About this business

Located across the street from Tompkins Square Park, Yuca Bar is a superb pan-Latin restaurant. The bar offers a happy-hour everyday and it's a great place for a drink after a day hanging out in the park. Take a seat by the window and people watch while you drink handcrafted cocktails, wines or Sangria. If you are here to eat exclusively, the menu features dishes from Brazil, Mexico, Cuba and elsewhere in the Spanish speaking world.

best b-day – Was owed a meal from a friend and she ended up taking me to the Yuca Bar and wow was the place great. The drinks are great, have two of them and you?ll swear that you have some percentage of Latin in you. Our app, name I am forgetting, was comprised of beef, fried onions, and flat bread ? amazing. The Paella was great; the portion was too much for one person and subsequently became a take home item. The tres leche was one of the best I ever had, seemed a bit on the small side, but again it was so good we could h... read more

great drinks!!!! – I went to Yuca Bar this past saturday night with four friends for a birthday dinner (mine). Although they wouldn't take reservations, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The food was Terrific, and the margaritas were good and really, really strong. My friend had the sea bass, and I coveted it all night, b/c it was so yummy. I would get that next time, although the seared tuna special i had was tasty as well. Also, the hostess (whose name I don't know) was so, so nice - a big change from the snotfaced... read more

Liars – My husband and I went to Yuca Bar last night because we haven't been there in a while and loved their mojitos. After checking their website, we saw they were advertising happy hour from 5-8 on weekends. Once we got to the restaurant and asked the hostess about the happy hour, she acted clueless, as if she had no idea what we were talking about. Once we were seated, two tables behind us also asked about the weekend happy hour and were very unhappy about the false advertising. The Manager had the nerve to say that they... read more

great place to hang out! – i went to yuca last thursday with some friend from work, looking around we saw the happy hour specials and we went in, the place was packed, so we had few drinks at the bar while waiting. The mojitos are some of best i tried in the city. When we sat the waitress was very knowlegable and answered all my questions since i was not familiar with some of the things. The steak was delish, and the tuna was cooked as requested wich is unusual, the tapas were small but tasty. I will defenatly recommend this... read more

worst service ever! – we order 6 $10 shots of tequilla and they gave us water... not watered down tequilla... straight water... and when asked why they were all water he said and i quote "that tequilla is really smooth, huh?" in the most smug of tones... i hate Yuca Bar and will never go there again... please do the same!

Awesome!! I found this place by luck and I'm glad I did! The food was delicious! The drinks were GREAT!! And the staff puts the icing on the cake.The prices were average. Not cheap but not ridiculously expensive but it is so well worth it if you want a good meal!! I went with 3 other people who all had different meals and they loved it! Very comfortable atmosphere.

Excellent Happy Hour - Tough To Beat – I was here with a friend a few weeks ago for happy hour around 7pm on a Tuesday... it's a tough deal to beat. All of the small plates (tapas) are half off and if I recall correctly, the drinks were also. The outside seating area is sort of small but if you are lucky enough to land a table out there, you should take it because Yuca is on the corner and the area around the restaurant is la*d back and relaxing. The interior of the restaurant has a cool South American/Cuban theme and works ... read more

Great Drinks, Inexpensive Lunch – Really tasty latin drinks and great prices on lunch menu. They often have happy hours which really make the check easy on the wallet. Great people watching when it is nice outside.

Awesome – I drink mojitos pretty much wherever I go, and Yuca Bar has the best mojitos I've ever had. Service was excellent, food was great, and the drinks are strong. Couldn't ask for anything more
