Customer Reviews
The Holler has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on over 186 reviews on Google
Walked in based on a referral from my work partner. Had and enjoyed the Octane. Tasty, strong and hits. Took me two days to finish. Octane is sooooo yummy that while drinking the beverage you don’t really realize how strong it is until the beverage is done. I recommend this joint. Staff were friendly and inviting. Spot had a good crowd, not tooo crazy and the vibe was calm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Perfect local queer / queer friendly bar! This place saw us through COVID with their amazing back garden, picnic tables spaced perfectly, and heat lamps. The drinks are always amazing. They have plenty of beers on tap (and cider), they have killer frozen drinks, and a fully stocked bar for any other mixed drinks you heart desires. The bar tenders are THE friendliest bartenders I’ve experienced in all of NYC and it makes such a huge difference! The Holler started indoor seating which is great for cool nights, but the garden is where it’s at when it’s warm!
This is a great local bar that has a lot of character and plenty of drinks to offer. They have a lot of good cocktails such as a good skinny Margarita. Has a great backyard and it seems like a very open and safe space for everyone to go for fun. The bartenders were nice and offered suggestions. Very nice backyard with plenty of space and even a smoking area, but does blow around in the non smoking area. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't for people smoking in the backyard.
Great bar with a selection of board games available and Juke box. We went on a Saturday late afternoon when it was quiet, but it picked up a lot around 7pm. Nice cocktails and reasonable prices.
This place is kinda perfect. Nice beers, delicious cocktails, sick boozy frozen bois, two restrooms, a makeout nook, slick backyard, cozy booths, friendly and extremely passionate Sunday bartender, and good music & decor/vibe. I can't wait to go back!
absolutely loved The Holler. Great drinks, great environment, a great time truly.
Everyone was super nice, great lively crowd, even for a hot Sunday afternoon. Neighborhood is a bit spotty so absolutely vital to have a great spot like this not suck. The spiked lemonade seemed to be super popular, but I wasn't drinking so can't say for myself. Backyard area was cute too.
