Cute little place, but bigger than it seems when you first walk in. easy to miss trying to find it but NOT to be missed out on. Only critique: asked for a Jager bomb and got a guiness with a shot of Jager in it. If you don't know how to make it, don't be afraid to ask.

Let me tell you. Regardless of occasion or orientation, this is a absolutely great establishment. You won’t find a more welcoming staff, a better patio or more perfect fries than at the 168 York Street Cafe.

My wife and I , lesbian couples , was treated very poorly at this establishment. From the moment I walked in this place it was a disaster. I paid for “ vip seating” .. $150 ! And there was no seats available, went to the bar .. no service. Completely ignored. And when another customer suggest to the bartender to serve us first, the bartender got rude with my wife. Uncalled for. We walked right out and lost 150. I’ve never been mistreated by my own community before. Very disappointing. I can’t wait for this place to be out of business. As someone who owns their own business, customer service is always first. Great people better, or don’t have a business. Be better. Be kinder. Be respectful. You NEVER know who you’re serving!

Love this place! Very chill vibes, easy to meet and chat with people. Great outdoor space in the back. The food is good and beer selection is decent.

I don't feel that this bar is open to all members of the LGBTQ community. I recently visited with my fiance and was ignored by the bartender and given many dirty looks from male gay customers. I've yet to find lesbian bar in New Haven and thought that York Street Cafe would at least be a safe place to quietly get a beer with my fiance among other queers. Instead I felt shamed and ostracized for being a woman. Maybe they assumed I was straight. It's misogyny either way you look at it.
