Gossip Bar & Restaurant

A neighborhood gem that took me 7 years to find… Sunday Brunch is delicious and consistent something other places on 9^th ave struggle with, bartender Bridgette is a delight.

A Hell’s Kitchen gem. My boyfriend and I went here this weekend before seeing a Broadway show. The service was quick and the food (we shared the muscles) was filling and delicious. But the best part? The drinks were good and cheap. My margarita, for example, was only $ 5 … a definite win compared to the borough’s pricey cocktails. We even stopped by for another drink after the show and the drinks were still cheap. Will definitely be coming here again.

My husband and I come here often because the drinks are good and very reasonably priced. The staff is attentive and the food is good. My favorite plate is the steak salad. I get lots of steak on top if the salad. We introduce our family and friends to Gossip when we get the opportunity.

Perfection. Everything one could want from a NYC, post church, brunch. Excellent food and beverage, graciously served, with sports and music on in the background– but not at ear splitting volume. Our servers were great, including Elizabeth.
Will definitely be back.

DO NOT GO HERE.
My girlfriend and I walked into Gossip and ordered a drink each and the potato chips as an appetizer. The waitress later dropped our waters and drinks off and disappeared. Never saw her again. No refills on the water… nothing. We finished our drinks and had to leave and then wondered if the appetizer was even ordered. My girlfriend walked down to the waitress station (uh…because she never came back over to check on us) and asked her politely if we could pay for our drinks and cancel our potato chips. She yelled, «You can’t just cancel your order because want to leave!» She did this in front of another waitress. My girlfriend was still polite and said the food never arrived. Our waitress rolled her eyes and grabbed her credit card out of her hand. My girlfriend came back over and told me what went down. I proceeded to walk over to her and give her an ear full for being so damn rude and said, «If the food doesn’t show up, we can cancel the damn order!»
I am in NYC every other week for work and we will NEVER go here again. I am letting my clients know not to go here. What a waste of time. Do yourself a favor and head across the street to Yum Yum Thai Bangkok for amazing service and awesome Thai food. That hit the spot.

Drinks are pretty inexpensive here and the restaurant seems clean/​cozy. I’d def recommend this place if you’re planning to pregame.

Went to NYC this past weekend for a girls trip and a friend lives in the city and recommended this place for brunch.
They open at 11 and we got there at 11:15 and seated immediate. The restaurant was immaculate, our server came right over with menus.
Their brunch menu is decent, I had the Belgian waffle with caramelized apples and bacon. This dish was to die for, simple yet the perfect combination of sweet and salt. The bacon was thick and I wish I had more. I got a side of sausage which are links and amazing.
The best part about Gossip, $ 18 UNLIMITED brunch beverages: mimosas, screwdrivers and bloody Mary’s. Needless to say by 1:30 we knew it was time to go.
Great food, great service, great drinks, great atmosphere. I wish I lived closer.

Recently attended a small party here. The service was great (our waitress very accommodating and sweet), and I loved the location. It wasn’t very busy (Tuesday night), and quite a ways from the quintessential «typical» NYC haunts in the West Village and more touristy fare near Times Square. I enjoyed that. I had the sliced filet mignon to start (appropriately portioned), which was delicious and well-​priced, and then a burger and fries. I asked for a well done burger, but it arrived medium, instead. Not a big issue, but I ate around the middle. The hand-​cut fries, however, were very tasty. I would 100% go here again for drinks, or just a quiet place to eat.

Black bean burger with onions, peppers, mushrooms and avocado is a vegans dream. Don’t forget the dark and stormy drinks made by Owen

I don’t know how I’ve missed this in the past; I manage to hit most of the places along 9^th when I come in for Saturday matinees. Gossip was a great brunch. Not the cheapest in town but the food was really good and the portions were quite generous. And unlike many of the places along 9^th, they actually put booze in the Bloody Mary’s.
I’d definitely go back!

