour deal was two drinks for the price of one, and they have a huge array of beers and drinks to choose from. My selection was Apricot Wheat Ale My friend ordered the Sangria- which was presented in a classy champagne glass We also ordered the Chips and guacamole- it was okay- the guacamole had too much lime in it for my preference. overall I like this place for a chill happy hour place

    I was walking around looking for a new place to have afterwork time drinks with a friend and found this gem. The food and drinks are pretty good here. Drink list: Large cocktail list where the drinks are made pretty decently (by my standards.) There's a 2 for 1 afterwork special, but I think it's limited to 1 use per person. Food: There were sliders I remember. A pork one and a steak one? I don't remember, but they both were really damn good. Smallish portions though.

    Cute place. Went on a Friday night so it was a bit crowded and took about 15 minutes to get the bartenders attention. The English bartender was rude and ignored me when I asked a question. He walked away while I was placing my order so I had to order from the other bartender.

  • Christine L.

    They have a killer happy hour deal here! Can't believe how cheap it was (2 for 1 drinks). Bartender is super friendly (especially given he's a one man show serving the ENTIRE place). Seating at the bar or high top tables. When it's warm outside they'll open up the big doors in the front which creates nice ambiance.

    I came here on a Saturday night for a mini-reunion with some friends from college after my friend's gay brother recommended the place because the male bartender looks like Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling had a gay baby. Just our luck he was working the night we showed up. He was friendly and funny and we had a great time joking around with him. The drinks were nice and strong and comparably priced to what you would find at other similar bars in the city. I also really dug the vibe of this place. It was small and intimate, and was a great place for our little reunion. The guy-girl ratio was also pretty reasonable and none of us got any unwanted attention. The only downside was the lack of seating. We were a group of six by the time everyone showed up and we spent a good portion the time half sitting and half standing at the bar. After we'd been there for about two hours, a six person table opened up at the back, and we went to sit down at it. Unfortunately, we got kicked off the table because we weren't ordering any drinks from the waitress (even though we had already spent a considerable amount of money at the bar by then). She said she needed the table if we weren't ordering, but at that hour there was no one waiting for the table. I understand the policy, but the way she handled it was just plain bad service. All in, I would definitely come back, especially as a place to catch up with old friends.

    2 for 1 happy hour basically all day. 12-8 p.m. I think. It's a pretty small place and it's reallllly loud, even in the afternoon. But... 2 for 1 on everything so I'll be back. (Plus the apps are supposed to be bomb!)

    Decided to host my 21st birthday party here after I figured out from Yelp reviews that there is no down payment and no additional cost. You just have to guarantee that you will spend a minimum of $250 for the front couch area ($500 for the back room). I contacted Moti (the bar owner) Thursday night for my Saturday night party and Moti got back to me 40 minutes later! We hammered out the details of the party very quickly, thanks to Moti's quick responses via email, and I sent him my agreement the next day. I booked the party for 12 am and Moti said that we could have the space for four hours (although normally the time limit is 3 hours) since we started at midnight. I was excited to try the Godiva drink since so many people raved about it on Yelp. However, I found the drink more bitter than sweet and very strong. I liked the lemondrop much better. The caipirinha is also awesome--fruity, sweet and not too strong. I'm sure I had a lot of other drinks, but I can't remember them haha. All in all, I had a blast on my 21st, thanks to Ten Degrees. I was stressed about the $250 min, but my party of 20-25 easily surpassed it.

    Originally, I wanted to visit Please Don't Tell, but after seeing all the reviews on how difficult it is to get a hold of those people my friend took me to Ten Degrees Bar for Happy Hour :D! I had a wonderful time here with a group of friends.The wine selection is superb from several different countries around the world. From Napa Valley, CA to France, Argentina, Germany, and etc there's so much of a variety! The drinks aren't that bad and I'm pretty impressed especially with the Riesling I had. The taste and aroma are really nice and it tasted like summer and it is a dry type of white wine, and it was also sweet which I liked ($12). German Beer/Wine is the best hands down. This is me being biased though with German drinks. I highly RECOMMEND RIESLING :D I think both types are pretty good but I got the "Semi Dry- Sweet" one instead of the "Dry - Semi Sweet" version of it. I also sampled some of my friend's drinks. I believe I had the Red Wine Sangria and it tasted good too with the fresh fruits along with it ($10). My other friend had a Godiva Chocolate & Raspberry Vodka Martini ($14), and gahh IT TASTED GREAAAAT :DDD It doesn't taste like an alcoholic beverage, but there's a very faint hint of vodka in it. I mean you can still taste it but it's the Godiva Chocolate that's overpowering the vodka overall. ***So, I recommend this drink if your first time drinking an alcoholic beverage or if you don't want to taste something too strong. It's very good if you like sweet drinks :)!*** We also ordered The Best Guacamole with Chips along with our drinks. Very very good. It also came with Salsa, but I must warn you my friend, it's very spicy. You may regret taking a scoop of the salsa especially if you're not fond of spicy foods. It burns a bit. ($8) Not sure what else I had, but I think I was a bit too tipsy to remember the other drinks @____@;;; Everything tastes good after sampling everyone's drinks actually scratch that wine/beer tastes better with a group of friends! I would definitely go again! Go During Happy Hour!! [Happy hour, 2 for 1 per person, daily 12-8pm] .

    Ten Degrees is small. It's crowded. The front of the bar is hot. Strange characters wander in from time to time. All reasons why I love this bar. The drinks are delicious. The HH is pretty awesome. The front space becomes semi-outdoor. The staff is friendly and CUTE! I love this bar.

  • Erin D.

    Ten things you should know about Ten Degrees: 1.) The 2-for-1 Happy Hour includes not only their lengthy list of delicious, potent cocktails, but also wine/beer and off-menu items, like a super spicy Bloody Mary or extra dirty martini. (I like drinks with a few adjectives, what can I say... I think the people at Starbucks may hate me.) 2.) It gets crowded and very loud in here, but there are some big comfy couches to sit on. Kind of awkward if you're in a big group, so stick with a date or just a couple buddies. 3.) At $11-13, drinks are expensive outside of Happy Hour. 4.) There's food, but it's small gastropub stuff. Unless you snag a seat at the bar or one of the very few tables, it could be pretty uncomfortable to chow down. 5.) The back room, my favorite part of the bar to chill, can be booked for private parties and frequently is, so you may have to migrate to the louder front area. 6.) The two bathrooms are pretty spacious and clean. 7.) Service is fine. Not too friendly, but they do the job and do take special drink requests/alterations, which I appreciate. 8.) The drinks themselves are strong and well-made, something in between what you'd get at a typical bar and a speakeasy. 9.) It's way too girly up in here. The ratio must be around 5:1.5, chicks to dudes (and that .5 refers to dudes on dates). 10.) The location rocks - several options nearby. It's particularly nice when the weather's decent and the entire front of the bar gets opened up... some fun people-watching, courtesy of its proximity to Tompkins Square Park. I think Ten Degrees is awesome for very specific purposes: Either a chill date (during Happy Hour or with a whipped/generous guy), or a gabfest with a small group of girls donning brand new cute little dresses during Happy Hour, before heading off somewhere else. With dudes.

    This place is incredibly noisy on the weekends. You pretty much have to yell to hear yourself. That said, I like it. Casual yet nice decor. Good place to go with friends for a night out. The service is good, I thought they were really accommodating, letting us add a 3rd person to a 2-person table... I had the Saint Germain cocktail and it was good - not too sweet and rather refreshing. A place I'd go back to

  • Liz T.

    I love it here. This is definitely my go-to fun and hip bar in the Alphabet City/St.Marks area. Since their off-happy hour menu is more on the expensive side, I definitely only recommend coming here during their 2 for 1 happy hour. Their cocktails (with my fave being the Moscow Mule) are a bit strong and if you're a weaksauce like me, one drink will give you a nice good buzz. The bar tenders are all very nice and whenever I sit at the bar, I always request them to make me a special off-the-menu drink, which usually comes out to be very good. I've tried their food before including the cheese platters and the pasta but they're all pricey and not too worth it in my opinion. Don't be intimidated by the crowd in the front when you initially walk in, there is more space and some couches towards the back of the bar. I highly suggest coming here before 6pm to secure yourself a nice spot!

  • Lea K.

    Went here for happy hour on a Wednesday Happy hour is 2 for 1 drinks and the cocktails are $10-$15 for the specialty made. They were well worth the price! strong, but not to the point you couldn't drink them, friends had the jalapeno margarita which had a bit of a kick and I had the Kentucky cocktail. Cons: very small space and if you don't grab a spot its almost impossible to just stand; only 2 waitresses and 2 bartenders. Normally would be ok but each drink is made on the spot so the wait was quite long will definitely be going for happy hour again

    We hosted a 30+ person event here this past Sunday. I'm from Atlanta, GA and I worked with Moti to coordinate our party and logistics entirely by e-mail. Moti was incredibly professional, responsive, and transparent about the group reservation process. On the day of the event, the staff who helped us were just as friendly, polite, and professional. Our server was patient and made the event a breeze. I will absolutely host future events in NYC at Ten Degrees bar as it is a wonderful experience to work with their team and a relaxed atmosphere to host larger meet ups and events. Thank you Moti and Ten Degrees staff for taking such good care of us!

  • Laura L.

    Came here a few weeks ago with a group of friends, and we had a good time sitting in the back room and chilling. I ordered a glass of rosé wine. A few days later, I checked my credit card statement online and realized that 10 Degrees had charged me more than what I wrote on my receipt. (I still have my copy of the receipt, so I verified it.) I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and figured that maybe they got my receipt mixed up with my friend's, and not that they did it on purpose, but either way, it's a pretty irresponsible error for an establishment to make. I called my bank to fix the situation...but I probably won't be going back to 10 Degrees. Moral of the story: keep your receipts and check your credit card statements!

    This place has a fantastic 2 for 1 happy hour on all drinks - wine, beer and mixology. I love their Jalapeno margaritas. They have a back room for private events. My friends all had salads and I ordered the sliders (I know, I know.) The aioli that came with sliders was a perfect compliment. The burgers themselves were juicy and flavorful and didn't even need it but it was so flavorful and tasty.

  • Darwin G.

    Some people just want a horrible place and to drink cheap beers, which I have done. It depends on what you're looking for from a Happy Hour, but this really a great different setting. On a nice spring or summer day, the front of the bar opens up for a breeze and some sun. The drinks are buy one get one, so for their great cocktails, that's $5-6 a drink. That might not seem like a deal for Happy Hour, but these are some well constructed drinks with good liquors. On a warm day, I would suggest the French 75, Gin, Cointreau, champagne, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Their Happy Hour is from 12-8PM, so people watch through the open front, sip on some great drinks, get drunk, and grab a dinner in one of the best dining neighborhoods in the city.

  • Christina H.

    love this place for happy hour. 2 for 1 drinks until 8 pm every night (i think, i have only come here on weekends). my favorite drinks are the berry mojitios and the godiva chocolate martini. they also have a good selection of wines by the glass though i have never gone that route. similarly the food looks and smells good (thanks to the people around us who ordered) but i have not tried myself. the bar is always crowded when i have gone but there are usually seats available towards the back of the restaurant. service is pretty terrible - very slow and usually with attitude though unsure why. this is why the 3 stars instead of higher. good spot overall

    Ten Degrees is a really cool place. Tucked away from the madness of Saint Marks but still a part of it at the same time. Very open, great place to hang out all afternoon (happy hour 12-8!). Their happy hour is buy one get one on ANY drink per person. I just had wine, and my boyfriend had wine and a beer. However, they have some really interesting cocktails that I would like to try next time. The bartender was really friendly. Cool music playing too. We had the avocado toast for a little nosh, it hit the spot. Can't wait to return!

    Yah! Needed a place to meet a friend in town from Paris on a Saturday night. Requirements were no velvet rope, pretention or too many overly obnoxious 20 somethings. I absolutely love what felt like an abnormally long happy hour on a Saturday night and felt like this place fit all of my requirements. This place stayed crowded and the servers constantly checked on us without being overbearing. 2 for 1 happy hour- you just convinced me to stay a few minutes longer. Though we only planned to stay for drinks, after enjoying happy hour + some, we realized that hunger had descended upon us and Ten Degrees had a menu to help us out. I had some type of pasta with mushrooms and kinda loved it. Small portion, but tasty! I'm sold!

    Updating my review after response from the owner - not one thing I've written about this place is a lie. Look at the response, calling your customers liars? Whining about losing money on a cold winter night? This place was not at capacity and our party was slowly trickling in. No one shows up with 60 people all at once. This guy is a windbag and if he spent half the energy on being nice to customers than he did playing keyboard warrior on yelp, maybe he wouldn't have to blame his small businesses shortcomings on a single party. Just to be clear - I never talked to you, I only observed your incredibly rude and unprofessional behavior. If you talked to me the way I saw you talking to them, I would have taken you outside. I hope she flips the charge on her card on you and I hope your pretentious and pathetic business fails.

    Went with some girlfriends for some pre dinner happy hour cocktails and was very impressed. Helpful, efficient and friendly staff. Only one bar man and a waitress in a crowded venue, but they made it look easy, hats off! We realised that it was almost 8pm (end of happy hour) so we quickly asked the waitress for another round, she kindly said to take our time finishing our current drinks. Then when we were finished well after 8pm, we still got our happy hour drinks. Sitting by the kitchen we were tempted by all the beautiful smells so we nibbled on a very generous serve of Guacamole. The small serving was plenty for 3. Followed by some pasta that was not life changing, but left us all very satisfied. The bill was a pleasant surprise, much less then we expected for such a nice experience. Can't wait to go back.

    This place basically sucks. Zero happy hour which is somehow featured on yelp, not to mention their bartenders are pretentious dicks who can't make a decent $12 margarita. After I told them we were leaving, they took 5 other drink orders before closing out my tab, only after asking for it again. Never coming back, fuck this place.

    Another review raving about the awesome 2-4-1 happy hour here. One thing I especially love is that they make their Old-Fashioneds properly: strong and tasty enough to make a 90 lb Asian girl feel like a first-class Renaissance Gentleman of the century. I'm also dedicating these stars to Allie, a super cool chick and a fantastic waitress. She was really excited that my roommate asked for a vegetarian recommendation and pointed out her favorite dish (as a fellow vegetarian). Ironically, the kitchen staff mixed up the order and we started chowing on a panini that had meat in it. Allie looked genuinely horrified (as opposed to the usual "politely pretending to be sincere and care" attitude) and immediately switched the dish out, making sure the meal was comped. She was so sweet about everything that my roommate declared that he couldn't even be mad, which is monumental since the last time he accidentally ate meat he had a meltdown that lasted two days. On a side note, the offending panini was so good that when I went back next time without a vegetarian in tow I ordered it for myself :x

    This place become our favorite bar while in NY, as we probably came about three times during our week long stay. Their happy hour is till 8pm and is TWO FOR ONE, on everything and anything in the joint. Feeling baller and in the mood to drink some Cristal poured on diamonds? Yup, the Cristal is also part of the 2 for 1 deal. It sucks that I can't remember the bartender's name that attended us during out visits, but he was mad cool and a great mixologist. I'm usually one that is skeptical about what I'll be drinking whenever there's such a great happy hour deal involved, but these were delicious top-shelf cocktails. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to eat here. In addition to our cool ass bartender, the rest of the staff was very hospitable and made us tourists feel like a regular. The crowd here is also pretty mixed, but for the most part, everyone was really cool, with a really low douchebag ratio, which is really nice. This has officially became a go-to bar anytime in NY.

    We live near 10 Degrees and have been several times for a glass of wine. The location is convenient, they have a nice selection of drinks and the big open windows are great in warmer weather. We arrived and the front seating area was totally empty. We tried to sit down for a glass of wine and the hostess told us that unless we were part of a group, we were not welcome to sit there - even for a single glass of wine. She let us know we were welcome to sit around the bar area, if there were any seats (there were not). We thought we'd grab one of the tables for 2 along the side - our usual place to sit, with many (although that night, empty) tables for two and chairs - when the dirty blond, long haired hostess turned to the other server and loudly said "you tell them this time they can't sit there." We walked out. I just noticed the owner comment - we understand if the front area was reserved, but your host only told us that needed to be part of a bigger group to sit there. I just think that we should not have been made to feel unwelcome by your staff's comment which we overheard - it seems there was no place for us in the entire (nearly empty) bar. Again, we've been several times before as walk-ins and enjoyed it - but find the owner's comment now to make us feel even more unwelcome. If you can grab a seat, you will find this to be a cute place for some wine.

    If you want a non-pretentious wine bar to just have a good time at, this is your place. Ambiance and decor are very nice - dark, candlelight, a variety of seating arrangements. Radiohead on heavy rotation the night I was there which was perfect. Service is speedy and courteous. In some ways, it feels like the wine-version of neighbor Bua, which is a good thing. I didn't love either of my wines which keeps it at 3 stars for now at least. But there are plenty of options so I'd definitely give it another shot. Also, seems like a good date place, at least during the week. Or perhaps a good place to pick-up a date as it was ~70% female.

    I just had a party and everyone had a magnificent time. The private room was warm and cozy. All of my guests enjoyed the couches and set up. The staff took really good care of us, like always. 10 Degrees is one of my favorite hang outs now. The live jazz band was just what we needed later that night. The perfect place for good friends to meet catch up with one another. Everyone, RAVED, about the Chef. Chef Jose Gonzalez outdid himself! His food was GREAT!!! This place is a definite MUST GO!!! Thanks Ohi

    The bar is hard to navigate when crowded. We had the choice of eating (both facing the same way) in front of the door to the kitchen or in the back on a couch & coffee table. Nothing on the menu seemed amazing enough to eat in such an uncomfortable manner and since most was pasta a couch and coffee table would not do! We ordered some beers and a cheese plate instead and went on to have dinner elsewhere. The cheese plate was very good and the music was also great. It was a little surreal listening to Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails surrounded by businessmen but that added to the fun. I think this is a good meet up place before heading to dinner with friends but not a good place for dinner itself.

    Love this place. The 2-for-1 Happy Hour from 12 to 8 can't be beat (four top shelf drinks for 25 bucks? Hell yes). Great wine selection, friendly and engaging bartenders, and an overall cozy place to grab a drink with a friend or partner. Only downside is that it's a little small; however, if you get there early, you can get a good seat.

    I've been to Ten Degrees a bunch of times, and it's a nice place to go. When it gets crowded, it can feel a little too cozy, but the buy-one-get-one happy hour is a great deal, and you can get the back room for groups. Food's pretty good. Cheese platter's a bit spartan, but the meatballs are delish. I wouldn't go there for dinner, but for a snacky with drinks, it's just fine. Bonus? Cute bartenders.

    My best friend brought me here and I definitely am a fan of both the atmosphere and the staff!! While the guac was undersalted, the complimentary salsa it comes from was quite delish. I really liked the beef slider, because it was super tasty, bite sized and hit the spot. My friend thought it tasted "too gamey". The sangria was also quite nice.

    The atmosphere at Ten Degrees is what makes it. It's fun and busy-but-laid-back; there's a nice crowd in a cool setting; and there are no flatscreens in sight. They have a delightful selection of drinks (wine and cocktails seem to be the specialties) and tasty, quality food--not least the Cashel blue Irish cheese! I had been here with a crowd from work before and thought it would be a good place to celebrate my fiancé's birthday. Moti, the manager, was very responsive when we asked to reserve a space for ~12 people on a Saturday night. On the night, our waitress Lauren was spectacularly attentive to our needs while staying relaxed and friendly throughout the evening. Ten Degrees could be a little cheaper (we didn't come during happy hour and we ended up spending a lot), but overall, it's well worth it. There aren't many bars in New York where you can find the space for a fun, low-key party. This is one of the good ones.

    don't come here if you don't love: -strong and delicious drinks -friendly and fast service -cool ass vibe -mixed crowd, chill atmosphere -legit happy hour deal -having fun -ending the night at 10pm because you decided to try out every drink on the menu don't let the $11-13 per drink on the menu you fool you, come during happy hour (noon to 8pm) and you will experience all of the aforementioned things.

    I first visited this little bar when they reopened about 5 years ago. It was a cute spot, but somehow I never made it back. And so I was due a visit, wasn't I? This is great overall spot for drinks, small bites, and actually talking to whoever you happen to be there with. They play great music too (like the Smiths, one of my all-time faves!) A cozy, yet not dive-y bar with a relaxed, unpretentious feel. Next time, I need to try a cheese plate, as the menu descriptions were interesting (in a good way) to say the least! And they serve chocolate. Who can argue with that? Yep, I am a fan indeed.

    We came by on a Friday evening and got a table. The service was so sweet and friendly! I just think you deserve extra stars when you give fast and polite service, because you don't get much of that from a bar/lounge and especially from GIRLS! You girls KNOW we are the bitchiest characters on the face of the earth! But the girls were down to earth and I could see them hanging out with us! We got the cheese & meat platter and also guac which was fab as home in California! The drinks were great and in the back little tables for two with candlelight--great for a date :;ahem:: ahem:: fellas! ;)

    Cute little wine bar I checked out on a Sunday with a friend. 2-1 drinks! Great atmosphere and although we stuck to wine, the drinks the bartender was making looked delish...and unique. Loved the music that was being played and if I lived in the area, I would totally make it my local stop.

    Wednesday night at 10:30pm things seemed a little dead in the East Village. Students were studying, young professionals were relaxing at home and even those wandering the streets seemed a little tired. But for those in the know, there was something magical going at 121 St Mark's Place. That's right, Ten Degrees, the too-full-to-stand, music blaring weekend spot has quite a different crowd on nights like these. Couples and small groups of friends line the front room and hallway towards the back, drinking glasses of wine, nibbling on snacks and chatting with the waitresses and bartenders. They're all enjoying the one thing I have been trying to find for some time: live jazz. Outstanding, energetic, soothing, mellow, bursting (and everything else you want to describe the genre as) jazz! We sipped our drinks slowly and spent two hours enthralled in the music, talking only between sets. The service is stellar, as are the drinks and the crowd was exactly what it should be, twenty-somethings looking for a chill night out. Apparently they have live jazz Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Best of all, there's no cover charge, no annoying drink minimum and drinks are strong! 5-stars all the way.

  • Joan H.

    The owner was at Mogador up the street, and decided to go on his own with Ten Degrees - a very chill place to enjoy wine by the glass or bottle at moderate prices (you can get bottles for $36, and I think glasses at $8-$10). They also have a full bar, with beer, for those who don't want the vino. A narrow space with comfy chairs up in the front, a teeny bar, small tables for couples on one side followed by lower set tables with a long cushy seat-sofa thing going on on the other, it is not going to be easy to seat groups here, but definitely is good for small gatherings. They will typically have live music or a DJ. Check this out to chill - especially when the other usual St. Mark's locations are a bit too crowded to partake in just yet.

    This place was only okay. Tapas were good but the price is a little high for Lower East Side. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio which was excellent, however, the service was so slow and terrible that by the time my tapas arrived on the table my wine was grossly warm. I was appalled that it took that long to slice a roll of bread, open a jar of olives and fan out 5 slices of cheese on a cheeseboard...give me a break! With its dimly lit rooms and open air bar, it would be a cute date spot except you wouldn't want to embarrass yourself for taking your sweetie to a place where the service was terrible. Save yourself the trouble because there's a lot of better spots within walking distance.

  • Danny H.

    Nice, medium-sized place. The bar greets you right away, but there's a lounge tucked away in the back. The music can be a little loud and overwhelming, but it's a relaxing place nonetheless. It can get packed fairly quickly on Fridays and Saturday nights. The wine list is fairly extensive and the lounge was fairly relaxing, though the service, while friendly, was slow.

