The only thing New Yorkers like more than brunch? Bottomless brunch. You don’t have to leave your neighborhood to stumble into a spot serving up unlimited brunch cocktails (though with so many good options across the city, you might want to add a few farther afield to your brunch bucket list). We’ve rounded up just 10 of our favorites, broken down by neighborhood.
- Agave: West Village
This West Village tequila bar serves up quality Mexican brunch fare – think Huevos Rancheros, a spicy scrambled egg breakfast burrito, and an array of tacos – alongside more traditional brunch plates (silver dollar pancakes!). However, the main draw is the bottomless margaritas. The flat $30 covers both your unlimited margs and an entrée of your choice (you can also opt for unlimited mimosas or wine). But for us: ¡Tequila!
The Bottom(less) Line: $30 for 90 minutes of unlimited mimosas, wine, or margaritas, includes one entrée. - Miss Lily’s 7A Café: East Village
Partygoers can always count on the East Village for an ever-bustling array of hotspots – and our brunch pick for this ‘hood is no exception. Diners looking for a quiet meal would best look elsewhere, but those who want a side of boogie with their eggs would do well to check out Miss Lily’s bottomless brunch. This colorful Jamaican diner offers an hour of unlimited Bellinis, rum punches, or dutty wine (Miss Lily’s Jamaican take on sangria) for $25. Note: You’ll have to purchase one entrée separately from a menu including plates like coconut pancakes and spicy jerk chicken.
The Bottom(less) Line: $25 for one hour of unlimited Bellinis, rum punch, or dutty wine, entrée purchased separately. - Pil Pil: Upper East Side
For those who prefer to sample a little bit of everything at brunch, we present Pil Pil, an UES tapas spot dishing up a menu of tasty small plates filtered by different regions of Spain. Choose one region – Basque, Catalonia, Galicia, or Andalucia – and get your choice of three tapas alongside unlimited sangria, mimosas, or Bellinis for just $19.95. (FYI: their menu doesn’t specify a time limit. Take that as you will.)
The Bottom(less) Line: $19.95 for unlimited sangria, mimosas, or Bellinis and three tapas dishes. - Crave Fish Bar: Upper West Side
Bottomless brunch is a ‘shore’ thing at Crave Fish Bar, an UWS seafood spot offering a “Drink Like a Fish” brunch ¬special: just $19 for unlimited Bloody Mary, mimosa, or beer (an Estrella pilsner) for 90 minutes. Food must be purchased separately from a seafood-heavy menu, including a lobster roll, fried fish sandwich, a crab and gruyere omelet, and more. Plus, they boast an impressive raw bar (don’t forget to ask about the $1.50 “Shucker’s Choice” oyster of the day).
The Bottom(less) Line: $19 for 90 minutes of bottomless Bloody Marys, mimosas, or beer. - Hudson West: Hell’s Kitchen
This Hell’s Kitchen eatery’s draw is the bottomless build-your-own mimosa special: Your choice of unlimited sparkling wine mixed with your choice of orange, blood orange, or peach nectar juice. Meals are a la carte; choose from an eclectic brunch menu with offerings including Dutch Baby Pancakes with berries, and cinnamon-cream, Gochujang Kimchi wings, mussels in a garlic and feta cream broth, and gyro sliders.
The Bottom(less) Line: $29 for 1.5 hours of unlimited build-your-own mimosas with your choice of juice, entrée purchased separately. - Lido: Harlem
Harlem denizens know Lido as a popular neighborhood Italian spot serving up fresh Northern Italian staples in a cozy, brick-walled setting. However, serious brunchers will make the trek uptown for their bottomless mimosa brunch. Unlimited mimosas for 90 minutes at just $16 a pop? That’s what we call a sweet deal. Entrees must be purchased separately – we suggest ordering a pasta to soak up all those bubbles.
The Bottom(less) Line: $16 for 90 minutes of unlimited mimosas, entrée purchased separately. - Milk & Roses: Greenpoint
The only bottomless deal on the list even sweeter than Lido’s can be found at this quaint Greenpoint eatery both bibliophiles (peep the wall-to-wall book-lined library upon entrance) and brunchers will love. Also boasting a large, leafy back patio with picnic table style seating, Milk & Roses offers unlimited mimosas for an hour for just 17 bucks – including your meal. We’re not mathematicians, but we’d say that’s the equivalent of practically free. The Italian-leaning brunch menu includes an approachable list of options including tasty salads, pizza, and more egg dishes.
The Bottom(less) Line: $17 for one hour of unlimited mimosas, includes one entrée. - Ainslie: Williamsburg
This laidback wood-fired pizzeria and beer garden serves tasty ‘za alongside small plates, salads, and a solid egg-heavy brunch menu. Pick one brunch entrée (we like the Eggs in Purgatory – eggs baked in a spicy tomato sauce with polenta) and enjoy unlimited mimosa, Bloody Mary, or boozy spiked iced tea for 90 minutes. Planning to brunch with a large group? Consider the family-style menu for parties of 8 or more.
The Bottom(less) Line: $28 for 90 minutes of unlimited mimosas, Bloody Marys, or spiked iced tea, includes one entrée. - Scottadito Osteria Toscana: Park Slope
This Park Slope spot has a large brunch menu featuring egg dishes with Italian twists alongside heartier red sauces plates, like tagliatelle with melted brie, smoked prosciutto, arugula, and truffle oil. All the better to soak up unlimited mimosas (or straight champagne, if you want to ditch the OJ) for 90 minutes, included with the purchases of one entrée. Prefer a Bloody or another brunch cocktail? Order them a la carte for just $5 a pop.
The Bottom(less) Line: $29.95 for 90 minutes of bottomless mimosas, includes one entrée. - Brown Butter Craft Bar & Kitchen: Bed Stuy
This popular Bed Stuy spot is beloved in the neighborhood for their home-baked biscuits ¬– make sure to order a few when you come in for their $20 bottomless mimosa brunch. Sip unlimited OJ and bubbly for two hours while enjoying a menu of a la carte, Southern-leaning brunch options including chicken and waffles, bread pudding, and, of course, biscuits and gravy.
The Bottom(less) Line: $20 for 2 hours of unlimited mimosas, entrée purchased separately.
