Time Out New York review by boozy brunch goer Maria M

After coming to the weekend boozy brunch, I now understand why this place is on every list of best NYC boozy brunch. A group of four of us went on a Friday afternoon (major plus is that this place's weekend brunch includes Friday!) and the place was busy but not too packed. We all got mimosas, which are supposed to only be served for 1.5 hours, but I guess because it wasn't that busy they let us sit there for FOUR hours... and continued to serve us for those four hours. Our waiter (Aron? I can't remember his name after drinking countless mimosas) was super nice and accommodating. Everyone's dishes were great, though mine was only okay. Highly recommend the lobster guac and lobster Mac & cheese. Also the music was on point.

Foursquare review by boozy brunch goer Byron Flores

The lobster Mac and cheese is awesome! $30 for bottomless mimosa, sangria, and a few other options plus an entree. The mimosas weren't strong but still worth the $30. Great atmosphere and music.

Poco's menu is so good, it's worth the $32 for just one and a half hours of unlimited mimosas, bloody marys, and sangria. It'll be a tough decision to choose between the lobster mac, lobster grilled cheese, and French toast. Just a heads up: It's cash only.