    This place is turning into my go to East Village spot, but Sun-Tues only! -Good selection of wine -The food! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM -Great happy hour -Polite and knowledgeable bartenders -upscale vibe while still casual Excellent for small groups wanting to get quality drinks and maybe a snack. The food platters are a must for groups, the food is all very savory and pairs well with most of the drinks. 2 for 1 happy hour til 8pm and 1/2 off wine bottles monday are great deals. If the place was a little bigger and had a few more beers on tap it would be heaven. Sun-Tues 5 stars!!! When its gets busy most the charm is lost, it gets noisy and you wont be able to get a seat. Wouldn't bother going to Thurs-Sat anytime after 7pm-on those days this place only merits 2 or 3 stars. Also: if you want to rent out a space for a party DO NOT FALL FOR RENTING OUT THE "FRONT" AREA! The back area is roomy, and on a rainy weeknight you could rent out the middle area if you're going early, but if the owner says the back is booked and tries to hook you up with the front coach area: don't do it! The owner (who seems really nice) seriously exaggerates how many people can fit. Not only was there a lack of seating, random people at the bar refused to move and shoved right up nexted to us. Half of our party had to leave due to lack of space. Plus the air conditioner drips onto the coach! The waitress didn't have the authority/ wasn't experienced enough/ or didn't care enough to really help us out. I had to ask her 3 times to let us move to the back (which was empty as the other party had failed to show.) Eventually after an hour and a half we moved to the back minus all the people who already left because they physically couldnt squeeze in. And no, they didn't give us any free drinks to apologize but that may have been expecting too much for a EV lounge. Renting out space here can still rock, just do not attempt to do it on the weekend and make sure it includes the happy hour deals : /

    i have to admit... when my bridesmaids told me that they were throwing me my bridal shower at a bar i was a little skeptical. but when i showed up last sunday and was ushered into ten degrees' back party room, i was completely suprised (and thrilled) to see how cozy it was! comfy couches and futons, low tables, cute bookshelves, and even our own private bathrooms. they had let my bridesmaids outfit the room with decorations and games galore, and supplied us with delicious sangria, chips and guacamole, pork sliders, and mini paninis. i had an amazing time hanging out with my friends and the waitstaff here were just lovely. :) 5 stars (but i might be biased).

    I just threw a birthday party here at 10 degrees, and Moti and the staff were wonderful! They reserved us a perfect table on super short notice, and were really flexible with us when we ran into snags. They had a very reasonable minimum that our group easily tripled. I baked cupcakes and dropped them off in the afternoon with short plating instructions (very fancy!) They brought them out looking spectacular, nobody believed I made them myself. The vibe was really relaxed by our table, but the front of the bar was packed. The drinks and the food were tasty and reasonably priced. It just turned out to be a great place for our group. Trust me, these guys are just super nice! If you need a place where you can talk to the owner, make a plan, or throw a small party, this is it!

    This place is quite small, but the interior is really nice. Dark and cozy, but can get quite crowded. We had to wait 10 min for a table of three. When we got there, the place was filled with upper 20 something year olds and older, so we felt kind of out of place. We felt like babies, but no one bothered us or attempted to clip bibs onto our shirts. Hey, we didn't even get id'ed. That's depressing for me: do I look old?! My friends ordered the Kentucky cocktail and orange martini, and I had Dougie's Mix. My friends did not enjoy their drinks at all. They said it was too strong, and not sweet enough. I guess they like very fruity and sweet drinks. Yes, this place won't serve you those sugary, fruity drinks suitable for the youngins. Instead, it will concoct you drinks that is more suitable for the older and mature crowd. I really enjoyed my drink. It's not one of those fruity things. Instead, it was one of those refreshing drinks, and like all alcoholic drinks, it turned me red and happy. I felt like a red hipster, ordering this grown-up drink. It left a satisfying tingling sensation on my tongue and throat after every sip. It was so good that even I was dancing to the awesome music they had on. It seems like that's one of the things we have in common: Cold War Kids, Phoenix, The Killers, Band of Horses, etc... I wanted my 2 for 1 special, but my friends weren't in the mood for it. They were tired...what a waste of a good time! Sigh, I guess we are babies after all. Someone get the warm milk, bib, and crib ready!

    Great happy hour - 2 for 1 drinks until 8pm and includes everything on their drink menu! Extensive cocktail list, drinks mixed very well and they don't skimp on alcohol! Good service and you can find a seat even though they are busy busy! Food is yummy, both their steak sliders and mozzarella pannini were yummy - don't expect dinner portions though, remember its bar food. Excellent choice for happy hour in a vintage atmosphere!

  • Sasha H.

    Exactly as promised, two for one top shelf cocktails, wine, and beer! Drinks are good and strong, which is normally totally my jam, but every one I had lacked any sweetness or bit of aromatics to relieve them from the strong alcoholic flavor. After a few of these, it gets a bit exhausting. But it's a fun, cozy spot, service is attentive, would definitely come again.

  • Donna C.

    In an area flowing with creativity and artsy type of places, the elegant décor of 10 Degrees stood out and is what made us go inside. The mojito I ordered was really good but I think that wine would've been a better choice since it is a wine bar. We ordered some tapas which were taking way too long to be served. When we asked the guy behind the bar about the tapas, his unpleasant response was, "It takes awhile because we make it fresh". Huh? Are they trying to say that they make fresh cheese and olives?! Overall, I think this place would be nice if they replaced their entire staff and throw in a few more pieces of cheese for the price that we're paying.

    A girlfriend and I came here last night. I'd raved about the great happy hour(s) special, but what we both were impressed by was the amazing service. It was a busy Thursday night, but our bartender Paul continued to give us personalized attention and delicious custom drinks as the crowds swelled. We came in for a couple drinks and a snack and ended up staying for hours. Thank you, Paul for making my friend's inaugural visit a great one. We'll be back for more of your quality cocktails soon!

    Love this place. One of my favorite bars on a Sunday afternoon due to the 2 for 1 drinks. The bf and I met a bunch of friends here for a drink this past Sunday and ended up staying practically the whole day. Bartenders have always been friendly and the service is great. Have yet to try the food but the drinks are always a perfect pour and the cocktail list is varied enough to satisfy everyone. The prices are decent, especially when you get the 2 for 1 deal. So nice too when the weather gets better because the front is open and you get a nice breeze. Perfect Sunday Funday joint.

    A very solid wine bar on St. Marks. It is very much helped by the fact that they have 2-1 Happy Hour EVERYDAY on beer, wine, and mixed drinks. While I can't attest to the food here, I can say that the wine selection is very good (very good for an East Village/LES wine bar), they do have a few specialty drinks, and a surprisingly solid choice of beer on tap. The place itself is clean, they have a few couches in the front and ample seating despite the place being mostly long and narrow. I've come here on Friday and Saturday nights and been able to score a seat at the bar or a table. Oh, and they have 2-1 Happy Hour EVERYDAY!

    Met up with an old friend here and I loved it. I got there at 7:30 and I was not aware but they have a 2 for 1 hh so I was able to make that just in time. I was feeling a bit under the weather so I ordered hot toddies and it was just what I needed! We ended up chatting for over 3 hours and more of our friends met up with us. Eventually we moved to the back private party room and it was perfect for us. I don't know why I never came here before when I've been to Bua and dymphna's so many times. I think i'm going to add this little gem to my list!

    Didn't know owner's could leave passive/slightly more aggressive comments to yelpers. And didn't realize this was the business of "the customer gets whatever we give them". Like I already said, Moti H., -1 for being too loud, -1 for the wrong crowd (not your fault, that's the game of chance, and what we yelpers get to rate), -1 for the oddball menu, and now -1 for you. *** What happened, 10 degrees? A year or two ago you were a really lovely neighborhood wine bar with snacks. Now you are a loud, crowded, run-of-the-mill hotspot bar that just happens to serve really expensive wine. And the food menu that has tripled in size? I mean, I guess you had to find a way to survive. But dang I can't respect a wine bar that would serve me $13 Riesling and guacamole. Also can't stomach drunken co-eds toppling over one another and having to shout over the music--and that's just the happy hour. And if I do have to listen to your loud music, does it have to be the Foo Fighters and antiquated Top 40 hits? Don't you something instrumental or international to go with the wine? Once upon a time people came here to decompress after work and talk. I'm going to reminisce on that love that we had, 10 Degrees. Let a wine bar be a wine bar, and a club be a club. I'll come back if you can dial that volume down just two or three clicks.

    I think I might be a star softee, but I'm gonna go ahead and give this 5 stars. Maybe I'm biased b/c I met my darling, wonderful, charming cousin here (she was in from Beantown) but it was great! The happy hour is 2 for 1 from NOON TO 8. Now, my cousin and I are both rather petite ladies and neither of us can drink 2 for 1s for 8 hours straight, but it was a great option for us b/c she's busy and I'm broke! I met her between her lunch appointment and her after work appointment, and even though I was late (F-ing F train) the bar tender kept her entertained in a totally friendly non creepy way. She had wine and I had a gin martini. My drink was great, as was hers. We ordered guacamole and chips and also the crostini santorini. Both were totally respectable and reasonably priced bar food. I'm not sure what it would be like on a crowded weekend night, but I certainly look forward to spending a slow summer evening there.

    I tried to give this bar another chance last Sunday. We ordered a bottle of rose between the three of us. Everything was going well except for the music. Probably one of the worst playlists ever. Went from punk to disco every 10 minutes. We were laughing about what a horrible mix it was. Luckily we finished our wine quickly and went to another bar.

    I think I like things when they remind me of my dreams. A few years ago, I went skiing in Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Italian Alps. Wow, what a beautiful place. Best part, besides the skiing, was the wine bar. not only did they have a beautiful list by the glass, including wines that were bottled 20 miles away, costing $2 per glass, but they also had an amazing salumeria and cheese cave attached. These guys had the concept down. Oh, and it was about 100 years old. I'm not in the business, but this place haunted me for years. I wish I had started a wine bar. Ten Degrees (along with a couple of others) comes really close to replicating the ambiance of that place. That's why I like it. It feels like the inside of my brain.

    This is a favorite happy hour spot for our group. The two for one special with the cool decor can't be beat. And it's a great spot to just sit around and chat at the watering hole. I probably wouldn't hang here too late but it's a great spot to start off with some early drinks.

    This place has a cool vibe because it's like a cool wine bar... but the atmosphere literally feels cool because the walls are made of stone... like cinder blocks or something. So yeah, it's a wine bar but really laid back and not snooty or sceney at all. The bartender knows his stuff and it's definitely a good idea for a date or if you want to leisurely sit in a non-crowded comfortable space where the noise is at a reasonable volume.

    I wish there was a Ten Degrees Bar in California! While visiting New York, our friend suggested this bar and I will be forever grateful!! The drinks were tasty, the hospitality was unforgettable, and the patrons were a great bunch (there was a bachelorette party, European vacationers, and locals). Moti, the owner, constantly made sure my friends and I were well taken care of. He entertained us with stories of his wife and sons while our bartender Paul kept us at the perfect level of inebriation. It was definitely a successful Girls Night Out :) Thank you for one of my most favorite nights in NY!!

  • Jiho S.

    Great spot for happy hour. Stopped by Friday evening and as expected packed to the brim. Heard they had 2 for 1 drinks till 8 so right off the bat I asked the bartender for 2 drinks. He asks me for $22...uh where's the 2 for 1? "Your 2nd round is free, not the 1st" he says...uh...ok like how does that make sense and what's the difference if I get my free drink later or now? I would have ordered just 1 if I knew...very weird drink policy...so great, stuck with 4 drinks now ended up tossing one of them away because I didn't want to get hammered by 8, maybe if I was 10 years younger, but not these days. Guess they just want to serve one drink per customer at a time to control the flow of alcohol...eh like that rule actually does anything. Anyways that snafu aside it's a great place for drink after work. Nice crowd, not obnoxious, and decent food menu to boot. I thought the charcuterie was a great if you just need things to nosh on while you down a few drinks. I also felt transported to another land as it appeared the ratio at the time was 5 to 1 girl/guy. Could just have been a one off occurrence or maybe because it's a wine bar it draws such a crowd. But don't let the wine bar fool you, it has a full bar for those wanting a beer or mixed drinks...all 2 for 1 till 8pm...I would come back.

    we liked it so much, we came two nites in a row. and i think that's saying a lot for being in nyc. sexy yet casual atmosphere with exposed brick and candles. i loved that the front wall opens onto the street so on nice nites, you feel like you're sitting outside. they have a full bar, but also a good wine selection. and yes, the two-for-one happy hour rocks. our second nite the owner chatted us up for a while and he was such a nice guy. living the dream really, you have to root for him.

    a year later... and our love affair continues. ten degrees... we know each other so well, and may the next year be just as good as the last... (likely better) for those reading this review. stop in for lunch now! they open mid day and the happy hour begins then and runs til 8! and try a "nik's moscow mule" while yer at it... it's my personal fav (for obvious reasons)

    A nice break from the St. Mark's crowds...at night, shadows dance on the walls from the many candles that create a soft glow in this monochromatic bar. There's a soft breeze from the open doorway/window. There's a DJ that plays, but the speakers are awkwardly placed and can be deafening in many seats along the one side of the bar. Also some questionable music selections. As far as the selection, there is a good variety of wines from all across the country and the world, with many to choose from under the broad categories (white, red, rose). I love that they have a list of cheeses and small plates, with very good descriptions and suggestions for what wines to pair with what cheese. The service is knowledgable and friendly and not to mention that our guy was really hot and had a Scottish accent. He could've suggested motor oil, and I would've thought it was good. But luckily we decided to go with a bottle of a nice Pinot Blanc, which the staff kept to chill and vigilantly refilled with each empty glass. What a great place for a warm NYC summer night.

    Love this place! Definite 5 stars! Me and my girlfriends came here on Halloween and the place was wild! We got in just before the happy hour ended and took advantage of the 2-4-1 special. The St Germaine cocktail is always our go to drink of choice. Lee is an excellent bartender and he knows how to get the crowd going!

    Had a great experience hosting a private event here! We were able to reserve the back party room for a friend's party. Once I was able to find the venue (thanks Yelp!), the entire experience was very smooth. Moti, the owner, whom I'm sorry to say I didn't get to meet in person, was very professional and accommodating. He made himself available and was able to quickly answer all of our questions via email. We were able to go to the room early to decorate and set up the desserts. They made sure we were comfortable and happy with the setup of the room. The lights were brightened a little at our request and volume of the music was adjusted. They gave us one server to handle all of our drink and food orders. Amazingly, she managed to remember everyone's orders even though there must have been over a dozen credit card tabs and we were all circulating around the room. We had no trouble meeting our minimum on the group tab so this was a wonderfully affordable party as well. The 2 for 1 happy hour applies to parties too (if you're within those hours). The drinks were good and strong. Some people ordered food and were happy with their dishes. Us organizers were pleased with the party and most important of all, our friend was happy. Thanks Ten Degrees for making this a memorable occasion for her!

    Come here for happy hour! Need I say more? Great BOGO happy hour specials with tasty and strong drinks. Came here with a girlfriend and shared a charcuterie platter that was pretty phenomenal (we didn't have high expectations and were really impressed). Great meat selection and they had this fig jam that was just lovely. The place is a bit noisy, so not that great for groups that are too large. Nonetheless, Ten Degrees Bar has a chill atmosphere and good vibes. I really like the industrial decor. It's a fun place for a few friends or a date.

    Happy hour is a deal....if you actually get noticed to order drinks. Got here at 6:30, only was able to order ONE drink since they lagged. Everyone working here was all over the place. There were two servers on the floor and one was ALSO bar-tending. Waited 20 minutes to order our second HH drink and our waitress reminded us it was 8PM. Okay? Thanks for nothing. Also, after we said no thanks after waiting twenty minutes before HH ended she didn't bother to ask us or wait if we wanted the check. Literally just bounced super fast. Waited for our check for 15 minutes. The HH is good but there are plenty of bars that have buy one get one....that are substantially better. Customer service IS a thing. I wanted to like this place, but my friends and I won't be coming back....at all.

    This place has pricey cocktails for this part of the East Village, but I think they're pretty good. I do like the 2-4-1 deal they have for happy hour every day. The wine I had seemed a little off (and was served warm) but I also may have just been jealous I didn't order a cocktail. In any case, this is a nice stop on a pretty decent stretch of bars along St. Marks!

    Quintessential East Village bar. Cozy, warm, and comfy atmosphere. Decent sized tables. Leather sofas. Candles. Friendly bartenders. Great beer selection. Awesome happy hour specials (two for one). This is a good spot for a date. I didn't eat there, because I had dinner plans later, but the food smelled good. I met an old friend here for drinks. It was a great volume for conversation, but then the music all of a sudden the music got super loud. I felt like I was screaming when the song ended. On a rainy Tuesday night it wasn't super crowded here. Perfect. Bathrooms are clean, but it's dark back there, so it was a little hard to find. We were just here for a short time since we both had dinner reservations with other friends, but I could have spent a few more hours hear, drinking in the ambiance. Amazingly we managed to catch a cab in the pouring rain right away. I rode away, happy, content, and wondering when I'll get to come back here again.

    I have been here few time before, always leave happy. Best time to come is on weekends. Ten Degrees Bar has fantastic happy hour. Great drink, I tried jalapeno marg. today.. mmm too good. You can get 2 for 1 I believe between 6-8, amazing deal. nice decor and good drinking specials. Good ambiance, classic and cozy all at the same time, good for groups of friends.

    Bro central! Ordered the French 75 and before I could finish the bro-y bartender had already snatched the plastic out of my hand (rude)! The French 75 was exceptionally watery as were the other old-fashioneds and vodka tonic that we ordered. Bar also smells sweaty and unappetizing. Would not return.

  • Allen C.

    My friend brought me here to show me around Manhattan and this was our first stop in the early evening. It was around 5-6 so it was only just starting to get crowded but we managed to find seats right when entering. The 2-4-1 deal here cannot be beat. My friend and I each got two cocktails which totaled $13.50 each after a rather generous tip. I started with the Tom Collins, and then got the Old Fashioned. Both drinks were pretty good and fairly strong. I'm a rather big guy so I don't usually get affected by alcohol too quickly but I was starting to feel the effects almost immediately. Basically, you get a great amount of alcohol content for what you pay. Staff was also very easy to work with, very attentive, and served pretty quickly considering how many people were starting to fill the place. If I lived in Manhattan, this would probably be a place I'd hit up often.

    I can't believe we finally had good service in New York! I loved this place. We came in for wine and cheese and had the best time. It's a lovely atmosphere. Cozy and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to see there extensive wine list! Not to mention lots of good liquor options too. Everyday from 12-8 they have buy one get one on all there alcoholic beverages. I had an amazing petit sirah and my husband had the Malbec. Both were excellent. We ordered the meat cheese and olive plate and it was amazing. The serving could have easily fed four. We had the truffle tremor cheese and it was perfect. The herbed sausage was so good with the spicy mustard. It also came with a giant loaf of fresh bread, giant bowl of olives, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and apples. The food was perfect and the service was even better. So kind and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this place!

    Ten Degrees Bar is what every casual laid back bar should be...casual and laid back. It doesn't pretend to be anything else but a place to drink and socialize. I believe the best time to visit this bar is during the hours of 12pm-8pm which happens to be their happy hours! Like most places Ten Degrees will fill up later in the night and the happy hour ends in more ways than one. Ten Degrees offers 2-4-1 on all drinks! YES all drinks. Bartenders are super friendly and really funny. Even the people who come to the bar are very social and open to chat with new faces. I really have no complaints about Ten Degrees. My first experience was very pleasant and I was able to share drinks & appetizers with old and new friends. Ten Degrees is the perfect venue for a casual easy night with a group of friends. Enjoy!

    hmmm.... Cute place in a great area. PROS .. 2 for 1 drinks until 8pm CONS .. you could be waiting that long to order your first drink. This place is small and compact with terrible lighting .. in the heart of heart of the east village. They can stand to enhance the lighting enough to read the fold out small font menus. Ambiance is one thing, but complete darkness is something totally diffferent..The bathrooms lines move efficiently (a rarity in NYC venues ) but the mirrors can use some windex. The service was spotty on a busy night but the waitstaff is pleasent ... It takes forever to get an order in, and when there are 2 for's on the line.. time is of the essencce. A good statgegy on how not to lose money and save on product .. BRAVO! I will say my food came on time! Cocktails were ok and the food ( i had the procuitto and goat cheese pannini and side salad ) was great..and quite filling. They also played good music .. My friends an i even started dancing a little..lack of dance floor be damned ! All in all, I wont avoid going back, just now i know what to expect. Its a good after work place. I just wish thry didnt want to keep it so sexy with their terrible (mood) lighting.

    This place is amazing! A few of my friends and I wanted to go out for some drinks. The place we originally wanted to go to ended up being closed. We stumbled into this place just to get a cocktail and to make a game plan. The bartender Ryan was fantastic! Cocktails were amazing. We ended up having so much fun we got our large group of 12 to meet us here, and ended up all staying until the bar closed :) I was extremely pleased

    We were so happy with service from Paul and Lee! I was slightly worried about bringing my friends on a Friday night but the service was fantastic! I would recommend this place to anyone. Can't wait to go back with my friends from the NW- excited to show them a good time in a NY bar!

  • Danielle J.

    Still love the weekend 2 for 1s, and while it had been almost a year since my last visit, the deal, and drink options, are still great and worth trekking from the west village for. The raspberry chocolate martini is the phenomenal.

  • Jean V.

    What I once considered an East Village gem has become a watering hole for brats and bros with a rude waitstaff to match. I discovered the bar about four years ago when the company I work for moved into the nabe. The tasty food, drink deals and friendly staff (Frank, Jonas, to name a couple) made it a prime spot for long lunches with coworkers and after work drinks with friends. It felt like a neighborhood bar you could call your own. Today Ten Degrees is ran by an inconsiderate and immature staff. From bartenders making out with guests to others being close to blacking out while on he job, this "wine bar" has become a sloppy, frustrating mess. As a result the crowd has changed from locals of all ages and backgrounds to posers looking for a cheap cocktail.

  • Dianne R.

    2-for-1 happy hr per person until 8pm daily! Wine, liquor, beer - anything goes! We also had an amazing cheese and meats platter as well as the truly hearty beef stew - delicious! And very reasonable prices. To top everything off, we ended on a sweet note with the Belgium chocolate - magnifique! I'll definitely be back for the happy hour - maybe won't get too much food next time, but I did enjoy the cool bar/lounge feel. Music could have been better but we had a great time :)

    Who doesn't like 2 for 1 happy hour specials on the weekends? Went here with 3 friends on a Saturday evening. We were there around 7:30 and the place was already packed and standing room only. We all ordered cocktails, no wine. I had the Kentucky cocktail, which was Maker's Mark and pineapple juice- not bad! Also, my drink will filled to the brim, which is a plus. I actually wasn't able to finish it, so it cost me $11 (could've had 2 for $11 if I wanted to take advantage of the special.) Although my experience here was good, I'm hesistant to give this place 4 stars because I haven't tried the wine and I think that's what they're really all about. At least I have a reason to come back!

    Great wine bar, fancy cocktails, and good beer list (even some awesome local craft brews on tap. Can you say six point?). Amazing daily happy hour deal (2 for 1 on almost everything). Great ambiance, great vibe, and they pour the drinks strong. Perfect date spot.

  • Elissa V.

