House of Wax — Restaurant in New York

We got here and all the seats at the bar were full, so we sat down at a table. It was a Tuesday night. We waited for several minutes and no one approached us, so my husband walked up to the bar to ask for a menu (we were wanting drinks and a little food.) The bartender gave him an appetizer menu with about 5-6 items on it and that's it. There were no cocktails listed on the menu posted above the bar, just 4 million kinds of beer, which neither of us drinks. I know they serve cocktails apparently but it seems they didn't want anyone to know about them as they aren't posted anywhere and we weren't given any type of drink menu. After waiting a little while longer, we decided to look around at the wax museum and then just leave. Disappointing visit. The 2 stars goes to the wax museum itself as it was...

I stopped in for a quick drink after seeing a movie earlier at the Alamo. Since I am a horror freak and consider myself quite morbid, I absolutely loved the ambiance of this place, in spite of it being a tad dark. Before sitting at the bar, I was pretty taken with all the amazing wax heads that they have on display. The bartender that I had was friendly, and he could really whip up a great and strong cocktail. They have a good-sized menu for drinks and reasonable priced, in my opinion. It's definitely a place to check out before or after a movie or if you are just shopping in the area. I will most certainly come back...

This is one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn, and not just because it’s conveniently located in the same building as Trader Joe’s and Target and Alamo. It is a really cool bar - the artifacts are fascinating to look at on their own. On top of that, the drink menu is so cool, with drinks from the early 20th century and the 19th century - and they’re delicious. The service is great, you can carry your drinks up to your movie, or you can get tipsy before your target trip. Either way, this place is great....
