  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
  • Neighborhood gem
A project forged of the passion of a group of partners working and living in the East Village, Boulton & Watt is based on the notion of providing great food and great drink in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from the industrial revolution – of which Matthew Boulton & James Watt were pivotal figures with their perfection of the steam engine, which in turn catapulted two continents into a new era. Our location on the corner of Houston & Avenue A melds raw, industrial accents with warm wood and tall windows; creating an intimate yet open atmosphere fitting for all seasons and all clientele. The kitchen serves a full menu; our revised take on classic American and English comfort food late into the night. We love this neighborhood, and we wanted to create a bar we were proud of. We hope you enjoy sharing in our passion.

    French onion soup, mushroom dip, prime rib and blue cheese filet were A+, and our waiter Jacob was THE BEST! Amazing dining experience all around!

    The music was so awful and loud inside and out-i had to leave. You played the most awful 80’s rock music which was not cool or nice -this is one reason your restaurant is empty

    Staff was very kind. Had the calamari and blackened chicken as per the waiter’s suggestion. Food was pretty salty but otherwise good. The Margarita was great. I was really happy with the portions.

    The girl I was with ordered the pot pie and was extremely embarrassed when it arrived and was literally the size of a full pie. I’m talking 12” diameter and could serve 3-4 people. She had asked the server how the pot pie was, who responded that it’s great. No warning on sheer mass of the dish. I personally love good portions and gladly offered to share however. Football was on and the TV was slightly unnecessarily loud. And I was someone who was watching. Very cool bar though great for drinks and the outdoor patio. Dinner was so-so.