    This is my favorite happy hour place in Manhattan. And I'm a girl who loves a good happy hour. The drink deal is fantastic, particularly if you like to experiment with your drinks a bit more. Their cocktail list is extensive and includes a mean French 75-- my personal favorite. All drinks are 2 for 1 until 8 PM, which means you can have two well-made drinks for about ~$12. I've never eaten there, but boy are their drinks strong and tasty! I'm also a sucker for the ambiance of Ten Degrees. I love the seating area in the front, especially in the warmer months when they keep the front windows open. I'm also a fan of the lighting/light fixtures...they cast the perfect glow on the youngish, trendyish crowd. In my opinion, this is a "good for anything" kind of bar: dates, girls night out, jumping-off point. Makes me realllllly wish I lived in the East Village.

  • Ken C.

    One of fav east village spots. Nice tiny spot, great cocktails, def good date spot. ambiance is nice and dark, not much seating. this place def attracts a more mature trendy crowd than rest of st marks, great 2-1 specials for HH before 8pm. def a must try. This place can get pretty packed & not much standing room so try and come before peak hours

  • Brian S.

    I've been here a number of times for happy hour because they have 2 for 1s M-F until 8. But this place fills up real quick. I haven't been here one time when it was not packed out. But this is a go-to spot when looking for a happy hour place and I have not done happy hour in a long time. If you are lucky to grab a table than you are in good shape here. There are a few tables for larger groups, but for the most part, if you keep your party small to 4 people or less the small tables will provide you a home base. Otherwise you are standing around this place cramped and constantly moving around to avoid people walking around. Don't be afraid to venture to the back - there is another room there with tables and more room to hang out. Gotta really be assertive to grab a drink here, but once you get one, you will be good - the drinks are very well made.

  • Chris D.

    Holy happy hour, Batman! 2-for-1, Noon-8pm every day of the week. The drinks are ridiculously good (and really ridiculously strong). Great ambiance and impressive service for how busy they always are. Only thing that loses a star is it is super packed pretty much every day, which isn't really their fault, I guess.

    (4)
  • Mei Q.

    Great spot for happy hours and love their 2 for 1 deals before 8pm. I wish they can extend the time a little longer. this place is usually packed after 6pm so best suggestion is find a spot in the back room.

    An awesome little bar at the end of St. Marks that has a great Happy Hour from 12-8 where everything is 2 for 1, and I mean everything... from the wine to the prohibition drinks. Our bartender was super nice and also said that we didn't have to drink 2 of the same drink and only paid for the more expensive of the 2. Definitely a great place to end your work day or start up your weekend.

  • Marley N.

    This 3-star review is really an average of smaller reviews: Bartenders: 5 stars Hostesses: 2 stars Drinks: 4 stars The bartenders were gorgeous and friendly and wonderful. I love them. Marry me. A friend's friend organized a birthday here, and the hostesses messed up her reservation, offering her the worst worst tables instead of the ones she was entitled to (the front ones--they're the best). The place is pretty narrow, so, if you're with more than essentially one other person, you're going to want to book a table for safety and comfort's sakes! Anyway, they tried to help her but just weren't capable of managing the place well enough. The drinks were great and 2 fer one! I want to come here again and write an updated review where I truly figure out if this place is 2, 4, or 5 stars.

  • Gail G.

    I'm afraid this place is going to become too popular - because it's such a great find. Worth my trek from the Upper West Side! Their 2 for 1 cocktails are very fairly priced and are always delicious. Whether you have yours creative or classic like a Manhattan. Not skimpy, size wise, and Top Shelf!!! Fun, eclectic, crowd with a great "edgy" atmosphere. The bartenders are knowledgeable and helpful. The waitresses are very nice. And, did I mention, the guacamole is phenomenal! They have other food that's good too, but the guacamole comes to mind every time! On Saturday their happy hour is until 8:00pm!!!! But Flora H. is right - sometimes they can't handle all the people in regards to seating - otherwise I'd give them 5 stars!

  • Vivian H.

    A nice place to have a drink with friends on a week night. I heard this place can get scary on the weekends. We met up here on a Wednesday night and it was already close to 10pm with the place filled with people. I can only imagine what it is like on the weekends. It was warm and all the windows were open, so this place gives you a nice airy vibe and makes you feel like you are outside. Nice cozy tables and a great place to chat and catch up over a few draft beers. It is casual enough for friends, but also would work for an initial meet-up with a potential date. Wait staff were extremely nice and flirty. That's always a plus!

    Went there for our twin cousins' birthday earlier this month. The place is a typical village pub with loud music and lots and lots of young kids having fun. The mojitos were watery and the wine was also nothing great. We are not going back again.

  • Sue K.

    BOGO during HH for all their cocktails 7 days a week from noon to 8pm. This applies to all their cocktails, beers, wine and champagne. Hmm...I wonder if this also applies to their bottles? The place gets packed quickly after work so I advise that you come RIGHT after work. It also seems to get even more crowded after the HH ends. I've only tried the cocktails there. They aren't exactly craft cocktail status but I would drink these over wells any day!

    Went here because my friend and i were looking for a place with early happy hour on a Friday. I had the Lynchburg lemonade and some other drink called French something. Both my drinks were great. My friend ordered the margarita (wasn't too great, lacked alcohol). Ambiance is nice, cool place and decor

  • Joan X.

    Have had many a great night at this laid-back bar in the popular Saint-Marks neighborhood! Given its location, it can get quite crowded / loud over the weekend - not a place to expect a conversation that doesn't involve megaphoning your voice into someone else's ear, but happy hour over the week is a great catch-up place with an attractive (if dangerous) 2-for-1 offering. Their cocktail list is hit-or-miss for me - the drinks that I would recommend : lemon drop martini, blueberry mojito & campari champagne. The Godiva martini sounded heavenly, but didn't come across as well for some reason. Overall, a great place to target for an easy, enjoyable night... have run into old friends and interesting characters alike here.

  • Allison C.

    Went here for happy hour on a weeknight and I'm definitely going to be going back. They have 2 for 1 until 8pm (I think) on all drinks. Huge wine list, and a great selection of meats and cheeses. They let you mix and match 3 items from the meat/cheese selection if you're into that, and the plate they gave us was gorgeous for $21. Came with bread, mustard, figs, and some fruit. The bartender was helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends or even for a date. There's a great warmth about the decor, and I definitely look forward to going back.

  • Lizzie M.

    I absolutely adore this place. A friend and I met here one day for happy hour on a whim - she happened to see its stellar rating and suggested we try it out. I am so glad we did, because during my time in NY, this was my favorite wine bar/happy hour spot after that. The vibe is dim, lots of candles, and low-key classy and edgy with a sophisticated tint to it. Not too loud if you're in the more secluded area and a little more vibrant towards their lounge spot in the front. Their happy hour is fantastic - from 12-8pm (summer Fridays made this place that much more clutch) it was 2 for 1 drinks, 50% off glasses of wine, and a great deal on bottles after 8PM. It's great for small groups of friends or for couples. I never did get food but my friends did and the avocado Texas toast looked awesome. Their wine list is excellent and I am obsessed with their version of a Tom Collins. Service was always excellent in my opinion.I recommend coming before the happy hour officially starts - this place can get packed and it's not the type of place you'd want to/are able to stand!

    This place is pretty awesome the bar tender can be a bit douchey at times, but the drinks are great and are made strong. The pricing of the drinks is very reasonable and the wait staff is very helpful and accommodating. Also have a happy hour which runs till 8 PM is a win in my books.

  • Jess Y.

    I enjoyed my time there! Checked it out with a friend for their happy hours 2-for-1 till 8PM as noted by other yelpers. Overall the cocktails are pretty strong and tasty - I had 4 and they definitely got my head spinning towards the end. I was particularly surprised by the red sangria - pretty strong and delightful, though I was somewhat disappointed by the less-than-fresh mint in the mojitos. Food wise, we ordered the 2-person guac and the portion was so generous that we thought we mistakenly ordered the 4-person serving size! In the words of my wise friend, "I have never had it where we finished all the chips and there is still plenty of guac left!" We needed extra chips (and it was free!) to wash everything down. The only thing is that the guac was VERY salty and not nearly lime-y enough. Note to self - next time be sure to specify low-salt guac! Will definitely be back!

  • Donna A.

    I was looking for a place with a good happy hour and came across this bar, read some pretty good reviews, and decided to check it out. Best decision of my life (slight exaggeration). I got here a little before 6 on a Wednesday night and expected it to be swarming with people based on the previous reviews. While waiting for friends, I propped myself up on the bar perused the extensive drink menu, and became friendly with the nice dude sitting next to me. He was a regular at the bar which said a lot about the place. The bartender was super chill and made some good strong drinks. After some time, people came and went and it got busy (fun, Wed night kinda busy). This will definitely be a go to spot this summer. Oh- Ten Degrees and I are Facebook friends, so you know this relationship is on a whole new level now!

  • Julia B.

    Cute, narrow bar that serves a great happy hour - 2 for 1 til 8pm! Although there's no patio, they have the window open in the front so makes you feel that you are sitting outside. But in any case, this place is well ventilated (I sat right by the fan so I was easy breezy all night) so you never feel like it gets too hot with all the people. Plenty of seating, even a private room in the back. Great drinks menu. Plenty of beers, cocktails and vino to choose from. I stuck with the Crispin Cider as usual. Service started out great when we got there at 5:15pm-ish because it was still relatively quiet. Our friendly waitress kept an eye out on us, refilling our empty glasses quickly. Then, as the night progressed and it got busier, it took longer and longer for us to get our drinks. But it happens. Great place for a date or catching up with friends.

    Such a fun place! My friend and I were in the city visiting, and heard that St. Marks was a great area to stop and grab some drinks. We weren't sure exactly where to go, but this place caught our eye, so we decided to stop in. We came here on a Tuesday night, and it was hopping. Busy, but not too busy. The interior is very cozy and welcoming. Frank the bartender was great at his job and very friendly! Have him make you a raspberry mojito - you will NOT regret it! So good. The sangria was great as well. We also ordered some small plates. We got the Crostini Santorini and "The Best Guacamole" as they call it. Let me tell you, it really is the best guacamole. It was delish. This is the place to go. There's just an awesome vibe and we had so much fun. It's too bad that we discovered this place on our last night in the city! Will definitely be returning if I ever get the chance!

    I hope they don't make ripping off patrons a habit. The extremely over-bearing, catty, and self-absorbed bartender (we didn't get a name but he's a handsome man with dark hair and dark eyes who was the bartender last night, 09/03) would NOT let us order the sangrias that my friend and I kept trying to order. He insisted on making us custom drinks through 4 bouts of protest. Finally, we let him do it and they were good but he kept leaning towards us at the bar and saying mean-hearted things about other customers (whom he didn't know) without giving us a moment to express our disinterest in 5th grade antics. Then, when we were finally so annoyed that we downed our drinks and asked for the check, he slapped us with a $24 bill for drinks we hadn't even wanted in the first place. Then he changed the amount to $26 dollars for no reason while he insulted another female customer. Apparently he hates that women use men for drinks - which no woman in the bar was doing. The woman he was treating as a criminal was paying for the rounds of shots herself. As a traveler to the city visiting a close friend, this was my only bad experience and I implore them to do and hire better. I will not be going back.

    At first, I thought this was only a wine bar, but they actually have cocktails here. T comes here and told me we should meet here and so T got a couple of beers, while I just stuck with the Caipirinha. Really good. I gave four stars because I love the music here. Too bad no dancing!

  • Mona L.

    Best Happy Hour deal in NYC! From 5 to 8pm daily, you get your choice of any drinks on the menu which includes wines and amazing cocktails from mojitos, martinis to their infamous caipirinhas. the difference between this type of deal compared to others is the "no strings attached" drinks and the individual orders. You can't share the second half of the drink; instead, you get issued a ticket to get your second drink after. This only means you are in for a night of drinking. It's nice to know though that you can get your second drink beyond the 8pm time to pace yourself. A private party can be held in a semi-enclosed space at the back, too, at no extra charge-- a resource worth knowing in the city. I haven't really tried their food but their guac chips appetizer are as good as most places, only thing is the serving size is kind of whack--guacamole is disproportionately larger than the size of chips. My experience here in the weekday was nice, however, heard this place can get a little annoying or even "seedy" in the weekends. Take advantage of the front area space especially right around now during nice weather.

    This is decidedly not a destination bar, but if you're in the neighborhood and looking for the next stop of the evening - definitely hop into Ten Degrees. Nice, friendly ( and cute!) service, decently priced drinks, mixed clientele (in a good way!), and low-key vibe. Doz it.

  • John H.

    This is one of the best happy hours in the city. The special is 2 for 1 until 8:00 every day. Yes, there are other places that offer the same or similar prices, but what makes Ten Degrees stand out is the quality of the offerings. They have about a dozen tasty cocktails and tons of different beers and wines. My favorite was called Horse's Neck or something like that- a mild taste with astronomical ABV. Yum! Late night on the weekends, this turns into a standard preppy East Village bar. It's not bad, but there are better and more unique options in the area. I mostly go here at the start of the night. Some people complain about the service, but I've never had anything close to resembling a problem. The staff is always knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, even when we were in a rush. Overall, excellent happy hour worth going out of your way for. It never gets too rowdy, so it's perfect for a date or a small group of people.

    Great place to chill in the east village w/ a nice ambiance and good music. The bar tends to fill up early so, unless you want to wait, try and get there on the earlier side of 6PM. If it's packed when you arrive, head to the air-conditioned back room - the bar gets very hot very quickly because of its open-to-the-air design. The cocktails are hit or miss but they have a decent wine list and a great happy hour deal - 2-for-1 drinks from 1 to 8. I also highly recommend indulging in the sliders & cheese platters (super yummy). I'd give this place a higher rating if the staff was more attentive - they're clearly overworked and can be very rude.

    As everyone has already claimed, this is the best place for happy hour. It's 2 for 1 drinks daily until 8pm. The have a very nice wine and cocktail list, while the beer selection is just okay (mostly bottled beer with only four local draft beers). The normal price of each cocktail is about $11-14, and beer is $6-10, so the happy hour gives you a good deal. You might think that these prices don't sound that great, but this place is not a dive bar. This place has a really classy, and intimate feel with small lit candles in each table. The only similarity it has with a typical dive bar is the noise. Every time I come here it is very loud, and looks crazy packed, but I have been fortunate enough to have never had to wait for a table. Even though it looks pretty tight in here, I was still able to come in with a group of 10, and sit in their small back area that included some couches, so that was definitely a plus.

    I love this place for its happy hour. It's become a regular haunt for my former college roommate and I to catch up while getting pleasantly sloshed. It's 2 for 1 until 8 pm, so you can imagine we make the exception and ditch out of work early for this one. Nice selection of wines by the glass, covering the range of what you could be into. Former roomie Melga Smarmy* loves her some bourbon and she never seems disappointed. I can't say word one about the beer selection, but the bartender that is always there is really friendly despite (I would imagine) being a little overwhelmed by the business of the after work crowd. In our tipsiness, we usually order a panini "to share" (then of course get another one "to share" ... women.) and we've had the cheese plate as well. Pretty darn good for a wine bar on St. Mark's. There must be something in the salad dressing on the salad that comes with the paninis because we are always fork battling for the last piece of lettuce.** We usually hit this place up on Wed/Thurs, so it's not too crowded or rowdy, but I will admit when I've walked by here on a weekend night, it's seemed kindof a burgeoning mess. However, I was usually taking note in the first place because I was pointing out the place to the friends I was with, telling them about mine and Melga Smarmy's favorite catch up spot. So, go during the week and get your booze on for cheap. -- * Names have been changed to protect the (not so) innocent. ** We've always been competitive.

    ** happy hour review. ten degrees like any bar in st marks is a hit or miss, you can either grab a seat or feel squished with a bunch of other ppl.. the times that i have been are usually earlier in the day esp for the 2 for 1 happy hour so ive been able to sit at the bar or a table or with a larger group in the back room. i will pop in to see if it's packed and if it is, then i just move onto the next bar! i'm a fan of the st germaines and the waitresses have always been nice so never had a bad experience and love the happy hour deals!

    Beautiful little gem located in the heart of the East Village. This is a wine bar/gastropub with all of the fixings that allow you to have an enjoyable evening after work. The bar is small, intimate, and includes a brick interior which just screams NYC. I came here for happy hour for their 2-for-1 drink special, evening out your drinks to a mere $5 a piece. And these are not just drinks, these are delicious concoctions made right. I enjoyed the Sangria and Mojito, each were delicious. My friend also decided to order food, and although small, her food was "delicious". If you are ever in the East Village after a long day at work, definitely check this place out. And, I for sure, will be venturing over to the east to quench my thirst at some point in the near future. Cheers!

    Nice ambience. Very friendly staff. I didn't come during happy hour so it wasn't that packed. Will probably come back for the 2 for 1 deal some time. Prices are a little high during regular hours but this is a classy place so not really the locale for getting plastered anyways. Great for couples and small groups.

    Ten degrees has happy hour is 2-for-1 beer and cocktails all week and weekend long from 12pm - 8pm. The atmosphere pretty much matches the other bars on St. Marks; casual, but you won't look like a jerk if you dress up either. On Mondays, they have half-off bottles of wine. If you venture over here on a Friday, don't get discouraged by the crowd outside. If you head into Ten Degrees, there's an area in the back that is less crowded (no guarantees). They also have more than just bar food. Their duck tartinès are out of this world! Ten Degrees resides on a solid part of St. Marks so you can hop around without walking too far, but you will also be just as happy setting up camp for the night at Ten Degrees too.

    My group From Grapes to Glass did a wine crawl on Saturday afternoon in the East Village and 10 Degrees was our second stop. We were a pretty large group; 25 strong and they gave us the back room. Let me start by saying that the service is absolutely fantastic!! Warm, friendly and with big, big smiles. Colleen and Claudia, we love you both!! The wine selection is really fantastic with great selections from Portugal, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain. The purpose of this crawl was to get people to step outside of their comfort zones and try new wines and 10 Degrees is a perfect choice to do just that. We loved the funky atmosphere, the cool music and that real downtown casual hip vibe that 10 degrees completely owns. They have an excellent menu of small plates and there is even a short list for chocolate lovers!! Here is the best part, we had our wine and snacks and it was contest time. We did a sing down and everyone split up into groups and had to come up with a song that referenced wine. When it was time to perform. Claudia and Colleen and a couple of the patrons were our judges!! It was a blast!! Hands down 10 Degrees was a super high point in our crawl and the entire group agreed that we would all be back and recommend it as a must go-to spot. Thanks 10 Degrees!! You made our day great!!

    The East Village has a ton of happy hour options, but this one should be at the top of your list for ambiance, drink specials and food! I've been here a number of times for happy hour, which lasts until 8 and includes 2 for 1 drinks (this amazingly applies to bottles of wine as well). Service at 10 Degrees is consistently good, even when the place is crowded and we're a large group of people. Between my multiple visits, I've had the guac, cheese plate, and the prosciutto panini here and the food does not disappoint. Good portion sizes and the appetizers are large enough to share. It does get quite crowded and loud here, so get there on the early side of happy hour if you want to settle in.

    Yay, I'm a fan of Ten Degrees Bar! My sister and her best guy friend are practically regulars at this East Village bar, and I can see why. 2 for 1 drink special on ALL drinks (and even if you order one bottle of wine) alone is a reason to keep coming back. Both times we went we ordered off their cocktail list, which I have to say is both extensive and inventive! I got a cocktail that's very much like my all-time favorite drink, whiskey and ginger. The Dougie Mix as they call it, is one better as it's served with Makers Mark AND ginger beer. The ginger flavor is so prominent, yet the Makers still very present--LOVE! The decor is classic with exposed bricks, and black, red and dark wood furniture. Staff is accommodating and friendly. Oh, and the best part, though happy hour is till 8pm, you're not limited to having both drinks by 8. Nice that they serve food and desserts. The chocolate menu, yes I said it, the chocolate menu was very tempting..perhaps if I was having wine. The aforementioned, in addition to just overall great atmosphere and vibe make Ten Degrees deserving of four stars!

    Went here on a Tuesday afternoon for happy hour and after an hour I was very happy. Happy enough to go to class pretty crunk with money still in my wallet. Needless to say my participation grade in that class went up, up, up. I tend to be a pretty big talker when I'm tipsy. It's 2 for 1 drinks on the whole menu. So if you want a cocktail get a cocktail. If you want a beer get a beer. The bartender's extremely friendly so next time you go there, give him a huge smile for me.

    Super cute wine bar with a great happy hour (2 for 1 ohh yea). A great selection of cocktails (lots of great gin cocktails - try Paul's Bambino with chambord/gin) and wines. I also tried the food, which was very well priced. The sliders were small, but not bad; the pasta (with goat cheese, proscuitto, rigatoni) was heavy, cheesy, and perfect for the night out I had ahead of me. A great place for a date or casual meal. It can get crowded around the end of happy hour, but get there a little before then, grab a seat, and chat away.

    We strolled into Ten Degrees around 7 pm on a Friday evening. They had the big doors open and the noise from the bar was welcoming. The decor of this place captured me right away, with big ottomans in the front with couch like seating, then a bar area, and down what may seem like a narrow hallway was cafeteria style seating along with taller bar tables. We got an hour of happy hour under our belt which was more than enough! What's great about this spot is they allow you to order off their cocktail menu rather than just offering well liquor for happy hour. I would highly suggest trying the Lynchberg Lemonade which was delish as well as the French 75 and but the Moscow mule was okay. My friend ordered a caprese salad and let's just say they don't skimp on Mozz! They could have hooked it up with a few more tomatoes and another sprig of basil but that's okay. The mozz was fresh and with a little balsamic drizzle it was a good way to kick off appetizers. The service was great, and for a busy bar very attentive. They turned out the drinks rather quickly as well. I was able to have three cocktails within the time we had left for happy hour and lets just say it was more than enough! Great little spot if your in the village and looking for a place to grab a drink with either a date or some friends.

    Chances are that if you're looking at this page, you've already heard about the 2-for-1 daily deal. That's because the 2-for-1 daily happy hour from 12-8pm really is all that and a bag of chips. Why? 1) The drinks are GOOD. How many times have you had a fairly disgusting $5 house red or white wine? You can have much tastier wines (or craft beers, or interesting cocktails) here for the same price before 8PM. 2) OK, so there are some not-so-great wines on the list, too - but not that many, and the long, reddish-brown, straight haired waitress is refreshingly blunt in her suggestions. Trust her and go for the other Pinot Noir. 3) Despite a number of ridiculous wine tasting notes such as "a touch of forest floor", this place is not actually very pretentious on the whole. The overall ambiance is nice and can work just as well for a couple feeling cozy or a group of friends looking to catch up. All that being said, I should note that the happy hour is very strictly 2-for-1 PER PERSON. You cannot share the happy hour with another person. Sadly I only discovered this after my boyfriend and I were each 3 drinks in (disc: I'm a lightweight) and ready to settle the bill and were shocked to see ourselves charged for 4 drinks. I personally don't think the strict per-person rule really makes sense, and I said so at the time in a haughty, hastily written, customer-is-always-right note on our receipt. Our waitress (dark hair, glasses) read the note and graciously and without a hint of malice wrote down the restaurant email for me so that I could share my thoughts with the manager. Two weeks later I still hadn't emailed the manager, but was glad I tipped that waitress as well as I did because I wanted to come back and really, who am I to seriously complain about the terms of a full drink menu, 2-for-1, 8-hour long happy hour? Bottom line: 2-for-1 happy hour with delicious wine/beer/cocktail selection is absolutely the #1 reason to come to Ten Degrees Bar, though the pleasant ambiance certainly doesn't detract.

    I love this bar. Ever since I was introduced to it about 5 years ago this has been my go to place to meet friends. You can tell that many others have the same sentiment as I always see at least one first date happening here whenever I've been here. That means people find the place comfortable and the wait staff friendly. My St. Marks two step procedure always involves downing some dumplings at Dumpling Man farther down across the street and imbibing a mojito or a glass of Merlot at Ten Degrees. The reverse order works for me as well.

