SnagRes checks Bungalow on Resy continuously. The release time is confirmed against Bungalow's own booking listing. Last checked 7 September 2026.

Bungalow is one of the tough ones, and its calendar was fully booked when we last looked. That is normal here, and it is not the end of the story: most people who eat at Bungalow get in on a cancellation, which can appear at any hour and usually goes within minutes. We watch Resy continuously and email you the moment one turns up, so you can stop refreshing and still be first.

How hard is it to get a table at Bungalow?

Bungalow is hard to book by measurement, not reputation: at the last check, 0% of its 30-day booking window had a table open for two, and SnagRes has run 75,803 calendar checks on this room to date. What frees up here is cancellations, which land at no set hour and go in minutes, so an alert beats a refresh habit.

The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 10:00 PM.

We have never once seen a Monday come open, which usually means Bungalow is closed then rather than simply full.

Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time.

What is the best way to book Bungalow?

  1. Check what is open at Bungalow right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Resy. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
  2. Widen your time to include 10:00 PM. 10:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Bungalow. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
  3. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Bungalow on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Bungalow

How hard is it to get a reservation at Bungalow?
At the last check, 0% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Bungalow, which puts it among the harder rooms we track. About 19% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Resy continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Bungalow?
The open times recorded at Bungalow run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and 10:00 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
What is the best party size to book Bungalow?
Two and four book about equally at Bungalow in our data, 0% of the window open for two against 0% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Bungalow open on Monday?
We have never recorded an open table at Bungalow on a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Bungalow reservations open?
Bungalow releases reservations 20 days ahead, at 11:00 AM. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Bungalow release tables?
Bungalow releases reservations 20 days ahead, at 11:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
Which booking platform does Bungalow use?
Bungalow takes reservations on Resy. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes watches Resy for Bungalow continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into Bungalow?
Only 0% of Bungalow's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and just 19% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Most tables here surface as cancellations rather than fresh releases, which is why watching continuously beats refreshing at a fixed hour.
Can you walk in at Bungalow?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar count. With only 0% of the booking window open at the last check, Bungalow is not a dependable walk-in, and a reservation is the surer route. Some rooms keep a few bar or counter seats for walk-ins, so it is worth calling Bungalow to confirm; otherwise star it and let an alert catch a cancellation.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Resy, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book Bungalow for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Bungalow and links you straight to Resy with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
