Jekyll & Hyde

This is for the Haunted House. I would personally choose Blood Manor than this one.

The verdict: Kinda short (maybe 5 minutes) and it relied more on visuals than actors. For example, a lot of skeletons, plastic bodies, etc. Freaky enough depending on your liking, but not a lot of live actors. I did have a few moments of a good scare, but I overall left underwhelmed. Also, I would have liked if they spaced out the group more - there were times groups were bottlenecked in the haunted house.

An unexpectedly awesome find in Greenwich Village, we popped in because it looked like a watering hole and while we were looking over the bar menu, the "show" started. It's a theme restaurant with a mad scientist's assistant who pops out and starts through some of the animatronics that activate here and there. Definitely kitchy and camp but cute and harmless. I wouldn't suggest anyone younger than, say 10 years old for this.

The have a food menu that we didn't try. I did have a drink, "Death by Poison" which is a Pepsi version of a Long Island Ice Tea. Definitely a little "go" in there and it was tasty. A little sweet, but that's Pepsi.

Try and find the hidden bathroom. Good luck!

Someone recommended this as a super fun dinner for kids. I booked it online and then checked the Yelp reviews (big mistake to not check before booking). Unfortunately, it was too late to cancel this non refundable reservation so we decided to try it.

It turns out yelpers, as usual, are right- skip this one. They get points for trying with all the spookiness and theatrics, but the food was no better than Mickey Ds and it was incredibly cheesy. I will say the staff was all very nice and helpful so they get another star for that.

It also had a mildew smell throughout and while our table was clean enough, the bathroom (hidden behind a secret bookshelf) could use a good scrubbing.

My daughter thought it was kind of fun, but pretty sure if I brought my younger boys here they'd be scared and running out the door within minutes.

Definitely a unique experience, but not for me.

Tourist trap. Food was nasty. The "attractions" were lame. The "magician" walking around is super awkward. Honestly can't imagine any human who would enjoy this venue and what they offer.

They used to have another(?) location up near Lincoln Center. Not sure if they're related, but same name, same theme, but somehow did it better than this place.

Was here for drinks on a rainy night with a large group on friends. We did not have any food and stayed at the bar so I cannot attest to their dining experience. The first thing I was disappointed with was no beer on tap, just bottled/canned beer with limited variety. Secondly I did not enjoy the whiskey and coke or whiskey and ginger I had because it was far too strong and whatever whiskey was used was bottom shelf.

The overall feel of this restaurant and bar is tourist trap kitschy haunted house. That is the theme so I don't have anything really negative to say other than it feels dated and there were a lot of children here I was not expecting to see. Would not recommend bring a child less than 10 years old here. They had some sort of haunted tour upstairs they kept bringing family groups up to while telling them the rules and not to touch anything. I probably won't be coming back unless I want to show someone a strange pocket of Manhattan nightlife.

DO NOT WASTE UR TIME nor money unless you ...you want to leave SORRY
greasy catered factory froze to cook or heat meals served in rush rush rush timing. not even seated you get bombarded by the staff waiters or servers to take your order in the smallest table in a very small dining area with a few non-overwhelming supposing scary contraptions for a 5 year old! and a few aged screaming spirits walking around screaming to scare the money of you wasted! over sugared drinks with much added syrup ...and do not start me with that forced three meal option choice of 'dezert' ! everyone gets a same cake or ice-cream. BUT KEEP IN MIND TO GUSSEL DOWN YOUR DRINKS, CHEW FACT , AND THEM WHILE YOU ARE DECIDING WHAT TO DO WITH YOU SESERT , THE BELL COMES AND ASAP YOU ARE ESCORTED OUT FOR THE next seating!
do yourself and your pocket a favor!
must inform each other and stop the abuse.

A little bit of a tourist trap. Came and left pretty quickly because we were the only group at the bar on a Saturday night.

Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS TRYPE! This place is a joke.
Let's start on how you need to make reservations online only. They can't afford to pay someone to pick up a phone? Even at home while social
Distancing? This is your first red flag.
The decor is like they bought it all at a bad dollar store. It's sad and in need of cleaning.
The food is sub-par at best.
I say all of this not to be a douche, but to warn all of the future fools that may think this would be a fun Halloween place to swing by while in town.
Nope. Skip this and invest your money somewhere else. It's gross here.

I am truly, truly confused on how to quantify my experience at this bar/restaurant into a rating.

It's a fun place. It's theme is kind of confusing (horror? But like a slapstick fun horror from the mid 60's?) and they do everything they can to stick to that theme. They have spooky animatronics behind the bar, as well as actors that come out and act out scenes complete with a smoke machine. They've even got a t-Rex skull on the wall to the left of the bar... and a bright fun completely not themed photo booth below it, which I think pretty much says it all. The animatronics mixed with the actors can come off as loud and confused, but still kind of draws me in.

The bar itself has themed drinks that were actually REALLY cool (I got the lucid dream- an absinthe based drink which was pretty solid) and they came in an optional souvenir cup for a few more dollars which you can keep. It was definitely a bit more expensive than I expected, but it was kinda fun.

Truly a disappointing experience ! J & H was highly recommended by a few co workers and I must say I was not impressed at all.
When you go onto the website it seems as if you are going to receive a live interactive experience .Also with the website promoting and suggesting reservations made it seem as if it was going to be jammed pack and not able to get in
On Arrival the host was very nice but on the walk it smelled like a dirty mop .
Drinks- ordered a speciality alcoholic drink "twin sisters" very sweet and tasty but no alcohol

Ordered my daughter a "Shirley temple"
We received Strawberry syrup with sprite and then when I asked they said they didn't have grenadine , that should have been stated prior to serving .

Oh might I add we purchased the Premium Seating club & membership that was the only thing available on the site for 8pm $69

Food appetizer
Coconut shrimp - terrible taste like it was frozen from Costco
Truffle Fries - good
Sliders -good
Mozerella sticks -frozen food
Spring rolls -frozen food

Entree -
Burger looked amazing but from the smell of the wet mop I couldn't even eat anything else

I'm just totally disapppinted

The entertainment was TRASH the guy "dr"
Attempted to make jokes but he was terrible he had the nerve to make a joke about Juneteenth and said he don't know what it is and will research it

Honestly was a WASTE of my $328 and my brother spent $328

We could have went to Ruth Chris steak house and ate well and had great service and not a wet mop smell

I do not suggest this place and wouldn't even go here for free

I'm so disappointed , maybe 20 years ago this place was nice but not the owners need to clean it up !!

Legit rip out all the floors and tables so it does not have that smell
And get a new comedian and also make sure the interaction is better

Pure false advertisement with the premiums eating and live entertainment

Terrible terrible terrible