    Based solely on the drink specials, I can't afford NOT to go there. I've been a handful of times for drinks and it never disappoints. Yes, the place gets crowded but come on, it's a bar in a lively neighborhood with a happy hour, so what exactly would you expect? Even when crowded, the service is still great and the drinks arrive quickly. My last trip there was this past Friday around 5. Shortly thereafter, every seat was full & the place was swinging. After a few drinks, I was feeling exceptionally carnivorous and ordered a meat (+cheese) plate. This was my first experience with food there and the spread was pretty good, and also included some fruit which was delish. It's a pretty laid back vibe and totally the kind of place where you'll end up chatting with strangers. If it weren't for the fact that I live more than a few blocks away, I'd be there more often building up my tolerance for the delicious bourbon drinks.

    Thanks to my dear friend Daphne W., I think I have just discovered the best happy hour spot in the EV. Arguably one of the best happy hour deals in the entire city. Unlike the average bar/resto that offers $3 beers and $5 watered down well drinks during happy hour, Ten Degrees Bar lets you order any 2 drinks of your choice for the price of 1. That's right, ANY 2 that you heart could possibly desire! Getting everything from a full glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a sweet red sangria, minty fresh margarita and dry Tom Collins... the combinations and choices are freaking endless. As you can tell, this place can get real dangerous real fast... Besides the awesome drink deal that should draw anyone with any common sense in the door, the food here isn't shabby either. I was thoroughly impressed with how fresh and flavorful the guacamole here is, served in a generous portion and seconds on the tortilla chips. The ambiance and service here is top-notch as well, as sophisticated and intimate as any wine bar - yet with the same level of service as a neighborhood joint frequented by regulars. They do fill up pretty fast after about 6:30pm. But that's alright with me, I have no problem at all with drinking at 5pm, or 2pm.

    I am VERY put off reading these reviews where the owner responds to negative reviews. He seems extremely rude and I really wanted to go to this bar. I don't usually let negative reviews color my desire to try a place, but in this case the owner himself has killed any desire I have to EVER try this place.

    10 Degrees boasts a great happy hour deal... however it does get packed pretty quickly with many taking advantage of 2 for 1s till 8pm. I'd suggest getting there early to snag a spot at the bar or for any hope of the bartender catching your eye. While the cocktails are really nothing to write home about, the vibe of this place is cool, laid back, and fun. Solid wine list though... should have stuck to Vino and avoided the hard stuff... I know, I know. The interior is dark and sexy and perfect for meeting up with friends after work. A solid happy hour option on St Marks and a good way to get your evening started.

    This is probably my favorite happy hour spot in the entire city...ever. Ok so maybe I've played it out a bit the last few months, but the 2 for 1 happy hour til 8pm EVERYDAY and half priced bottles of wine on Mondays is never a let down. They have a good selection of wines, cocktails, and beers. Even during happy hour, the specialty cocktails are strong. The vibe is cool yet laid back. I've never tried the food except for some of their cheeses. To be honest, I probably wouldn't bother to come here after 9pm only because it's just so much more worth it to come for happy hour - and a happy hour where you're not restricted to well drinks, house wine, and certain beers. Happy hour here is totally worth it.

    Nice cute bar with a huge room at the back. I like and dislike this place because drink are strong. I like strong drinks because they are... strong lol. I dislike them because they make me get drunk faster (I'm a lightweight). I had the caipirinha. It was good. I noticed a lot of people drinking long islands. Only thing was the long islands weren't' even brown, they were colorless because the amount of liquor in it far outweighed the amount of coke. Then I had a glass of riesling... trying to look classy while drunk. Can't really go wrong with looking classy.

    "Quintessential Wine Bar" I generally stay away from St. Marks Place. And if you don't know why, it will be a waste of time to read anything else I'm going to write in this review. The wine selection is nice and the place looks slightly upscale, especially for this neighborhood. BUT what is really amazing is that the atmosphere is festive but not the over-the-top ex-frat boy crowd doing bad shots - which is typical of this street. You might even find yourself next to a relatively attractive person. It has some sophistication, yet the place is warm and inviting.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great, especially for a late Monday night. The pasta in particular was great. Pasta is usually a throwaway item on the menu, but even though the dish was really simple it was done well. Also a nice touch from our server, we were a party of 3 and we ordered the chocolate covered strawberries for dessert and she threw in an extra one so we each got 2! Only minus star was for how LOUD the music was. We had to yell at each other to be heard.

    I have been to Ten Degrees twice now, once for after dinner drinks with a group of friends and this past Saturday for a birthday party. Both were Saturday nights and both times the place was uncomfortably packed, but being its a pretty tiny wine bar, its not hard for it to get shoulder to shoulder. Both times I never even got to try some wine! I had a mixed drink or two from their cocktails menu, pricey, and not very strong, but still tasted delicious. The first night I was there they played some great popular songs (but nothing too top 40) and it even got some people moving. This past Saturday I got to experience the back room since it was reserved for the party. Kudos to them having two separate bathrooms back there, made it much easier for the group of us. Again, i passed on wine and only had a jack and coke but it was strong. Servers were friendly and attentive, even standing on the couches to see if anyone needed them ha. I like the bar, but I'd rather return mid week and enjoy a glass of wine (for once!) with less of a crowded atmosphere.

    Awesome happy hour... especially if you are tired of going to happy hour bars where the wine tastes like...cheap wine. Only good though if you can manage to snag a seat as it is awkward to stand around. The bartenders are great. They get friendlier as you go more often... they also seem friendlier as you go for your 4th nicely poured wine! Haven't tried too much of the food. Had a fresh mozzarella panini and it was ok.

    I'm not a planner--more of a "tell me where to be and when to be there" type of person. So getting a group of twenty-something people together for a surprise birthday party gave me a slight anxiety attack. But working out the details with Moti went swimmingly. He was incredibly patient despite my planning shortcomings and also super-responsive. On the night of the party, the back room was perfectly private and, while the bartenders were busy as all hell, they were still pleasant and accommodating. Happy patron here!

    Ten Degrees is honestly one of my favorite bars ever for happy hour. It's buy one get one of ANYTHING they have from noon-8pm every.single.day . Danger, danger. Their drinks are strong and delicious. I've found myself here for many different occasions and it seems to be fitting for them all. Drinks with friends? Perfect. Date? Perfect. Catching up with someone from out of town? Perfect. I've had some of their food as well and it's okay, but I'd stick to the drinks unless you're starving. The guac has way too much lime. The waitresses here are also great and really attentive. In the warmer months they open up the windows/doors in the front and you almost feel like you're sitting outside. If you're in the East Village in search of drinks Ten Degrees isn't to be missed.

    Review update! I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and reserved the front couch area. To reserve this area, you just need to fulfill a minimum of $250 in drinks which can easily be consumed with friends. You must order from the server though who comes around frequently. Claudia, was very nice and took good care of us. I've always been a fan of Ten Degrees with their good wine selection and good service. The place is very chill, with the front couches, tables, even a back room to just hang out. Do keep in mind, it gets crowded. They do have awesome happy hour specials too- two for one before 8pm and on Monday nights half price bottles of wine. One of my go-to spots in the city. Ah, I miss NYC.

    Best happy hour. It's 2 for 1, service is great, and the drinks are beautifully made--not to mention strong. I literally went from buzzed to gone in the span of 3 drinks. The cocktails were delicious, which makes them even more dangerous in the best of ways. I would recommend coming Mon-Thurs by 6PM. If you wanted to stop by on a Fri, it's best to get here early (before 5:30PM). The venue is pretty small, and it gets packed very quickly.

    A little wine bar located on the East edge of town in Alphabet City, this place gets -packed- on the weekend nights. Lots of people, drinks are normal-priced, and the music is loud. You can reserve the large room in the back (friend did that for a birthday that I attended), and there's tight walking space up to the front (watch the steps!) and a bouncer checking IDs at the door. Thin place - like a hollowed-out first floor of one of the row houses there. Relaxed and mixed crowd here. No chance to sample any food here, but the mixed drinks were of average quality (they really do concentrate on wine & beer here, but the shots were chilled nicely).

    I went here with a group of friends on a saturday night after a nice dinner in the east village based on a friend's recommendation from his experiences going here for happy hour. We were looking for a spot where the music wouldn't drown out our conversations while we enjoyed a few drinks. After making it through the crowd to finally order drinks, the bill seemed higher than expected. After checking the bill, I noticed the bartender had charged me 20% gratuity for the round of drinks I had ordered. Never have I ever seen a bar include gratuity on a drink order. I'm normally one to tip generously, but this tactic appeared to be fishing for large tips. One of the other people in our party was also charged a higher amount for his second order of the same drink. One would reasonably expect a standard price for the same drink at a bar. If I order a Brooklyn Lager for $7 and then I order it again and it comes out to $9, the math just doesn't make sense. In writing this review, I have noticed a similar pattern of others complaining about monetary issues concerning this bar. There are lots of better bars in the area. Save the hassle and go somewhere else.

    A friend and I went for happy hour. The drink specials were good - two for one until 8pm. The ambiance is nice if a bit dark. I have to say the "gastropub" designation (which drew me in) is a stretch. Their beer list was lackluster and they only had four beers on tap ($7). The food is mostly wine-pairing food: cheese, charcuterie, and chocolate. So we split a beef stew. Hey it sounded good at the time. It was not very good. The beef was dry and it was over cilantro-ed (and I thought it not possible). All in all, go here for a wine bar.

    When I was a young lad, my drinking evenings used to begin at midnight in super crowded clubs...yea, my post-collegiate stamina was hella dope. ...alas, I'm getting older...so now I like to kick it geriatric-style and hit up happy hours with my "mature" yuppie squads. East village bars are tailor made for my old-ass lifestyle...and Ten Degrees Bar is perfect...with its 2 for 1 drink special, large comfy couches, intimate interior decor, vast wine selection, and sedate vibe... Let's just say that these days, I appreciate good conversation with slight slurring in a smooth spot that has zero pretentions. Man, I need to be put out to pasture.

    I have a pretty good feeling that if I were a resident of East Village, I'd certainly be the Duke of Ten Degrees before you could say Gewürztraminer! I've been a sucker for wines as of late, so naturally, bars that specialize in providing exceptional fermented yum yums has been my bag... and upon needing to burn some time waiting for a reservation at Please Don't Tell down the street, I was lured into Ten Degrees by the great music streaming from within, the attractive looking clientele, and best of all, their 2-for-1 happy hour from 4:00pm - 8:00pm! I'm not certain how often they break out that economy-busting special, but it was one of the best deals I saw all weekend in NYC. Usually when you go to a bar that has a gimmick like this, the only drinks that qualify are the crappiest of rotgut well drinks... but at Ten Degrees, nothing is off limits! Feel like getting a buy-one-get-one-free glass of $14 Petit Syrah? Have at it! You can even mix and match if you'd like, settling on a glass of vino, then moving onto a hand-stirred Manhattan if that tickles your fancy. Love it! In addition to the smokin' deals, the staff and patrons are all really cool, and it has that cozy feel that sucks you in like a Siren from Homer's Odyssey. What started off as a way to burn 10-15 minutes extended into a 2+ hour hang. I can only imagine this spell is cast on most folks who saunter through their doors.

    This is definitely a great neighborhood bar to come to if you're just looking to catch up with someone during the week. They have a decent wine and beer selection, the interior is really nice, and during the warmer months they open up the windows so you can kind of feel like you're outside. The 2 for 1 happy hour is also pretty clutch. So all of that considered, it's a pretty good date spot since they're not blasting music or anything like that. They have what looks like a pretty good menu to feast on as well, but didn't get a chance to dig in.

    Really cute place with a bunch of trendy people and music but this place is extremely tiny and fills up so fast. A few people that was joining our group traveled from Westchester was denied entry due to "over capacity". It was even harder for us to reach the enormous bar that took up most of the space so we had to break out kind of early. Overall we had some great drinks just wasn't feeling the tightness.

    St. Marks can be a bit of a hit-or-miss kinda thing. I would say that Ten Degrees is mostly a miss. Decor: hit Ambiance: miss Music: miss Wine list: hit Beer list: miss Happy hour: hit Loudness: miss Apart from the happy hour deal which, I'll admit it, is pretty sweet (2 for 1 until 8 pm). I am not sure what this place has going for it. It seems to me like a place in search of its soul. This place aims to be a wine bar, but then why have the music blasting dubious masterpieces like this youtube.com/watch?v=mCiV… Add to that the fact that the place is crowded, narrow, and generally loud, and you get the picture. Also, it's certainly nice to have a great wine selection, but why only 4 beers on tap? Ok, everybody love some Sweet Action, and Blue Moon is always solid, but is that it? Somehow my friends loved this place. Maybe it's me...

    Wine bars, how I love thee. You may be pricey at times. And you may be so dimly lit at times that it is often hard to even see your wine, but I still love you. And when I was walking around NYC, not knowing where I was really or what I wanted to do, the moment I laid eyes on you Ten Degrees Bar, I found happiness. There is something about a good wine bar that just makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. Maybe it is all of the wine and the antioxidants you are taking in, but I just feel at home sitting in a dark wine bar like this one, sipping on some imported wine from spain or argentina. The bar tenders here are attentive, and so attentive, I quickly learned that there were a ton of regulars here at this bar. Definitely not the cheapest of wine bars, but they have a small interesting beer selection here too, which made Matt J. happy and made me happy that I could get my glass of malbec and sit and just chat the night away. The vibe in this bar is pretty cool, and it is bigger than it looks from the outside. They don't have one of those double doors though, and since it was semi snowing outside that night, every time that door opened I worried my wine was going to turn into a wine popsicle! Luckily it didn't, but for how much each glass is, and all of the hype people do to keep wine at the perfect temperatures, you would think they would get a double door or something here!

    I loved this place! A friend and I went for the infamous happy hour and were really happy. The cocktails were great, the waitresses were sweet as can be and very quick, and the atmosphere was cute. (I have to say, I completely disagree that a $1 tip per drink is acceptable. That would be fine if the drinks were $3 or $4 each, but they aren't. If a drink is priced at $11, a $1 tip is less than 10%, and just because there is a drink special doesn't mean you should screw the staff. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to drink). I would definitely come back!

    Great happy hour. I've been here numerous times with no problems of over charging except one. I called the bartender on it and he got really huffy and turned into a real prick but did fix the over charges. Based on previous reviews if you don't pay attention here you can f'd on the bill. Overall though, a good experience.

    Tom Collins and I are good friends. I recently decided to try the other drinks and it confirmed my date's suspicion that the bartender is an artist. The Lemon Drop Martini sounds like it would be a liquid Jolly Rancher but it strikes the right balance of its ingredients. The French 75 is also a top-notch drink that goes down like a politician's favorite secret. Nik's Moscow Mule and the Gimlet are solid drinks that seem to transcend their basic ingredients. 2-1 Happy Hour from 12-8pm daily. Great spot for a date. My date is loyal to the Godiva Chocolate and Raspberry Vodka Martini, a tribute to its awesomeness because she is a tough critic.

    Wow does this place get loud and packed for HH! They have some good music going on - I found you ms new booty ;) we got lucky and some cocktail host asked us if we wanted a table and we got a seat pretty quickly! drinks are so cheap and good here too.... they were 2 for 1! I noticed a lot of people eating too so they do have a menu but we did not grab food here. Just some drinks, and us yelling at each other since the music was so loud, but I didn't mind!

    Because you just can't have one... This place forces you to have 2 drinks during their 2 for 1 Happy Hour weekdays til 8pm. I guess you could forego the second drink, but c'mon, it's free. Pure genius and a great deal! I was here last Tuesday with some friends for my Birthday Happy Hour. There was a steady flow of people, great music, and drinks at this establishment. We decided to hang in the bar area rather than get a table in the back so we could interact with the other bar peeps. This place is a great place for dates too as we encountered several here on OKC first dates. When I looked at my photos from that night the next day, I noticed several photobombers in the pics. Love it! I had the skirt steak sliders which were super juicy and flavorful. I had a few margaritas, red red wine, and also a birthday cake shot (thanks Ryan). My friends and I had a great time. I found this place by scrolling through Yelp a week before and it's nice to know that everyone was right about this place...It's solid. Thanks Yelp! Ryan was at the bar and always made sure he had our second drink ready right as we were finishing our first one. My friends and I will definitely be back.

    You're set if you can score the back room. Otherwise... W-H-A-T????? We were disappointed when we entered and were seated (we had reservations) in the main room where it was so LOUD (patrons more than music) that the only way I could communicate-- even to the person sitting next to me-- was by touch. (And he wasn't that good-looking.) We ordered our GOLDSTAR ISRAELI BEER-- nice, easy to drink--, and a cheese plate or something. (THERE IS NO HOT/PREPARED FOOD (except sliders) AFTER 9PM!) It was clearly going to be a "one drink and we're outta here" night. But then we discovered THE BACK ROOM. Our waitress told us that one of the two tables there was becoming free, the current occupants were "just paying their bill, but dawdling a bit." Doc walked into the room and shot them dead. We pulled the bodies onto the street and MOVED TO THE BACK ROOM. It was quiet bliss. We could talk, have a feeling of luxury, and enjoy several servings of sliders and cheese. The bill came to about $40 each. A bit pricey, but not bad for the (eventual) ambience. --Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers, a different bar every week

    I recently discovered one of the best happy hours in the EV: buy one drink, get one free! The place has great music and great vibes. I think this could be one of my favorite spots for the area. The bartenders come swiftly and are thoughtful and easy going. I really appreciate the bartender Tayla, who recommended the best white wine when then one I wanted was out. She goes out of her way to make sure you are doing well. Definitely check her and the team out. It's worth more than just 2-4-1.

    I've never reviewed this place? Well I should. Because I'm here all the time. It's my go to place to take friends to have good conversations. It can be pretty loud but when you sit in the back that somehow doesn't matter. The loud crowds of teeny boppers in the front can be deceiving. There's actually a lot of back room if you can push through. My favorite thing about this place is its amazing two for one happy hour special. Whatever you get, whether it's a cocktail or a bottle of wine, every day from 12 - 8, you get another one free! It's not just on weekdays...Saturday too. The cheese plates are affordable and great. The best cheeses are offered and most of the time available. The servers are slow and often don't come back so you have to be aggressive to grab them. But I come to this place multiple times a week because it's an awesome dive.

    I came here yesterday for happy hour. They have an amazing happy hour special: buy one drink, get one free. They also have a buy one, get one deal for pitchers of sangria. I've never heard of a happy hour deal that great! I was drinking margaritas and they were really good. They were pretty strong, which I liked because often times margaritas aren't that strong. My friends drank rose sangria and they really liked it. We ordered the chips and guacamole and two paninis. The food was ok. The panini bread was a little bit too toasted. The bar had a back room that wasn't crowded. We took it over with about 12 people. They had a server attend to us. I liked that we had our own separate space. Overall, I really liked this place. You can't beat the happy hour specials!!

  • Melissa Z.

    I love their 2 for 1 happy hour deal. We stopped in a little after 4 on a Friday for some drinks. Strong speakeasy style drinks at a price that cannot be beat in the city. It's hard to find a good strong drink during HH in any city much less NYC but this place is awesome. It has a wine bar type feel. Light modern rock playing in the background. The music selection that afternoon was kinda depressing - think Adele. Still, A great place to have a conversation. There were a few people here already but we had our choice of seats. It has some windows so you don't feel like you're in a cave which I like. I would come back.

    The boyfriend and I have wanted to spend our night at Ten Degrees for the longest time. They have happy hour daily from 12-8pm, which is get 2 drinks for the price of 1 - that's probably the best bargain I've ever encountered. The place is very spacious; they even have a back room. The waitresses are very on-point here; they get you your drink in less than 5 minutes and it's legit. Just because it's happy hour, they don't skimp on the alcohol, just sayin'. Delicious drinks, nice vibe and the meat and cheese platter is such a bargain. So much food that can last you through the nice with endless amount of drinks. The front of the place is great for socializing with lounge chairs and seats by the bar. Further in, you get a little more intimate with couches and high stools and tables. The farthest seating in the back room is more intimate with deep red lighting. I can see why Ten Degrees get so much positive ratings, I'm definitely a fan.

    Ten Degrees Bar NY Manhattan St. Marks 11:45pm Friday 29th May 2015 Two Stars Upon entering the Security told us that the A/C was broken. It was not 10 degrees inside here but like 85 and humid. It took a bit to get a drink. I ordered a Templeton rye and the bartender gave three. I have no idea why other than there was three of us. He just acted like "what I am suppose to do about it" so I said it was fine and paid the $52 tab which is a weird $17.33 per drink. Live and Learn.

    Perfect for Happy Hour! While searching for a new place to try I came across Ten Degrees on Yelp. I've always heard of it but worried the space was too small based on reviews. Not the case at all! I'm so glad to have chosen this place. Exactly what we were looking for, it was perfect. Not only do they have beer and wine at 2-for-1, their entire cocktail list was 2-for-1 as well! This is very uncommon anywhere! Therefore, deserving of 5 stars! We were a group of 7 and arrived around 5pm on a Thursday. We were able to sit at the large table by the entrance/window. It was cozy. The place is fancier than what I expected, looks like a classy wine bar. Food was affordable. I highly recommend the Steak Sliders 5 for $20. My boyfriend and I loved them! Sooo delish! The cocktail list was extensive and versatile. Overall, great option for a group happy hour. Good times!

    Awesome HH spot. Yes the drinks are 2 for 1. ANY. DRINK. YOU. WANT. 1 kale and chickpea salad, 2 people, 3-selection cheese board big enough for 3 or more peeps, and 4 drinks, came to about $61 before tip. Pretty sweet deal in NYC. For cheeses, our 3 included the blue that was on the menu, a mild and soft sheep's milk, and a firm goat's milk. Sorry I don't have the exact names. I enjoyed pairing the milder cheeses with the mustard that accompanied the board. The blue cheese was amazing on its own, with tons of strains throughout. I checked their menu on their site and it's not updated, so might have to go back soon for another HH rendezvous to snag the names of these cheeses. They definitely don't skimp on the portions either. The salad was drowning in dressing and needed lots of fresh cracked black pepper. It was simple and fresh salad and the dressing was a lemon/citrus vinaigrette that was olive oil heavy. Next time we'll tell them to go light on the dressing or have it on the side. If you want to go somewhere with a date, and not too quiet where there will be awkward silences? Or maybe you've got a small group that wants to kick back some cocktails, wine, beer, etc. after a long day in the office. This is the spot. The lighting is dim, the bartenders are chill, the music is diverse enough where you'll find yourself singing or bopping your head to some indie rock, top hits, or old school hip-hop track.

    We decided to try Ten Degrees after seeing their great happy hour specials - 2 for 1 drinks! This place tends to get very crowded, but rightly so! Their drinks are well-made, strong, and reasonably priced for what you're receiving. Considering often limited selections of happy drinks at other places, Ten Degrees offers an entire page of specialty cocktails! Relaxed atmosphere, too. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Got there for happy hour on a weekday.., my friend got a table for our party of 3 in the back. Not bad seating for a very crowded evening. Very noisy. Service was slow (short staff?) but the waitress was nice and friendly. The worst part was the cocktails. (2 for one for special "crafted" cocktails). We had about 4-5 different kinds and they all tasted bad. One of my friend was a regular and he commented that it was very unusual and must have been an "off night" for the bartender. The wine he ordered was also bad and had to be returned. (it was left opened too long). So all in all, I don't think I will be coming back.

    Can't beat the Happy Hour here, which is BOGO daily !! Stopped by on a Sunday to kill some time before dinner and it was pretty crowded. I had to wait for a table, but there's also an extra room towards the back with some couches. I like how their happy hour applies to all drinks, so you can choose mixed drinks, beer and wine. My only complaint is the service. Our waitress took a long time to get our order or even come back to check up on us. She was also very unfriendly and borderline rude. I guess talking on her phone and hanging out with her friends at the bar was more important than doing her job. Other than the service, I had a fun time.

