Reviews Silkie's Saloon

Hey, during dinner at the diner I said a few things to you that at the time I thought were in jest, but in hindsight, I realize were teetering on hostile and passive-aggressive. I'm not making excuses or saying it was OK, but I'm not perfect either, and I believe it came from a place of insecurity. You, you're mother, Mike, and Reshat all went out of the way for me; and it really meant more than you can imagine. You were wonderful, cordial, and kind and I'd like to apologize for some of the slights or jokes I made. When no relationship has been established which might foster such banter, that flavor of interaction can come off as tasteless, hurtful and offensive. I suppose, at my core, acceptance from you and your family was so important I became insecure. So if I can get a redo on a few dialogs I'd like to say,"you made it into Boston University at 16 and earned a PHD? That's really incredible and it blows my mind you're so brilliant. Though I can't lay claim to supporting you through your journey in achieving your accolades I'm still so proud of you for reasons I really don't understand myself. You have 2 boys? I'm sure they're wonderful, and brilliant as well and I'm truly elated you shared that with me. I know we may not share the same perspective on "the situation," but to me, that makes me an uncle. That truly makes my soul sing. I've never had nephews before. You love Jewish art? Jewish art is great! The ability of an arrangement of paint on canvas to evocate feelings into your spirit is truly a gift, and an essential quality of person's humanity. Everyone, including myself are fans of art whether we've ever stopped to really think about it and acknowledge the fact or not. You had ambitions to go to med school or be a lawyer and veered into academics instead? That's beautiful; persue your dreams no matter which direction the wayward winds of fate may blow them. Life, if you're fortunate, is uncontrollable entropy, so to land in academics through the maelstrom is incredible, whatever your profession, being able to support a healthy family is a miracle in itself these days. Please continue being awesome, and please, please forgive anything I said that had a snide tone. I promise I am prioritizing emotional maturity in my journey, I'd love for you, in some capacity to be involved in it. Again, Infinitely grateful, Johann Ibis

2:00am! We had the worst travel day ever. Came here for a night cap and we LOVED it! Silkie is quirky and has stories and makes everything herself! We got amazing drinks, food, and a great time! Plus Sabrina the dog is absolutely fab!

Omg!! So we walked into SILKIES’s after a movie night .. sometimes around midnight!!! And we were blown away!! Silkie is the best hostess. I have been hundred of bars. This is amazing environment. The billiards table is amazing, Silkie even has customised cues. The music is great. I honestly, have to give in trying to use words to describe how great of time we are having. SILKIE YOU ARE THE BEST!! We love you. Hope to see you back this weekend!!

Since moving to New Rochelle back in 2015 this always been my favorite bar to have a cold one or a Rumba juice (highly recommended). Now at times I travel from Stamford, CT to New Rochelle just to enjoy my free time. The environment is calm an quiet when needed to a spot to think and have a drink. There is a pool table and sofas to relax. When busy you will always meet someone new here. Many of my ex's love the spot and my dates were happy. The bartender (silkie) is a great person. She is sweet and and happy to serve everyone. She runs the while show from kitchen to bar. Conversations are always interesting and she is on point to attend all customers. Always has been a good spot to learn info of the city of New Rochelle.

Even though it may be small and a dive bar, it has character. A good place to take someone after hours and have a personal conversation.

Always love stopping by Silkie's Saloon at night. Her signature Rumbas are amazing!

Best and only place to be in New Rochelle. Great drinks, good food and very chill atmosphere.

Best time great environment nice bartender and awesome drinks
