Agozar Cuban Bistro infuses the Bowery with the liveliest Cuban food NYC has to offer. Our Cuban restaurant...

Worst

Maybe they're just getting their sea legs. I don't know. But here's what I thought. The margaritas were too tart. The space cramped. The service disorganized(though very nice...

Mucho para gozar! 3/8/2003

The food is excellent and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. However, the bar/drinks service is extremely slow because they haven't figured out the right staffing mix yet. I guess they didn't know they'd be this popular! Great drinks too! Pros: Food, Drinks Cons: Slow drink service more

warmth on a cold winter's night 2/20/2003

Went to agozar with a couple friends the other night looking to get out of the cold... and were treated to delicious drinks (especially the caprihinias!) and tasty authentic Cuban food served tapas style. The place looked great and everyone was grooving to the sounds of live Cuban music. Service was friendly and the drinks kept coming... almost fast enough to forget about the cold! Agozar is just what the Bowery needed! I recommend to one and all... Pros: Inexpensive, Good for Groups more

bland decor and food. 2/17/2003

I was interested to check this place out because I love Cuban food and was excited to try a new place on the Bowery. The decor put me off to begin with-it looked dated at around 1987, didn't look finished and the colors while trying, I imagine, to be ""hot hot hot"" left me cold cold cold. We were told the food was basically tapas and so my friend and I tried a variety of dishes most of which I found bland and overpriced. We also ordered a round of mojitos, which took forever to arrive but were fine, although for 10 buck a pop they should be. Overall it was a dissapointing meal in a tacky setting. Pros: Decent drinks Cons: Bland food, Overpriced, Tacky decor more

Agozar! Good Food Good Time! 1/14/2003

I was very impressed with Agozar! The food is great and the service is very good. Everyone that works there makes you feel very comfortable. I've been there twice and the music was better the second time. It had more newer dance songs and 80's hits than the first time. I hope the owners decide to go with that format more than the traditional Cuban music. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. more

Fab food and mojitos 1/10/2003

Checked out Agozar last week -the food and drinks were fantastic (must try the croquettes and empenadas!). The was service was friendly and attentive, which like the warm decor (and great separate bar/restaurant setup), and authentic Cuban music creates a chill, inviting vibe. Definitely a great new addition to the neighborhood. Pros: inexpensive, great drinks more

  • The Scene
    The bar's upbeat Latin music, colorful stools and cocktail napkins, and a fruity drink menu are the first confirmations that Agozar lives up to its translation: "A good time." Add gracious staff, 25 tasting-sized tapas and lively noise from the dining room and you'll be planning your second visit before you've been seated. Mingle at the angled bar or hit the narrow back room where the city's pretties are celebrating birthdays like it's their full-time job.

    The Food
    Cuban-raised siblings Diana and Gerardo Perez now offer their household favorites for sharing. (Servers suggest two per person for passing.) Groups will appreciate larger plates such as the harmonious Cuban sandwich with plantain chips, or mussels steamed in a banana leaf. But smaller dishes, including skewered marinated pork, breaded steak (Grandma's recipe) and four empanadas with four sauces, are where the chef shines, making each bite a small Cuban feast.
