From Village Voice.
"Remember that dive bar for punks and metalheads? Gone! Since North 6th has gone through mad development, Sweetwater's owners sold the place, which has been transformed into a French-American bistro with a full bar. There's no more Slayer on the jukebox, but those looking for a slightly swankier scene, a wine list, and a refined place to sit should check it out. The kitchen stays open until 2 a.m. on weekdays, and 3:30 on weekends. We'll certainly miss the old place, though."

I stayed near here last week while I was working in the city (I'm from the UK). A friend recommended I try the food here and I was not disappointed. I ended up going back to eat a further three times; each time was a delight. Nice people, good drinks, great food.

i've been a regular for years, but i'm getting quite sick of the argentine's manners. my husband and i came in waiting to be seated, when a group of tarts hobbled up, the argentine quickly sat them down. he should be running a club not a restaurant. what has become of a neighborhood when regulars don't count anymore. he's a weasel of a lech.

i've been a local to this place for years, but last night's service was unbelievable. the argentine is a weasel of a lech. my husband and i came in waiting to be seated, when a group of tarts hobbled up, the lech sat them down first. he should be running a club not a restaurant. he only cares to stroke is old ego with young tramps. i've had it with his attitude.

to call it a yuppie joint is a bit unfair. Perhaps you are confusing yuppies with argentines? If that's the case then you are acting like a typical american, and what goes against the hipster credo more than that?
biatch!

It's THE spot for watching the World Cup in Wm'burg. The owners are Argentinian, the crowd is mellow and beautiful, and the sangria comes in two delicious colors. Great garden too.

As a local hipster (non-tattooed variety) I can attest that the crowd here is super-cool and yuppies are the exception, not the rule (flow, baby). Shit, if it's good enough for Ira Kaplan (or Ira Elliot for that matter), it's good enough for you...
On second thought, it's way too cool for the likes of you, so stay the hell away.
