Schiller's Liquor Bar

REVIEW

May 5, 2009


CUISINE: American (New), French
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village, Lower East Side

 

131 Rivington St at Norfolk

(p) 212- 260- 4555

 

Schillers looks and feels a lot like McNally's other joints-- mirrored walls, tiled floors, yellowish lighting, loud music. What distinguishes it from the pack is the affordably priced food, lively cocktails, and raucous bar scene.  The wine list is idiot-proof, organized into three categories: cheap, decent and good. Salty fries with homemade mayo are the perfect addition to any meal or beer. Young, uniformed staff serve dishes like seared tuna salad, garlicky shrimp, and charred burgers which are quite good, and served late--the kitchen stays open until 1am Mon-Wed, 2am Thurs, 3am Fri-Sunday.  Oh, and brunch includes an assortment of Balthazar breads and pastries.