    Ten Degrees has a fantastic happy hour: 2-for-1 from 12PM-8PM, daily. This applies to everything on the menu including their wines, beers, food, bottles, everything! They have an extensive wine and beverage menu and really good food options. The only thing about this place, is that it gets super cramped and loud. Majority of the people are here to take advantage of the HH and get hammered. It was almost impossible to get my waiter's attention because it was so loud and it was so busy. I was here catching up with one of my girlfriends and we had asked for water. Only one cup of water was brought over so we had to flag down the server again to ask for another cup, which took another 15 minutes. Instead of 'Where's Waldo?', it was like Where's Waiter? We started off with wine, because that's what I was really there for. I ordered some type of Rose and my girlfriend has some Pinot Noir. Both wines tasted really stale and had remnants of boxed wine. When we brought this up to the waiter's attention, she claimed that the bottle was JUST opened, which was tough to believe. Instead of making a big deal, we ordered more wine lol. Feeling a little hungry after some chatter, we decided to order the Avocado Toast, Prosciutto, and Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. The food was amazingly delicious. The toast was slightly crunchy for texture and although I had wished for more avocado, I knew I was being a bit too greedy. We topped the avocado toast with some thinly sliced prosciutto and it was like heaven. Perfect combination all around, especially the saltiness from the prosciutto and the creaminess from the avocado. Really simple but delicious. The brussel sprouts was cooked down with the bacon fat so you know it had to be tasty. The brussel sprouts were cooked really well, not too smushy, not too hard and bits of bacon pieces were heavily present throughout the entire dish. I would definitely return but with no more than a party of 3 because there is really no space for it. I believe they take reservations so I would make one if you don't plan on getting squished.

    Come for the two for one drink happy hour. Stay for the two for one drink happy hour. It really is a pretty incredible deal. Note that you're not supposed to split the drinks with another person. Though it's a pretty silly (and unenforceable) rule, so don't sweat it.

  • Joyce H.

    Music was so loud, rando couples making out on the booths, drinks were expensive and tasted cheap and watered down. Sounds like the HH is an amazing deal but definitely not worth full priced. Won't be coming back.

    I like the space at this bar a lot. The drinks here are so strong that I don't come by here often. The waitstaff are alright. Not the best, but not the worst. Quite a collection of concoctions to try so you won't be disappointed. A good spot to go to with a good friend or two.

  • Hannah K.

    What can I say.. You can't really ever go wrong with a 2-for-1 deal for happy hour. Especially if it applies to everything and anything. (Including bottles of wine) like whaaa? The staff here are all attentive and friendly as well. It gets packed so either get there early or wait cause it's worth it.

  • Stephanie P.

    One of the best places in the East Village for happy hour since they have 2-for-1 drinks - including the pitchers of Sangria! Dark atmosphere with a wrap around bar in the front and small tables in the back. I wouldn't recommend it for large groups unless you get the back room. Get there early because it gets super crowded, so it is tough to find a spot to sit at the bar! They also play some great music. The grilled cheese here is very good, as well.

  • Holly C.

    You can't beat their happy hour! The only catch is, it pertains to one person. My sister and I each had 3 cocktails and were ready to head out for the night. The bartender then informed us we still had one drink each! Unfortunately, you can't split the deal between people. Other than that, the bartender was fast, always ready to offer to bring us another drink, and the food was good. We split the Ten Degrees panino & the pork sliders. The sliders were just okay (I honestly wouldn't order them again) but the ingredients on the panino worked well with each other & was overall a good sandwich!

    New York often sits high on the list for expensive eating, but if you know what you are doing, you can fuel up on adult beverages in a cheap fashion before heading out to dinner. Specifically, many a 2-for-1 discount make up this city's happy hour culture. Here, any and every liquor, drink, and beer applies. What does make it difficult in the Big Apple is making a decision on what bar to sit down at, as every Lower East Side and/or Greenwich tavern/gastropub/watering hole seems to provide the exact same atmosphere: people watching in tight quarters, with a rather warm temperature in the summer. Nonetheless, they have a decent selection at Ten Degrees, and the food holds its own in a city known for gluttony and drinking to excess. Nothing over the top, but good no-frills establishment at which to get prepped up and pre-gamed for dinner... or perhaps more bar-hopping.

  • Sri B.

    For a wine bar, I would have to say I found the wine list a little lacking. A lot of the seating doesn't have chair-backs, which is kind of annoying if you are there to chill out for a while. The ambiance is cozy/cool. The drinks are standard NYC prices/slightly higher than you'd expect for a joint like this. Otherwise, just a solid neighborhood, non-dive bar. Also, they have a decent back room for private events and parties.

    I really wanted to like this place. I really did. I came here with five of my other colleagues on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm for their happy hour specials. It seemed too good to be true. Upon entering the establishment, I was shocked to find the place without AC. It was probably 100 degrees sitting on that leather couch. After ten minutes of nice, light music in the background, they started to BLAST the living hell out of their speakers. SERVICE - 0. I walked in first, and since it's mostly a sit yourself down wherever you are kind of place, and I almost walked into one of the servers. She rudely rolled her eyes and sped walked around me. Then, our hostess/server/waiter looked at us with this blank look on her face as if we didn't know we were in a restaurant and RUDELY handed us our menus, took our orders, and "served" us our drinks. She seemed extremely busy (she wasn't and even sat down and ate her dinner next to us) and gave all of us the illest attitude for no reason (I promise we were all really happy, courteous, and excited to give this place a try that we even bypassed this unfolding). HAPPY HOUR DRINKS - 1. We ordered the BOGO sangria pitchers and were extremely disappointed in the quality. We weren't expecting amazing sangria during HH, but that sangria surpassed all of the bad HH specials I've had. It tasted so stale, sweet, and even rotten in a sense. We ordered bottled beers after that. On top of all of this, our server charged just ONE of our cards $80 when we requested a $35 charge on every card (we had 3 in total). Did she just try to tip herself another $25?

    This place was really nice! I really liked the decor and the atmosphere. It definitely looks like a date spot hah, but it's a nice, intimate, venue to spend with some friends. The drinks are also yummy--had the rye & ginger cocktail. Service was good and overall, one of the nicer, chill spots I saw in NYC. Apparently they have a happy hour as well from 12-8pm. Cute place! Fun music as well.

    BOGO before 8pm on Saturdays!! (I think most days, but we have been here a few times on Saturdays) BOGO includes cocktails, beer and even bottle wines. Love the deals, love the vibes, love that it wasn't too crowded and we always get a spot either the couch, high table or bar seat. One of our favorite new spot in the area.

    We randomly walked into Ten Degrees after finding out the Belgian bar down the street was closed that night. Boy, are we happy we did. They have a great happy hour from 12 to 8. It was packed on a Monday night. They have a good beer selection. The cheese and pate plate was excellent. They offer a variety of unique cheeses. Our waitress, who was very friendly and attentive, helped us make some excellent choices. I highly recommend Ten Degrees for an after-work beer and nice munchies.

    Being one of my favorite bar hopping parts of town, I thought I knew all the best happy hour spots in Alphabet City. When my friends told me to meet up at Ten Degrees Bar (not Ten Degrees bistro, their sister restaurant around the corner), I was shocked to find how close it was to places I've been going for a long time. I was even more surprised that this place was so well established/known; I had somehow missed the memo, and never heard of the place. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was the large u shaped bar and low profile lounge seating. This place has a seriously laid back feel that is great for a group of old friends, or a date. We took up residence in the couches / footstool seating in the front, adjacent to a large street facing window (great for watching the frenzied world that is Alphabet City on a drinking night go round). Our server quickly greeted us, and shared the amazing news that EVERYTHING in the bar was buy one get one until eight. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of buy one get one bars in the city (heck, Key Bar is right around the corner), but this place is different. It's hard to find a place that has a happy hour with such a well-rounded (I'm almost tempted to say "grown up") menu. I love a good dive bar, and getting a buy back on PBR is great, but it's awesome to find a spot that does the same thing with really good scotch (their scotch menu is extensive and comprehensive - you want a Macallan? Great, will that be a 10, 12, or 15), craft mix drinks, and more (beer, well drinks, wine/wine on tap, etc.). Being linked to Ten Degrees Bistro, the bar has access to their kitchen - they make fantastic use of it. The menu is full of perfect bar food; we had a cheese plate that was tasty (mixed cheeses, dried meats and bread), and steak sliders topped with spicy chipotle mayo that were phenomenal - again the theme here is upscale but not overly expensive (I think we got around 10 sliders for 20$). If I had any criticism at all, it's that when it got busy (this place gets packed), the service slowed down considerably; they should consider a second server (we had the same lady all night - she was super friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed). When you combine the great happy hour, awesome food, extensive drink menu, and intimate atmosphere you end up with one of the best happy hour spots in the city; you'll absolutely find me here with scotch in hand again soon.

    Excellent brunch pricing for the amount of food. Not good for large parties but great for a casual Sunday afternoon brunch date. Be sure to ask about the complimentary brunch drink of coffee or orange juice if you're getting the brunch special cause I forgot to.

    I came here at the end of a bar-hopping date, and after having well-crafted cocktails, the drinks here were unbearable. I switched to beer and that was just okay too. But three stars for the vibes and the music. I was dancing on my bar stool all night! It's a bit loud to talk, but this bar is a good look for meeting a friend and maybe doing some low-key dancing.

    I booked a large group for drinks at happy hour at ten degrees in late May. They were so accommodating for us and the drinks were amazing. Prices were great. Our server was Hannah and she was incredible--gave us all separate bills which we weren't expecting--remembered our drinks and our names to a fault, and was pleasant and upbeat the entire evening. Amazing experience at ten degrees for 20 people from Toronto. Will definitely return. Props to Hannah!!!

    I just had my bridal shower here this past weekend and I had an amazing time! Highly highly recommend if you're looking for a party space that is convenient, private and affordable. It may seem out of the ordinary to host such an event at a bar, but we were able to transform the private room and had an amazing time. There was a minimum attached to the room and we were able to pick the menu as well as drinks and were able to take advantage of the 2-4-1 deal. I did my research and there was no other place with such a great deal! The food was actually pretty good and the sangria was great. The hostesses were magnificent and got us everything we needed. So accommodating and even placed our cupcakes that we brought from outside onto silver trays. They passed the finger foods and served the drinks. I will note - the party platters serve more 2-3 people, so order extra food. We didn't have enough food, but we did have a great time. Highly recommend for any party you're looking to have - the space can hold about 40 standing, 20-25 comfortably sitting/standing. Service was phenomenal - from setting the menu to the actual event day, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Will definitely be coming back here to host more parties in the future.

    This place can get VERY crowded, especially during Happy Hour. Drinks are solid though and they make sure you drink your fill: during happy hour, they have 2-4-1 deals, which means you pay for your first two drinks of choice (note that the drinks are the same), but then get the next two (also the same drink) free. So choose wisely, drink up, and have a good time!

    I've been up and down St. Mark's street many times over the past three years, but I'd never stopped into this place. I should've. The staff is friendly and the food (small plates) are excellent. A friend of mine booked their private room for a surprise Going-Away party for my former roommate. Everything went off without a hitch. It should be noted that this was one of the few venues in the area that had a private room available. If you're wondering about the size, we had over 20 people in there comfortably (some standing some sitting). It's got a television, and dedicated restrooms. The wine options are extensive since that's their thing, but they have beers and make cocktails as well. You should definitely check them out (Especially during happy hour).

    Had a fantastic time yesterday. Great drinks and great service! Our waitress (Hannah) was able to explain the drink menu to us and we ended up drinking more than we initially wanted to ;) I can definitely recommend this bar.

    I have been to this East Village staple on two occasions and have had enormous fun both nights. There is generally no wait and seating is available for groups both large and small. They have wonderful mixed drinks, a great selection of wines, and an upbeat atmosphere with blasting music. The crowd was also very young and lively, and the place was packed even on a night when many nearby establishments were closed or empty. The only downside was the wait staff was lacking; they neglected to come by our table and mixed up numerous drinks which really didn't help us split the bill. My recommendation is keeping a separate tab open and generally getting drinks at the bar so there is no confusion.

    Oh Hannah, you did it again. Let me start by saying that 10 degrees is amazing in its own right, but as with any experience, it is heightened with excellent service. Our server, strike that, our partner in crime Hannah made our Wednesday night spectacular. Right on time service, and a pleasant demeanor ruled the night. I and my friends will be back real soon!! Thanks Hannah!

    Great "2-for-1 anything" special during their happy hour, which is offered daily. While a great deal and have been pleasantly pleased in the past, a word of caution is that it tends to get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. So good luck finding a spot unless you get there earlier than later. It also can be a bit difficult to try to find a spot if you're there with a group of people. Service is also pretty horrendous; but it comes with the territory (i.e., a slammed bar where they're trying to cycle people through as fast as possible).

    Good place, albeit extremely packed for some good happy hr specials. Went here with friends and I personally ordered the Old Fashioned, tasted good and bit strong. It was $12 each one and they had Buy 1, get 1 specials until 8pm. So practically $6 each one. I ended up getting a total of 4, and I couldn't finish the 4th one. Good spot to meet up with friends for some drinks before heading to dinner.

    Looks classy but it isn't. The staff were far from friendly. Hard to find a drink list or menu. Clientele was too fratty. Granted, I was here around 10:30 on a Friday night and the same could be said of many other places on St. Mark's. But this place isn't the upscale wine bar it sells itself as. You deserve better.

    My coworkers & I came here on a Friday for after-work drinks with my coworkers and was so pleasantly surprised. The 2x1 happy hour was a major draw in choosing this place - drinks were strong (best Moscow Mule in the city!) and the music took me back to college clubbing days! Ryan, the bartender was EXTREMELY attentive, considering we were a pretty big, rowdy group. Service was great. I work in midtown and it was worth the trek downtown! Will definitely make this a regular after-work spot

    Really cozy little spot in the East Village. The happy hour specials (two for one drinks) are what attracted us, but the candle-lit vibe kept us there while we waited for a table at PDT. And while we ultimately sat at a high-top, the bar area atmosphere looked vibrant and cool. Only a couple complaints: - We were initially seated at a little bar-looking area outside the kitchen, which turned out to be sort of a bussing station for the servers. The bartender and server in our area conceded that it was kind of a "no man's land", but agreed that the server would take care of us (which she did, albeit a little slowly). Ultimately, though, we ended up with dirty dishes all around us, and almost on top of us, until we moved to the aforementioned high-top after it opened up. Honestly, if you don't really want someone sitting somewhere, don't put seats and candles there. - The bartender kept imploring the back-of-house to turn the volume up higher on the music. He really looked into it. I wouldn't call this a complaint as much as a slight warning - if you don't feel like partying with your hair on fire at 6:45pm, think twice about coming here. - The drinks were "craft" style and price ($12 to $14), but without necessarily all of the execution. I wouldn't be willing to pay those prices outside of the 2-for-1 happy hour timezone. But I will concede that this place seems to be a wine bar, first and foremost. Overall, though, a cool little place to bring a few friends (NOT a group, FYI - it's not a spacious joint).

    I have stopped in here twice now, both times just for happy hour, so I have yet to have a full meal or night here. Awesome Happy Hour with two for one drink specials until 8pm daily. Our gang of three really enjoyed the Avocado Toast and Crostini Santorini off the app menu. Taking advantage of the happy hour deal I sucked down two delicious Gimlets before heading off into the night. If I lived anywhere near here I would for sure make this a constant haunt.

    Such a lovely place! Their 2 for 1 hh from noon to 8pm is amazing! This was initially what caught our attention and convinced us to try it out. However, once we were actually here we found the place itself to be quite appealing. Ten degrees creates a personable, pleasurable ambiance which allowed us to sit, enjoy our drinks and chat away. We got there around 5pm and the place was fairly empty however, as time went on it really started becoming busy. (Candles lights were placed as soon as it started getting dark outside, which created a classy feeling). By the time we left (7:30) it was extremely packed with people sitting and enjoying each others company. Very elegant indeed! Drinks range btwn $10-$13. I had the lemon drop martini (be careful all the alcohol sits and waits for you at the bottom of the glass). Then I tried the mojito, my goodness was it strong! I had to switch it with my friend who got the campari champagne (also mouthwatering) bc it was too strong for me to handle. These were all delicious and worth coming here for hh. Will definitely be returning to this place with friends who's company I want to enjoy while day drinking and exploring their food menu.

    a friend suggested this place for a group of us to get drinks before a show at eastville comedy and it will likely be my go-to happy hour spot for whenever i'm in the east village. 10 degrees has one of the best happy hours in manhattan; it lasts til 8 and everything is 2-for-1, not just shitty well drinks like all the other happy hours. to be honest, i didn't feel like any of the cocktails were extraordinary or anything but i really liked that they had so many options and you can mix and match your 2-for-1's. i had the rose sangria - a bit too juice-y, the caiprihania, the Moscow mule and some sort of Kentucky cocktail - bourbon and pineapple which was my favorite. we sat at the bar and also split an order of guac with chips that was also pretty average - the menu and some of the food ordered by other patrons looked delicious so i'll definitely be back to try some other items. it was impossibly crowded on a friday evening but the bartenders still did a really good job of being attentive.

    My favorite bar 10 Degrees ! I wish you every success in the new year, the wonderful and generous customer, positive . Keep a friendly and family atmosphere that always makes us happy. Thank you for all the wonderful moments of joy, fun, dance and sometimes small sadness that we share, we continue to share friends. Special thanks to the owner for giving us such a wonderful place, assembled a great team guys who have become our family! I wish you all a happy new year 2015.

    Strong drinks and terrible service. Came here for the strong drinks-- which was delivered in my whiskey-strong Manhattan, but the waiters need to pay a lot more attention to their tables -- especially when the places isn't packed enough to grant slow service.

  • Billy D.

    This is a great wine bar in the East Village. The atmosphere is jovial, but still has a relaxed, low key vibe. Ambient light provided by candles scattered throughout the bar set a wonderful and intoxicating mood; suddenly you've been there for hours without knowing where the time went. A rich mix of music plays, but you're still able to hold conversation successfully. The staff is also excellent. Ryan, the bartender is charming and handsome, and Abby is sweet and attentive (not to mention fierce). Add in a 2-for-1 happy that lasts from noon to 8pm (7 days a week!), and what you have is a gem of a bar. Definitely worth a visit.

  • Nick C.

    I came here on a date for the first time and not only was the ambiance and menu spectacular, but our server Hannah helped us navigate the delicious menu and the bar list. She made us feel very comfortable and was able to relate on a personal level! Truly a great experience!

  • Stephanie P.

    Came here on Halloween night, right before Happy Hour ended and my friends and I took over the front area by the entrance (as we've done many times before). Service was friendly and attentive, clientele was fun and jubilant and good times were had by all! The check situation here was much, MUCH smoother than the last time I was here when Sir Douche-a-lot was bartending (who according to my Yelp correspondence with the manager, no longer works here). We all had a great time and as a result, Ten Degrees is back on my "yay! I really like this place" list! Cheers all around! :D

    I had my engagement party here last week and everything went off without a hitch - from the initial email inquiry to the actual day - all thanks to Moti! We reserved the back room for a Thursday evening, on the Tuesday before! Luckily, the room was available and was ours for a small tab minimum. The minimum is based on the number of people you expect to host - we had a $500 minimum for ~20 people. Best of all, we were offered the happy hour menu of 2 for 1 drinks! And like everyone has noted, their happy hour menu is insaneeeee(ly amazing)! We had our own private waitress who was fast and efficient in getting us our drinks. The room itself was the perfect size, with just the right amount of seating and two bathrooms. All in all, a great night. Only critique I had was that there were various patrons wandering in and plopping down on the seats in the private room. I had to kindly let them know it was a private party, which should not fall under my realm of responsbiility between making sure I say hello to all my guests and that they were happily liquored up. Would be great if the waitress or another employee could handle those awkward situations for their patrons in the future! :) Thanks Moti, for a great night!

    I've only been here for Happy Hour (2-for-1 drinks, 12PM-8PM, 7 days a week), and people who love mixed drinks, this is your place for cheap drinks post-work. Compared to most bars in NYC with only well-drinks or a couple beers on tap, Ten Degrees Bar has an entire PAGE of mixed drinks including Moscow Mules, Mint Juleps, Mojitos, sangria, and Rye & Gingers, available during Happy Hour. Unreal! They also have a pretty sick guacamole (big portion, very fresh) and chips (deliciously salty). They turned up the music by around 6:30PM, so be ready to shout at your dining companions. Notes: - not a dive bar, just a casual laid-back one. - they have a private room in the back, perfect for large parties. - there are seats with pillows to cozy up to your honey or metal stool seating - service was disorganized and hurried but it is HH

    Horrible service. Came on a Wednesday around 1 pm with 2 friends. The waiter never smiled, or said a word to us besides 'what do you want to drink'. The drink specials is a great deal, 2 drinks for the price of one, only positive!

  • Anna R.

    I've been here a number of times with friends after work. I love their BOGO offer. We usually share a few appetizers and they're always delish! The staff has always been very friendly and I've never had a bad bottle of wine there. I always recommend this place to friends when they are visiting.

    I was here recently with friends for happy hour and I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical to be nearly 30 and on St. marks... But the staff was so lovely that my skepticism was washed away - Hannah was our server and she was such a fantastic addition to our evening. She has a lovely way of making people feel welcome! Will return and hopefully see her soon- I should have asked for her schedule :)

  • Jessie H.

    I really like this bar! This has become one of my go-to happy hour spots even though I don't live or work in the area because the 2:1 deal from 4-8 is too hard to pass up and the atmosphere is great. The bartenders here are awesome! I've been served by someone different each time I come in and they are all fast, friendly and super on top of their sh*t (remembering what you ordered, keeping track of your tab even without a card down, making sure you have water etc. etc.) There also all pretty cute with is always a plus :). I generally stick to wine and they have a GREAT selection by the glass and prices are reasonable, especially when you factor in the 2 for 1 deal. Last night I tried their Manhattan (or 4.) and they were excellent! I also tried some snacks for the first time last night and the guacamole and feta cheese toasts were both delicious and generous portions for the price, especially the guac! The reason I'm giving 10° 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the disparity in service level depending on whether you can snag a seat at the bar (where the bartenders are great, as mentioned) or not. The table service here is brutal, especially when you're sitting in the front. We once waited 20 minutes for someone to come by and wound up ordering from the bar. They definitely need more people working the floor during the packed happy hours!

  • Jessica L.

    Came in between 9-10pm and it wasn't crowded when we were seated, but then it got crowded and was really loud. Waitress took forever to give us a menu and after we placed our order for drinks that were priced at $8-12, she forgot to pick them up and bring them over. Additionally, she forgot which drink my friend and I ordered. The space is nice, but the service is a joke.

  • Di M.

    LOVE this place! Some friends and I came here for HH around 6ish yesterday and the place was already packed. They only had space available in the back room, so we just sat there. As always, we had tons of fun! Definitely one of my go-to HH places.

  • Pooja C.

    Pretty cool atmosphere. It can get a little loud but not so much that you can't hear the person you're talking to. Drinks are pretty strong and they have a large selection. Happy hour is 12-8pm and it's a 2-for-1 deal so you can't beat that! Bartenders are friendly and everything was clean despite it being crowded. There's a ton of seating, too. I'll be back for sure.

  • Carmen G.

