The Spotted Pig Will Take Reservations for Two Weeks

In honor of the restaurant's 10th anniversary, always packed West Village gastropub The Spotted Pig will take reservations for the first time ever for dinner service on May 19 - June 2.

"There are a lot of people my age who haven't been to the Spotted Pig. They're not going to wait for two hours or three hours and get a babysitter," says Ken Friedman, explaining his and chef April Bloomfield's reasoning for the special. If it's a big hit, he says they'll add another week of reservations, maybe two, but doesn't expect it to lead to a permanent reservation policy. He adds, "If we took reservations it wouldn't be a pub anymore, but maybe we'll start taking reservations for larger parties someday. We can never say never."

Note: They won't reserve barstools, they'll hold some seats for walk-ins and regulars, and they'll keep the third floor open. Reservations for dinner service for May 19 - June 2 will open up on Monday, May 12 at 8 a.m. and will be available on The Spotted Pig's website.