Stopped in for a few apps before heading out for the night! Great food and drinks! We had the sauasge flatbread special and the house

Great brunch! Hubby loved the Irish breakfast with eggs over easy. Blood pudding and rashers were outstanding. I enjoyed the Irish hash with poached eggs. Unlimited mimosas are a great deal. Fun courteous atmosphere. Love it here.

This was the first time I came to this restaurant with a group of friends. I ordered the chicken marsala dish, and it was pretty good. The waiter was friendly and the magic show they had was entertaining. Great atmosphere for couples, friends, families, and kids :)

I came here on a whim with a guy friend on a Sunday night/​in the early morning and the place was less than ¹⁄₃ empty. Bartender was friendly even though we only ordered one drink. Periodically came to check up on us. Not sure if it was out of friendliness or rudeness. OK place, but definitely probably wouldn’t eat here as the food we saw looked nasty.

The few times Ive been here Ive only ever hung out on the second floor, but the vibe and ambience of the dimly lit 1^st floor bar and table area looks even more cozy inviting to eat, drink and catch a game.
The food here is actually pretty good– it’s nice to be able to eat bar food that isn’t entirely greasy or overloaded with seasoning or bland.
Good selection of beers on tap and bottled. Always gets an extra star if they have smithwicks on tap.

I would recommend Gossip as a good place to meet up with folks after work. The location is fairly close to midtown and the bar does not have that $$$$ for lame food/​drink midtown feel.
There are some good drink specials — the food was priced only slightly more than I would have paid for it and all was prepared well (Fish & Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Onion Rings, Curly Fries, Nachos).
The waitress was friendly and had good timing when it came to getting the next round.

Trust me: BUFFALO MAC AND CHEESE. You will thank me for it.
One of my friends who visits NYC a lot swears by this place. I walked past it a million times — same ol NYC story — and never went in. I am a regular at another place close to this one. Our bartender had the night off, and it’s just not the same without him. So I said, Hey, how bout Gossip.
Their happy hour was just a’ight. I believe I paid $ 6 for a cosmo, they had some beer and wine/​wells specials. The buffalo mac and cheese was out of this world. It’s an appetizer but it was enough for a meal. It’s the best thing EVAR.
The one bartender, Brigid, was very sweet. I saw her the second time I went, and she was happy I remembered her. The little things

My group got fish and chips and the mixed bean sandwich. Very happy with both… Will definitely come again

Went here for A Taste of Magic show and the second floor was reserved. The seating was spacious, and the staff friendly and responsive, but only two for the whole floor. There was also a pretty nice bar with various drinks to choose from.
The salads we received for appetizer were supposed to have balsamic dressing, but they had French instead on the side. The lettuce was very bland and our table received them on different plates.
I had a burger for my entrée which was thick and delicious– finally a worthwhile treat and even broke my no meat rule! They even put it on multigrain bread for me to feel somewhat less guilty. The fries were decent.
The cheesecake wasn’t good, but I’m not a cheesecake fan anyway. And I did eat the crust anyway.
Still deserving of 3 stars for the burger, atmosphere, and of course the show. The show gets 5!

I had never been here before much to my amazement even though its literally across the street from one of my friend’s apartments. Also, where my bud was conveniently hosting his 30^th birthday two weeks ago. He had the entire upper floor room rented out I think for free. They specialize in hosting parties of all types pretty well. Trust in that there were enough people there and party crashers for whatever deal the bar had going to make this room being rented out cheap/​or free. It’s a really nice and generous space and very warmly lit. Also, I was pretty impressed that they had even a coat check hanger area by the door upstairs. Drinks were affordable for Mid-​town at least and pretty darn strong. I was a hot mess later.
I will say that eventually at some point in the night I plopped down at the bar area by myself and ordered a grilled cheese and curly fries. They were really freaking delicious. Or I was just drunk. Because they don’t even have a grilled cheese on their menu and I’m pretty sure I just demanded that. Kudos for Gossip putting up with my crazy request. Also, the pairs short program was airing on tv and some dude came up to me and asked if he could have one of my precious french fries and I nearly ripped his hand off for reaching out to my grub and disturbing my figure skating program viewing.