    Can't think of anything bad to say about this place. You absolutely cannot beat the happy hour prices. 2 for 1 on ALL drinks per person. Including shots. Came here on a Saturday looking for a bar to go to during the day and Ten Degrees did not disappoint. Has a dim lit atmosphere with plenty of seating. Elizabeth was our server/host and she was so nice, attentive, and knowledgable about the menu. Great drinks, food, service, and music. It's the start of a great Saturday. Cheers!

  • Tommy K.

    10 Degrees has a great happy hour - 2 for 1 - until 8PM. I was here for a birthday party and it was great to have the back room reserved for our rather large party. Service was excellent. Our server was knowledgable of the cocktails and was very fast and considering that she was solo, she was great! Friendly too. The cocktails are excellent. I had two of the Kentucky cocktail with bourdon and pineapple, one dirty vodka martini and a ginger beer-like drink that was only OK because I don't like soda. Cocktails averaged $11. Remember, 2 for 1 HH. Long tables to share with other people and small bar upfront. Get there early for HH since it gets crowded. One critique: management should ask smokers to stand further away from the front since smoke easily comes back into the bar.

  • Miss C.

    Best happy hour deal, on anything! My friend and I got two bottles of wine once since it's buy one get one :) I also had my 21st birthday here and everyone had a great time. I honestly did not expect much because I booked the front couch area since I did not know if enough people would show up for the back room, but service was great and they let me know every time I was about to approach a limit for my tab that I set. My boyfriend said he had the best mojito he ever tasted (I've had it too since then, the mint is so fresh) and the amaretto sours and tom collins are amazing as well. Although the drinks are on the pricier side in the area, there's bang for your buck because they are strong and none of that excessive ice business. Plus the bartenders are pretty cute ;) P.S. Also no cheesy interior if that bothers you and the wine selection is great.

  • Erik D.

    I've been to Ten Degrees only once, but I left impressed and spent two happy hours there during their Happy Hour. Although a wine bar, they do serve a couple of delicious cocktails, too. Apart from the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, this place stood out in terms of its upbeat atmosphere, very infectious. The panino di Parma, a sandwich with prosciutto, goat cheese, and apple, was a great choice as a snack and priced appropriately. It's a bit heavy on estrogen, but I did not mind at all... I will definitely return.

    Came here for happy hour on Saturday and it was packed. As soon as happy hour ended, the place seemed to die out a bit. This place has a fun atmosphere - only downside is that it's a very tight squeeze in he bar area. Looking forward to coming abck and trying the food!

  • Melody H.

    Ten Degrees is a dependable go-to for happy hour in the East Village. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon post-9th St. shopping spree, pre-dinner. The guacamole is gigantic for $9, and the 2 for 1 drinks till 8 make it easy on the wallet. I recommend the Dougie. No, not that Dougie.

  • Abby W.

    I was happy to stumble upon this place as it looked cute and had a nice cocktail menu. Alas..I've never had such a rude barman/manager experience. My friend left a dollar tip on his drink and was then confronted both brashly and unprofessionally about his tip. He was quite unrelenting. In a part of town that is overrun with bars and watering holes to me it would make good sense to be kind to the patrons that fill your seats on Sunday nights. Much like the other reviewers, I found sadly the service the ultimate dealbreaker for this otherwise standard place.

  • Amy Z.

    Great drinks... Especially the jalapeño marg! A little spicy but not too much. This is my 2nd time at the bar... Best time to go between 6-8 I believe two for one...great deal!! We sat at the bar which is nice...there is a back room and for those of you who would rather not wait in a bathroom line there is a hidden one in the back room! Def worth checking this place out...nice decor and great drink special!!

  • Isabelle M.

    Out of sheer curiosity I had to see if this place was as bad as some of the reviews said-- it was. It is nothing special. A regular ol' bar with a million others in NYC just like it or better. The service was inattentive, and when I tipped a dollar on a beer I was given a dirty look. For what? It's not like the beer was $30 or something. A dollar per drink is a very acceptable tipping policy , and I'm not exactly sure why I need to give someone more than that for popping the cap off a bottle. Further, the comments made in response to yelpers by the owner, Moti, are abhorrent. I don't care if you are pissed off by the comments-- you are a business owner, and you should act like a professional rather than being crude (see comment below in which he tells the yelper that he was 'masturbating' while making a reservation....nice. very professional.) Insulting customers not only makes THAT customer not ever come back, it makes people like ME also never want to come back to an establishment in which the owner is obviously such a hot-head that he can't just find a polite way of asking customers to please be mindful of tipping nicely. I'm sorry, but in situations like this, the customer is always right and your job is to find a way to nicely handle situations, not insult everyone that has a bad experience at your bar, in essence just furthering the bad experience. There is nothing special enough about this place to make me want to come back, and the disgusting way in which Moti handles customer complaints below just seal the deal. I have bartended before in my life, and I'm very familiar with the business. I know customers can be irritating and annoying and under-tip. But I never in my wildest dreams would go on a public message board to insult and humiliate those customers. Completely unprofessional. Should be ashamed of yourself. Go ahead-- going to give me a rude response too, Moti? You're just digging yourself a deeper business grave, have fun. To everyone else, if you're on this street, go to some other place. Bua , which I think is nearby or across the street, is another place I had a party and the staff was attentive, polite, and the drinks are yummy. Don't bother with ten degrees.

    This place rocks! Between the awesome music in the background (not too loud so you can hear the person you're with but still rock out to songs you know - think MGMT and Coldplay) and the 2-for-1 happy hour on everything (cocktails and beer!) until 8 p.m. in a dimly lit, romantically cool atmosphere, this is a win-win, whether it's to catch up with friends or be on a date.

    Came here on a Friday night. Place is pretty packed so prepare to be shoulder to shoulder, back to back. That said, it looks like if it was empty it'd be a pretty amazing intimate space good for a date. Don't know much about the happy hour specials, but I was able to snag two beers for the price of one--each one coming out to about $3 dollars. I probably would drop in again if I was in the neighborhood.

  • Alaina W.

    If I arrive at a bar already drunk, and the bartender tells me that I owe $20 for two (not enormous) glasses of pinot grigio, I will pay him, but I will not be happy about it. And then I will go home and complain about said bar on Yelp. I liked the bar's ambiance: dark and sort of noisy, but not so overwhelming that I couldn't converse with the person sitting next to me. It was totally packed around midnight on a Friday, but it started to clear out and calm down around 1:30. The main mitigating factor was that I was there for a friend's birthday, and had seating reserved. I'm not sure I would trek back out to the East Village for this bar without that guarantee.

  • Lesley T.

    Best happy hour in East Village! IMHO that is. Buy-one-get-one-free handcrafted cocktails = unbeatable. I'm talking QUALITY cocktails. This is pretty unusual for a bogo-free deal. The food rocks (get the guac), and staff rocks - I wish I knew the name of our lady - she's so cheerful & nice. I've been maybe 3 times and she recognizes me by knowing my drink order ahead of time, every time. So charming, unpretentious, low-key... and expect very high quality of product. They also have good tunes playing - love this place.

  • Stacy T.

    When you think about it, drinks in general are pretty expensive. Come on, $14 for a drink? I think you can get like 80 chicken McNuggets for that much money. 14 slices of pizza at 2 Bros or 14 pieces of sushi at Nori. In any case, I got suckered into their 2 for 1 deal for a happy hour that lasts till 8 pm. WARNING: The 2 for 1 deal is per person, so no sharing. Godiva Chocolate and Raspberry Vodka Martini - The Stoli vodka they used reminded me of my college days. The chocolate seems like a good idea at first, but towards the end I got sick of the sweetness. The oreo crumbles that float on top give it an interesting crunch and flavor. Overall, I would probably not get this again. Priced at $14 for one. Mojito - You can add a selection of fruits like strawberry for an extra buck. This was a solid drink. The mixologist created the perfect balance of mint, bacardi rum, sugar, and lime. The mint was extra strong to give it that refreshing taste. The downside is that the mint takes up a lot of room, so you end up with a drink that is rather low on the liquid side. Other than that, this is a pretty excellent choice. Priced at $11 for one.

    Quite honestly, there isn't anything that I don't like along St. Marks Place and Ten Degrees Bar is an example. Awesome spot for happy hour! Even better, this place is so intimate and cozy which I absolutely love and I can actually make convo and hear the other person. Great vibe from the diverse crowd and the drinks are yummy! 2-for-1 drinks until 8pm and this includes all the delicious cocktails and wines. Dude, this is totally a great deal. I came here for hh with a party of 6 on a Tuesday and we each had at least 4 rounds of drinks and yes, only paid for 2 rounds worth. This makes me happy!

  • Anna T.

    A great place to hit around early evening for a drink or two, or to grab a seat before it gets too crazy -- on weekends, it gets a little crowded after 8 (aka, spills over into the street). I went at 5p on a Saturday and it was relatively empty, with a table near the open windows. Delicious Sauvignon Blanc and friendly service. They play great music, too, which is a plus. Highly recommended!

    One of the better wine bars in the city, probably because they manage to serve some good food and drinks while not being nearly as pretentious. Very accommodating when I have had small events there in the past.

  • Megan Y.

    I went to Ten Degrees a couple weeks ago to grab a glass of wine. It's a very hip, yet cozy setting, but it can get very crowded. Especially for their happy hour. Extra especially for their happy hour on a Friday night. They have a decent selection of wine as well as some very tasty cheeses, but the place is very noisy. The crowd gets loud, so the music gets louder, so you talk even louder and the music gets louder still. A vicious cycle. It doesn't quite provide the soothing experience of a traditional wine bar. I did notice that it started to clear up a little once the happy hour ended at 8, however. If you and your friend/date don't mind shouting across a small table to hear one another, come here on a Friday. Otherwise, stop in earlier in the week or after happy hour.

    We came here with a group of friends and had really great service. I ordered the crostinis even though the server recommended a different pairing for the bottle of wine I ordered and she was absolutely right. I didn't care for them that much. We also had the pasta which was delicious!! I have been craving it ever since. I wish they had online ordering and delivery. With the happy hour till 8pm I will def be back soon. The prices were reasonable as well.

    I've only been to Ten Degrees for their Monday night half-priced bottles of wine deal. It's an awesome deal. On a Monday night, I don't think any bar is going to be very crowded, but I really liked the mellow vibe here. It's great for catching up with friends. I particularly liked the seating area at the front of the bar, to the right side, consisting of 2 couches in an L-shape. It's really comfortable, right next to a floor-to-ceiling window, and is perfect for people watching.

    Ten Degrees is the bar I like to go to either before or after a trip to my favorite Cafe Mogador. It's on the same street only a few doors down. It's got a bit of a nicer feel to it, with good wine, cocktails, charcuterie and olives. I wouldn't eat here, despite their offering a full menu, nor would I spend a whole evening here because it is a bit pricier. Ten Degrees has it's place in my repertoire as a one-drink stop, especially if I'm dressed up for some reason. It's very "New York City," a little nicer, a little dark, a little swanky... I like it. Wine and olives? Yes please.

    Remember when we were 16 and used to take those silly tests in Cosmo to figure out whether that cute guy from biology had the hots for us like we did for him? Don't you miss those tests? I thought so. So I've taken the liberty of recreating one below. Are you and Ten Degrees a match made in heaven? Question 1: Do you enjoy good looking bartenders? Yes No Question 2: On a typical night out, you drink: a) Beer b) Wine c) Delicious cocktails d) all of the above Question 3: When choosing a bar to patronize, you look for: a) underage NYU girls b) die-hard hipsters c) an interesting mix of laid back people d) call girls Question 4: You enjoy being hassled at the door by bouncers and/or waiting in line in sub-freezing weather: True False Question 5: You feel at home in a bar when: a) there's gallons of beer spilled on the floor and, hopefully, peanut shells too b) the lighting's dim and the atmosphere's cozy c) there's a place to sit d) people are pushing and shoving and you can't move Point distribution: Question 1 - True: 5 points. False: 0 points. Question 2 - a, b or c: 3 points. d: 5 points. Question 3 - a or b: 0 points. c: 5 points. d: 1 point (we reward honesty around here) Question 4 - True: 0 points. False: 5 points. Question 5 - a: 0 points. b: 5 points. c: 2 points. d: 0 points. Add 'em up! If you scored 20 - 25 points: ding ding ding!! We have a winner. Proceed immediately to Ten Degrees. Love will ensue. If you scored 10 - 19 points: does. not. compute. If you scored 0 - 9 points: I don't want to know you. Thanks for playing!

    My friend and I came here for happy hour immediately after work on a Thursday at 6, got a seat right at the bar, and enjoyed some fabulous mojitos made by the attractive bartender(s). The music was great (some DJ shadow and RJD2, as I recall - among other good electrofunk) and kept it lively, while still being in a conversational setting. With the buy 1/get 1 happy hour special, our 6 total (and 1 free! thanks, bartender!) drinks came to only like... 25 bucks or so. They didn't skimp us on the booze or quality for happy hour, either. We tipped generously and left far too drunk for a work night, but incredibly incredibly happy. This is our new go-to happy hour spot!

    Came for happy hour, 2 for one everything after work on a weekday. Came right before the crowd and got a good seat - couches around a table near the winder. It's a tiny place, but the selection of wine is fantastic, and the service is great. It was a perfect place to catch up with old friends and chat - not too loud (yet) and beautiful, cozy space. The price is right if you go early - and always worth it.

    Writing this during class. I'm a badass. This is a new favorite. I can't think of anywhere else in the world besides my own house where I can get two glasses of a phenomenal Pinot and a delicious pasta dish for 20 freakin bucks. They have an exciting 2-for-1 deal by the glass till 8pm that would have made the trip worth it on its own, but then we ordered a few pasta dishes and were blown away. I had the Pasta della Nonna (which I can't find on their online menus for some reason) which was one of the most scrumptious pasta dishes I've ever had - an impressive amount of penne tossed in a spicy meat sauce with unbelievably tasty bits of sausage mixed throughout. Best part? It was 9.95. 9.95!!!!! I would have gladly paid $20 for that dish alone. Service was fast and friendly, decor was dim and cozy, and there's a few couches by the front that would be perfect for a larger group. My only knock on the place is that it can get a little cramped - I was rubbing backs with a guy sitting behind me the entire night which was extremely awkward. But by the 3rd glass of wine, I pretty much stopped feeling anything anyway. I'm gonna be back, and if I can replicate this experience, this bad boy's gonna get a 5'er.

    Ten Degrees is easily one of the best happy hour deals in the city, 2 for 1 until 8 p.m. on cocktails ($12), beer ($7-8), and wine ($8-15). It's straight forward and they don't mess around with the drinks, or treat you like a second class citizen because you want to save a few bucks. They use good ingredients (no wells here!), the drinks are interesting, and you don't have to get the same one twice. I've mainly been on weekends around 5-6 and it seems like a good time to go, not too crowded so you can grab that bartender to make that second Manhattan (they use Maker's for happy hour - unheard of!), Gimlet, Moscow Mule, or what have you. They also have a pretty good beer list, ranging from the mundane (Presidente) to the mun-sane! (Riverhorse Triple!), and about 40 glasses of wine. Not bad at all. If you are partaking in the 2for1, you'll need to eat. The paninis ($9.75) are a good bet, as well as the olives and cheese selection (Humboldt fog! cashel blue!), though a little steep ($21 for 3). Also, Anthony Mackie was here last time I was. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

    I come here for the 2 for 1 happy hour til 8. Can get a bit cramped and the beer selection is only decent, but its still a good spot. There are better bars in the area, but still, I would recommend this place to others.

  • Jeff C.

    My friends and I love this place for happy hour-- buy one get one anything on the menu! The cocktail menu has plenty of interesting drinks and they make them pretty strong. The deal even extends into their wine list, so we got two good bottles of wine for just 30 dollars. Cool atmosphere.

    Loved this bar. It has a laid back feel to it and our group appreciated the fact that it wasn't too crowded and we were able to all sitdown at a table together (and no wait for it either!). It wasn't too loud either so we could all hear each other talking which was a definite plus. I liked the vibe of this bar.. it's rustic, home-y, and just a very relaxed bar with good service. Our only complaint was that the mixed drinks weren't very good (aside from the mojitos which were pretty good). Will we come back? Definitely.

    Ten degrees is definitely one of my favorite hang out spots in NYC. It is clean, laid back, and they serve strong, well-made drinks. Their packages to rent one of their private rooms is pretty reasonable (the owner Moti is very prompt with his response to any queries about parties). I always go back to Ten degrees for their chocolate martinis (stoli raspberry vodka, godiva liquor and OREOS COOKIES GARNISH!!!!). Three of these make my night.

  • Kelleigh W.

    I still dream about the cheese platters at this place! The food is wonderful, maybe not a great spot for dinner since it can get expensive, but for drinks/appetizers I highly recommend Ten Degrees. The bar also has a great wine selection and the staff is very knowledgeable about the wine list, making my decisions that much easier. Can't wait to go back!

    After much deliberate yelping, I chose this bar out of all others in New York based on a few criteria. One that was convenient to get to from Brooklyn, one that was classy yet not too steep in price, and one that would be conducive to a good-sized group to get together. Unfortunately, Ten Degrees didn't meet my expectations... Tiny, tiny place. And very crowded. Thus, really not appropriate for a group of... really any size. I initially came with only one other person and we were standing awkwardly here and there for a good time while we sipped wine that was just okay for the price. Perhaps this is a better place to come when the weather is better, but there was no place to put our coats and given the crowdedness we ended up standing with said coats on for way too long. Ultimately the drinks ended up not being anything special and thus for that I felt we may as well be drinking at a cheaper dive bar. Not enough space and a very stuffy vibe that I think left us feeling unwelcomed and unwanted. We ended up leaving and moving our group to the lower east side after we had finished our initial drinks. Again, it was nice inside and the drinks are okay... I don't know. I guess it just didn't live up to my expectations and I felt that the accommodations weren't up to snuff. However, it's packed and yelp loves it so maybe I'm missing something. Who knows.

    I've already been several times here since my first time, and this place never disappoints. Great service, excellent wine collection, and pretty good snack food. So last night I got some of their Old Vine Zinfandel and we ordered a plate of their Basque sheep cheese with the San Daniel Prosciutto, one order of the Duck Tartines served with a side of Cognac Coconut Sause, and two orders of the Skirt Steak Sliders. Everything tasted great, especially with the Zin that I am a fan of. This is a great place to chill after work.

  • Nerissa I.

    Let me just preface this write-up by saying that I only spent $15 there, and that was for 2 drinks and a cheese plate. Yup! I'm definitely a fan!! So I went here last Friday on the most beautiful of Fridays thus far in 2011. I needed a spot that would let me cool off... literally. It was so unexpectedly hot that I needed somewhere that had open windows/doors to let out some of the heat that my semi-winter outfit was keeping in. That said, I also needed a place that would give me as much alcohol as I could get at a low budget, while still remaining classy and coolly collected. 10 degrees definitely made the cut. Biggest selling point was there 2-for-1 specials til 8 p.m. You could get any 2 drinks on the menu for the price of 1. Hooray!! Not to mention, they also had a really nice selection of wines, drinks AND beers. For a wine bar, the latter is usually not expected. Only downside of the place was that i had to yell... and i mean YELL! The last time I think I yelled that loud was in my younger days when the music was so loud you could barely get a word in. I wouldn't call that entirely bad though, right? It's always a nice sign when there's life in an area.

    If Back Forty is my favorite restaurant in NYC, then Ten Degrees is my favorite bar. I don't know what it is that keeps me coming back here, but I suppose it's the little things. The lighting is just right, the wine selection is varied and relatively affordable for NYC, the draught beer is always a staple, and the bouncer just sort of gives me a head nod when I walk in. Wait...all those things *are* awesome, but that's not the reason I keep coming back. It's the owner, Moti. Whenever I bring friends here, he always ensures that their drinks are made well and they have everything they need. I put a premium on service because you're paying for that premium when going out. And In a neighborhood of bars with some of the most acclaimed client service in NYC, Moti is king. I hesitate to bring dates here because I'm keeping this place as my own, but I'd call it the ideal date spot in NYC. Great music, warm & welcoming ambiance, you can hear each other talk...and, well, Moti. Protip: Head to the back room on a Friday or Saturday night for more leg room. Also...try the mojito in the summer. Unbelievable. Service: 10 stars (out of 5) Overall: 5+ stars

    I love this bar, I have been many time with my husband and we have always had a wonderful experience. However when I worked with the owner to try and plan a party I found that they were extremely disorganized. In fact after sending in the final payment form including my credit card authorization I was told 2 weeks later that the reservation was lost and that my party was no longer confirmed. I recommend proceeding with caution when planning a party here.

  • Lauren H.

    Love this place. Not only do they have 2-4-1 happy hour on all drinks from like 12 or 1 till 8... (awesome)! They also have great food. The drinks are delicious especially the mojitos and my personal fave a moscow mule ( ginger beer & Ketel). Frank was my bartender on multiple occasions and he is attentive, nice and efficient. The place fills up early because the happy hour is so great... so get there earlier. The back is a little more romantic and it def is a date spot, but it is also fun with your girls or some friends. They have one lounge spot, which fills up fast, you get the picture. Will def return whenever I get the chance.

    I came here on a Friday night based on a friend of a friend's suggestion. We entered the space and found a nice table to the right of the entrance. We were a party of four and could have easily seated three to four more people in this table area. The table was reserved for 10:30pm so we needed to make sure to keep our eye on the time. I ordered the Panino alla Caprese, which is a panini with mozzarella, tomato and pesto. To my horror, one of the staff members messed up the orders and I ended up with Panino di Parma. This is a panini with prosciutto. Due to the panini switchup, I had to wait an additional amount of time to get my sandwich because the person who ordered the meat sandwich had already bitten into the non meat sandwich. The server apologized and comped the panini order but I still had the awful thought of mistakenly biting into a meat sandwich. The panini itself was ok. A bit too crispy. The music at the beginning of the night was okay but it grew obnoxious with the volume and the music selection. It appears that this wine bar attracts a certain crowd, if you get the picture. Because of this, it was very hard to carry a conversation...as the music was too loud and distracting. The one positive bit to this wine bar is the wine-by-the-glass list. I think it's a decent variety and the red wine glass list ranges from $9 to $15.

    I really enjoy this place. I have been for birthday gatherings, happy hour and for a quick drink while waiting for a show to start. The drink selection is extensive, the cocktails are well thought out and executed and everything I have tried on the menu has been excellent. I have also seen the chocolate and cheese plates come out and they look fabulous. I think I would return here on a date to try some chocolates and wine.

  • Debra E.

    $11 for a small drink doesn't make me happy. $11 for a small drink with more liquor in it than ice and club does. The company there really makes it too. There is a trendy, artsy crowd present. I actually liked the music I did hear. It was jam packed but I pounced on some stools. It took a bit of time to get a drink and I was seated AT THE BAR. Oh yeah they charged my phone for me too.

    When I think happy hour, I think dive bar. Ten Degrees Bar is an anomaly among happy hour spots. While they offer a killer two for one deal till 8pm on any drink on their menu - it's also a very pleasant and, dare I say, pretty place to sit. And if you roll in on a Monday, bottles of wine are half price all night. As a wine bar it functions nicely with a wide selection of vino by the glass or bottle along with a full bar to satisfy your more poisonous needs. The food menu looked scrumptious, though with Crif Dogs down the street I didn't order anything here. The counter area is pleasant, though I thought the high stools were a bit uncomfortable, and there's plenty of seating throughout. If you have a larger party, the back room is the perfect place to hang for some privacy and since all the staff is attentive you'll surely not have to wait long to have your libation needs met, even if you are hidden away in the back cave.

  • Sabrina B.

    2 for 1 happy hour + big drink selection (great beers, wines, cocktails) + cool, laid-back atmosphere = Good Stuff. Like most NYC bars it was packed shoulder to shoulder but we still managed to squeeze ourselves in for a few hours o' fun. One thing to note - 2 for 1 is per person - so you buy one drink, YOUR 2nd drink is free (of equal or lesser value). If you go with someone else it doesn't mean you buy one drink, and THEIRS is free...

    Some people reserve the phrase "loyal devotee" for things like yoga, or juice cleanses, or religions. But no, not me. I reserve the use of this phrase for my local watering holes. And why should they not deserve this type of praise? Ten Degrees has been my "go-to" bar for years now, and through this have convinced other people of its utter awesomeness and have surely made them a lot of money over the years! Case in point: two of my good friends recently threw their birthday parties here. The food is also yum yums. They have INCREDIBLE guacamole. No lie. Try it. Strangely enough, they also have pretty good hot dogs. Hey, whatever. I'm just saying, Ten Degrees has remained a steadfast place of drinking for me and a bunch of my friends, and I feel that it probably deserves another star for time-consistency alone. Cheers!

    Very impressive. I went around noon on a weekday. Just randomly chose this spot. We were the only customers. The chef had cooked some delicious looking steak for the employees, but it wasn't on the menu and we couldn't order it :( Ended up getting the pork belly sliders. Small portions, but possibly the most delicious slider of any type and most delicious pork belly sandwich I have ever had. I was still hungry so I got a cheese plate. They brought out a huge chunk of cheese along with the trimmings e.g. some type of jam, crackers, bread. The cheese plate definitely had to have cost more than they charged me. I'd definitely go again. This is my first 5 star review of a place in NYC.

  • Briana M.

    Please, please eat dinner before going to Ten Degrees for their Happy Hour. If you don't, please, please PLEASE heed my warnings. The drinks are strong. Especially the French 75. After your first 2 for 1 special, take a little while to see how you feel before getting a second. Don't even bother drunk texting Geezy because he will definitely not bring you Korean food and he will definitely make fun of the fact that you are drunk and it's still light out. DO enjoy the company of your beautiful, hilarious, and sweet lady friends. DON'T take the shot that the one man who showed up bought you. PLEASE. Don't. Order the regular olives. Pitted olive are for lames. Seriously, it shouldn't even be an option. DO leave Ten Degrees Bar way too late and way too drunk and end your evening getting a lap dance from your lady friend at a metal bar.

    Unpretentious, fun, with strong yummy mojitos. This was one of the spots I used to hit up constantly when I lived in the East Village. Sometimes I feel like bars in Manhattan can be stuffy and people generally...can suck there. But not Ten Degrees! My friend had a birthday gathering there and it was very easy to coordinate. I come here for the happy hour and late at night, for a post-dinner drink. Also very attractive bartenders. So plus for the ladies and the LGBT community.

  • Eve P.

    So cute and lively - a great place to take visitors from out of town if you want to show them a neighborhood-y but exciting place. Ten Degrees pulls off feeling casual, comfortable, and classy all at the same time. I went for happy hour and had 2 glasses of wine (you have to have 2 drinks, just to be clear...it's 2-4-1 PER PERSON). The wine list is huge and their descriptions make them sound so exciting. It was fun to choose. I think this would be 5 stars if they also offered food specials or more reasonably priced appetizer options.

  • Liz K.

    This is a place that I can walk into any day of the week, any time of year. That makes me VERY happy. I also know the owner as I have hosted a few events in their back room (awesome back room! fits like 60 ppl standing if you move out some of the seating. and they are SO accommodating!). I like wine/beer with small plates, and good conversation. Throw in a long comfy couch and a glass garage door that slides up in the warmer months and I'm all set! Get there early to snag those front seats though. It's also nice to sit in the back when it's cold outside and toast up with your honey. I never get rushed out. Great service. Doesn't break the bank, yet you feel like you had a luxurious night out. Stop by. Like yesterday.

  • Stella A.

    This is my consistent favorite happy hour bar by far. 2 for 1 GOOD cocktails? Never disappoints. I always get Paul's bambino and French75. They're both gin and I was never fond of gin fizz but that just speaks for how good this place is! The other cocktail and wine selection is also great. The ambience is trendy, cozy, dim and clean (yesss). It gets super busy towards the end of happy hour but still worth going. The bartender is super nice **and attractive**. The closest thing I tried to food was chips and guacamole so I can't really attest to the quality of food but even that was good!! Will absolutely be back soon... like tonight for the next ten years :)

    I hosted a birthday party with about 35 guests in the private room last weekend and we had an excellent night. The room is spacious with couches along the walls, two private restrooms, and a dedicated server. The owner was very responsive and helpful by email as I was arranging the evening. The bar has a broad selection of house cocktails, and the food menu is both diverse and well-priced. A great place for a casual meal, drinks, or hosting a small party. I hear they have an awesome 2-for-1 happy hour deal 'til 8PM as well. Definitely a fun place.

    Ten Degrees wasn't part of our Saturday evening going out plans but because we walked way quicker than we thought we would, by the time we got to our target location we were forty five minutes ahead of our dinner reservations. We walked around St. Marks Place to find a good spot for a glass of wine or a pre-dinner cocktail. Ten Degrees seemed to be the right place we were looking for. When we walked in the front seating area of few chairs and a couch was already occupied and the bar stools were all takes so we decided to sit at the side bar with mini chairs. They kind of reminded me of my pre-school coloring days...But still comfortable enough to have a drink or two and close enough to the bartender to take our orders. First round we ordered ourselves a Vodka Gimlet and a La Habana Martini ( martini with apricot brandy) from the cocktail menu. They were both well made with fresh lime juice and top-shelf liquor without having to ask for an upgrade ( I am simply against any house or other bottom shelf alcohol. If I am going to kill few million brain cells they are going to die in luxury.) After our cocktails we ordered two glasses of wine with a selection of two cheeses and Jamon Serrano. The cost of combination of three is $21 but there is an additional cost for Beeler Gruyer and Monte Nebro cheeses which we ordered the second. We enjoyed our wine with the cheese and meat selection. Monte Nebro goes very well with a piece of fig bread and touch of mustard. There is a private room in the back which seemed like it becomes a bottle service VIP area once the whole place transforms itself from a quiet wine bar to a full speed night club. Overall we would visit the Ten Degrees again possibly on a lazy Sunday afternoon to have few glasses of wine and nibble on some artisanal cheese. Pros: Good selection of wines by the glass. Impressive selection of cheese and charcuterie. Cons: Gets pretty wild at night with a loud DJ soundtrack.

    It is a wine bar, yet I did not have wine. So, if you are looking for a review on this wine bar's wine selection, then you should probably look elsewhere. If you are looking for a review on why this place is pretty awesome then keep reading. I went here for a birthday get together. Someone had called ahead a few weeks before and Ten Degrees had reserved a table and lounge area right in the front of the bar us. We didn't order food besides for a platter of cheese, meats and bread. Everyone got speciality drinks to start because it was a birthday celebration. The Lemon Drop Martini was delicious, not too sweet either. Would also recommend Dougie's Juice and their mojitos. They serve an interesting mix of craft beers including Ithaca Apricot (yay! Ithaca represent!). Service is awesome! Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate you. Good place for a chill get together.

    I'm not much of a wine drinker, but when I'm feeling a glass Ten Degrees is where I go. It's a few blocks from where I live and it's always a good time. It's pretty low key and unassuming and the staff is extremely helpful when asked about wines. MUST check out their happy hour specials. Great time =]

    God I remember when this place was a cool d-n-b lounge throwing crazy parties... and even before that it was something else when the wacky drag bar was next door. I guess that was late 90's... Well they completely redid the place so you will get the full wine-bar experience here. Very cozy bar seating, and not a bad date spot I'd say. They also serve mixed drinks...

  • Dareen S.

    It's everything for everyone bar. Excellent wine selection, mixed drinks, beer. Awesome music. You could seat at the bar, at the table or couches. Great for a date and for meeting a group of friends. Dress up, dress down, you would feel good and comfy.

  • Lara R.

    Thinking about this place makes me smile. I went here on a first date and couldn't have picked a better spot. It was a bit crowded, but we managed to eventually score seats on one of the couches in front of the bar area. The set up is nice - stools up along the traditional bar area and then more comfy seating on several couches. There are tables in front of the couches so you can still eat even if you want to sit over there. They have all sorts of great specials. Mondays they have 1/2 price bottles of wine all night. Their daily happy hour is 2 for 1 from 12-8pm, and it includes their list of upper end cocktails. So while it shows as $10-$12 on the menu, in the end it's not a bad deal. I tried their Old Fashioned as well as their Manhattan. Both were quite good, but the Manhattan packed a lot of punch. Wowzahs. We also split their guacamole after watching another table eat theirs. The chips were fluffy and crispy. It did not disappoint. I'll definitely be back.

    In the East Village, 10 Degrees is a staple in the scene of drinking establishments that keeps the heart of the neighborhood beating. Breathing life into St. Marks with it's edible ephemera and audible atmosphere, it's easy to spend a few hours dawdling at the bar, sipping, whispering or snacking. Nestled in the back on an intimate date or knit closely together with a group of friends around the bar at the front, the layout and service are fit for any type of time you're looking to have on any given night. Admire: their wine list. Tolerate: the very narrow, crowded walkways around the bar Crave: the French 75 Drool: the bartender with the Irish accent.

    Men, are you looking for a lady? A special lady? Well, look no further. All the ladies are here. Yes, that's right. Every lady that you could possibly be looking for is at 10 Degrees. Okay, that may not be entirely true. What is true is that this place was packed on a Saturday night and the crowd was primarily women. (It is not, however, a lesbian bar.) What else is true? Tasty sangria and nice bartenders.

  • Yvonne W.

    This is a great place for drinks with friends on a weeknight, but on the weekends it is PACKED. If you want to come here on the weekends, definitely get there before 10pm if you can. There is limited seating, so it's probably a better place to come with a friend or two than a huge party. The drinks here are good - definitely not weak. They have a good selection of mixed drinks and wine by the glass, and if you come here before 8pm on weeknights, they have a 2-for-1 happy hour, which is a really good deal. The ambiance is pretty good - there's dim lighting, and I love the fact that it opens out onto the sidewalk. The open space definitely helps with the feel of the whole place. Service is a little on the pushy side (they hovered over us as we were deciding what drinks to get), so be wary of that.

  • Meg N.

    I don't have anything new to add- I can only reiterate how great their happy hour special is- 2 for 1, noon-8, 7 days a week, any drink on their menu. And they don't make them weak. Plus you can mix and match too. So I sampled the lemon drop martini, the chocolate raspberry one, and some prosecco... and really don't remember anything after that, except that I had a good time!

    Given the good reviews, I decided to throw a last minute birthday celebration here recently without having ever been here before. The owner, Moti, is extremely courteous and responds quickly to any reservation requests. I wavered between taking the front space ($200 minimum) and the back room ($250 minimum), but he was able to accommodate me even though I made my decision to take the back room just a day before my birthday. The interior is very nice and intimate, with a front that opens up to the outside on nice days. The back room was not as cute, unfortunately, and seating can be a bit awkward for groups. However, happy hour prices and drinks made up for it-- all drinks are 2 for 1 before 8pm, so I was able to taste my fair share of yummy cocktails. I think what I liked best was the Godiva chocolate and raspberry vodka martini, which honestly tasted like cake (fitting, given that it was my birthday after all). Not for everyone, especially those who don't like super sweet cocktails, but I enjoyed it. Staff was friendly as well--the waitress was really good at making sure we all had drinks in hand, and was able to take multiple cards efficiently. Overall, I would come here again with a group, or also if I wanted to just grab drinks with a friend. It definitely is a great space for most gatherings.

    I fell in love with this place on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It's very cute and cozy, the staff is really friendly and helpful. The drinks were great (red Sangria - yum!) and fairly priced during happy hour ($10 for 2). The cheese plate looked really good, but we were saving our stomachs for sushi. I would definitely go back here - it's a great place to grab a few early drinks, but it's so small that I'd be reluctant to try coming here after seven thirty or so. As it was, there was hardly anywhere to sit a five o'clock on a Saturday afternoon - on a rainy day.

    Great drinks, awesome vibe, fantastic service, and caring staff - I'm definitely coming back here. I reserved the private room for my birthday party on a whim, as there were so many glowing reviews - but at the same time, was a bit skeptical. They definitely exceeded expectations though - I was told in an e-mail that I could play my own music in the private room, and the staff made sure that happened even though it was difficult to figure out with the equipment (apparently a drunk DJ messed things up in there the week prior o_o). The back room is open to the front public area, so occasionally people would get confused, wander in, and settle - and rather than any of us having to awkwardly ask them to leave, the staff, completely unprompted, explained it was a reserved area and got them to leave. You could tell they were checking in regularly, as this never became an issue and no one was waiting for service for more than a few minutes. Drinks were strong and yet well balanced - I consider $11 for a strong whiskey sour a good deal, especially in Manhattan. The one time I ordered a drink at the bar, the cute bartender was generous with the alcohol and also kind enough to ask if the drink was too sweet - service that detailed I feel is rare, especially in busy places. I also really appreciate how I was never pressured to order more - the server just asked me once if I might buy food for the group as the host, but didn't push it after I said I would think about it - I really appreciated having that space. They definitely facilitated a smooth, relaxing time and I look forward to coming back!

    What an amazing spot! I like the ambiance, the service, and the crowd. It does get pretty crowded. I enjoyed afternoon drinking from 3ish to 6 here for the 2 for 1 special. Champagne, wines, cocktails, and beer, it's nice. I also ordered the chocolate covered potato chips and grilled cheese, both delicious and so good with taste. I sure will be returning!

    Ten Degrees has been in my bookmarks for awhile, so when I joined a group of friends there I was excited to finally check it out. I didn't fall in love, however. First, the front room is way too cramped. The bar is in an awkward position so if you're sitting on the left side of the bar, or standing at the high tops along the wall, you're constantly being bumped into by people heading to the bathrooms. They have plenty of space in the back- why not rearrange some seating to make more standing room so you don't feel like you're in the middle of a bumper car ring? Also, $9 for a glass of Montepulciano? Ehh, sorry, that's steep.

    Great happy hour spot. They offer an awesome deal - 2 for 1 drinks till 8, including the top shelf stuff and any glass of wine. But what I really like about 10 degrees is that they don't then silently judge you for taking advantage of a great deal. The drinks are good, the wine is good (1/2 price bottles on Monday nights), and the small plates are delicious. Go early and often, and for gods sakes, don't tip just on the happy hour total.

    Cute place, great for late night drinks. I love the fact the windows are opened, and you can just chill out on the seats. Or better yet, you can just seat yourself at the bar and have a glass of wine or two. Service was good and bathroom wasn't crappy at all . This, I liked very much. I never knew there was a decent wine bar in the E. Village. So I suppose this is a good thing, right?

  • Brian G.

    We had a private party for around 30 guests in the back room last night. Moti, the manager, provided excellent communication from the start. I ordered food in advance off of the special events menu. Prices were reasonable and the food was really creative and tasty, especially for a bar. We had the guacomole, olive tapenade, skirt steak sliders, the 10degrees Panino, pasta with mushrooms, and pasta with prosciutto. Everything was high quality. The staff was really amazing. Our personal waitress was always around to provide drinks, approaching our guests without being pushy. I don't think I have had a nicer server in New York. The rest of the staff delivered food and cleared dishes efficiently and unobtrusively. In short, everyone at Ten Degrees did what you always expect from a bar or restaurant, but so rarely get. Excellent service, good food, at a fair price.

    This is the perfect happy hour place! This place is small but intimate and cozy. It's really clean too. They don't have any out door seating, but I saw them open up their side doors so the tables near the doors can feel a nice summer breeze. The crowd and vibe are both great. Very one is cheerfully chatting and there drinks and food are yummy. There are definitely cheaper happy hour places, but they have a 2for1 drink special until 8pm every day (one drink is about $10-$12, so its not a bad deal). I wouldn't recommend large groups to go here, because the space is so small. But they have a backroom that you can rent for private events, and I hear its not that expensive to rent it.

    I love this place! I have been coming here for awhile and I just love it. I am really big on ambiance at places and I love the ambiance here, very intimate, rustic feel and not to big. Can get crowded at happy hour, but totally understandable considering how great their drinks are. I really only come here for happy hour because I'm so in love with their drinks. Ok, so most happy hours, it's really generic and nothing special, but with theirs drinks you choose from this long list of more upscale cocktails like a fresh muddle raspberry mojito, my personal fave, the gimlet another classic and my friend had the sangria which was great. Then there are things like tom collins, champagne drinks etc! Lots to choose from and the drinks are not weak ;) another good plus...and very very tasty! The bartenders are obviously great mixologists and really take pride in their drinks (even when they are 2 for 1) and how crazy it can get. They are good every time! We didn't eat here, but the people next to us ordered food and it looked great! Also, as it gets warmer, they open up all the front doors for fresh air, so sitting up front is great. However, this time I sat at the tables in the back for the first time and noticed there is this cool private room great for larger groups, and now my friends and I have talked about having my birthday there. I mean great drinks, good food, great service and cool atmosphere it's a win win, . Highly recommend this place especially for Happy Hour...and definitely try the raspberry mojito!

    If you're looking for a place where you can: 1) Take a date 2) Make out in the corner 3) Sit at the bar with your friends 4) Drink wonderful sangria 10 degrees is your place. The lighting is perfect for setting "the mood" without any uber-loud music (or uber-loud people) and allows you to actually have a conversation with someone.

  • Jonah P.

    This is a great space, with a phenominal happy hour and very strong drinks, but the service ranges from disinterested to hostile, and for having such an extensive drink menu, the drinks themselves are very poorly made. I'll go there again to take the edge off of a day, but certainly not to find my new favorite cocktail.

  • Sajid Z.

    I like this place. No, let me say I really like this place. I was skeptical walking in here for Happy Hour on a Friday afternoon. My friends suggested it and I wasn't dressed very upscale. Didn't matter. It was a VERY laid back atmosphere, which is a requirement for happy hour. They had food, which I didn't partake in but I am going back soon to do so. The drinks.. well- let's say it does add up BUT it is worth it. I felt stressed from the work week even after it was over. I needed a good drink, which is a requirement for Happy Hour. They poured an all right drink. I asked them to make the second one a "tad-bit" stronger. Oh- they exceeded expectations and umm... it was more than a "tad-bit" of strength. AWESOME. 2-4-1 deal? Great incentive! Which of course is a requirement for happy hour. Let's see... I think the quality of people that went there was also very cool. Beautiful girls, people only smiling and no problems. No dress-code requirement- just everyone having a good time. What's not to love? It was loud though towards the end of the night. It did get crowded and I can see why but in all of my being at crowded bars before, NO ONE PUSHED AND SHOVED. Wow- what a feeling when that happens, which was never before known to me and now I don't know why people feel the need to bump elbows in crowded situations elsewhere. I read a review that the girls here are taken? Darn! You all looked so nice. I'll get the next good-looking girl there a drink just because I was happy to be there. I don't have any breaking-news on this place other than it's very chilled out and just a good time.

    We wandered into this spot and grabbed seating with no problem. Our server was quick and attentive. I liked the mood here. Nobody rushing us, and they make good cocktails. My gimlet hit the spot, and at $11, I couldn't complain. They're closer to $15 at most other joints.

    Fantastic place for HH. The crowd is usually quite mixed and there are plenty of beautiful people to look at...in fact, I was caught staring at this girl's necklace and she politely told me where she got it. Super cool. Also, this place can get loud and crowded so consider yourself warned. (Minus one star for the drinks menu has not changed - it would be good for a change.)

    The kind of place you pay to live in New York for -- I would recommend this to anyone! My boyfriend and I stopped in after Luke's Lobster for a drink, and ended up staying for several. I got the piave (highly recommend it. I don't know anything about cheese so I won't try to describe it but it was delicious), which came as a good-sized portion on a cute cutting board with a sliced apple. The bartenders were both great, friendly without being intrusive/awkward, which is what I would say about the general ambiance as well. Exemplifies the best qualities of the EV: It's laid-back but still nice. Would be perfect for a casual stop on a date, before or after dinner. There's some room in the front for groups, but I wouldn't bet on it, and the standing space is a bit awkward (although apparently there is a private room?).

  • Kelvin C.

    Met up with a couple of friends here and I was pleasantly surprised. Although there are a few bars in the area, this one definitely stood out to me with the nice big open window to sit by and it just had an overall good vibe. Although a bit small, the crowd inside was good and it wasn't yuppy or uncomfortable inside whatsoever. Happy hour was an added plus with the 2 for 1 specials. They had a good variety of drinks and believe me, they were not stingy on the alcohol at all!! If anything, we probably would have stayed for a couple more drinks if my friend had not got so drunk haha. We had a couple of appetizers which were good, but not great. A nice cozy place that is great for small groups and possibly even date. I will most likely be back to visit this place at some point.

    I'm not a big wine person but they had interesting wines to try. I love their daily happy hour 2-for-1 that goes on until 8pm! All I need to get tipsy off my chair is 2 drinks, so hells yeah! Their guac on toast is... off. I didn't see what was so great about the guacamole... This place does get crowded and it's full of young people.

  • Nidhi B.

    I've been back a few times since I wrote my review, and I have to downgrade this place after exploring other wine bars in the city. I think what gets to me the most is that Ten Degrees doesn't change their wine list. For a place that touts itself as a wine bar, this is remarkably short-sighted to me - how will you keep people coming back if you don't keep things new and exciting? I've now tried most of the wines too, and none of them stand out. The two for one happy hour is still great, but there are better wine places in the city.

    For my 26th birthday, the goal was to find a laid back venue that charged no cover, was spacious enough for a group of 20-30 people, had the option of reserving a table without bottle service and was not a dive bar. Through much intensive Yelp research, I discovered Ten Degrees - a quaint East Village wine bar that met all of my criteria. I ended up reserving their private room. Although they don't require you to order bottles, the bar enforces a minimum room guarantee for the night (there is a cheaper minimum for parties outside the private room). I thought the dollar amount was quite reasonable considering the amount of people I had and everyone was able to settle their own tabs with the waitress, similar to how it would be if you were to order drinks from the bar. The picture of the private room is a bit brighter than what it actually is. The entire space is dimly lit. I actually prefer the decor of the outside bar more, maybe because of the holiday decorations in the private room that made it feel a bit outdated. What I did like about the room was that you have two private bathrooms and there were separate controls for the room's sound system. I was disappointed with the music at first but not surprised given the reviews I read. The lounge/jazz styled tunes were appropriate for the space but because I had a private room, I wanted more upbeat songs to dance to. There was a DJ that took requests and promised me he'd play more dance music later on in the night. He kept his word and towards the end of the night, there was a good mix of hip hop and dance songs. At the very end, a couple of us got on the tables outside and started dancing. Probably one of the biggest negatives about Ten Degrees is the food. We ordered a french onion soup that lacked cheese and a molten chocolate lava cake that was average. All in all, I think this place is a really good choice for someone looking for a private event space. Moti the event coordinator was easy to work with and accomodating. I would definitely come back here to check out the scene on a regular night!

    Love love love this bar. It's one of the first places I visited before moving into the neighborhood. Now that I'm here, I make a point of stopping by at least every other week. The wait staff are all fun-lovin crazy media kids. The owner is warm and very welcoming. The atmosphere is straight out of Flatiron, chic but not off-putting or too trendy. That vibe in itself makes it stand out from the 'dive bar' vibe that the East Village has in spades. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'm mixed on the food. Sometimes it's great and other times it's just okay. But food is not the appeal. On music nights, you'll want to be up-front so that you can carry on a normal conversation but you'll be grooving to latin, jazz or a hybrid. At least when I've been there. I love this bar and I'm sure you will too. Just don't love it too much; I need a seat at the bar.

    Came here for the first time last Wednesday with a couple of friends. Place is great. Super cozy/intimate spot to have a few drinks at.

I've been raving about this place to everyone - I'll be back without a doubt!

    This is a little gem in the East Village. I recently came here for a reunion with my college roommates and we had the best time. The vibe is relaxed, though not in your typical East Village dive kinda way. There is an air of sophistication here that is subtle though felt in an unpretentious manner. The crowd was very mixed and this could be the perfect spot for drinks on a date, or like myself to catch up with old friends. Love-Love-Love!

    You really can't get a better deal than 2 for 1 happy hour EVERY DAY. Watiress seemed overwhelmed with all the orders. Screwed up a few times. Didn't bring drinks the other times. Had to ask her twice sometimes. Food was $$$ for very small portions. But...you need to eat while drinking. So they have to make up for the great happy hour somehow and this is how. Just go and drink.

    I hadn't been to this end of St. Mark's in years. Normally I hit Yaffa Cafe, get distracted, and forget about the rest. Little did I realize, half a block away is one of the better deals around. The happy hour special at Ten Degrees is the much praised 2-for-1 until 8pm, I believe. That goes for anything liquid in the bar. There are a dozen or so great wines to choose from and a handful of beers on tap. I didn't ask about cocktails or bottles of beer, though a few people were slinging them back, and the martinis looked good. The bonus feature, however, was that on Monday nights, bottles of wine are half price all night. I sat back with a fine bottle of primitivo for under $20 and read a book for an hour or two after work while I waited for my wife to join me for an early dinner. Ah, that's the life. The bar is moody and dim, the music was unobtrusive but still relevant, and the bartender was quite accommodating to my random waves and meaningless hand gestures. I didn't partake of the menu, but the fare looked good. Decent prices on apps and sandwiches, and a whole slate of cheeses and olives to pick from. I will return to Ten Degrees often in the future.

    Really cold Heiniken lights just the way I like them. Good service. Didn't experience the bar or the food but I can't complain. I was in the back room for a going away party and although the waitress was a little touchy, feely, she was on top of her game. I thought the scene in the front of the bar seemed a little boring and too low key for my taste so I'm not sure I would ever make it a point to return to Ten Degrees. Not a terrible experience. xoxo

    Stumbled upon 10 degrees after trying to find a place with a great happy hour. Needless to say, I was not disappointed! They have an extensive cocktail and wine list and everything is buy one get one free until 8pm EVERY day! Drinks are STRONG and tasty and although sometimes bartenders can be a little unattentive, they don't disappoint with drink quality. Haven't really tried the food but I can attest to the fact that the pico de gallo is divine. Definitely a hidden gem :-)

  • Gregg M.

    Making our way through East Village one bite and/or sip at a time, the girlfriend and I stopped in at 10 Degrees on a Saturday night around 8pm. 10 Degrees caught our eye with its darkened, intimate looking front bar area lit, largely, by votive candles, and an aesthetically pleasing interior reminding us of someone's personal wine cellar. Ostensibly a wine bar, 10 Degrees appears to have a nice menu of charcuterie, cheese, paninis and desserts. We skipped the grape and the grub. Instead, I opted for the Dougie's Mix ($11), a Maker's Mark and Ginger Beer concoction. While not the most complex cocktail I had while in town, it was refreshing, but a little pricey when considering some of the other, more complex, cocktails I had which cost about the same or even less. We stopped at one and moved on. If I were a local, 10 Degrees would be that neighborhood place that I'd gladly become a regular.

    This is one of my favorite happy hour spots, especially when it's warm and they open up the front of the bar. I generally start with a margarita which, depending who is working the bar, is often made with fresh squeezed lime juice and incredibly good. This makes ALL the difference. Moving on, fresh raspberry mojitos and a crispy panini with some seriously tasty ingredients. My only gripe is that the amazing little salad that comes with used to have a balsamic that was my absolute favorite, but now I simply ask for it on the side and they are always happy to accommodate. Had one "bad" experience here wherein some obnoxious girls wandered into this little gem thinking it was a rowdy college bar and, some five hours later, ended up incredibly inebriated doing body shots and knocking heavy metal chairs onto unsuspecting patrons below. Not pleasant. Thankfully they were shown out shortly thereafter and the management was apologetic, we still had a great night.

    Convenient happy hour place when I wanna see girl friends. Unlike majority of happy hour places in Manhattan, they are not loud with after work guys nor have "under 30" kind of ambiance. You can enjoy girls talk with no need of shouting to each other while you can enjoy happy hour price drinks till 8pm(2 for 1 price). You can enjoy this place both with a small group and a big group. If you are with a big group, you can stay in the couch lounge area back there. Honestly, I know lots of nice other happy hour places in this neighborhood and come back here only once in a while. But still stays one of my good options to hang out in this neighborhood.

    Whenever people ask me what 'my spot' is in New York, I say Ten Degrees without hesitation. I have yet to find a happy hour that touches Ten Degrees' two-for-one from noon until 8 p.m. For no more than $14, imbibe two perfectly mixed drinks, including everything from Manhattans and Tom Collins to more inventive champagne cocktails and of course, wine. Mark, the daytime bartender, is a joy to be around, and Moti, the owner, is freaking fantastic when it comes to reserving the private room in the back. (No fee, just a $500 guarantee for 30-plus people, or $250 guarantee for the couch in the front.) Food wise, try the guac and chips or a salad in the summer, or the seasonal soups in the fall. Oh, and if the dark-haired, slim, evening bartender puts on his iPod and you left any part of your heart in the '90s, you're in for a serious treat.

    Two-for-one happy hour until 8:00 p.m. And that includes anything.

Perfect place to unwind after a long day.

    This bar is similar to most of the dives in alphabet city. It's oddly shaped with a small room in the front, long hallway with lots of tables and a private room in the back. The decor was somewhat interesting, with french style doors, mirrors, wooden planks, red lights,a fireplace and any other odd thing you could pick up at the salvation army. The service was excellent and friendly. Prices were fair. Crowd was typical manhattanites. The food on the other hand was a shock. It started as a typical wine house spread of cheeses, breads, prosciutto and olives. Then it got funky, with over seasoned meatballs covered with cinnamon and tiny limitations of steak sandwiches. I really didn't like this place, but maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea.

    This place is good for a date, especially early on the week. Late week and weekends this place gets so packed that unless you have a seat, things get pretty bad. I didn't order food so on that I can't comment on that. There is a good selection of wines available. I tried 5 glasses of wine and all of them were good except the pinot noir. (it was very weak) The service is really good (especially if the person your going with knows the staff =) but overall, we were seated quickly and the wines kept flowing at a reasonable speed as my level of intoxication rose. Overall I'm happy and I'll go back to get some food. (probably this week)

    I have yet to go for their lauded happy hour, but this is definitely a great place for a date or hanging out with a small group of friends. Great selections of beer, wine, and cocktails. I went with a friend from Berlin who is super picky about his beers and has a penchant for denouncing American beers. I challenged him to try a local beer on the menu and he conceded it was "quite good". My own wine was also delicious, mmmm. Awesome, awesome music and the space is just oh-so-sexy. Come here to get tipsy and get laid.

  • Yumi A.

    I came here twice before writing this review (both times weeknights) and it's unfortunate that I have to downgrade stars because my first experience here was great. Apparently, consistency is not their strong suit. The atmosphere of this wine bar is really cozy and warm. It's a casual place where you can let your hair down and relax. Go early and take advantage of their 2 for 1 drink specials because past 9PM, seats are hard to come by even on weeknights. Even though they are awkward to sit in, I love the straight-out-of-elementary school chairs lining the back room. A long time ago, I was sitting on these chairs drinking milk and stealing lunchable meat from my friend. Now, I get to sip wine and nibble on artisan cheeses with a false yet reassuring feeling of grownup-ness. So why the 3 stars? Disappointment #1: We came in a little hungry and wanted to try a few things on their food menu, but our server let us know that basically half of the items were not available that day. D#2: Humboldt fog, a California cheese that I rarely find in NY, was on their cheese menu. It's one of my favorite cheeses, so of course I order it. "Sorry, we don't have that today". Figures. D#3: Drinks came fast but the food took way too long to come out. I understand that the penne was taking a while, but how long does it take to bring out a board of cheese, meat, and olives?? Even though 3 disappointments are usually enough for me to never return, I will go back in the hopes for a better time and a nice hunk of humboldt fog.

    Went here for a first date recently and we both thought it was a great little spot. The fact that the whole front of the bar is wide open is really key for summer months because you get a lot of natural light and fresh air - something that most bars in the city lack. The happy hour is great. We got two pitchers of white sangria for 40 bucks (two for one!) which carried us through the entire evening (we were there for like five hours). The bartender was super cool and friendly. Can't speak to the food because the kitchen was closed by the time we were ready to snack (like 11 pm) but overall would highly recommend this place. Very chilled out low key vibe.

  • Chantelle D.

    I like 10 Degrees. They have a killer Happy Hour (buy 1, get 1 free) everyday until 8pm and a great selection of drinks from tasty Manhattans, yummy sangria to a large selection of wines and more. They are also much bigger than they look and have several rooms you can get your HH on from the bar in the front room, the somewhat dining room set-up in the middle and the (what I fondly think of) as the "club" room in the back with settees. Hungry? No problem! They have a menu from meat and cheese plates to salads, paninis, sliders and more. It's really a perfect place for a date with the low lighting and candles, to catching up with girlfriends over (numerous) of 2-4-1 bottles of wine or just grabbing a quick tipple on your way home from work. The only thing that bugs me is the bathrooms: black toilets and holes in each of the doors make for a slightly unsettling experience, but for the cheap sips and tasty bites, I can suppose I can deal!

    can't say for sure that i've ever been here. but after reading the couple of responses by "Moti" posted over the last few days, i'm not sure i want to . very rude and condescending. what kind of manager responds so publicly with such an obvious distaste for their customers??? and what's wrong with people from Boise? they have to pay rent there, too. jeeeez.

    Ten Degrees is a favorite of mine. I'm staying true and giving it 5 stars even though, lately its been a bit too crowded. The wine selection is varied and always great. The east village has a lot of great places to chose from and if you're someone who likes small wine bars, Ten Degrees is a place you should visit. Happy hour here is 2 for one as well, so its decently priced. Lastly, their meat and cheese plate is really good. 5 Stars for Ten Degrees! Oh also, they have a few back rooms for rent for parties that are decently priced in comparison to other venues.

    Best happy hour in the city. I love it here! Make sure to get the La Caprese appetizer, sooooo good!

    This place got my attention, and I will definitely be returning. The happy hour runs till 8 PM, and it's 2-4-1 on everything! So, let's say you want some 12 year old scotch? How about 2? Or some Peak Organic Pale Ale? How about 2? Wine? You guessed it. What a great deal. Not too mention, it's a beautiful space and the service is really quite great. I really love the vibe in there... upscale bar/pub but friendly and happy. This place gets my vote!

    Pretty great happy-hour deal, with the 2 for 1 offer on anything. Other than that, it's a little narrow and hard to move around unless you're fast enough to grab some seats up front. Been here a few times and apparently 2:30AM is the right hour for dancing on the bar (only room to dance in the place!) Solid addition to the busy neighborhood, and fun, attractive professional crowd.

    I am going out of my way to write my very first Yelp review for this AMAZING East Village gem. I was immediately drawn to this restaurant while planning a night out for a few friends and myself for a relaxed Tuesday evening because of the rave reviews for their 2-4-1 happy hour. It certainly did not disappoint. As soon as my girlfriends and I stepped into the restaurant we were taken in by the ambiance of this modern, candle-lit, and cozy wine bar. It is literally the perfect place for a chill evening out with good friends. After being greeted super graciously and shown to a comfortable table in the corner, we began to look over the drink list. Every cocktail on the menu sounded fresh and delicious, making it extremely difficult for us to narrow our drink choices. I ended up ordering their Tom Collins which was phenomenal. Gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar, club soda, and a maraschino cherry garnish. You can tell that fresh ingredients and top shelf liquor are certainly being used. And properly. We snacked on a few appetizers while drinking and chatting the early evening away while the bar hummed with relaxed energy all around us. My favorite appetizer of the evening: the homemade guacamole. Four Tom Collins' later (for the price of only two), I was more than pleasantly buzzed as we paid the tab and spilled our way onto the street and continued on with our perfect evening in the East Village.

    This was one of my first going out experiences in New York...I checked it out after having Moroccan food. I like the atmosphere. This place had a DJ spinning hip-hop on the night I went, but it wasn't overpowering either...there were still lots of conversations going on. People were generally willing to mingle, and there was a large birthday party going on in the back room...all in all, a good time. I'd definitely check it out again! I only had one bottle of their wine. I forgot what type of wine we had, but it was a red (probably Cab?), and it was pretty decent.

    Met up with some friends for a B-day party here last night. The place is kinda small but the atmosphere was really good and the service was excellent. There is a wine bar in the front and a private room in the back, which is where we were. The room was big enough for our group and there was never any interruptions from other bar goers. Only negative was that we had to leave the room after a certain time because another party was coming in. This wouldn't be so bad but the rest of the bar wasn't big enough for our group to loiter in so it was uncomfortable for the last 30 minutes we stayed. Definitely a nice place to have a party or even just to hang out.

    What an unexpected treat! I came here on a friend's recommendation. In honor of Frank Sinatra's birthday, my guy friends and I "suited up" and took a break from our usual dive bar hopping to enjoy a night of specially made cocktails. Come here before 8 PM to enjoy two-for-one drinks. The cocktails are pricey (most in the $11-12 range) so this is a great deal. I began with their version of an old fashioned (Maker's Mark, sugar and muddled cherry and orange) that made my cheeks flush almost immediately! (I'm usually a beer-and-wine-only kind of girl.) I asked our friendly bartender for "something bubbly." He recommended the French 75, which contained champagne, gin, Cointreau, sugar, orange peel and simple syrup. It was exactly what I craved! The drink was a lot less sweet than you'd think it would be. I ended my visit with a wonderful cabernet sauvignon ($9) and a promise to return very soon.

    First off - food was good, happy hour was awesomely priced and the drinks well made. So why the bad review you may ask? One reason - the waitress was SO rude it was unreal. I was there in the afternoon and had not been drinking beforehand. I spoke to her twice in the entire time I was there, both times to order drinks. After one round of drinks she brought the check and walked off. I called after her and said "excuse me, we're not actually ready for the check, could we have another look at the drinks menu please". She came back took the check away and placed the drinks menu down. No sign of problems.... Then when we ordered, she said to me, in full view of my three companions (one other guy and two girls) that I had been rude and raised my voice to her twice since being there and if I did it again would be asked to leave! We all looked at each other completely confused but the waitress was gone in a flash. I decided it best not to speak to the waitress myself seeing as she clearly had a problem with me and instead my friend cancelled our drinks order and asked for the check. I should say I'm from the UK so maybe my accent stands out more than the American crowd, perhaps she misunderstood me. I really don't know. But I'm always polite and didn't appreciate being "shamed" like that for absolutely nothing. We paid, left no tip and walked out. A shame because I liked this place. I guess I should give it another go in the hope she's been fired by now but with so many other places why take the risk....

    totally cute/chlll wine bar, a very pleasant experience indeed. the only "wine" bar that has a late night dance party with people dancing on top of the bar. i hear happy hour is great, so i must come bak and see for myself!

  • BJ M.

    Didn't order any food, but the drink selection is great. My GF ordered the strawberry Mojito which was excellent and I ordered the whiskey and ginger special which was standard and good. This place definitely doesn't skimp on the alcohol in the mixed drinks. I generally love Cabernet Sauvignon, but i didn't like the one that 10 Degrees has. If i could I would give this place 3.5 stars, but 3 stars definitely is too low. Also 2 for 1 happy hour is nice but it gets packed... we went on a Friday night. Excellent ambiance and overall experience.

    i like this place. cozy wine bar in a great location in the east village. Great for a date or a girls night out. We each had a glass of one and then got 1 small dish of mushroom crostinis which were quite tasty! Great spot to start the night out, or for a mellow, yet sexy, drinks + snacks date.

    I really like this place. It's got nice big open windows for pretty days, and if you get there early enough you can camp out on the chairs in the front. happy hour is awesome- buy one get one free until 8pm. they have fabulous wine, and great cocktails as well. it's a bit on the small side, but worth it anyways. they do serve food, although i haven't had any. great for a date, or meeting a small group of friends, although it can get crowded on a beautiful day after work.

    A great wine bar in a great neighborhood. 10 degrees is my favorite wine bar so far. It has an industrial and tasteful design. Its selection of wines is pretty interesting, with the Portuguese "Dao" being my favorite, if you like it spicy. Douglas is one of the most awesome and hospitable bartenders and will make you feel like at a friend's house party. The music ranges from indie rock, to trip hop, to alternative. The crowd is always very interesting, with good looking groups of people. It's a good spot for both a date or a solo night.

    There's not too much to say about this wine bar, apart from a good East Village staple for happy hour, a date, meeting an old friend or even a relaxed professional drink...the happy hour specials are a good buy (2 for 1's till 8) and they are one of the few bars in this city that serve Ithaca Nut Brown beer...for anyone who's ever lived in Ithaca, you know that this is a great central New York microbrew that you don't see that often in a place like NYC. The vibe is chill and the crowd is usually pretty laid back...certainly enough where you can strike up a convo with your neighbor sitting next to you at the bar. The service however, was lacking a bit...the bartenders needed a good dose of ritalin in order to get their attention. Overall, it's a decent place for a drink or to meet up before hitting another more amped up spot.

    Best deal in East Village. 2 for 1 drinks until 8pm...I ordered blueberry stoli and sprite and they put fresh blueberries in it! I bet if you order strawberry stoli and sprite, they put fresh strawberries in that as well...This place is high class all the way! What a great way to start the weekend!

    came here for happy hour because they have some kind of 2 for 1 deal but the prices are high to begin with so in the end its not much of a deal bartenders were nice but SLAMMED & in the weeds very crowded with unpleasant patrons

    I went here two nights ago to catch up with a friend who I hadn't seen in ages, and I'm so glad we chose this place. The vibe is very laid back. And even though it's a bit on the small side and there was a decent sized crowd, I didn't feel crowded. I was there on a Wednesday night, and the Happy Hour special was 2 for 1 -- for wine! Bonus points for that. A glass of pinot grigio was $9 (but since I was there around 7, it was two for $9). They also have some slammin' cheese and olive plates. $21 will get you a three plate combo, so we tried some sort of goat cheese, the 10-olive mix, and I believe some kind of smoked beef (I was a little tipsy at that point - it could have been anything) All in all, it's a cool vibe, not too loud, and the price is good for Manhattan. Perfect for grabbing a drink and catching up with old friends.

    I've passed by Ten Degrees a few times, and when I finally went there, I was surprised by how loud it was despite having originally looked quite classy and a place for a nice drink. Although my expectations were different, I had a decent time overall. The bartenders were nice and speedy, and it was fun to sit at the bar and watch them make all the drinks. The layout of the wine bar is very narrow, so once it's crowded (and loud), it's a little difficult to deal with. I was sad there was no Processco by the glass.

    Cheap wine! delicious cheese! Whats not to love? The happy hour (2 for 1 drinks) is amazing. it applies to bottles of wine! So I came here with friends and we ended up getting four bottles of wine for about $60. Thats almost as cheap as buying the wine in a liquor store! And the wine was delicious! We also ordered a cheese plate, guacamole plate, olives, a salad and several other drinks, martinis and beers, etc. Ya, we were there a while. But of course, we wouldnt have stayed so long if it was totally worth it! The Israeli salad: delicious, fresh. Olives: wonderful! I love olives. cheese plate: all the cheeses were amazing. So happy with it. guac platter: this is the only one i didnt love. They put WAY WAY WAY too much lemon in it. I couldnt taste the avocados, which is so sad. The drinks were wonderful and the waiter was awesome. He had great recommendations and was super friendly. The only this I found "not to love" here was the acoustics. We were sitting in the back room and for some reason there were a few groups of girls sitting back there who found the need to screech and yell the whole time. I dont know what they were so excited about, but it was super disturbing to try to enjoy wine while shrieking banshees and hyenas were in there. The acoustics in that back room made their shrieks echo too. I dont understand why girls need to scream like that, if i ever do that, please, murder me and save me from myself. Thankfully, they left and were replaced by normal, human beings, while we continued to drink.

    I hosted a birthday party at Ten Degrees last Saturday, and it was perfect. We rented the space in the front of the bar for 20-25 people from 10pm - 12am, and as promised, as soon as we arrived they cleared everyone out of the are for us to use the couches and have standing room. The servers were incredibly attentive to our group, and they made sure that people who couldn't get in bc of the crowds were squeezed in. They were also great about using separate tabs once we covered our minimum. Overall the atmosphere was great, and the service was wonderful. I would definitely go back - it's a great place to host a reasonably priced party at a lounge in the city.

    The place itself is pretty cool - a dimly lit wine bar with a decent cocktail menu located in a cool part of town. I haven't tried the food but it looked fine. The two times I've been I've had a good time. The first time I came was for two friends' birthday party and we had the back room reserved. I was skeptical at first since there was no private bartender and instead was a single waiter taking drink order for over 25 of us. I ended up being pleasantly surprised though. The waiter got all our our orders right, remembered what each of us were drinking and didn't screw up anyones tab. I was drinking gin and tonics - nothing elaborate by any means - but they were good and strong. They clearly weren't cheap w/ the pours. The other time I came for happy hour. The 2 for 1 happy hour deal is great. This time around we were drinking cocktails all of which were expertly made. If you hit this place at the wrong time it's really crowded and can be very uncomfortable since it's pretty small to being with. If you're able to get a nice spot and post up (as we did) then it's much more enjoyable. 3 stars, it didn't blow me away but I enjoyed myself both times. I'd come back.

    Terrific spot. Nice place for a date too, as the setting is semi-dark and it's not too loud, even on weekends. Wines by the glass are a bit pricey, but the list is good nonetheless. Go around 9 pm, and you'll have the comfy couch setting all to yourself. They also serve tapas.

    newly opened seven weeks ago, 10 degrees is in the space that was formerly open air and then some very forgettable bar. stylishly designed with white exposed brick walls, dark woods, a u-shaped bar, and a space that opens to the street, it reminded me a little of moto in brooklyn and the room in soho. very comfortable with a tasty and reasonably priced selection of wines, beer, meats, and cheeses. the jamon serrano didn't look like anything you'd fine in spain, but i was feeling very forgiving after multiple glasses of the crisp stella pinot grigio. the friendly owner came spoke with my group for a little and cut us a bit of a discount on our check after considerable consumption. my new favorite wine bar in the e.v.

    I love this place! I stumbled upon it after finding BUA overly crowded as usual. Smooth, modern furnishing with an easygoing, romantic vibe. I had some nice glasses of wine & nibbled on some well presented cheese plates while enjoying the street scenery. It's definitely going on the favorites list.

    went here on saturday night. chill place, big space in the back. beers are over priced ($8), wine is priced fair. $40/bottle. not too packed which was nice. good scene if you can get a seat. clientele is still to be debated...

  • jeff l.

    i liked it much better as grungy, loud and sometimes almost empty drum n bass space openair. now it's a nice comfortable space but a bit of a half-assed wine bar. we tried four different bottles, all just ok. veloce is much better.

  • Swarup B.

    given from the fact that i'm kinda gone right now from the pretty dang good pinot noir that me and my friends had gotten from here, i'll say this is a swell place. the bartenders are more than adequate to help you find your drink of choice but i think what did me in was the glenfiddich 12 i had at the end of the night. anyways, we really enjoyed ourselves at this nice wine bar in alphabet city and i would go again not only to here but to any other wine bar in general....

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
